New Beginings

Well the brand new year is off and running and there is so much to look forward to. I'm confident that this year will bring many picture taking opportunities for my family and can't wait to share those moments with you.

I'm not real big on new year resolutions because they always seem to get broken and then I usually feel bad. Why set yourself up for "bad" feelings?  I'd rather not, thank you!  So I've decided to start the new year with a new outlook and a new beginning, and whatever blossoms from that, will be new and exciting!

What better way than to gather your pictures and start a brand new photo memory project, or continue an old one?  It doesn't have to be extravagant, just start.  We take all these great pictures throughout the year and most of them are hidden in our computers or on memory cards!

I love scrapbooking, but the reality is with a job, house to keep, 3 daughters and a brand new granddaughter on the way, I can get overwhelmed with several scrapbook projects going at one time. I don't have time to "scrapbook" everything, and frankly, when I get overwhelmed, I don't want to scrapbook anything! I totally understand the "I don't have time for that" comment from so many! That's why I love Creative Memories' Picfolio Milestones albums. It wasn't always so, I had an aversion to this type of album when it was first released because it wasn't a scrapbook album. What were they thinking? But acceptance has come....It's so easy to quickly slide my pictures in, share the story on one of the precut papers from an album kit and before I know it my family pictures are in albums for us to enjoy. No Guilt....Just Albums!

See how easy it can be!

Watch, Enjoy, and then give me a call or visit my website to begin celebrating your new beginning with a new album.

Delighted With Digital

I once again have determined that I love Digital Scrapbooking. Oh, I also love traditonal scrapbooking and I don't ever imagine myself not scrapbooking but the idea that you can take pictures on Friday, have a full weekend, including a full day of work on Saturday, church and family lunch on Sunday and still quickly edit, create, and post completed pages for your friends and family to admire by Sunday evening is awesome.  No worrying about developing the pictures, dragging supplies out or even having the needed scrapbook materials on hand, it's really no mess, no fuss!  I love, love, love it. 
Here are the pages I completed in a little less than a 1/2 hour so on Sunday.

I designed these pages for my mom, she lives in another state and I periodically send her pages for her enjoyment.  She hangs them on her Everyday Display until she gets a new one and then slides it into a 12x12 Picfolio Max album. 

I love that she can enjoy pictures of her grandchildren and before she knows it she'll have a full photo album of digital scrapbook pages.



My favorite part....if I decide that I really like one of the pages that I created, I can just order a second copy for myself!

Ah! The beauty of digital!

Creative Memories Storybook Creator makes digital scrapbooking easy. The creative flair that it allows and the easy user friendly tools are amazing; the program shines high above other options.

Got Boxes And Drawers Full Of Pictures?

Are your pictures in drawers and boxes, or maybe they're in a closet or under the bed?  Don't feel like your alone.  As a Creative Memories Consultant, I've talked with many people, and have found that when it comes to printed pictures, these places rank #1. If you're one of those people who get overwhelmed just thinking about what you would do to organize them, I can help!

I can show you how to organize your printed photos using our Power Sort products. These durable photo safe products make organizing and finding those special memories do-able. I've created a system to help you quickly sort your boxes of photos into smaller workable groups, and finally neatly organized and labeled into the individual compartments of the Photo Sort Box.  Click here to watch a quick video and learn a few more details.

After you're pictures are organized and safely stored you can decide to continue to store them or take the next step and get them (at least a few of them) out of those boxes and into your life. We all love looking at family pictures why not enjoy yours.  If you have heard about Creative Memories you surely know about our scrapbooking options, but Scrapbook Albums are not for everyone. How about sliding your favorite photos into our pocket-style PicFolio™ Albums or maybe you like that Traditional Scrapbook look but just don't have the time or patience. Maybe a Traditional Quick Kit Album is more along your line. The pages completed for you, all you need to do is add a couple pictures, write your story and your done!

Whatever your preference, I can help you every step of the way and ensure you have hundreds, or maybe its thousands, of photos stored and shared with ease.  Contact me for help.
It's Your Life, Your Story, Your Way.
