August Specials: What A Hoot and Picture Perfection

If you love owls as much as I do, then you will definitely fall in love with the August Stamp of the Month-What A Hoot!  This build-your-own-owl set is so adorable, you choose his eyes, wings and even add a hat to make him look fashionable.  This little guy is great for Fall/Halloween, but add the party hat and he could be used on a birthday card, invitations or party favors too!

The What A Hoot set is only available during the month August!  It's just $5 with a $50 purchase from the Annual Inspirations Idea Book.  You can CLICK HERE to shop my website and place an order online.  

Also in August is the Picture Perfection special!

 

This special features the Picture My Kits found beginning on page 146 of the Annual Inspirations Idea Book. There are 13 kits to choose from which include different themes like Christmas, Baby, Travel, Family, Beach and several others.   Here's a look at just a few of the Picture My Life Kits.

These kits are perfect for anyone new to scrapbooking, or anyone who has tons of photos just waiting to be put into albums.  Picture My Life Kits provide you with a quick way to preserve your memories and still have your albums looking fabulous!  You can even mix your Picture My Life layouts in with your traditional layouts-they look great together!

 Each kit includes the following;

• 12 x 12 pre-designed cover page.
• 10 Memory Protectors in various designs.
• 122 double sided cards in 3x4 & 4x6 horizontal and vertical designs.  The cards are cardstock weight and feature journaling spaces, sentiments and a variety of icons.

During the month of August, when you purchase any of the 13 Picture My Life Kits at the full retail price of $24.95, you can add your choice of one qualifying Memory Protectors 10-packs for just $3!  Each Picture My Life Kit already includes one 10-pack of Memory Protectors, so when you add on your additional pack for only $3, plus an album, you'll be well on your way to your own picture-perfect pocket scrapbooking adventure!

EEK! Annual Inspirations New Product Blog Hop

Welcome to the CTMH Blog Boosters New Product Blog Hop!  Here you will find tons of inspiration to create fun projects using new products from the 2014-2015 Annual Inspirations Idea Book.  

Fall is one of my favorite seasons.  I especially love Halloween!  This layout came together rather quickly and I love how it turned out.  

I sponged the edges of the papers and cardstock with Black Ink.  The Complements are also sponged with Black Ink, clustered and popped up with 3D Foam Tape to add dimension.

The new border punches are a great way to add interest to your artwork.  I used the Triangle Border Punch on the Pear cardstock strips.

The following products were used to create this layout;

• X7185B-Scaredy Cat Level 2 Paper Pack
• X7185C-Scaredy Cat Complements
• Z1988-Black Striped Twill Ribbon
• Z1997-Triangle Border Punch
• Z2105-Black Ink Pad
• Z697-Round Sponge
• Z1151-3D Foam Tape

I hope I've inspired you to create something Boo-tiful for Halloween!  Click on any of the images below for more inspiration.  Thanks for Hopping By!

A Graduation Gift

Now that Graduation has come and gone I can share this cute little album I made for my niece. She lives in North Carolina and since we couldn't attend the festivities, I wanted to create something special for her to record all of her Senior Year Memories.

This album came together rather quickly.  I went with her school colors, Black & Gold for the color scheme.  I used the Hip Pics Album, For Always papers (retired), Jubilee papers, Honey, Black, White & Whisper CS, Black & Whisper Inks, Black Shimmer Trim, Black Sparkles, Honey Washi Tape, My Crush Best Day Ever Assortment, School Years & All The Details Stamp Sets.

I added a few photos, but left the other pages blank so she could add her favorite pics of her friends, school events & activities.  It was super-simple to make and she really loved it!

Stock Up Before They Go Up!

The NEW Annual Inspriations catalog goes live August 1st and I can hardly wait! It's jam packed with over 250 amazing new products and I know you are going to be in papercrafting heaven once you get your hands on it.

But I wanted to make you aware of some price changes that will be effective with the new catalog. There are several items that will be increasing in price.   These items are available NOW, at the current prices, and you may want to stock up on some of your favorites before the prices increase August 1st.

Here's a list of the items that will be increasing in price effective August 1st;

A few items that I think are great ones to stock up on are the organizers (perfect for holding stamps, inks embellishments, & Picture My Life cards.  Also ink pads (if you still need a few colors), and the Faux Leather Albums.  The albums will increase in price by $5.00, so you may need to grab a couple to have on hand. You can't beat the quality of our albums!  They are post bound, expandable and extremely durable. You spend alot of time and $$ creating your pages, you should store them in a good, quality album that is going to last a lifetime.
