Scrapbooking and memory keeping has changed my family. It's been huge for my kids that have past trauma and attachment issues. I wanted to find a way so that everyone could scrapbook, not just us, the ones with programs. So I devised a system that uses Free Adobe Acrobat. It's simple, but it might be hard for those that aren't as computer savvy. It probably wouldn't really be helpful to any of you since you are already amazing scrapbookers, but I'm looking for about 10 people who would be interested in trying out the new system and posting the pages to their social media. If you are willing to do it, and think you can post 5 different layouts or activities, you can have $50 gift certificate to my store, which has digital scrapbooking stuff.
The new way of scrapbooking is found here: https://connectionkeeping.com/memory-keeping/easy-editable-pre-made-pdfs/
(see what you think about it, if you think you'd be interested in taking the time to try out the different products - I would send them all to you for free).
Here is my store so you could see what you could get to use for your scrapbooking: https://connectionkeeping.com/shop/
Here are some of the activity pages I've made: https://connectionkeeping.com/adventures/
https://connectionkeeping.com/printable-connecting-resources/
(The goal is to provide intentional activities and ways to record the memories of them to bring connection between parents and kids).
If you are a foster or adoptive parent I would love to talk with you. I'm trying to make free resources for adoptive families including a lifebook and a welcome to your home book. The goal is to encourage parents to also become memory keepers for their kids, especially those that don't have a record of all of their memories. The secret goal is for everyone to then switch to real deal digital scrapbooking

What a wonderful idea, Kelly. Very altruistic of you. The website seems very interesting. If and when I might go back to selling my kits, I will give it a try.
Thank you for this information.
Happy Holidays!
I love the idea of having various ways to scrapbook! Not only am I looking for new easier ways, to complete all those old layouts (I've yet to do), but I'm also looking for ways to make albums for: school years, family history/genealogy, a modern/digital baby album, my own childhood memories and a book with all the memories I've made with my stepsons. Basically have everything documented for my son to have when he's eighteen (his brothers are 13+ yrs older than he is). This is my goal for 2022.
Hi Katherine,
I hear you. There is 9 years between my oldest and youngest and I did so much for the oldest! Would you be interested in being one of the people to try it out and use it and give me feed back. I'm in the process of working on a baby book in this style, but it's a bit on the back burner. Thank you so much for your comment!

I might, but it depends. Is there a deadline to post by? Is there a specific social media platform you prefer (or one you don't want)? That sort of thing. I currently only have a public Pinterest account, but I'm willing to make some adjustments.
Hi Katherine,
No deadlines, no pressure. Let me know if you would ever like to try it out.
