Preserving Memories

I've talked about the reasons for scrapbooking before.  It's about preserving memories.  That's it.  Most of the time, we do it with pictures.  Sometimes we add some pretty stuff to go with them in the form of paper and embellishments.  So many times I hear people say, "I don't have time."

Well, the truth is, you make time for the important things.  For me, scrapbooking is important.  My kids LOVE to look at pictures of themselves.  They want me to tell them the same stories over and over.  Scrapbooking helps me to preserve those stories.  They don't care if I use the "right" paper or the "perfect" embellishments.  They just want the stories.

Several years ago, I was a Pampered Chef consultant.  I enjoyed it, but I noticed I was spending all my commission on scrapbooking supplies.  I found Close to My Heart and fell in love with the products.  CTMH motto is scrapbooking faster, simpler, and easier.  There are sooooo many ways to get this hobby done faster, simpler, and easier.  That's why I am such a HUGE fan of my products.  Oh, and everything is beautiful and perfectly coordinated (a big plus for a perfectionist like me).  I save time right there because I don't have to go from store to store trying to match everything.

As for other easier and faster ways to scrapbook, I have several solutions.  Today, I will focus on one.  Studio J!
