Welcome to the Spring Memory Works Blog Hop.

You should have found me after visiting  Lacey Igo 
 Aren't her designs awesome?

Do you know how I know it's spring? It's definitely not because of the weather either. I know it's Spring because the new Memory Works Catalog is out and I am so excited to share it with you.

My fellow consultants and I are showing off the newest lines in today's Blog Hop. I hope you enjoy. Oh and don't forget to click the link to see the new catalog.

Today I am featuring the Sn@p line. When I was trying to figure out what I wanted to create for this post, I decided to go back to basics and show off why I loved Memory Works in the first place. It's SIMPLE.

I decided to make one 12x12 layout about the Car Show we attended on Easter Sunday. I have a lot of other photos but really no time to scrap them right now. So I used the Simple Stories divided pages to get the rest of my photos into the story with a few journal cards to embellish and decorate the page.

 

 

 

See how simple, easy and pretty this is? Thanks for hopping by. Now please visit Amanda Bratu who has some more great creations in store for you.

Blog Hop

The new Memory Works catalog is coming out any day now and the  Memory Works Team is hosting a Blog Hop on April 17, 2013 to show you all of the wonderful ways to use the newest, latest and greatest products that will be available. See you then.

 

Here's a sampling of what is to come.

 

 

 

 

Welcome to the 2013 Team Introduction Blog Hop. Happy, happy new year everyone. I hope you all had a happy holiday season. There's nothing like new beginnings to get your inspiration flowing. My word for 2013 is Transformation. I started with a new hair style. Then I am participating in Move More Eat Well 2.0 with Cathy Zielske. In February I am doing a Things I Love daily album. And I for one am ready to think outside the box in 2013. So let's get going. You should have arrived here from Janey's blog, but if not, start your journey at the Memory Works blog.

The first project I would like to share with you is an altered file folder that I cut down and glue onto a basic 12 x 12 page. It's like a mini album and layout all in one and it fits beautifully in a 12 x12 album. Wondering how to flip open the folder while it's inside a page protector? Just cut a slit the width of the folder and then slide the layout in, making sure to let the file flaps slide through the slit. The rest of the layout slides into the page protector like normal.

This next layout uses Simple Stories Summer Fresh. I love this page and the kids in it.

I am a big proponent of scrapping the scrapbooker. It's important for us to be in front of the camera to capture our own stories, past and present.

Finally a little tag with an envelope to hold a gift card for the holidays is a must. Yes, the holidays are over. But use a different line of paper products and embellishments and it's a gift card holder for any occasion.

Thanks for visiting. Now head on over to Katie's blog.
