Since I have been really into Instagram this past year, I thought it might be fun to capture that by choosing one photo from each month and making a journal.
Here is my cover - I actually used a journal that I purchased online and was not happy with the paper or binding quality - but loved the covers. So I cut them down to size. The photos are 5x5 so I made the covers about 6x6.

On the inside cover, I wrote out the locations of each photo...

For the pages, I used your run of the mill page protectors...

and I used my sewing machine to sew the photos into them...

making sure that I kept enough room in the middle to stitch the pages into the covers...

I laid it out first, before sewing, to make sure I got the photos into the correct order.

Then on the inside back cover, I wrote out the months and a short description of each photograph.

Viola! My year in 12 photos - a great keepsake from a great year.
