GREAT COLORS FOR BACK TO SCHOOL!!!

I have become a devoted follower of Jeanette Lynton's blog. It is elegant and a GREAT source of usable inspiration for me. She always features a "Color Me Monday" post and this one really inspired me. She used Black, Olive, Cranberry and Honey and it really does say "back to school" to me!! Check out her great artwork with these colors at the link below.
Send me a picture of anything that you do with these colors either by email or through a comment/link here on my blog by September 15th to win a cute little package of goodies!!!

Oh!!! Oh!!! Oh!!!! It's Magic!!!

Sorry I didn't get this out on Sunday as promised but got home late - not that it matters...I sometimes wonder if anyone actually reads this anyways!!!

But - on to the 'reveal' - it is a new idea book - just like Cherish or Imagine but it is for INTERACTIVE PAGES!!!! Very cool!!! It is called Magic and you know that the artwork and ideas are top notch - as all of our idea books are!! It also comes with a CD - makes the design SOOO much easier!!! I am totally getting this!!! I know with the idea books that I currently have, I can use the designs over and over again and they always seem fresh to me.

Can't wait to get it!!! Stay tuned over the next couple days for more on our new items!!!

The new catalogue

You are going to LOVE it!!! It will be LIVE September 1 but over the next three weeks I will pick a few of the new products to share with you.

The product that I am going to highlight today is the NEW COLORS!!! They are all part of the Summer Collections. Joining the summer carnival collection is GYPSY, PACIFICA and SUNSET. GYPSY is a sassy purple that works very well as a Halloween color. PACIFICA is a beautiful, peaceful blue and SUNSET gives you an instant warm, fall-feeling but it is also a versatile color for summer photos. New for the summer celebration collection are COTTON CANDY, a sweet muted pink. You'll see it working well as a non-traditional Christmas color as well as a great Valentines day or baby girl color. LAGOON is a luscious green-blue color. SKY brings to mind a wintery feel but I can also see it working well with beach, lake and ocean pictures. SMOOTHIE is a fun peachy-red color that surprisingly works equally well as an autumn color and a traditional Christmas color. And my favorite new color has to be PEAR, a bright, brilliant green. When you see the new catalogue you find PEAR paired up with everything from goldrush to sunny yellow and gypsy!!!

Stay tuned for more highlights coming up on Sunday!

July Layout

Hi there! See what one can accomplish when two out of three kids are away?!?!?! Here are the layouts for July. Don't you just love the cherries?!?!Very summery, I think! The purple/green and yellow one is all handmade paper - stamping and distressing - I found it very theraputic!! The titles are up to you - these ones are just suggestions. Stay tuned for August's - I hope to have them posted before the end of the week.
Register soon to save yourself a spot!

New Layout Club Sketches - May and June

So sorry that this is so late! I am woking on July and August and we'll meet on August 11 th to complete them all - that will be a big night - we'll have 8 layouts to complete but I will try to do the majority of the cutting ahead of time. If you have ideas for your titles, let me know ahead of time and I can cut/stamp them for you. Hope you like them!

Tip of the Day...

I have to admit that I think I read about this - I didn't dream it up myself but I tried it and it works like a dream! I love our CTMH My Stickease Stickers and spend alot of time adhering them to cardstock to turn them into die cuts - I love to add 3D foam to them! So I took baby powder and sprinkled it on the sticky part and voila! I have a die cut!!! And my scrap room smells great too!! Try it!! I think that I am going to be using alot more of my stickers now!!!
