Memories and More Ideas

Are you a scrapbooker?  Do you wish you could be a scrapbooker, but you just don't feel like you have the time?  Memories and More is just what you need!  It's a pocket scrapbooking system which makes scrapbooking quick and easy.  You just drop your photos in the pockets and add pre-cut coordinating papers and embellishments.

But have you thought about what else you could do with Memories and More?  Here's where the "More" comes in.  I had a lot of fun creating samples for a demonstrator meeting with 100 of my demonstrator friends on Saturday.


With the help of my friends, Rae Anne and Becky, I have made 2018 calendars with the Color Theory memories and More Card Pack.  They are styled after the Paper Pumpkin calendars from a couple of years ago.  If you click here, you can get a copy of updated 2018 calendar files and make your own!

With the same Color Theory card pack, you can also make seasonal samplers (thanks Rae Anne and Becky).  And you'll still have leftover cards for scrapbooking, card making and more!

One of the many things I like about using the Memories and More card packs is that they offer a lot of flexibility.  I created greeting cards by simply adding the card and sometimes an additional embellishment or stamp.

I used just the Petal Garden Memories and More Card Pack and added some coordinating paper from the Petal Garden Designer Series Paper Stack for some backgrounds and envelope flaps.  It would be easy enough to add embellishments if you wanted to fancy them up, but I liked the simplicity of this set.

As easy as it is to use the cards to create greeting cards, it is just as easy to create 3-D items.

Memories and More can even be used to create a traditional scrapbook page.

Memories and More card packs come in these boxes that store nicely and take up very little space.

But for those of us who want more information on the packaging, Rae Anne and I decided we wanted to store them in the large stamp cases, and she created a great label for our kits.

Watch for details coming soon about a class featuring the samplers and calendars!

4th of July Scrapbooking - Most Popular Post

I love seeing comments here or on my Facebook page, and I find the stats so interesting.  What makes one post more popular than another?  So on this 4th of July, I am reposting my most popular blog post ever!

This July Fourth set is so easy to work with that this was one of my quicker scrapbook pages.  It's not hard to decide on colors so you save a little time right there ;-)  I decided to make a progressive scrapbook page, so I started by making a 6 x 6 scrapbook page for one picture.  

Then I put it onto an 8 1/2 x 11 page and added a couple more photo boxes.   

Then I used my Big Shot to cut letters and made it into a 12 x 12 page ready for some great holiday photos this weekend.   

But why stop there?  The original 6 x 6 scrapbook page can be folded and turned into a 3 x 6 card.  Use one of our Small Open-End Envelopes and drop it in the mail.  

Supplies: July Fourth stamp set, Night of Navy, Real Red, Whisper White cardstock, Night of Navy, Real Red, Daffodil Delight ink, 1 1/4 circle, 1 3/8 circle, star punch, Big Shot, Timeless Type Junior Alphabet, dimensional

Project Life

I'm loving Project Life and how easy it's making my memory keeping.  I plan to do a mixture of traditional scrapbooking and Project Life.

Scrapbook Club Layout for Tuesday

Well thanks to a computer problem, I have been offline.  I still don't have my computer, and I can't get to my pictures.  So just imagine all of these blank pages with pictures of my convention roommates site seeing in Salt Lake City the day we arrived.  Fortunately my pictures are on an external hard drive so they are safe - I just can't get to them right now.

 

This layout was inspired by a Scrapbooks etc. layout that I saw on Pinterest.  Thanks Michelle!

Christmas Scrapbook Layout

At Gail's request, we are using a layout from her recent Creating Keepsakes Magazine since it is her hostess month for Scrapbook Club.  But the really cool thing about it is that we are using My Digital Studio!  Can you guess where?  I don't own the Bingo stamp set, so I purchased it digitally and printed out the bingo card.  Pretty slick, huh?  Tonight the ladies can customize their bingo card with colors of their choice and make it work for any occasion!  I am looking forward to seeing what they will come up with.

Scrapbook Club Tonight

I took my inspiration for tonight's Scrapbook Club (guests welcome) from the Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalog.  I loved the bright colors and the Circle Circus together.  After I tweaked the sample from the catalog, I created a second page to complete the layout.  Then I broke out my paper piercer and white gel pen for the faux stitching on the side and bottom edges.  Now all I need to do is add the pictures!
