It was my first time there and I loved it! We got so many great pictures and I was so excited to go home and make a mini album with all my photos. I have have been wanting to play around with our <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=132544&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=documenting-with-divided-page-protectors" src="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=132544&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=documenting-with-divided-page-protectors">8" x 8" Divided Page Protectors</a> for awhile, now, and I figured this would be the perfect opportunity.</p> <p>If you don’t recognize the black and white striped album, I will tell you a little secret . . . it is the <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=132259&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=documenting-with-divided-page-protectors" src="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=132259&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=documenting-with-divided-page-protectors">Seasonal Stripes 8" x 8" Designer Ring Album</a> from the holiday catalog.  It is amazing what a little spray paint and some masking with washi tape can do!</p> <img src="http://stampinup.com/home/images/default-source/corporate-blog-posts/documenting-with-divided2.gif?sfvrsn=0" title="Documenting-with-divided2"><br> <br> <p>I love doing large, full-spread pictures in my albums and I don’t even mind that it is not in a page protector—I actually kind of like it that way! I just use a soft gloss photo paper so the pictures don’t get fingerprints.</p> <img src="http://stampinup.com/home/images/default-source/corporate-blog-posts/documenting-with-divided3.gif?sfvrsn=0" title="Documenting-with-divided3"><br> <br> <p>I love adding digital stamps to my photos using My Digital Studio. The “Will Travel” stamp comes from the <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=134939&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=documenting-with-divided-page-protectors" src="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=134939&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=documenting-with-divided-page-protectors">Wanderlust Stamp Brush Set</a>.  </p> <img src="http://stampinup.com/home/images/default-source/corporate-blog-posts/documenting-with-divided4.gif?sfvrsn=0" title="Documenting-with-divided4"><br> <br> <p>I had fun combining <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=131271&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=documenting-with-divided-page-protectors" src="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=131271&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=documenting-with-divided-page-protectors">This and That stickers</a>, papers from the <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=131268&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=documenting-with-divided-page-protectors" src="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=131268&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=documenting-with-divided-page-protectors">This and That Journal</a>, and elements from <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=130647&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=documenting-with-divided-page-protectors" src="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=130647&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=documenting-with-divided-page-protectors">My Digital Studio</a></p> <img src="http://stampinup.com/home/images/default-source/corporate-blog-posts/documenting-with-divided5.gif?sfvrsn=0" title="Documenting-with-divided5"><br> <br> <p>I was surprised by how much fun it was to use the divided page protectors with all of the 2" x 2" squares.  I had a postcard that I wanted to use, so I just adhered it to the front of the page protector.</p> <img src="http://stampinup.com/home/images/default-source/corporate-blog-posts/documenting-with-divided6.gif?sfvrsn=0" title="Documenting-with-divided6"><br> <br> <p>For this side of the page protector, I cut up a 4" x 6" photo to take up some of the space. I love how it looks broken up like that.</p> <img src="http://stampinup.com/home/images/default-source/corporate-blog-posts/documenting-with-divided7.gif?sfvrsn=0" title="Documenting-with-divided7"><br> <br> <p><span style="line-height: 1.5;">I had a lot of fun using the <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=133450&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=documenting-with-divided-page-protectors" src="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=133450&utm_source=stampin-up-blog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=documenting-with-divided-page-protectors">Show & Tell Photopolymer Stamp Sets</a>.
