Is Scrapbooking Changing? | Modern Memory Keeping

September 8, 2015 by Francine Clouden

Modern Memory Keeping at Parenting Magazine_creditbeckyhiggins

What do you think of when you hear the term “scrapbooking”? Does it call to mind cheesy stickers & cardstock cut outs? Do you imagine a stressed out hobby where you need to keep up, and scrapbook every single photo taken at a birthday party? These days scrapbooking is a very different thing, and this article in Parents magazine outlines how modern moms can document memories without being stressed out about it.

As moms, taking time to document our memories can allow us to find the joy in our lives, even when there’s spit-up on our only clean shirt. Life can move at a pace that makes it difficult to see the goodness. Slowing down and adding memory-keeping to your routine can, at the very least, help you see blessings in your life.

The article includes interviews with both Beck Higgins and Ali Edwards, and goes on to share five tips for getting started with scrapbooking. This is also a great read if you’re already a scrapbooker and feeling a bit overwhelmed. it just might give you a new appreciation for the hobby and light that memory keeping spark again!

Travel Tag Mini Scrapbook Album

Travel Tag Mini Scrapbook Album

Andrea used the Fun Times collection from Simple Stories to create this fabulous mini Travel Tag album. She even found a cute tiny plastic suitcase to fit it inside of, decorating the outside with a few chipboard elements and a scalloped border.

Travel Tag Mini Scrapbook Album

The album itself has different siezd and shaped pages, some rectangle, some tag shaped, some with scalloped edges but all stitched around the edges. It’s held together at the top with a metal “O” ring.

Travel Tag Mini Scrapbook Album

The pages have 3″ x 2 1/2″ photos that are accented with metal buttons, vintage cameras, floral and map papers, chipboard embellishments, tabs, labels and travel related designs in fun retro color combinations.

She’s even included some fun interactive pages too for a really cool tiny but mighty album design.

Learn more and check out the entire project over at the Simple Stories blog.
