Getting your family involved in your family albums is a sure way to create a legacy or preserve memories the way they should be preserved. It is an interesting change when you ask your children or husband what in particular they remember about an event. Usually it is a far cry from what you remember, or what was important to you. It is important to include all these different aspects in different pages. Lately, I have tried to ask my children’s opinions on what things they remember or what events were their favorites when I am creating a layout. This … Continue reading →
