Under the Sea

Designs by Reminisce has a new line called "Under the Sea" and it is  great paper for snorkeling, Sea World or other water activity photos. Look for it in our new travel section!

Here's a peek at a few of the papers...

We also have some dimensional stickers (the saltwater fish) and a clear title (Soaked) shown below.

Come see all the new paper we have in our travel section!

Cherry Pie Collection from Webster's Pages

This new collection from Webster's Pages is just yummy! It's got an old-fashion look but it could be used for photos you just took yesterday. We've just had it in the store this week and customers can't seem to get enough of it.

Take a look...

Note: Images shown as front and back of each the 6 papers going from left to right.

More Summer Sale Items Arriving...

Our Summer Stimulus Sale is still going on. Paper and embellishments are selling quickly so we have had to keep adding more and more new items to the sale. Be sure to check each time you come in the store for bargains. Paper is available for a little as 25 cents per sheet.  Double-sided and heavyweight papers that reguarly sell for 99 cents per sheet are on sale for 50 cents per sheet.

We have "through the years" stickers that show what prices were for houses and milk and bread in years 1900 - 2008. It tells what movies and songs were at the top of the charts that year, who was president and other interesting facts. Those normally sell for $1.99 and are now on sale for $1.20. If you are working on a heritage album these are great! Another way to use them is on an "all about me" page for the year you were born. Or document what was going on in the world when your children were born.

We have adhesive at a great savings, too. The Hermafix rolling dot adhesive is regularly $11.99 but we are selling it at $5.50 this summer. The adhesive is still being manufactured, but the packaging has changed so we are clearing out these to make room for the new style of dispenser.

Take advantage of these great bargains this summer and scrapbook with these items!

4th of July Ideas for You

 

Can you believe that it's almost time for the 4th of July??? Next weekend we celebrate Independence Day with get-togethers, BBQ's and fireworks. Remember to capture those memories and record them in your family's scrapbook.

We have some great layout ideas for you to scraplift on display in the front of our store. The photo above shows one table of ideas.

This layout called "All American Girl" would be a great page to show the special relationship a little girl has with her dad.  Like the Carrie Underwood song says, "Now she's got him wrapped around her finger, she's the center of his whole world..."

 

This 4th of July page is layered with goodies to make it an outstanding layout. There are punched stars and photo corners, rhinestones, buttons, ribbon, ric-rac, tabs and 4 different papers used to make this page. The second photo shows some of the detail.

 

The 3rd layout shown is another layout with layered interest. The title comes from a strip on the back side of the paper used in the background of the layout. Navy blue stars were die cut and popped up on the layout. A white button with two polka dot ribbons  tied to the button were added to the stars for a little something extra.

 

The layouts and the product used to make these layouts are all together for your shopping convenience. With the 4th just around the corner, shop today for the best selection.

A Masculine Idea...

We really do want to scrapbook for our fellas but let's face it, there's a lot more "feminine" choices in paper, embellishments and stickers than there are for the guys. When we come across some great "manly" paper, we grab it.

Such was the case with this paper shown below. Now I know fishing is not just for men but I think this layout may be more geared to a trip with your guy. This page has a lot of layers to it and all the papers tend to be more masculine than most.

 

So, if you are looking for ideas for your guy, don't wait long. These are gonna "fly" out the door!

Discover - a Travel Album

We have another album that we have assembled for you and all you have to do is add photos and journaling. This is a travel album using some of the Teresa Collins die cut papers. The finished size of the album is 5 x 7. There are 17+ pages for you to add photos to and the last page is an envelope for you to include memoriablia. These little albums have been selling quickly so don't delay.

 

DoodleBug Paper and Summer - a Great Combination

DoodleBug Designs has some of the cutest paper for use with your summer photos. It is glittered and bright and adorable. Here are some of the projects we have on display in the store using this paper.

 

You will find the paper and these samples right at the front of the store. Look for them next time you are in the store!

Summer Ideas from Creative Imaginations

Robyn used paper, stickers, overlays and other embellishments from Creative Imaginations to make these gorgeous projects on this display. This group is one of our favorites here at the store. How about you?

 

This first layout uses some of the paper with foil highlights on the leaves. The foil adds just that little bit of elegance that makes this page interesting. She took a sticker (the VW bus), mounted it on chipboard and then sanded it to give it the distressed look. She also found some cardboard and ripped off one of the outside layers and used a strip of it as a border. She topped it off with ribbons and tulle. What a great page!

 

This page is an 8 x 8 creation for those of you who like to work with smaller albums - especially for an album about a single event. The layers and detail on this page are hard to totally appreciate in this photo. She used the same effect with the sticker on this one as she did on the first layout. She added a little twist giving this page dimension and texture by lacing jute through the split in two of the layers.

 

On this page, Robyn used an overlay to add to the detail of this page. The title and words on the overlay really make this page! On top of the overlay she layered flowers and swirls plus another sticker.

 

The final project on the table is this adorable "Bon Voyage" card.

 

Stop by to see this display and view the detail on all these projects!
