You could create a Christmas memories book in so many ways, but I was excited to discover a couple of resources that are helping me create this new tradition and beautiful keepsake.

First of all, we took some fun pictures around our Christmas tree. I simply propped up my tripod, set my camera timer and hoped for the best! I don’t know if it is because my kids are getting older, but I was so pleased with how smoothly it went. We had just a few silly shenanigans.

Then I quickly designed some Christmas cards from the best holiday cards section of Basic Invite.

[{"selector":"#anim-c6448cb6-c85d-4524-bb4a-104eec35030d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":1000,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a36caf4d-de78-45ca-a445-f0ccdd6bdc22","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 616.24751%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":1000,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

Then I noticed you could print and buy samples! This is where I got really excited. I wanted to create a beautiful card with each kids pictures for their own keepsake book.

So I searched their merry xmas cards and found a good collage layout, and changed the colors and elements to coordinate with each of their outfits.
