Dear Friend,

Ask yourself this. If a fire or flood threatened your home, which physical possession you would most want to save? If you’re like most people, then your answer would come quickly and emphatically -- You consider your photographs to be the most important things that you own.

And yet, how are you treating these absolute treasures? What are you doing to protect your most prized possessions – your priceless photographs and memories?

Again, if you’re like most people, then you’re answer is most likely, “very little.” Worse than that though, you probably fall into the large majority of people that are actually causing damage to these very items that they hold most dear!

Ask yourself these questions:

• Do you have boxes or containers full of photos that are a jumbled mess?
  
• Do you store your photographs and memorabilia in manila envelopes, shoeboxes or drawers?
  
• Do you store your photographs and albums in the basement, attic or garage?
  
• Do you write on the backs of your photographs with a ballpoint pen or permanent marker?
• Do you store your photographs in their original photo developing envelopes?
  

If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, then you are risking the loss of your greatest treasure! The damage may not be as swift or as drastic as the unthinkable fire or flood, but the end result is the same.

And we’ve only scratched the surface on the hazards that you may be subjecting your photos to everyday. Please don’t relegate your precious photographs to some acid-filled shoe box where they will suffer great damage slowly and silently.

Are you going to take action to be sure that your most prized possessions will be cherished for years to come? Or are you going to take your chances and “hope” that your precious photographs beat the odds?

If you are serious about ensuring the safety of your photographs and memories, then keep on reading. With our help, you’ll...

Wouldn’t you love to have the peace of mind of knowing that your precious photographs are safe? Wouldn’t you be proud to know that you’ve preserved your family’s memories for your loved ones to cherish?

With the art of scrapbooking, you can safely showcase your precious photos and memorabilia in albums that will last for generations. You can choose your own level of involvement, and if you like, you can embellish your album with stickers, artwork, and journaling.

Scrapbooking is taking America and the world by storm, and with good reason.

If you'd like to explore scrapbooking, then we can help. After sharing scrapbooking with hundreds of people through our local studio, we have created:

Treasure Your Memories™ A Complete Guide to Scrapbooking This 70-minute Beta Cam quality video guides beginning scrapbookers through the entire process of preserving photographs and memorabilia. With "Treasure Your Memories™" your process of learning to scrapbook will be simple, sentimental, and fun!

Now before we go much further, we need to clear up a few myths about scrapbooking.

Myth:
If you want to scrapbook, then you need to be creative.

Truth:
Scrapbooking can be a very creative activity, but scrapbooking does not require creativity. You can choose the level of involvement that is right for you. The bottom line is that you need to protect your photographs from harm, and get them arranged in such a way that you and your loved ones can enjoy them.

Myth:
Scrapbooking takes too much time.

Truth:
Scrapbooking can take a lot of time, if you let it. We do feel compelled to warn you; scrapbooking can be addicting, and you may find yourself wanting to spend a lot of time on it. In actuality though, you can create beautiful but simple pages in reasonable amounts of time. With Treasure Your Memories™, you’ll learn the secrets to getting organized so that you can manage the flow of scrapbooking.

The bottom line is that scrapbooking is more than stickers and decorations. The very essence of scrapbooking is the ability to preserve your precious photographs and record your family stories. Regardless of how you feel about getting “artsy”, I’m sure that you will agree that learning how to protect your photos and memories is simply invaluable.

"Instructors Christine Sutton and Tracey DuBois offer great tips and helpful insight. The video offers eight entertaining lessons and contains all the basics for learning how to scrapbook, including how to safeguard your photos, choosing supplies that match your level of interest, getting organized, creating successful pages, and more." Arts and Crafts Magazine

What qualifies us to help you preserve your family’s precious photographs and memories? To start, we’ve spent over six years in the scrapbooking industry. As owners of a local scrapbooking studio, we’ve introduced hundreds of people to the art of scrapbooking. In addition we’ve offered a host of scrapbooking classes in adult ed programs, child care conferences and through Camp Sunshine’s retreat program for families of children with life threatening illnesses. Not only have we spent countless hours researching existing scrapbooking products, but we’ve gone much further than that. When we couldn’t find the solutions that our customers needed, we set out to create our own solutions! As a result we have invented an entire line of products to help people organize and protect their photographs, negatives and memories.

Just to name a few, we have contributed to or been featured by dozens of media outlets, websites, and organizations such as:
