International Press, September 2007

I am thrilled that Ikuko Kinuta, one of the Creating Keepsakes Japan editors, created a fabulous mini album using our 4x6.5 clear acrylic album. Ikuko was so kind to send me a copy of the magazine. It will be a wonderful keepsake from this amazing journey that began less than a year ago.

an album for a dog lover

I created this album for a fund raiser at Emma's preschool. Each class puts together a basket to be auctioned off. The theme for her class's basket was dog lovers. I think the papers are SEI and Creative Imaginations...but I am not certain. Stickers are 7gypsies stickers and Autumn Leaves. Also, the layout of the pages were inspired/copied from an album made by my mother-in-law. She made an adorable Christmas album out of the 4x6.5. I hope to be able to share photos of it soon.

Take a minute and head over to the scrapbook kit club, Cupcake Scrap Shop, for a sneak peak at their October Kit.

We are thrilled that our cute 3x3 mini album is included in this awesome kit. The colors are so fun. I can't wait to see what her design team creates with all the great product!

some more ideas

I wanted to share some links to two albums made with the August Cocoa Daisy kit.

Ali Edwards summer album is here.

Kristina Contes album is here.

I have my August kit sitting in my scrapbook space. I can't wait to have a free moment to create with it. By the way, there is a great contest going on with the August kit.

Cocoa Daisy

We are so excited that Kristina Contes chose our 4x6.5 album for the August Cocoa Daisy kit. I can't wait to get my kit. They go on sale August 1. I can't wait to see the design team gallery. Jeremy and I watched many movies while putting these albums together. Thankfully, we recently joined Blockbuster Total Access. Love it, but I can't understand how do they make any money.

class at crop, paper, scissors

I taught a class at Crop, Paper, Scissors in June. We made a 6x6 album and used one of my favorite techniques where we paint the inside of the front cover. This time we taped off a little 3x3 square with painters tape. It made a little window to see the first page of the album. It was so fun, I had a great time with the ladies who took the class.
