Simple to Make Photo Memories for Birthdays

I finally found a way to scrapbook easily… by making photo memories every birthday!

Henry turned 5 this week and we had a super fun, but very low-key (still a little crazy!), Monster Truck birthday party.

When Nothing if Not Intentional shared how to make memory photos using Picasa, I knew I’d have to do them each year at the boys’ birthdays.

I created one from Henry’s party to remember the important likes he has this year. (I used Photoshop (affiliate link) because that’s what I know, Picasa is a free download that I use for minor editing for photos.)

Nothing if Not Intentional has the tutorial to learn how to make one yourself to remember the important stuff each year.

It’s perfect for those months that fly by the first year. She captured the memories quick and easily. Super cute!

This is my kind of scrapbooking! Capturing the memories with photos, and all the details with text. Easy!

Happy 5th birthday Henry!

I have found it impossible to Google ideas from a million different sites, get organized, shop for supplies, etc. This is exactly what I have been searching for! Thanks for making something so organized and easy to use. - Early Years Activity Plans User, Melissa C.

This takes down the need to scour the internet for ideas. It's like looking for a recipe on the internet, so many options that often times it is less overwhelming to look in a book on the shelf than stress about too many options. - Early Years Activity Plans User, Robyn G

Thank you so much for these activities. They have proven to me that I CAN be that mom that does cool and creative things with her kids! And those cool and creative things can actually be quite simple! What a revelation. Thank you!! - 7 Day Challenge, Katie M.

It is hard to think of things to keep the 3 year old entertained and engaged while taking care of the baby. Everything we have tried so far from your website, the three year old has loved. Your ideas are so simple and he can do them for hours. HEAVEN! - Karen I.
