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.

Pocket scrapbooking with Mixed Media Florals

Today I have a good tip for you.I am answering some questions that I often get asked in class.How do I make use of all the variety pages when I want to put four little photos or cards and I only have pages left that hold full size photos? Or another question is… How do I stop my small photos and cards moving around if they are in a big pocket? This tip will answer both.

Grab a piece of window sheet (acetate) and cut to 6″ x 4″. Tape your photos down. Insert window sheet in large pocket. It totally looks like it is a four pocket page but it’s not and because the photos are tapped down, they don’t move.

I have done the same on the opposite page with two small photos in a small pocket. (Upper left corner).

Products used are Memories and More variety pages. Mixed Media Florals memories and more card pack, Window sheet, tear n tape.

More photos in albums always makes me happy. Here’s one of the latest pages that I been doing.

It uses the Mixed Media Florals Memories and More card pack. You can see all the pack here…https://youtu.be/yZD0ocDj0wE?si=PMME0E-J_AomsoyZ

My layout is pretty simple, I added a filler card plus a strip from another filler card and a couple of stickers and I was finished.
