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!

Happy Labor Day

Happy Labor to everyone! I hope everyone had a safe and fun holiday weekend. Here are some more pages for inspiration. The first one is using Basic Grey Blush paper pack. I hand cut the flowers that frame the photo out of one of the papers in the pack.

The next two pages are a layout from our trip to South Dakota. It was done using the CherryArte Poolside Collection. Paper is Lounge Lizard and I used the chipboard from that collection as well.

Some Scrap Time

I finally had some time to scrapbook last weekend! I was so excited to get some stuff done. I didn't get as much done as I thought, but hey I'm closer to being caught up then I was before! :)

Caught up...what's that?

Anway, used paper from the new Scenic Route Ashville collection for the first layout. The second one is using older Sassafras from the Playtime Collection. Enjoy!

Some Scenic Inspiration

Hello All!! Have I got a treat for you. Beth, our freelance designer has done 4 incredible pages for the store this month. All pages are using the new Scenic Route paper. Check our her awesome designs below. All always you can see her great work on our gallery.

We have returned...safe and sound

Hello to all!

We arrived home safe and sound from South Dakota today. It was a fun trip, full of many memories. And MANY pictures! With my pictures combined with Sarah's we will have enough to make like 25 scrapbooks! :)

I do believe that "the presidents" will be one of the memorable visits for the boys. Everywhere we went they could spot a poster, postcard, etc. of Mount Rushmore a mile away. It was a fun to see there faces when they would make a discovery.

I'm looking forward to getting the pictures printed out within the next couple of days. Maybe even working on a project with them this weekend at our scrapbooking retreat.

By the way, the one year anniversary of Scraploft going live was August 18th. I can't believe how fast the year went by. There is so much we are looking forward to doing in the coming year. With this month being so busy for both of us, we have decided to celebrate in September. Look for a coupon, give aways, and maybe even a sale next month! New products coming too.

~Jenn

I see scrapping in the future...

I went to Idaho August 2-6 for a wedding I was in. My wonderful friend from college is now a married woman! I am so happy for her. She has been looking for her "prince" for some time now and now he is hers. I got some wonderful pictures that I can't wait to scrap.

Back to work for this week until Sunday. Then we leave for SD on a family trip. I am super excited for this trip. Lots of pictures to take there too. I hope the kids have as much fun as I will have! Actually the best part of the trip is that it is one week in my 16 days off from work!

Looking forward to a scrapbooking retreat at the end of August. I think I have sat down to create something maybe...twice this summer! Ugh...lots o' pics to scrap!

Totally going to use some of the new Scenic and Cosmo for some pages....

However, I am super excited for the new products that we will be getting at Scraploft. I am actually excited to be able to enter NEW stuff into our inventory. Excited for inentory? Sad, but true. I am back in the groove, for now...

Over ONE week...so sorry...

It has been over a week since a post appeared on this here site. I am so sorry about that! I know excuses should not be made, but they are. :)

Busy week last week as Sarah and I were getting ready for a garage sale. Yes, we had a garage sale Thursday-Saturday. Made us some extra cash. It was a steamy one outside, but we did well. Got rid of some stuff, cleaned out the house a bit. Nice feeling.

Sarah and my bro, Todd, came over to celebrate the 4th at our house. We had a BBQ and set up for the sale. Todd and my husband, Joe, set off fireworks in our driveway. Very entertaining as always! :) We hope YOUR 4th was wonderful!

We've also been busy scoping sites for CHA previews. And we are so excited for a lot of products that are coming out. Cosmo Cricket for sure! Here is a peek...

a night of my own...

So Joe and the boys went up to Brainerd on Thursday night. I had to work, but when I got home I had the entire house to myself. I was planning on whipping out a scrapbook page, but alas I did not. Didn't really feel up to it once I got home. So...here are some frames that I made for my mom and mother in law for mother's day. Using the Zoom Collection, of course...

~Jenn

They have arrived...

We finally received the ink pads for the 7 gypsies block stamps. They come with one of each color-black, red, and brown. We also have more of the parenthesis block stamps themselves back in stock.

For me?

So I finally had some time to scrapbook. This is a layout of my husband's 27th birthday. I bought him an XBOX 360. He loves it - plus I like playing Uno and Texas Hold'em

You can't see the border too well because I didn't do that great of a scanning job. This page is made with the Halfway Cafe collection by Cosmo Cricket. I used the monograms, diecuts, and the fashion buttons. Enjoy :-)

Altered Frame!

So I should be working on our advertising banner for Memory Makers website (which will start in July - so be on the lookout) - but I forgot the dimensions at work, so it's soooo sad that I can't finish it. :-(.

So instead I worked on my going away presents for friends at work. I've been getting little cards, and notes from friends at work wishing me well at my new job, that I decided to buy/make little gifts for these wonderful people.

For Vince, a guy who has everything - literally. I made him a frame using the "old" Crate Paper - the Twirl Collection. (Can you tell I love Crate Paper?) He always has pictures of his granddaughter propped up on various mugs, and books at work - I thought I would give him a somewhere that he can put these pictures.

It turned out so cute. Check it out below!

This project uses the Twirl Collection by Crate Paper, Bazzill Blossoms, misc buttons. The chipboard is Chatterbox. Enjoy!

Congratulations!

Congratulations to Patricia from Vermont! Your order was the 200th order placed with Scraploft. There will be some extra goodies coming your way. An ENTIRE line of Crate Paper.

Thank you to all those who have purchased from us. We will have more contests soon.

More Crush...

This is a little mini-album made out of the Imagination Project - Steno Book. It is all about 1 day. A day in the life sort of thing. I used the new Crate Paper - Crush Collection. This was a really fun little project. Check out some of the pictures below:

CoverIntro and first page (Interview)
Mr. Jack and the Vet

And.. drum roll please.... the best thing about this day or rather the next day - I was offered the job that I interviewed the previous day. Yup you heard right - I FINALLY found a new job. I will be starting next Wednesday the 20th.

What makes the book fun - was I will always know what I was feeling, etc, on the day that I interviewed for the job. I guess I just think this day was truly the perfect day for a book like this. It is a snapshot into my life on that exact day.

So - one last question... If you could order any scrapbook product right now - what would you order?

Just curious :-)

Created with "Crush"

I went up north by Grand Rapids this weekend for a work party, and I was busy getting things ready for the trip on Thursday night. While waiting for my laundry to finish drying, I sat down to work on a project. I was able to finish this layout in an hour! Wow...amazing how fast I can whip these projects out when I'm by myself. Probably because I don't talk to myself much. :) But hey the best part of scrapbooking is the company of friends, right!?

Products used in this layout: Paper: Crush by Crate Paper-Sand, Longboard, Lagoon, and Coral. Title: Crateboard-Crush. Paisley Shapes: Fancy Pants Designs Chipboard-paisley pieces. Ribbon: Crush by Crate Paper.

May you be inspired!

~Jenn

P.S. Note that we now have the ribbon to match the 5 Crate Paper lines.

Milestone for Scraploft...and a give away!

Scraploft is getting close to having our 200th order. Wow, 200 orders! Amazing to think that we have sent out that many packages to fellow scrap bookers out there. Thank YOU!

In honor of this 200th order, we will have a give away. Whom ever places the 200th order will receive a gift from us. What is it you ask? Well it will be an entire line of Crate Paper. This includes two sheets of each patterned paper, die-cuts, rub-ons, crateboard, and ribbon!

Products used: Patterned paper: Zoom Collection by Crate, Title: Zoom Chipboard, Journaling Tag: 7 Gypsies 97% Complete tag, other: ribbon, button, and chipboard arrows.

Design Team Inspiration

Everyone needs a some inspiration on a Monday, right? Well I've got the inspiration for you.

Take a look at the frame that Mitch made! Isn't it great. I love that the frame isn't bound by the picture size. Sometimes the picture always doesn't look the best smack in the middle. This frame uses We R Memory Keepers, Peasant collection, 7 gypsies clear buttons, and American Craft Thickers.
Also - check out the AWESOME recipe book that Beth made. What a great way to preserve all those yummy recipe's from loved ones! This fun recipe book uses the Crate Paper: Samantha Collection, 7 Gypsies album, American Craft Thickers. Aren't the colors awesome?

Enjoy all the great projects!!
