Heidi Grace Journaling Prompts....

So we've had these journaling prompts (that's what they're called) in for a while... but my goodness they are stinken cute. There are some journaling sport, some cute embellies and some great tags and circles.

We have them in about 5 different colors. My favorite is the family set in the primary-ish colors, with cute trees and birds... you have to see all of them to really appreciate that you get 99 pieces for such a great price.... They're waiting for you to purchase them right behind the counter at the store...

PRIMA!

Ok.... don't hate me for being late... i was in Nashville/Franklin, Tennessee for a couple of days and am trying to get caught up on things... I had an AMAZING trip with my sister and met some great people... (it was a for a scrapbooking thing)

While i was in Tennessee, I had a the awesome chance to play with PRIMA flowers.... I don't normally put flowers on my layouts... heck... i can't even remember when I last bought some primas... but the flowers that they have out now are totally fun.... I used it at the bottom of a layout and layered layered layered them up... added some bling and ta-da.... loving the result of all the flowers....

Next time you're in... check them and the new leaves out... totally fun!

doodlebug... definite must have!

So,  if you've been in to the store lately, I'm sure you've seen the front display of the fantastic doodlebug... now I'm not usually a doodlebug fan, but their latest line of the papers is absolutely wonderful. They have papers in ever color, most of those have quite a few patterns, as well as some stinken cute flocked paper. I recently got to make a design team project with this line and fell in love.... i want ever color of it... it's just so versatile and you can use it all and not get overwhelmed by it.

Next time you're in the store take a peek and pick up a couple of sheets... It is going quickly... i know in less then 2 weeks we sold out of several of them and Jennifer has placed another order to get them back in stock...

This doodlebug paper is a definite must have for you scrapbook supply collection... so basic and so fun!

Vacations galore!

Hi there... sorry I'm late in posting for the week. I was returning from my trip to Las Vegas... (which was really fun and if your going, the Beatles Love show is a must!)

As summer gets closer, we'll all be traveling a lot (gas prices permitting *argh*)... I just got back from Las Vegas, next month I'll be traveling to Nashville and then in July I'll be headed to Orlando.

I was looking through the store... our exploding travel section totally caught my eye... especially all the Vegas stuff, as I"ll be completing an album with that soon... You should see all the cool state and country products we just got in... For sure to make a great addition to your travel scrapbook this summer!

Happy Scrappin from the weary traveler...

Mini Albums...

Ok so... did you thank those teachers in your kids' life? I hope so... (off my soap box now)....

My new favorite is making mini albums. I was so in the mind set that i have to make 12x12 pages and it can't be anything else. But after starting at the store, I started making mini albums of special events or events that needed to be showcased. Most of them sit in a basket in my living room. It's a great way to showcase them.

This album I made with some die cuts from the die cut center (also I used some Autumn Leaves pp and love,elsie textured cardstock). I have scalloped covers and then inside pages are different dies that include scalloped circles and squares....

So a challenge for you... create a mini album. Find pictures that are your favorites (like tamara is doing for her mini class next week), or like i did... fun signs in my world... Have fun with it... oh yeah... it's a great way to use up your scraps!

Have fun and happy scrappin',

Making Memories 5th Ave....Elizabeth

ok.... i know i've posted about Making Memories before... but my gosh... this stuff is stinken cute! I used the entire 5th Ave. - elizabeth line for a mini album and a couple of layouts...

Now i'm not usually a fan of making memories... but how could you not love the fun patterned papers... great embellies and all the yummy-ness that goes with it.

We have both of the 5th Ave. lines so when you're in next... swing by the Making Memories section to see them.... Nancy Belvin... PIC extraordinaire and dt member used the Sophia line on some great layouts in the store as well!

Hope you have a great day... and don't forget to thank a teacher! (it's national teacher appreciation day, you know!)
