Memory Keeping Inspiration Using The Moments Like These Card Collection

We will be using this card collection on friday august 28, 2015

There are several new Project Life by Stampin’ Up! products included in the 2015-2016 Annual Catalog that was released earlier this month that we are SO excited about. We’ll be showing you more details of these over the coming weeks, but today we are focusing our attention on one collection that is extra special. Our friends at Stampin’ Up! partnered with the amazing Liz Tamanaha to design Moments Like These – a Card Collection, Accessory Pack, and Stamp Set (that you can also purchase as a bundle to save 15%) that are beautifully simple and perfect for documenting your everyday moments.

As you can see, the color palette is gorgeous + neutral with pops of color added to the mix. The patterns are clean + modern with loads of Liz’s signature handwriting. The accessory pack includes touches of gold. All-in-all, it’s sure to become a favorite.

Memory Keeping Mini Creative Retreat

Memory Keeping Mini Creative Retreat

Do you have a camera, phone or iPad with photos that need to find a home? Or do you have boxes (or drawers) of photos that just sit in storage? Do you know someone that recently graduated, went on a trip or just had a baby? Did you go on vacation? Do you have wedding photos that need to come of storage? 

I have found a new system called Project Life/Photo Pocket Memory Keeping that takes the time, money and stress out of memory keeping.  It’s all about living your life, and documenting it for your family in a quick, simple, easy and affordable way.  With this system you can combine both pocket pages and full 12x12 pages together if you choose. You simply place your photos in the pockets, add a card from the card kit and write a note about your photos and you are done.  You can make your pages as simple or as elaborate as you would like.

I know you are busy and have so much taking up your time, but I would LOVE for you to join me in having some good healthy fun together, along with creating something that is priceless for your family.  One of my goals for 2015 is to get my photos out of boxes, off my camera and phone and into albums so my family can enjoy the photos and leave a lasting legacy.  The Project Life/Photo Pocket Memory Keeping system is an easy way to get this done.  This system is fun, therapeutic and relaxing! Would you like to join me?

On Friday August 28, 2015 will be a kick-off event where I will show you the initial process of using Project Life/Photo Pocket Memory Keeping system. After that there will be the option to come monthly for more instruction and ideas. We will start out with the Moments Like These Card Collection, Accessory Pack and 12x12 Photo Pocket Pages:
