National Scrapbook Month Blog Hop

If you are coming from Tracey's Blog, you are headed in the right direction.  You can find a complete list of participants at Melinda's Blog by clicking here.

We are showcasing Close To My Heart's exclusive product line, special for National Scrapbooking Month!  CTMH released this Taste of Summer paper packet and stamp set.

The paper pack is just $8.95 for 12 sheets of duo-sided B&T.  $17.95 is the cost of the stamp set.

I made these fun cards incorporating both the stamp set and paper packet.  They were so fun and have been a big hit to all who have seen them!

Here are close-ups of the cards.  I am teaching these as a class later in the month.  You can contact me for details.

Let me know what you think of them and then head on over to Pam's Blog and check out her fun artwork!

Happy hoppin'!

Happy National Scrapbooking Day!

If you haven't already planned to spend the day scrapbooking away, hurry and cancel everything as today is National Scrapbooking Day! LOL  I am celebrating the day with 20+ scrapbookers at Crafty Creations Retreat in Mansfield, TX (in the Dallas-Fort Worth area)!  The day will be full of fun, goodies, and plenty of papercrafting goodness!

This is one of the goodie items made for my guests.  It is a little mini scrapbook made with the Taste of Summer paper packet and exclusive stamp set, available this month only!  (You can find more details about them by clicking here.)

The paper pack and stamp set coordinate perfectly and were fun for the front covers of these mini albums.  Inside of the mini album are Flip Flaps.  The dimensions for the front and back cover are two sheets of cardstock measuring 4 1/2" x 7 1/4".  I scored both pieces at 7/8" to create a nice seam so they can fold back easily, for inserting photos into the pages.

If you have any questions about these, please let me know.  They were super easy and fun to make.

If you are scrapbooking (or papercrafting) today, leave a message and let me know what you are creating!  I would love to hear from you!

Have an awesome day, scrapbookin' the day away!

Happy National Scrapbooking Month!

Happy National Scrapbooking Month!  Like I need a reason to scrapbook but a whole month of reasons provided for me?  I'll take it!  

Close To My Heart has outdone itself once again with an exclusive paper packet AND stamp set to coordinate, for May, and you will want to be sure to add both of them to your shopping cart!

The Taste of Summer stamp set (pictured above) is just $17.95 and coordinates perfectly with the exclusive paper pack, also called "Taste of Summer" (pictured below).

The paper pack comes with 2 sheets each of these beautiful 6 patterns for a total of 12 sheets of patterned paper - for just $8.95!  The front design has fruit and floral images and the back designs (as beautiful as the front) have some fun and bright patterns on them.  It is perfect for the summer season and will look great on your cards and layouts!  You can place your order through my website.  

Be sure to check back tomorrow when you will see a fun goodie item I created with both of them!

Here's to a fabulous month of scrappin' and whatever else you delight in!

Happy National Scrapbook Month!
