As I sit down to write my post today , to share my first project with you as part of the
Heidi Swapp Media team there is one image from my memory file that keeps popping into my head. My mum. Its been over two years since we lost my mum and I still have not had the strength to scrap about her, I miss her daily and it has just been too hard. When Heidi asked us to create a memory file about us...YIKES!!! I thought ,but when I decided to go with the theme of the important people in my life it sort of all fell into place. It's the first time I have used a photo of my mum in my scrapping, one from my wedding - probably my favourite photo from that day 7 years ago, I am so proud to have that photo in my Memory File.
Heidi's
Memory file system is just so fabulous to work with, It's like having a new lease on scrapping life. It allows you to add photo after photo , memory after memory all in the one place.
If you havent seen Heidi's new
Vintage Chic line you are in a for a real treat. Soft chic colours and patterns, beautiful embellishments..its to die for.
On the inside of my Memory File I have a
Mini Memory file....don't you just love the layers you can create with this system.
In my paper baggie I have for safe keeping letters from my husband and best friend...and a little drawing from my eldest Addion who is five...isnt he the sweetest...
Thank you for letting me share a little part off me.
For those in Australia looking for Heidi's Vintage chic Memory Files and goodies, keep your eye out at
The Scrapbook store (formally Handmade By Suzanne) a little birdie told me they will be arriving there soon.
