Memories and More album cover

I had a bit if a dilemma when I was decorating my album cover. I had put off doing it for so long but my album was full. It was finally time to finish it properly.

Originally, I kept it simple. Just stamps and ink.

I love the words from this new Peaceful Days stamp set. They are perfect for scrapbooking.

Then I decided I wasn’t completely happy with how plain it was, so I got out my Memories and More Mixed Media Floral card packs and some Stampin Up ephemera, plus retired ribbon and trim to create this cover.

The Designer series paper for the front was a perfect base. Plenty of colour but not too busy, with the pattern only around two edges. The paper is called Painterly Pears and is a new Online Exclusive.

Memory keeping with ephemera packs

I recently purchased the Joyful images ephemera pack from Stampin’ Up! and I used it to create a layout for my Memories and More album.

There were so many printed and die cut images to choose from. Each pack contains 8 sheets of 4 different designs.

I combined a few images together to create filler cards for the pockets in my Christmas Memories and More album.

I love the touch of gold on some of the images. Some images came cut with a white border and some without. I used both in my layout.

The words I used were from the Peaceful Season stamp set and inked with Garden Green ink to match the card and photo mats.

Did you notice the Real Red and Cherry Cobbler banners on the photo above? They lay across two pockets so I had to adhere them to the outside. Have you ever done this? Do you think it’s okay or do you prefer to have everything adhered down and safely contained inside the pockets?
