My family has a lot of great memories but I have to admit that I’ve never been that good at preserving them. Even since Zackary was a baby, I found that the pictures I took sat on my computer for far too long without ever being enjoyed and even when I did get prints made, I usually just popped them in a basic photo album and set it on a shelf. Scrapbooking was a concept that intrigued me, but also seemed far too complicated.
That’s where Project Life by Stampin’ Up! comes in! This new line of products from Stampin’ Up! takes the concept of scrapbooking and makes it simple enough for even the busiest mom to be able to manage. Featuring pre-divided clear plastic sheets, fun printed card inserts, stamps, pens and stickers, creating stunning scrapbooking pages is as simple as slipping pictures into place, adding printed cards for accents and stamping on a few details to preserve your memories beautifully!
I received a set of Project Life products so that I could test out the concept myself. And believe me when I say that if I had found the job too time-consuming, I would certainly have abandoned it quickly. Luckily, that wasn’t the case. Each clear page has spaces for four 4”x6” pictures and four printed 3”x4” cards. I printed four pictures from our family’s recent trip to the Beaches Negril resort in Jamaica on photo paper, cut them apart, slipped them into place and then contrasted them with the cards to create a simple and beautiful layout in mere minutes!
The best part is that while the Project Life products are simple to use, they are still also very customizable. From adding specific stamps to the cards to highlighting pictures with a fun phrase or written memory, giving the pages of the book individual personality is easy and fun. And best of all, I am finally able to enjoy all those family memories instead of having the photos of our adventures hidden on my laptop!
If you have memories you’d love to preserve as well, this is a giveaway you won’t want to miss! Stampin’ Up! is very generously offering one lucky Mommy Kat and Kids reader a Project Life by Stampin’ Up! prize pack just like the one I received, a $100 value, so that you can create your own beautiful photo book of memories!

After all, preserving special memories isn’t nearly as much fun when it’s too time consuming!
