Memories & More Mondays

For the Love of Graduation 

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to my Memories & More Monday blog. I try and dedicated each Monday to highlighting the fun I have with Stampin' Up's Memories & More products. If you have visited, you know that I haven't been the best at "scrap booking". My life was changed when Project Life with Becky Higgins developed the Memory Keeping card kits and pocket pages! This system has made memory keeping so easy for me. Stampin' Up! has now taken this idea and broadened to Memories & More Card kits that can be used for card making as well. That's a great 2 for 1!

My layout for today brought back memories from last year when my oldest daughter graduated from college at 19. Yes, she was young. Julianne did running start for 2 years and got ahead in her college studies. She has a Bachelor's of Science in Psychology and Sociology. Julianne new works at an Autism center where she does 1 on 1 therapy with children. She got a couple of more certifications for this. Julianne wants to get back to school for her Masters or Phd. We couldn't be more proud of her. 

At the graduation ceremony, Julianne's best friend, Marissa drove down for it and surprised her. It was amazing to see all of the young students with family and friends. It was a beautiful day, but was very, very windy.  

For this layout, I used the stamps from the Lift me Up Stamp set. This is a great stamp set for lots of occasions.

There is a great matching Up and Away thinlit set that adds so many possibilities when creating projects. 

It was so fun to work on this Memories & More layout. I got a chance to be creative as well as remember about that wonderful day at Julianne's graduation. The base color for my project was Marina Mist. This is a retiring color and won't be available after May 31st. If you need the card stock, ink or refill, you should order soon!
