Click your pictures with your digital camera. Print your pictures with you color printer or at a printing station at the local pharmacy or store. Slide your pictures into a photo safe album and tell your stories on a journal card. It all sounds so easy. Well there is a very easy method to do this. And, this also helps you keep a very nice back up of your favorite moments as well as their stories.
With the Digital Age for photographs, as well as the boxes and drawers loaded with old photographs, these photo safe “slide it” albums are a quick and easy solution to scrapbooking. They hold 4″ x 6″ photographs and come with a 32 backing/journaling cards. You can put five pictures or 4 pictures and a story card on each page in this 16 page album (32 pages of pics). It comes with 32 story cards also.
When I travel, I take tons of pictures just like everyone I know. Not all the pictures are grand, but some are wonderful. You can actually take one of these albums with you on a trip. Add a story card to the sleeves inside the album after a grand adventure and you’ll never forget a moment. Or just take the story cards with you and write as you are enjoying the day. That way the cards are always with you. It is very easy to match your favorite pictures with the stories you have written.
My husband would often complain that I took hundreds of pictures he would never see after the trip was done. This is the perfect solution so he can open the album and enjoy the trip again. And, writing the “Who, What, When, and Where” at the time saves our memories accurately. He loves to grab one of these albums and live the wonderful time again.
Try this sometime: Write your stories the same day they happened. Store them in a safe place and match the pictures to the stories when you get home. Does anyone have a better idea? I am looking for more solutions every day.
