K&Co Cut & Paste (and more Valentine)

The Cut & Paste line was my favorite of the new lines! Please excuse the rather flat, dull look of these cards. I was working with mockups, and the "real thing" papers, stickers, and embellishments are much richer and textured. Those numbers on the second card will be brads - I can think of all kinds of uses for those. I can't wait to get the real stuff!

K&Company Valentine sneaks

I found a few photos online of K&Company's new releases, so I thought it would be okay to show you a few things I made for the show. This Valentine line was so fun! Once I got started, I couldn't stop. Pink, pink, and more pink!

love, love this!

KI Bloom! I've always loved KI. You just can't beat it for all-around versatility and fun. I've got a stash dating back to the very first KI release ;) But, I don't hoard it, no way - I LOVE scrapbooking with it! I love that it is double-sided, and on most of these pics, I prefer the side not shown as much. Very subtle patterns, and PERFECT colors for me.

See more of it and shop here at my favorite online store - Scrapsupply.com. www.scrapsupply.com/shopping/index.php?mainpage=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword= KI+Bloom

Now, what could they have up their sleeves for the upcoming summer release?! Can't wait to see!

it's that time of year

When all the scrapbooking companies give us peeks of their fall releases :D Since I won't be at the show, I eagerly await these glimpses of new stuff.
Scenic Route has a birthday line called Surprise, pictured above. But, it's just a mini line, and I can't wait for the 2 big lines!

Looking back

As I was looking thru some older layouts this week, I ran up on this one. I created this in July of 2005, and it was part of my Memory Makers Masters contest entry. Time is going so fast....and can you guess my favorite part of this layout? These were some of my favorite KI papers (love their stuff), and I loved the photos of my soon-to-be school girl, but my favorite part of the layout is the journaling. I'm so glad I put all this info about her 5th summer on a page in her album. Do you do summary pages like this? If not, I can recommend it :D

A little more summer fun

So, I've been on a bit of a scrappy break since finishing up my first book, "Playing With Paper". But, who can resist this new K&Co Amy Butler product?!! And in a couple weeks, I'll be able to show you a few layouts (I know, it's been a while since I shared layouts, huh?) I can't spoil the surprise, but I will say I played with products from one of my favorite manufacturers. Can you guess who?

And, July brings the beginning of another big project for me. I'll begin working on my second book with F&W Publishing. I'll be co-authoring this time with Greta Hammond, and I'm really excited about it!! A little less work than doing it alone (thank goodness!), and we've got some really great ideas up our sleeves. More details about it later :D

Thanks to everyone that has requested to be on my advance kit info email list!! I hope to have something to share very soon.
Hope your summer is going well!
