GASC Follow-up!

While at GASC I took some time to meet with Pam with Maps-2-Memories and met many new friends, including Kathleen Reid, author of "A Page Out of Life". An incredible novel of three women brought together through scrapbooking. They help each other with the trials and tribulations of life, and in the end, grow and lean on each other like sisters. (If you've read it, you know the hidden meaning here!) Does this sound familiar?! Do you have a scrapbooking group of friends that are near and dear to you? It's an easy read...perfect for summertime! She will be coming to our store soon for a book signing! Details coming soon!

Reminisce

Okay, it's taken me a few days to get this posted, it is a very large and varied release! There are 42 themes! Yes, you read that correctly...
42 themes of stickers and double-sides papers!
Includes....Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, beach, hunting, track & field, trains, volleyball, camping, marching band, tailgating, gymnastics, tooth fairy, moving, travel, pets, sports and LOTS more!

Queen & Co Mini Felt Fusion

While at GASC, we saw Wendy, owner of Queen & Co. from my hometown of sunny & hot San Diego! We had a blast catching up and making plans for the Summer Trade Show. She sent me back with several 12 inch mini felt fusion in special packaging. They retail for 0.79, I don't think they will last long in the store at that price! She is still trying to decide the best way to package for the next release. In 12 inch packages or on rolls by the yard? Come check them out and give me your feedback and I'll let Wendy know! Thanks!

"A garden is a delicate balance between nature and nurture, and so is human creativity. All of us are born with a unique way of interpreting the world and a boundless imagination that's eager to burst into bloom. " Mary Engelbreit

I recently came across this quote and couldn't help thinking how true it is especially now with my children home from school.

October Afternoon is here!

After many manufacturing delays, October Afternoon finally arrived last night. We ordered both Day Dreams and Detours which includes diecuts, chipboard, stickers, papers & stamps. This is their CHA Winter 08 Release. It has been much anticipated and I anticipate it selling out quickly so come in quickly for the best selection! It is going in the system and will be on the floor around lunch time. Hooray!

Edit - the chipboard and alph stickers are on back order :(

Now that school is over...

Here are some ideas for layouts ~

First Day/Last Day photos - Compare a picture of them on their first day of their current grade and on the last day. Note the changes.
If you have any photos of the them with their teacher(s), have them write a little something about their teacher and their experiences with him/her.
Have your child dictate their experience in this particular grade or have them write it themself!

Ask them what they learned, what their favorite thing was, who their friends are, what they liked to do, etc.
Don't forget their friends! An important part of any child's school experience is their friends. Take photos of your child with some of their best friends and do a layout with them.

This photo was taken last June when Mckenna turned 9, tonight is her 10th b-day party. I can't believe how much she has grown in a year!
