You know many of us set a New Year's Resolution (every. single. year.) to get back in shape, right? Well, one of our very own Design Team members set this goal last year and logged her progress in a cute, little GO GREEN mini album made from Prima Packaging!
We hope Trina's story AND her project inspire you to take that first step to REACH your goals!
This album is titled “My Journey”. It’s about my constant ‘battle’ with my weight (beware, some of the photos aren’t pretty.) ~Trina McClune
A tip from Trina:
In this instance I’ve wanted to keep the album ‘open’ so I can add more pages over the years if needed. So I haven’t attached each page to another, instead I’ve used a Prima necklace to hold it all together. To do this, simply attach part of the necklace to the front cover (as part of the design), and wrap around the pages, tying in a bow to hold tight.
Supplies:
- Prima Packaging
- 810382 – Morning Song Chattering
- 812010 – Whispered Words Flock Alpha
- 542573 – Sweet Taffy Aqua

The album is gorgeous! (gotta love the teal!) and Trisha's story is is quite inspirational, especially for those trying to lose any amount of weight or just needing a little help sticking to their goals. An album is a great way to remind ourselves of our goals and provide motivation.

I am reading your blog for the first time and I must say your approach is different. What sets bloggers apart is how they connect to their readers; you really connected with me. Great post!
