Getting those photos out of your shoe boxes...

Hello MLS fans! Today we are sharing some tips for getting your photos organized and out of your shoe boxes! Now many of you probably no longer keep photos in shoe boxes but a few years back...Oh say about 20...most of us did in fact store our photos that way.

Helen Chu, My Little Shoebox's founder and creative director had a vision in mind of helping people get those photos and memorabilia out of the shoe boxes and into scrapbooks when she started MLS in the Spring of 2005. Here's a little bit about Helen's vision when she creates her collections:

My goal is to encourage people to take their precious photographs out of their "little shoe boxes" and turn their personal memories into creations that will endure for generations. The idea behind "My Little Shoebox" is to make scrapbooking simple, quick, uniquely personalized, and most importantly, beautiful.

Scrapbooking your photos with My Little Shoebox products can be all those things when your photos are organized. Here are a few tips for organizing your photos.

• Your first goal is to gather all of your photos into one place and then figure out how you want to organized them. It can be by year, holiday, family event or whatever makes sense to you. After all you are going be the one telling their stories when you create your layouts.
• Next go thru each of the groups you have separated and pick out the ones that are over exposed, blurry or you just don't like. Keep the photos that will tell the story of your events or memories the best.
• Then you can arrange those photos in photo boxes and use tabs to separate them in a way that works best for you.
• If you save them on your computer then same tips can be done but just use folders separate and group them into for later use.

Now you are ready to start creating layouts that tell the stories of your memories. Our design team has created some fabulous layouts that do just that. Let's have a look at what they have created with their shoebox memorabilia
