"Every mother loves pictures of her children and a memory book would make a perfect gift for her. I'm Janet Casto your Independent Demonstrator with Stampin' Up and I'm going to show you three different memory books that you could take and use the ideas for your mom because every mom is a little bit different. This first one using designer series paper and envelopes all I've done is accordion fold the middle, decorated my envelopes and place them inside. There's plenty of room to add fit pictures of you and your mom. There's plenty of room to do some journaling and you can pick the paper that she would like. You can also make a cover that said mom or memories or whatever you like there. So, that's one memory book. The second memory book that I like for my mom is a quick and easy one that you could do and this one says memories right on the front. We've done that with a stamp and then when you open it up, there's two fold outs. So, here's a good place to put little pictures, pictures of the whole family, pictures of your brothers and sisters everybody that your mom want to see. So, again picking the paper she would like. This would make a nice memory book for your mom. The third memory book that I want to show you is really a fun one. This is called a star book and as you see when you open it up, it forms the shape of the star from the top and what you do again picking the paper and the color scheme for your mom. This is our trip that we went on so I'm going to tell my mom all about it and she'll be able to see what we did when we were away and there's a little bit of journaling and everything in there. Every mom loves memory books. I'm Janet Casto you Independent Demonstrator with Stampin" Up. I hope you get to make one for your mom today."
