I always say that my poor kids will probably need therapy for the disservice I am doing in not scrapbooking. I know all the other Mom’s make these amazing journals and keepsakes. I know that my kids will have to bring in a circus animal for show and tell in order to compete with their friends. With all the money I am saving by not officially scrapbooking I will be able to afford their therapy sessions.
I have the photos, the albums and the creativity. What I don’t have is the time, energy or financial resources to buy all the cutters, grommets, mattes, embellishments, tools and papers needed to create the beautiful scrapbooks I dream about. Even if I had the boat loads of cash where would I store all the supplies and projects so that I could devote all of my spare time to bettering my kids memories of childhood? I doubt that I could handle the chaos that would happen if I even tried it, so my blog has been an attempt at a substitute for my lack of scrapbooking. That has changed.
I discovered a mother-owned, online digital scrapbooking service called How Fast They Grow that gives you templates and allows you to upload your photos, drag and drop them into the pages. You can even journal a story or paragraph and look like you are a professional. It is so easy. There are no more excuses. I was able to crank out a 12 page baby book for Charlotte during her nap time. The company prints the pages and ships them to you and they are ready to be placed in a standard 12×12 leather scrapbook. This site is totally user friendly and in my own defense, idiot proof. The adorable templates allow you to custom design your pages with minimal effort. You can select unique backgrounds or more whimsical patterned papers. The pages arrive on heavy card stock in about a week. The quality is spectacular and the circus animals are no longer in danger of being brought to school.
How Fast They Grow is offering Props & Pans readers a discount. When you visit their site use the code “TRIPLETS” to save 20% for the next three weeks. This makes each completed page only $6.00 and to me that is a bargain.
