What's your favorite __________?

2009-02-16T19:06:00.000-08:00

Here's a new idea for your memory pages:

Write down some things about yourself that you don't want to forget. There's a Facebook trend right now (so I hear)... "25 things about me"; save those details forever. You're interesting and people should know!

You don't have to have photos on these pages, just write it down and share that memory art!

Valentines Card-Making Party

2009-02-14T15:13:00.000-08:00

Making Memories has never been so easy!

Maegan hosted a Creative Memories Party at her home for her Sunday School class/Bible Study girls. We made cards for Valentines Day and played around in StoryBook Creator Plus! I think the gals had fun just hanging out. See the fun below!
Gals that were invited to Maegan's party (whether you came or not)... please remember that if you purchase StoryBook Creator Plus, I'll throw in a free training session.
Thanks for the fun night Maegan! Keep making those great StoryBooks!

Calendar Your Memory Art

Calendar Memory Art

Document your years in a new, easy, inexpensive way. Use this technique to look at your year's memories at a glance. And the best part is, it doesn't take much time at all! Snap a few photos per month and tape them to a calendar.

Download the FREE digital calendars and make an 8x8 or 12x12 digital page of each month! It couldn't be easier.

2008 album- 12x12 page prints

2008-12-31T20:12:00.000-08:00

One of the greatest things about Digital Memory Art is how quickly you can complete a page... and album. All your photos are on your computer, all your digital 'art pieces' and fonts are in the same place and you can edit and rearrange as much as you want. The undo button is a beautiful thing! I play around with page elements from the packages I've downloaded - mixing and matching until I like the result!
I made my 2008 album with 12x12 page prints... picking a few key events from each month of 2008. Above are just a few examples of pages that vary in design and style.
Creative Memories' Photo Center prints these pages, and I slide the printed pages in a Creative Memories 12x12 album. There's not an easier or more cost effective way to accomplish a year's worth of Memory Art and preserve my favorite moments!

Recipe Cards

2008-12-31T20:04:00.000-08:00

This is one of my most requested recipes. I used Creative Memories' StoryBook Creator Plus to make this recipe card.
What a great way to share your favorite recipes; make a recipe book for your girl-friends, for a wedding gift, or for preserving your own family recipes!
