I was recently talking about our Memories and More scrapbooking line with a friend. She mentioned that she liked the idea of the pocket pages that make scrapbooking so much quicker, but she was not in love with the plain 6x8 albums. Her words… “who wants a plain brown book?”. And I totally agree! Nobody wants a plain, boring book. That’s for sure. Then I explained to her how I decorate my covers. I'm glad the albums are plain so I can make … [Read more...] about Not Just Another Boring Album

Five Minute Friday – National Scrapbook Day
Tomorrow is National Scrapbook Day! I think it's kind of cool that one of my favorite hobbies has an actual "Day".

We switched over to digital cameras shortly after they came out. We love digital photography. We love the freedom of taking a ton of pictures and then … [Read more...] about 280,432
Five Minute Friday – Project Life
Long before I joined Stampin Up, I was an avid scrapbooker. I realize some cardmakers and papercrafters cringe when they hear the word “scrapbooking”. It sounds so intense. You picture piles of supplies and photos everywhere and how can you possibly get it all into a reasonable sized album. Believe me, I get it. I was one of those people surrounded by never ending piles of photos and supplies. This was exactly why I love cardmaking and … [Read more...] about Five Minute Friday – Project Life
