Spring Into Action
We are starting to see a glimmer of longer days ahead. The sun staying out longer is a sure sign of warmer, more colorful days ahead. A new season is just around the corner, and not just any season, Spring! March 20th is the first day of Spring and the design team is ready to celebrate the change in season by energetically scrapping refreshing new designs. With many bold and beautiful patterns out today - we have dedicated March as the month to dazzle you with the new looks of Spring!
Product Feature: Your Vacation Spot
By Vickie Brown, Design Team Member
Spring is officially here and the unofficial beginning of the vacation season is upon us! From Spring Break in Florida, an anniversary trip to Sedona or camping on Memorial Day weekend, vacation plans are in the works!
This week, the Lifetime Moments Design Team would like to aid in your vacation photo planning and scrapping. As a child my family took very few vacations, so vacations and their memories are really precious to me. I always feel a bit intimidated and want to do just the “right” pages and take just the “right” photos. I’d like to share a few ideas with you that might help during this vacation season.
From Saturday trips to the park to Alaskan cruises, this is the season for fun photography while having a little “down time”. Have fun with your photos, be sure to journal your thoughts, and check out the Design Team gallery for ideas on scrapping those precious vacation photos!

Mini Feature: Decorate Life: Scrapbook by Making Memories
By Kate J., Design Team Member
In classic Making Memories style, this new idea book is beautifully designed and photographed with many clever and innovative ideas for product use. This substantial, 137 page idea book is going to take quite some time for you to get from front cover to back, so get ready with a big cup of tea, this book is going to captivate you for hours on end!
Decorate Life: Scrapbook is not just another idea book with random layout designs. Cleverly organized into distinctive chapters, this book covers the basic elements of a layout: backgrounds, borders, mattes, titles, embellishments, journaling and more. These are elements of a scrapbook page that we all use, over and over again. If you feel your designs are lacking, or your techniques are becoming repetitive, put Decorate Life: Scrapbook at the top of your shopping list! The Making Memories designers that contributed designs to this book have taken these basic elements and used them in ways that aren't so obvious! Names you love to know, Mellette Berezoski, Erin Terrell, and many more designers contributed some of their best work yet. Just when you think you've seen every ribbon technique or title design, these Making Memories designs come and wow us once again.
Each page is a treat for the eyes – not only are the layouts spectacular, but the photography and presentation of the projects is captivating. This will be an idea book that stays in close reach of my project table at all times. These days, when I am looking for a little bit of inspiration, a clever way to place a button, or a captivating color scheme, this is the first place I look! Just when I think I've absorbed every bit of this book, I discover something new to inspire me. I guarantee this book will do the same for you!
