Stacy Julian’s SCHOOL ALBUM with Extended Story

When Stacy Julian shared her Extended Story years ago and Close to My Heart came out with a pattern to make the pages, I just fell in love with this idea! I’ve been using it since then and I really love the OPTIONS it gives you for a school year, a long weekend, a visit or excursion in a country, a getaway … I’m sure you’ll come up with a few ideas of your own. Watch this video as Stacy walks you through it all:
