If you are like many people, you plug your digital camera into the computer, transfer your photos and delete them from the camera. You share a few on Facebook or by email… but do you back them up?
Backing up your photos and saving them in multiple locations (as in, physical buildings – not all in your home) is essential if you want to ensure you have your pictures for years to come. Lane Hill of Lasting Impressions, the makers of the Memory Mixer Digital Scrapbooking Software that I design for, got me thinking and taking action.
Here is a video showing you how to export your photos from iPhoto to jpegs, so you can burn them to DVD’s (CD’s only last about 5 years but DVDs have an average life of 60) and store them off site.
Here’s to the safe preservation of your memories!

P.S. Want to do more than have folders of jpegs lying around? Check out Memory Mixer Software – it makes scrapbooking quick and easy – it will change how you think about scrapbooking!
P.P.S. Have the software and want to see the designs I have currently have available? (I hope you do!) CLICK HERE

Hi Tara,
I noticed some prints with black and reds that were fresh and alive a couple of years ago. Now that I’ve seen your blog and figured out that these are your artwork I want to let you know that your licensed art is wonderful. Also the fact that you share your story is so generous to those of us just starting to break into licensing. Thank you Tara! Mary Lou LaBerge
