Well my CM Open House is just right around the corner. I've been working hard on getting samples of a lot of the new product so people can see what can be done with them. My Open House is Friday, August 29th from 4:30-7:30 stop by & make a tag make-n-take, see the new product, & enter in a chance to win the door prize. Make a purchase & receive a free gift. I will have some CM products cut down by 50% for sale. If you order out of the catalog you will save 10% at my open house! I hope to see you all there!Below is the new CM 18x18 Black Keepsake Display. You decorate the outside that comes with 6 magnets & on the inside it has a french bulletin board with a ribbon grid that can hold photos, keepsakes & much more. Plus on the other side there is a deeper box that features hooks for keys, a removable ledge & a double elsastic strap to hold memorabilla in place. You can do so many things with this. Weddings, baby, retirement, graduation, etc. I actually did this one on my daughters dance. I feel like redecorating my daughters room now to go with the Black Keepsake Display!
The below page is used with the CM Primary Halloween Additions kit. I have a lot of Halloween photos left from previous years that I got done with this kit.
Each Christmas I have enough photos to do multiple books. Below I used the CM Primary Christmas kit. I used a lot of small photo's so I don't have to do as many pages or with my extra photos I can put them in the PicFolio Max Album.
Another winter/Chrismas page. On this one I used Jewel Christmas Kit. I love the Jewel Palette, it makes a page look great & it doesn't take much skill!
I have one more page to do with the Autumn Primary Additions kit, however I ran out of ink in my photo printer! Ahhh, I have to go get some more!
This is my page on my youngest daughter Aubrey. She is as pale as I am so we had to really watch her in Florida. Products Used: Bazzill cardstock, KI Blook PP, Creative Memories Romance tone-on-tone PP, Creative Memories cardstock, Doodlebug Design boutique brads, KI Softies accents, AC Thickers.
Is anyone getting tired of Florida pages yet? Well, I am not near done so you guys are going to see the whole album little by little. The below page is called Relax'n. My daughter Aubrey did not know what to think of Florida. She had a heck of a time adjusting swimming all day (which she still hasn't decided if she likes) & running around non-stop. We did give her a nap each day & on this day she was just so happy to be laying in bed watching Sponge Bob. The scalloped paper is Making Memories & the card stock is Bazzill. All the strips of paper are just scraps I am trying to use up. The Journaling box is Creative Memories MOD.
This is a "lovely" photo of us at the beach. My swimsuit was too big since I just bought it last year I refused to buy a new one. Aaron didn't want it in the scrapbook, but I said we have to have it in the scrapbook!! So here we are! I used my new Stampology journaling stamps I love!
1st Ocean. I love this page, I can't believe that my girls were only 3 & 1 when they first got to see the Ocean. I was 20 before I got to see it & my dad was 40! Products used: October Afternoon Detours Dirtroads PP, CM Milestones Playful Journaling box, KI Memories Tattoos, Making Memories Puffy Alphas, KI Hip Chipboard.
Good memories of the Hole! Products used: KI Memories Dandelions & Flyaway PP, Making Memories Puffy Alpha, KI Hip Chipboard.
I did not get a chance to write all the products down on this one, but I think it will always remain one of my favorites! My girls flying for the first time! (Also, Aaron's first time)
This is the Purple Paisly Paper Album by Creative Memories. My favorite color is purple so it is understandable that I use this as a mini album of my favorites!
This is just a Crystal Light container made into a pen holder. I am going to take it to all of my CM Parties that way I can keep track of the pens. I used CM Jewel 8x8 paper & Essentials 4 flower.
This layout is also for the Scrapaganza sketch challenge. They provide their sketch & I completed my page. I was bad on this one & did not write down all the products I used. I know K & Company Spinners, American Crafts Thickers (that Jennifer JUST brought me), & Bazzil cardstock. Oh, I also used the new Creative Memories tag punch, see the hidden journaling!
This one I had a hard time taking a photo w/o the flash, it kept reflecting on the page. This one is a page of the guys out on the water. Products used: Creative Memories Jumbo Great Lenths MOD titles, Creative Memories Tropical Garden stickers, CTMH Just Chillin my stickese, Just Corina clearly fun shapes, Fancy Pants Sweet Spring Abbi Patterned Paper (pp), Bazill cardstock, & of course American Crafts Thickers
I have a feeling what colors my Florida scrapbook is going be using! LOL, I see a lot of blue already! I love this photo & the walking away photo too! Also, notice I used flowers on a guys page! It can be done! Products used: Just Corina Dude Pow PP, K & Company Phapsody Chipboard Spinners & arrows, Cloud 9 Design Sorbet Villa Thought Stickers, Sassafras In a Stitch Green Blossoms.
