New Maya Road

Wow...what a busy few days I had with family this weekend! Ate plenty of turkey to last me until...hmmm...next year!

Only our newsletter members get additional coupons and sale information. So, go out to our website, scraploft.com and sign up today!

Gotta run...

Happy Thanksgiving!

We hope everyone has had a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving. I am so thankful for everyone and everything in my life. Thankful for my husband and two boys. They bring me such joy on a daily basis. Thank you for my friends. One of them who is also my business partner, Sarah. Thank you, good friend for all that you do for the store and for me. Also I am thankful for this hobby of scrapbooking. The ability to carry on memories for my children and those who may care to look at my art in the future.

Thank you to all of you out there too!

Bookmarks

Besides scrapbooking, one of my other favorite things to do during "me" time is read. I LOVE to read. So, in honor of my other hobby, I created a bookmark out of my scrapping supplies. Sarah is an avid reader too, so I made one for her as well. They were both made using a tag off clothing from Target.

Products used: #1 Paper: Golly Gee , Rub-ons: Morocco , Flowers: Flower Frenzy, Letter Stickers: Chestnut, other: ric rac.

#2 Paper: Cornelia Street, Letter Stickers: Chestnut, Flowers: Felt Fusion, Stickers: Grow, other: fiber.

These bookmarks were so fun (and fast) to make. It's amazing what we can do with this wonderful hobby of ours, isn't it?

New stuff is in!

We finally received some new stuff at the store! The Explore line from We R Memory Keepers is awesome! I am so excited to use these for my projects.

I love me some letter stickers too. Letter stickers were a staple of mine when I first started scrapping. I then moved into using my die cut tool. Now I am back to using letter stickers. So much easier. The doodlebug stickers are going to be fun to use. I can't wait!

Layout

Here is a layout I did of my two boys, my niece, and my nephew. I ran across this picture while looking through my stash of photos. I miss Steven and Katie so much. Boy have all the kids changed since then!

Paper and Rub-ons (circles and diamonds) from the Morocco Collection. Letter stickers are Scenic Route. Ghost heart from Heidi Swapp. Other-ribbon and journaling tag.

Hope you are all starting your winter of scrapbooking soon! I know I hope to have more time to work on projects.

Fall Fun

We went to Red Wing this weekend for our annual fall excursion. Always a good time and full of great pictures. I can't wait to add the photos to my fall album. Here is a layout I did with the Gretal line from Cosmo Cricket. I used last year's fall pictures for this project.

I wish Fall was a little longer. I love all the colors and the weather cool enough for a sweat shirt. Enjoy this semi-warm weather while it's here. Winter will arrive before we know it!

~Jenn

Exploring the Expected

We are expecting a new line by We R Memory Keepers to arrive in for the store. "Explore" has bold colors, beautiful designs, and just plain fun. I am so excited to see this paper up close. And the rub-ons...can't wait to use those! Look for it in the store within the week.

More products are coming in too. Will share more later.

Inspiration

It's been a week since a post. I worked all weekend, so no new projects completed. We still have some new products that we are waiting to come in to the store. Pictures to come when we have them. So today's post is about inspiration. Who inspires you in your scrapbooking? Well...I love the way that Sarah scraps. She is so creative. She may not believe that, but she is. She inspires me when we scrap together. So talented.

I also am inspired by Ali Edwards. So talented. Every single project she works on gives me inspiration. Check out this project she is working on for Christmas. I have such a hard time scrapbooking my christmas photos. I think it's because there are too many and I don't know where to start! I am actually trying to come up with a way to display the ones from last year. Well, here is an idea...

Latest Additions...

We have some new stuff added to our store from 7 gypsies. We had some requests for these stickers. These are fun to use as journaling accents. There are more than the Halloween ones available, so checke them out! We also added some more tags. I can't wait to use these for journaling as well. It makes it so easy to journal! Rub-ons are also fun to use.

The new interchangable stamps are going to be fun to use too. We did receive the rectangle ones and we will be getting the round ones in sometime soon. We also will have additional seals to interchange with the ones that are included.

We have new albums from 7 gypsies as well. Including, the 5x7 ring book, composition book, and 12x12 naked binder. Of course there are albums from Maya road available too. These are going to be so fun to alter!

I hope to be doing some projects soon. I will post ideas on how I use these products soon!
