Memory Keeping with Cards | Fluttering Garden Paper Pumpkin

Who said cardmakers can't do memory keeping layouts? 

Today I am sharing a fun and easy way to use your completed cards in your albums. Both as a display of beauty as much as a journaling place. 

A couple of years ago I lead an online memory keeping club named with cardmakers and I have two beautiful albums to testify of His goodness!

I am considering opening it once more. Praying for the right time.

BASE:  BASIC WHITE 12" X 12"

LAYER 1: 11 3/4" X 11 3/4" NATURE WALK DSP

Mother's Day photos.

 I want to be INTENTIONAL in my memory keeping and remember what is good and lead my heart toward gratitude instead of regret. My Mom moved to heaven about 2 years ago. I know I miss her, even MORE than usual on Mother's Day. Still, I want to fix my eyes on the Lord and give thanks for the moments we lived together and for the ones I know live with my own children.

This week I made this two-page layout using cards I made with the March 2026 Paper Pumpkin Kit Fluttering Garden to embellish and journal into. It is the perfect hiding spot. 

Hope to inspire you to create with what you have at hand. Thanks for visiting my blog and staying in touch.

SIMPLICITY

I long for the simple things.

This card is simple.

Life at times feels so complicated. STILL there is the invitation from our Savior to simplicity.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30

Don’t be led astray from the simplicity of the gospel. (1 Cor. 11:3)

FRIDAY FUN & FOLDS #3 | 1-1/4" FLAP CARD FOLD

Basic Beige 1-1/4" Flap Card Fold

Today is a good day to spotlight some cards I have received from friends lately. So many of you send me beautiful cards that inspire me to create and even make videos from. 

THANK YOU for thinking of me and loving me in my love language: CARDS!

Card made by Rita Childs with Friendly Foliage Bundle

I received these beautiful cards from Alice R. & Rita C. 

So beautiful and worthy to be CASED (Copy All Share Everything)

My Friday Fun and Folds video tutorial today makes two of these. I encourage you to give them a try with whatever you have at hand. You will need staple materials as cardstock, pretty papers, some labels and sentiments and maybeee an embossing or specialty paper.

One of the things I loved about these two cards is the Basic Beige subtle tone. It makes both cards extremely elegant. Is a one color palette that caught my eye and my heart. Thanks Alice & Rita for your inspiring me. 

Made by Alice Rogers with the Eyelet 3D embossing folder
