Have there been events, memories, days, and/or happenings you want to record? You can easily accomplish this with Stampin’ Up! products. In the last few months, Stampin’ Up! has been adding to its memory keeping collection by adding more 12 x 12 paper as well as Scrapbooking Workshop Kits and other items. Click here to explore the memory keeping options on Stampin’ Up!’s store.
In today’s post, I share a page I created to commemorate my niece’s 40th birthday. I’ll give this page to her so she can either frame it or include it in an album.
I haven’t scrapbooked in many years, so I called on my team member Lori Miller. For a recent team meeting, she demonstrated this fun page and shared her memory keeping journey.
Lori told us how she used a card sketch from page 22 of Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog as the inspiration for this page. I love it!
