I would LOVE you all dearly I can find pictures on the internet to add to my LO's...TIA

Bin Laden's death in May was a pretty big deal... Ummm... Maybe the withdraw of troops this month.

Randomly, I was reading this article and it totally fits (I think) with what you're asking: Flickr picks the 18 best news photos of 2011

There's stuff about Egypt, the Royal Wedding, Bin Laden's death, the tsunami in Japan, Riot in Vancouver, Last space shuttle launch - and a bunch others (and there are some great photos to go along with each)

[marlathrall]

I think I might totally steal this idea... I think it would be a great edition to my yearly album. Hurry and post the pages so I can scraplift you. Haha.

[MamaBee]

here are two sites to help out... http://www.time.com/time/specials/pa...101344,00.html

http://www.cnn.com/2011/12/03/living...iew/index.html

Next week, more newspapers will have their top 2011 stories coming out... or in photos... that is how I put together my top 2010 last year...

Oh, Jen. I love that Flickr site! Thanks for sharing.

Angie, what kit are you thinking about using? Now that I have pics to use (yay!), I thought about starting mine...and then I stopped, because I don't know how to scrap this. I mean, I'm going to use this template from Cindy:

but I have no idea what kit to use. Any suggestions?

[nun69]

thanks for the awesome links girls...Rebecca you are totally my inspiration cause I always remebering you doing one

as far as kits, I hadn't really thought about it but I really like the idea of maybe using Libby's Project 2012


or La's kit


but I have a feeling that adding all the stories mine might just end up as a 4 pager 3 months on each page

[nun69]

I am going to use alot on the flickr account but I am also going to add the Casey Anthony Verdict {July 5, 2011} the death of Amy Winehouse {July 23, 2011} and Amanda Knox's release from Italian prison {Oct 3, 2011}

Love this thread! I am stealing all of your ideas! ♥ Thanks!

You might also want to take a look at Wikipedia--I discovered last year that if you type in "2010", or whatever news year you're interested in, that pops up, and you can choose between world-wide news, USA only, or get specific in different topics, like science. It's pretty cool.

I'm definitely making one of these as well. Next year when I do project life, I plan to do a monthly page of news and such to keep up with it, or at least keep a word document up monthly.

[MamaBee]

If anyone is working on this (like I am right now... haha)... I found this great site:

This video is pretty cool too, an interesting take on reviewing the bigger news stories of last year.
