Sunday Scrappin: Round

Sunday Scrappin':  "This week, let's think outside the box and go round.... rounded corners, circle-shaped cards, a layout in a circular pattern, etc. Be creative!"

 I've been digiscrapping like crazy these past few weeks with StoryBook Creator Plus.  For this week's challenge, I used the Family Digital Kit and made a couple pages with some circles on them:

(Simon with another cousin)

Tah-Dah's:

• Doing these layouts!

To-do's:

• I have two Get Togethers this week, so I have to make sure I'm ready for those.
• Put the actual scrapbook pages into the coverset I bought for the Maine album
• "                                                                       " I bought for the Disney album

My kids have passed the flu down the line and the youngest has it now.  Hopefully, Jamie and I won't get it.  Crossing my fingers and toes...

Quick Kits: You can complete an album in one sitting

What if I told you you could complete an entire album in one sitting? I bet you'd laugh at me. But it's true! With the PicFolio Quick Kits, you can get those pictures into an album without the stress. This is one of the things I like most about Creative Memories: our products are designed to help you create beautiful keepsake albums quickly.

The pages in PicFolio Quick Kits come predesigned, so all you have to do is add your pictures and stories, then slide the pages into the album.

In the 8x8 Quick Kits, you get:

• 8x8 PicFolio™ Album with 24 Story Sleeve pages
• 24 decorative pages
• 1 sheet of title stickers
• 3 sheets of die cuts with ready-to-stick foam tabs that add dimension

 You can find all of the different Quick Kits, including the Pet Kit that I have pictured, at my personal website. There are several to choose from:

• Winter Wonderland--make an album about your recent ski trip or Christmas memories
  
• Family--gather up all your favorite family pictures
  
• Celebration--perfect for a birthday album
  
• I Do!--for a wedding album, obviously
  

 So what are you waiting for? Get yourself a Quick Kit and complete that album you've been putting off!

I Heart You Card

I've been having way too much fun with the StoryBook Creator Plus software.  Yesterday I downloaded the With Love Digital Kit and the Valentine's Power Palette Additions.  I couldn't stop laughing when I made this:

Cards

I might have gone a little crazy when my Creative Memories shipment came today.  But you know, when you create little gems like this, it doesn't matter:

(Tools used: Creative Memories Sweet Heart Maker, Stickers from Earthy Power Palette and Ltd. Ed. Display Accents With Love)

Valentine's Power Palette Additions

Tell me this is not the cutest kit in the whole wide world.  Go ahead.  I dare you.  But seriously, isn't it the sweetest?  Take a closer look at the stickers.  You see the owl?  SO CUTE!!

The Valentine Power Palette Additions comes with everything you see here:

• 4 double-sided sheets of paper
• 8 double-sided photo mats
• 1 sheet of clear title stickers (English only)
• 1 sticker sheet

I don't usually do Valentine's Day layouts, but I think this kit would be perfect for making cards & crafts with the kids.  :)

Purchase the Valentine Power Palette Addition for just $9.00 (US) from my personal website (http://www.mycmsite.com/egrant).

Shop with me!

Have you seen this button in my sidebar?  This Thursday, I'll be part of a most excellent lineup of vendors over at MomChats!  You can shop and chat with consultants from Tupperware, Scentsy, Passion Parties, and Creative Memories (me!).

The party starts at 5:00, but come early for a Meet & Greet.  I'll be doing my thing from 9:30-10:15 EST.  Hope to see you there!

See the lineup and take a peek at the catalogs before Thursday!

Sunday Scrappin': Get Well

This week, for Sunday Scrappin', we were challenged to create a get well card or health-themed layout.  No one I know is in the medical profession, so I opted for the card.

That's an orangutan from the Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia, S.C.  The paper is from the Creative Memories Earthy Power Palette and I used the Corner Maker on the photo.

Ta-Da's:

• Completed three pages at my crop
• Reached my reactivation sales minimum (with a little help from my wonderful husband who bought me the Everyday Display and the StoryBook Creator Plus software!!)
• Set up my 2009 CM finances organizer and actually filled out my monthly expense report for January
• Scheduled two Get Togethers for this month
  

To-Do's:

• Work on my Maine album some more
• Schedule at least one more Get Together for February (either online or in-home--anyone game?)
• Receive my package full of CM goodies!
