Treasure those memories
Hello and welcome to our blog
hop for April.
I love the idea of memory keeping – I take so many photos
that I just don’t seem to print out these days and I’d be so upset if I ever
lost them. So I decided to give it a go.
Stampin' ups memory and more range makes memory keeping
fun and easy!
I went for the smaller 6” x 8” size to begin with –
although I would try 12”x12” for my next album – I’ll explain why later!
I bought the Kraft album, variety pack of pages and
colour theory card pack.
The cards have a variety of designs, cards to write on,
sayings, overlays and stickers. It’s simply a case of choosing which photos you
want and mixing them with the cards and accessories in whatever layout you’d
like!
It’s so easy to sit with just with these few items, a
trimmer (to cut down photos) and a pen!
The only problem I had is the 6” x 8” albums only have
space for landscape full size photos and not portrait. The 12” x 12” albums do
allow for portrait as well as landscape. I did work around this by using
portrait photos in the smaller cut down spaces but I wish I’d noticed it as I
had a lot of portrait pictures! I’m more
than happy with the results though – just thought it was worth noting!
So my album isn’t finished yet – I need to add more info
and embellishments but I’m enjoying taking time out and reliving the memories
of a fantastic holiday and actually printing out my photos for a change!
Please take the time to look at the other creations on
the hop – I’m sure it will feature a variety of other memory keeping ideas!
Thanks for reading

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely album full of those precious memories Sam... enjoy creating the rest!
ReplyDeleteLove those sunny pictures - they go so well with your Memories & More cards. I used 8 by 6 albums but I just turned them round for my portrait photos and had to do a double page layout for them. There's a video on my fb page of my first memories & more album with the portrait photos x
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing blue in your photos - it looks like a fantastic holiday, so pleased you've made such a wonderful memento!
ReplyDeleteLovely memories Sam and beautifully documented. x
