Scrapbooking Road Trip Travel Albums

Here's me in 1979 with the Farrah hair and the parent's bright orange "WE ARE TOURISTS" van on Maui:

Introducing Creative Memories Gallivant Travel Collection -  inspired by a 70's travel theme - perfect for all your road trippin' memories...

The album features a stunning Cobalt Blue cover with foiled gold vintage compasses on the front cover. This album is available as a Coverset so you can choose to fill it with Pocket Pages, plain White, Natural or Black Refill Pages or a mix of both. (Page Protectors are included with every Refill pack).

My favorite option is the Fast2Fab Album because it has this beautiful Coverset but it comes with pre-decorated 12x12 Pages (Page Protectors are also always included).

Here's what the Fast2Fab pages look like:
(you can also flip through the pages on my website creativememories.com/user/donnalyn )

The Gallivant Collection also features a fun Paper Pack, Mat Pack, and Stickers and Embellishments with iconic and retro travel designs - perfect for enhancing any scrapbook page or for cardmaking.

For those of you who use Creative Memories Border Maker System, you may want to add the new Jet Border Maker Cartridge to your collection:

 I hope you like the "new" retro travel collection! 

Happy Scrappin',

Mrs Meyer's new Spring scents are here!

I just ordered some Spring scented cleaning products from Grove Collaborative and I wanted to share them with you too!  Grove Collaborative is one of my favorite mail order companies. I get to pick whatever cleaning products I need for the month (or skip a month - there is no commitment to order - you manage your own cart each month). The prices are below retail and because I signed up as a VIP, I get free shipping on every order!
I fell in love with the Mrs. Meyer's All-purpose Spray because it makes my home smell so good.  You can even get this cute cleaning caddy.

Currently I use the Lemon and the Basil scents but I just ordered the Spring Peony. 

I also like the Mrs. Meyer's Basil hand lotion. I keep it by my kitchen sink. (The hand soap is Trader Joe's lemon scent). If you want amazing ideas on how to pretty up your kitchen check out "at Home with Nikki" - you can find Nikki Boyd on Instagram @homewithNikki   She puts her soaps in glass dispensers but between our granite counters and hardwood floors, glass containers haven't worked well in our busy household. 

If you want to check out Grove Collaborative, my affiliate link will take you to their website (click on any photo above).

Happy Cleaning!

Decluttering tip: Digitize your Old Home Movies, Slides and Scrapbooks

Ahhh summer...when life pares down to the simple: flip flops and a towel.

Part of my decluttering mission this summer is to digitally transfer my outdated yet precious VHS home movies and slides.  Here is a decluttering tip:

\

This picture shows the comparison after I digitally transferred 3 old home movies onto DVD and Cloud storage. I went from taking 3-1/2 inches of space to just 3/4 inch (and no space at all in Cloud storage) - and this is just the beginning of my collection! 

I'm in the process of getting all my movies, slides & scrapbooks digitized onto DVD and Cloud storage!! I love how uncluttered it feels to throw out my bulky media storage. This is what I do for my clients too  - I help people digitize their media before it deteriorates. 

But more importantly, I love helping people celebrate the family connections made through reliving and sharing memories. We laugh so hard we cry when watching these old movies! My kids never knew their mom was so hip (thank you 80's) and that their grandma looked just like Angie Dickinson (thank you 70's). So many more gems to discover on this heritage hunt! I love my job as a Legacy Maker!  (I'll share a snippet pretty soon!)
