Hello everyone.  It's been a crazy busy month and I am so far behind with posting.  To catch up up going to share these 2 videos that I prepared earlier. I also had quite a few graduation cards to send out. So this is what I came up with. I have some fun things coming up including a big Close To My Heart reveal in August.  In the meantime, I have some "top secret" planning to do.  Keep stopping by.

Now that you're all organized and have started journaling, you are ready to to start scrapbooking.  The best part is that there is not really a "right" way to scrapbook.  You really should do what is best for you.  Today, I am going to show you some of the options that are available. Photo Albums As mentioned in the first post of this series, if you have your photos in adhesive albums, I really encourage you to get them out. If you look at ones that are older, you may notice some discoloration.  Only use these if they guarantee that the album is "acid free" and "archival safe".  You don't want to your photos to yellow.  A better option for those who aren't interested in scrapbooking is to put them into photo albums with sleeves to slide the photos into.  One like the one pictured below might be a good option for you.  You can click on the picture to be taken to Amazon to find this album.  This type of album comes in a variety of sizes so y...

I have a HoRRibLE memory.  Sometimes I wonder if someday I'll forget my own name.  Though it is true that a picture is worth a thousand words, you really don't want to forget the story behind those pictures. This is especially important if you don't have time to scrapbook those memories right away. In the last memory keeping post, we discussed getting our photos organized.  That is an important first step, but now lets talk about the next step... Simple Journaling Does this remind you of long diaries that you never kept up?  Believe me, I completely understand.  I can't tell you how many times over the years that I have started a journal.  Typically I would do great for a few days and then forget to write for days, weeks and months.  I'd pick it up later and have so much to say that I would spend a long time trying to remember all the fun things that had happened since I last journaled.  Now for those of you who are great journalers, I ...

Remember the new Calypso Collection from Close To My Heart?  Of course you do.  It's too adorable not to remember.
