Scrapbooking Made Easy

Hello Friends!

I'm happy to be here and share my Scrapbooking/Memory making made easy! 

I don't know about you, but whenever I walk into one of the big craft stores and approach the scrapbook aisles I have not the slightest idea of what to purchase. Staring at all the endless choices becomes so overwhelming I just simply walk out of the store empty handed. I resolved to the fact that perhaps making a memory scrapbook just wasn't for me. 

Then wouldn't ya know it ... Stampin' UP!  and Project Life has come up with the perfect solution.

Let's get started:
(On Line Store Items are listed below)

You'll need an Album.

I chose the KRAFT 6" x 8" ALBUM
There are 3 different Albums to choose from.


This includes 12 pages with 5 different layout designs.


Choose a coordinating pack of Memory cards.
There are 72 cards per pack, printed on both sides.
 These cards are made to fit perfectly in the pockets of the pages, you don't even have to cut them! 
 There are currently 4 designer choices to choose from,

Let your creative imagination come to life in these pages of your own personal Memory Book. You'll love sharing it with your family and friends.  

I have gran-littles that love looking at pictures in an actual book, and not just on my phone or computer. It really makes the memories come to life for them, and for you.


This is my family. 
Top left is at Thanksgiving and bottom right is Papa and I with all our 6 Gran-littles on Christmas morning. 

There are endless creative possibilities to embellish your new scrapbook/memory book. I'm happy to share so much more with you. If you're interested in getting together with family and friends and hosting a workshop I'd love to meet up with you. 

There's no better time to start making those precious memories.

Hello

Welcome to The Paper Pail.

My name is Becka, and I am an independent Stampin' UP! Demonstrator.

My journey with Stampin' UP! began in November 2011. I hosted my first party through a fabulous demonstrator, which in time we also developed a wonderful lasting friendship. I fell in love with all the products immediately. I signed up to become a demonstrator so I could fuel my newly found passion of paper crafting. I stayed active for some time, but eventually didn't purchase enough to remain active. In 2012 I signed up again to become a demonstrator, at that time my goal was to become an active demonstrator, however I was still working full-time managing a GYN practice, and quickly realized I had over extended myself. Sadly, I became inactive once again.

Now I am fully retired, and over the past few months I have pondered becoming an active demonstrator... yes, I know...AGAIN! Let's just believe that the THIRD time is the charm.

I live on a small 3 acre farm in Northern California we built in 1998, that we call 'Girasole Farm' (Girasole is the Italian translation for sunflower).  I have horses, chickens, cats, and a dog. I enjoy vegetable gardening and flower gardening. We have a small fruit orchard of about 20 different varieties of fruits.

I've been married for 40 years to my teenage sweetheart, we have three grown wonderful daughters, and I am a Grammy to 6 gran-littles with another one on the way, due in February 2018. Our current littles score is Girls 5 & Boys 1.

My other passion is FABRIC! I have quilted and sewn for many years.
