Cats & Bats & Parties – OH MY!!!

WOOOHOOO!!! It’s September 1!!! That means a BRAND NEW Holiday Expression from CTMH!!! New specials, papers, accessories, stamps and a whole lot of GOODNESS!!!

I am kicking things off with my Cats & Bats Scrapbooking Workshop. Now, if you are anything like me, I truly do not have the need for 4 Halloween layouts every year. So, with this kit, I decided to make 1 layout for Halloween and the other 3 for parties, outdoors, and friends. The colors are fun, gender neutral, and super trendy.

I used our BRAND NEW Cricut Collection – You are Here. This cartridge is AWESOME and I am so excited for all the travel and every day images!

DANA’S SPECIAL: Order the You are Here Cricut Collection from me during the month of September & I will send you a FREE paper pack ($9.95) of your choice!

Summer is almost here – NO WORRIES!!!!!

Woohoo!!! Summertime is almost upon us! I am *so* ready for school to get out (June 14th for my kids and June 16th for the school that I sub at). It has just been gorgeous here in Michigan – lots of sunshine and warmth. I am looking forward to chillaxing! And, of course, catching up on my personal scrapbooking!

So – this latest kit, No Worries. MUST HAVE. MUST HAVE. MUST HAVE!!!!! I kept the layouts simple and fresh because summer is all about spending time *making* memories, not preserving them. Whether you are at the pool, at the beach, at the cottage, on vacation – this kit has something for you! If you don’t boat, leave off the boat accents. If you’re at the pool, don’t use the surf boards. So QUICK and EASY and VERSATILE! Trust me, you are going to want to have this kit for your memories! And – remember to use your flip flaps!!! They keep your pages clean and neat while allowing you to include ALL your favorite photos.

Get ready for a SUGAR RUSH! Brand New Scrapbook Workshop!

Happy 2017, everyone!!! I hope you are all well and warm and full of creative ideas for projects to tackle this year.

WHEW!! I have had a crazy hard time getting things in gear around here. However, I have FINALLY completed my work on the first of our NEW kits – Sugar Rush!

Sugar Rush is super fun kit. Now, I am not going to lie – Sugar Rush was my LEAST favorite kit in the new catalog. It appeared a little too sweet and young for my taste and photos. BUT, as so often happens, once I started to work with it – I LOVED IT!! I tried to make these layouts more gender nuetral and created themes like Baking (no baking pictures? GET ON IT!), Celebration (any kind), Sweets (ice cream, candy, SUGAR), and then Love You (Valentine’s, family, pet, friends).
