Anything Goes and Beautiful Botanicals

 Back in 2013, I went to the inaugural Creative Adventure Downunder and fell in love with the new way of memory keeping taught by Heidi Swapp - memory files. You could pack a lot of photos in one memory file album. My love for them was rekindled recently when an Australian memory file artist shared some of her memory files online. I got hooked all over again and pulled out some supplies to make one after many years.  Because the challenge at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is Beautiful Boutanicals I made sure to pull out some lovely botanical prints to use. Once it was completed I came across some photos of my dog so I decided to dedicate it to him. Once the theme was set, I changed some of the circles on the front of the file into paw prints. You’ll have to look really hard to see them. 








The Kaisercraft paper pad I had was single-sided which doesn’t really work as well for the hand made photo flip, so I turned the pages over and sprayed the plain white side with some coordiating Heidi Swapp colourshine.
