Our Story

For over 20 years, I’ve been passionate about memory keeping through scrapbooking, cardmaking, and paper crafting. What began as a personal creative outlet quickly blossomed into something much more—- a way to connect with others, share stories, and preserve life’s most cherished moments.

My journey began with South Shore Scrappers, where I spent 9 amazing years immersed in creativity and community. That experience inspired me to take the next step and create my own brand: Making Memories with Maureen.

Through this venture, I’ve had the joy of teaching classes, designing custom kits, and hosting everything from monthly meetups to full weekend retreats. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned crafter, I love helping others find joy in creativity and storytelling.

Let’s make something beautiful together—one memory at a time.

  • Owner

    I’ve been scrapbooking for over 20 years and running scrapbooking events and retreats for over 10. What started as a hobby has grown into a small business that I balance alongside my full-time finance career.

    I’m passionate about sharing the craft with others, whether through workshops or creative kits. My family plays a big role—my daughter and friends help with events and kit prep, while my husband handles logistics like moving my store and mailing products.

    I’m always open to new ideas, constantly learning and evolving from fellow crafters to keep my work fresh and exciting!

  • Hey, I am Maureen’s daughter, and yes, this is a true family affair! While I’m currently studying to be a vet tech, I’ve been immersed in the scrapbooking world my entire life—whether it’s been browsing craft stores or dabbling in card-making.

    Though my mom is the creative mastermind, I’m more of the behind-the-scenes helper, handling tasks that make it easier for her to focus on what she loves. I manage this website, so if you have any questions or comments, don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m here to help!
