If you are unfamiliar with the Simple Stories system, take a look here. Simple Stories is a quick, easy and innovative way to get your photos scrapbooked without stress...and still have your scrapbooks look spectacular, regardless of your skill level!
The Simple Stories lines are also GREAT for traditional scrapbook pages as well...in fact, I combine the two strategies in my scrapbooks.Here are a couple of cards made from ele.ment.ary elements:
(the following card is what I call a "lunchbox mini"...using the same basic design as the above card)
Here is a traditional, non-school-themed layout using the ele.ment.ary elements and paper:
The following layouts are pages that will go in my daughter's K-12 school album. I plan on purchasing an album, ele.ment.ary kit and divided page protectors for each of my children and pre-making their school albums. As the years go by, I can just slip in the appropriate pictures - the work will already be done! For once I'll have a set of albums that I'm not BEHIND on! :)My plan is to have a "summary" page in the front of each album highlighting wallet-sized pictures from each grade K-12:
Then each grade will have a "title page" with a large school photo on the front:
Behind each of these, will be the divided page protectors - one set for each grade. All I have to do is slip important pictures in the slots, perhaps with a journaling card or two...and I'm done! Couldn't be easier! You can check out some of the layouts I created with the first Simple Stories system (Life Documented) in the divided page protectors HERE (scroll down a bit - they're towards the bottom of the post).I hope after checking out all these blogs today, that you'll be inspired to check out the Simple Stories system for yourself! You won't be disappointed! If you're interested in more information about the Simple Stories line, or wish to purchase it yourself...those who already know me can order on my website or you can find your local MemoryWorks consultant HERE.

2020 Really! I remember when they were talking about the class of 2000. Mad does time fly. Great job on the layouts. I love the one that you can use to highlight all the school pictures. It is fun to see how they grow over the years on one page.
Great Job.

Sandy you have always been one of my favorite MW designers, I love your work! Your ele.ment.ary designs, from the cards to the layouts are awesome! And I love how easy they will be for me to scraplift!!!! hehe
Totally need to do the same thing you are and create one themed album for each of my kids and also grandsons now...love that we can count on MW still being around for years to come and know that we can still purchase more supplies, as that is something with other companies that is disappointing, when you find a line you will need for years and sadly they no longer have them (at least I hope we will be able to still purchase the Simple Stories kits for years to come, hint, hint Kevin and Amber lol).
Thanks for the ideas and inspiration!
