A winner and another giveaway

Friday, February 27th, 2009

I’m so excited. We were featured on ScrapScene today, a very cool blog about the latest in scrapbooking.  If you’ve never checked it out, do it …. it’s awesome. 

But onto some other business. We posted a giveaway a few weeks back and I think it’s time to announce the winner. Emily N. will receive a January kit for her comment about what frustrates he most about scrapbooking. She said, “Love your stuff! Let’s see… I’m frustrated about not having my office put together! I don’t have anywhere to scrap yet!”  Yeah for Emily!

Okay, so we have more stuff to giveaway. Leave us a comment about what makes you happy today (I’m very happy today if you haven’t picked up on that and all the exclamation points I’m using). I want to know what makes you smile. We’ll randomly pick a winner and we’ll send you a Febuary main kit.

We hope you’re having a great day. Make it a good one!

xoxoxo,

Kimberly

Edited: We’re still taking comments. If you’d like to win a kit, tell us what’s making you happy today. I’ll pick a winner at the end of this week (March 6).


Scrap what you love

Saturday, February 7th, 2009

 

I never scap about my husband; well, that’s not completely true. I do include him in many scrapbooking pages when it pertains to his role as a father. However, I’m horrible about scrapbooking things that have to do with me, him or our relationship. I focus solely on our daughter, which though she’s adorable, doesn’t tell our whole story.

When looking at the February main kit, I felt inspired to talk about love. I wanted to scrap about my husband and how much I love him. The funny thing is he was absolutely thrilled when I showed him the pages. I guess I didn’t realize how left out he’s been in the process of sharing our family’s story. Now, he’s not only showing up in my scrapbook pages, but he’s the star! I think this month would be a good time to scrap about things you love. We all love our children, but let’s try to think outside the box. How about our favorite books? Or the foods we love? Or the friends we lean on?

 

I’m about to start a page (using items from all three February kits, of course) on what I love about my new home town. We’ve lived her for almost two years now, and we’re still amazed each day by what a great and really cool place it is. I also want to do a page with pictures of me and Jennifer through the years. When we were preparing this site, we looked through tons of old pictures of ourselves when we were teenagers. So many good memories! I want to take some of the best ones we found and put together a page with them. See, there are two pages about things I love and neither one feature my little girl! What about you? What do you love? What can you scrap about that’s different than you normally do? Post a comment, we want to know. And maybe, just maybe, I have a prize for you.


A new month, a new kit

Well, February is already here and it’s time for a new kit. This month’s kits are crammed full of some of the cutest scrapbooking supplies out there. You won’t be disappointed. And of course, since February is the month of love there are lots of reds, pinks and adorable hearts. This month’s album is beyond cute, and you can’t find it anywhere else. I used mine to showcase love letters my litle girl writes to me  … she’s almost five and loves to make me cards, umm like every day!

Be on the look out for some samples from the February kits. We’ve put together some wonderful pages and a few Valentine’s Day-themed projects. Plus, I’ll show you what I did with the album, which comes with the main kit.

Check back for ideas, contests and all sorts of scrapbook related posts. If you haven’t left a comment on the previous post, do it! I have a great prize package to give away and would love to give it to you
