MOM & DAD: A LIFETIME OF MEMORIES by Kathi Kirkland
Kathi says, “I made four
of these 38-page 6 x 6”
albums for my siblings and
I shortly after our parents
passed away. I wanted to
document our parents’ lives
in a small way for each of
us. To keep it simple and
efficient, I selected 6 x 6”
as the format, since I could
get four pieces from a 12
x 12” sheet of patterned pa-
per – one for each album.
I used 4 x 6” photos, jour-
naling and minimal embel-
lishments. On each spread,
I tried to find pictures of
my parents from the same
year or around the same
age to show them growing
older together. I love how
this album turned out and
my siblings love it as well.”
Album is 7 ½ x 6 ½”
