Do you have stacks of photographs sitting around that you haven’t had time to put into photo albums? Do you have special pictures that you want to do something with but don’t know where to start? Creative Memories is a company dedicated to making your memories into meaningful keepsakes. Creative Memories offers scrapbooking and journaling products and supplies to help you preserve your family photos. Every one of us has a special time in our lives. A wedding, the birth of a child, vacations, graduations. Creative Memories can help you document and preserve the pictures from these events into a scrapbook which you can pass on from generation to generation.
Where do you begin? The first step is to organize pictures you have taken. Have you taken pictures that really haven’t turned out that well, but you’ve kept them anyway? Why? Weed out those that truly are not worth keeping. Decide what type of project you would like to make. Would you like to make a scrapbook of a child’s birth and first year? Sort out the pictures you like best from this blessed event and use them for your scrapbook.
Next, you will need to find a Creative Memories consultant. You can go onto the Creative Memories website and do a search to find a consultant near you. Once you have found a consultant, decide if you would like to host a party or attend a workshop or open house. By hosting a party, you can earn free products and gifts. You can attend a workshop hosted through your consultant. Consultants will often hold workshops where you can go and spend time working on a project. You can also purchase products at the workshops. Another option is to order products online. Go to the Creative Memories website to find all the scrapbooking supplies you will need for your project.
The first thing you will need to purchase is an album. There are albums in different sizes and colors. The most common album is the Premier Album in 12×12. Other items you will need are paper, pens, stickers, cropping tools, and adhesives. You can purchase paper cutters and Shape Makers. Shape Makers allow you to make shapes like stars, hearts, circles and squares. You can find papers in many designs and colors fit for all occasions such as birthdays, Christmas, weddings, and welcoming a new baby into the family. It’s not hard to learn how to make pages for your memory album; just a little time and training.
Creative memories are a great way to make a special keepsake for you and your family, while having fun in the process. Get together with some friends; gather some photos, and schedule a Creative Memories party or workshop today!
