MyMemories Blog: Friday Feature!! What are *YOU* up to??

Super excited! The project my kids and I worked on is on the MMS blog. My son decided that as a summer playdate he wanted to make cards for soldiers. When I went looking for stickers and things to put on the cards, I couldn't find any. So, my simple solution was to use MMS and make some. I used the Fabulous 4th Flair by Ettes & Company to make the perfect little embellishments for the cards. This was so easy for the kids! Please check it out here:

A Little More White Space


I have seen so many wonderful layouts with lots of 'white space'. I have been trying to see if I can pull this off with a nice layout, and here is one of my most recent attempts. I like the clean and simple look of this!

Special Times



This was created using the super cool kit, Another Ordinary Day by Vera Lim Designs.

My son and I had a great time at Walking with Dinosaurs. It was an amazing show. So special because my son LOVED dinosaurs and he was super excited!

MMS Vacation Challenge

Vacation, wish I was taking one soon. We did take one back in October so I really can't complain. Here is the layout I came up with. This is a really different style for me. But, I like different.

Frustration Free Masks!

I am not a huge fan of PSE9 because it just doesn't make sense to me. I have tried and tried, but I just don't get it. I do love the look of masks, and with the help of Albums to Remember, I can use masks without the frustration. Here is a super simple page I was able to make in seconds!

What to do with old school papers

As moms, we all want to keep our children's artwork, schoolwork and everything else from their childhood. I found a great way to keep much of what my son brings home from school, without taking up much space. I have started to scan and digitally scrap many of his writing pages and artwork. This is another reason why I love MMS software!
