Even though I am scrapbooking months ago, I remember what stories I want to tell because I use the momento app for iPhone. The app pulls my Facebook status (it can also pull from twitter, instagram, flicker, and more) updates and allows me to input information. I always use the app to keep track of quotes from S. Then when it’s time to scrapbook a particular week, I scroll through the app (which keeps my memories in chronological order) and see what I wanted to remember about the week.
Here is a closer look at the two sides:
During the week, we visited the zoo. Since I had too many photos from the trip I added an insert page for this week.
While the wood veneer would have worked on my layout, I decided to use water colors over the top of the wood veneer to match my page in color.
I took video of S petting the snake, so I ended up making screen prints so that I had two photos to add to my layout. However, I want the videos to be included in my scrapbook too, so I made QR codes of the YouTube videos. For directions on how to make QR codes you can see my post here.

I’ve never used the momento app. I need to check that one out. What a great way to remember all the cute things kids say.
I love that I am able to open it up to enter info, usually quotes and it records date/time. Also can link your social media too.
I need to do better about scrap booking and documenting our lives. This seems like a great way to do it.
Project Life or divided page protectors does make it easier!
I’m going to have to check out this app. You made some cute things
I had no clue about the app, thanks for the tip! I keep looking at Project Life, have been for years, and just keep putting off doing it bc I’m afraid I’ll buy it and it’ll sit in the box forever! Your pages are beautiful!
Thank you Michelle! I consider scrapbooking therapy and my daughter loves to create her own “pages” so it’s time we can spend together too.
You made some lovely things there. Great work 🙂 I haven’t gotten into scrap booking. I’m not crafty at all lol.
Thank you Julie!
I wonder if this app is also on Android? Beautiful photos Paris! S will really enjoy all the memories when she grows up.
Sorry Louida, I just checked their website and they have not launched an android version.
My husband introduced me to Momento a couple of days back and it’s so much fun to use 🙂
We have been using it for pictures and that’s it. I should try it for Facebook and Twitter data as well. Should be interesting.
Thank you for sharing this. The pages look wonderful.
