Today's project is a simple pocket page for the new baby girl in our family using the Bundle of Love Memories and More card set and Specialty Designer Paper. 

The cards in this Memories and More set will work for pink or blue themed albums.  Just a simple flip of the card and you'll find one or the other color.  This beautiful designer series paper collection coordinates perfectly.  Here I have cut 4" x 6" pieces as place holders until I get my photos printed.  There are cards ready for journaling for memory keeping and accent cards such as the one seen here with the quote from the book by Robert Munsch, I'll Love You Forever.

Here are the supplies used for today's project which are available in my Stampin' Up! Online Store.

Today's memory keeping/scrapbooking project is a 12 x 12 page with an 8 x 10 photo used in combination with the Project Life by Stampin' Up! Card Collection, Moments Like These.  As you'll hear in the video, I am determined to preserve these (many) 8 x 10 photos of our girls in albums rather than have so many frames.  I know they'll appreciate having it all in one place as well.

Incorporating stamps and ink in memory keeping is easy to do and doesn't have to be time consuming or elaborate.  For me, the time it took for traditional scrapbooking resulted in getting very little accomplished and a feeling of defeat and being behind. 

No more.  There is no right or wrong.  However you or I choose to preserve "our story" is the right way and will bring joy now and to future generations.

You can read a little more about this method of memory keeping HERE.

Today's video will give you a few tips for preserving these larger photos.  You'll see the process so thanks in advance for sticking with me through video!

Here are some of the supplies mentioned and used in today's video...

Product List

Moments Like These Project Life Card Collection [138454]	Moments Like These Project Life Accessory Pack [138455]	12" X 12" Page Protectors [135296]
Real Red 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Cardstock [141982]	Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad [132708]	Versamark Pad [102283]
Delicate Details Photopolymer Stamp Set [143314]

Using Project Life by Stampin' Up! has transformed my memory keeping!  Where it used to take hours and hours to create one 12 x 12 page layout, one can be completed in a few minutes.  Probably the most time consuming is the journaling but it's also very important.  Just record the dates, the who, the what, and/or your memories.  I promise you, it will be a treasure to your loved ones. 

If you enjoyed today's video and post, please let me know in the comment section below. Thanks for tuning in today for these memory keeping/scrapbooking tips and have a great weekend!

Today I'm sharing photos from our daughter's baby shower last weekend which include some decor and shower favors created with the help of Stampin' Up! supplies!

Here's a "rough" photo of the outside of the shower invitations created with the Something for Baby Bundle (wood-136790,clear-136791), the Elegant Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder(138287) along with the nursery theme colors: Blushing Bride, Smoky Slate, and Metallic Gold.  The shower information insert was created by a local digital designer.  I printed four to a page from my home computer and secured inside the card with Tombow Liquid Glue.

Here's the sign in table with favors, photos, and a precious diaper cake made by my sister-in-law, Cathy.  My daughter wanted 12 x 12 pages for the guests to sign so she chose a dotted print from the 12 x 12 Subtles stack in Blushing Bride and a layered a piece of 12 x 12 vellum over top for guests to sign.  I ordered the 12 x 12 vellum from Amazon as well as Vellum pens to eliminate smearing. 
These pages will fit nicely in our 12 x 12 page protectors (135296) and slip into her Project Life by Stampin' Up!  Striped album (138441) among her other pages that will be completed using the Hello Baby Girl Card Collection (138504) and Hello Baby Accessory Pack (138458).

Here's the banner with the baby's name that was accented with two torn fabric strip banners as the backing.

Super cute clothesline with baby clothes including some with monograms and the baby's name from sis -in-law, Cathy.

A few guest tables backed some rows of chairs for seating.  Niece, Cari, was the shower stylist.  Each table held a simple floral arrangement with hand painted framed scripture verses that she presented as gifts to the mom to be.

Beautiful tiered cake by Debbie's Delights along with Almond Punch, cookies, fresh fruit, and sandwiches provided refreshment for the guests.

Precious cookies baked and decorated by Heather Abshire, friend and former Stamp Club member.  Notice the hand painted gold detail on the carriages!

These favor boxes contained a Yankee Candle tealight wrapped in one of our  4 x 6 cellophane bags (102757).  Also used were Stampin' Up! Tiny Treat Boxes (135829), Bow Builder Punch (137414), Large Oval Punch (119855), Decorative Label Punch(120907), and the Washi Label Punch (138296). The verse was found on Etsy.

Now for proud momma moments!  Here are our two girls...the mommy to be and the best big sister ever!

So blessed with these two as daughters!

Her mother- in-law made all the bedding for the nursery!  Isn't this quilt beautiful!?

Thank you for allowing me to share in our baby shower joy and let me know if you have questions or inquiries about the Stampin' Up! product for shower favors, banners, or the invitations.  See you again soon!

Finally getting around to sharing with you on this Monday with some thoughts on my latest Project Life by Stampin' Up! project.

Watch the video message below or HERE on You Tube.

I urge you to take a look at Project Life by Stampin' Up! for recording your memories!

When Stampin' Up! first announced its partnership with Becky Higgins and Project Life, I could not wait to get started! There were lots of photos in my stash and some new awesome Project Life by Stampin' Up! products ready to go but some "road blocks" kept getting in the way of progress.

What was so difficult with using products that would help simplify my memory keeping?

Let me tell you about it.  Watch the video below or HERE on You Tube.

Project Life by Stampin' Up! WILL help simplify my memory keeping!  As I said in the video, it's all in the willingness and openess to change and try something new...give it a try!

Happy National Scrapbooking Day!  To celebrate, here are some Project Life ideas and thoughts from some of our Stampin' Up! concept artists.

Have you heard the exciting news about Stampin’ Up! partnering with Becky Higgins & Project Life? Here at Stampin’ Up!, we are very excited for this partnership and to start using our exclusive line of Project Life products.

Project Life has really revolutionized memory keeping. It’s quick, simple, manageable, and fun. All of the cards and accessories were created with coordination in mind. You can assemble pages quickly, or you can take a little more time and add stamping and accessories.

May 3 is National Scrapbooking Day. In honor of that, we’d love to share three Project Life layouts with you. All of these pages use the Everyday Adventure cards and the Everyday Adventure Accessory Pack. Enjoy!

Melody:

“I'm not much of a scrapbooker, at least in my personal life. Traditional scrapbooking can be overwhelming and time consuming. I already feel like I don't have enough hours in the day to accomplish all of the crafty things I want to do. 

Project Life works for me because it's a quick way to put my photos together and capture my experiences and feelings. This spread was perfect for me as a Project Life newbie, because all I needed was the cards and the journaling pens. The hardest part of putting this together was deciding which of the adorable Project Life cards I wanted to use, and of course which pictures of Hammond and Penny to showcase.

Jen:

“I haven’t done scrapbooking for myself in a really long time. I used to spend hours (sometimes days) working on just one page. It was messy, time-consuming and expensive. Using Project Life has made me reconsider how I feel about scrapbooking, and I now I can’t wait to start documenting life again.

On this layout, I’ve used the Everyday Adventure Card Collection and Accessory Pack. I used the Project Life Journaling Pens to document my memories. I love how these write.

Honestly, these pages came together fast. The toughest part was narrowing down which of the cute cards to use.”

Arika:

“I have been a fan of Project Life for a while now. I love the simplicity of printing photos, writing my journaling on predesigned pocket cards, and putting it all into a Photo Pocket Pages and being done. I also love that I have the option to add a little extra to my cards and pages when I need that creative outlet. The Everyday Adventure Accessory Pack is so perfect for this and makes it so easy and fun to step up my pages without too much thought and fussing around. It's a win-win in my book.  

Happy National Scrapbooking Day!”
