Gather Autumn Memories Mini-Album

Gather Autumn Memories Mini-Album uses the the newest Accucut dies, Reminisce papers, Gaphic 45 embelishments, and American Craft buttons to help celebrate the changing colors of Autumn and (hopefully) the cooler weather to come. When I put together this mini-album perfect for all of your fall activities I was thinking of how much fun our family will have taking the photos to fill up all the pages-pumpkin patch, pie, apple orchard, Thanksgiving, and who knows what else! There's lots of room for pictures, hidden journaling in a pocket page, and many more darling features for you to discover. Several kits have already been pre-sold so don't hesitate to take a peak at the Sweet Tooth Website and grab one for yourself! ($18.99)

CHA Releases-fun new stuff!

It was a "Dream Come True" to see all of the latest and greatest releases from tons of great companies like Reminisce: Our first stop on day one was at the Reminisce booth to say "Hello" to Meagan and Ryan. Pictured L to R are Meagan Moores, Cindy Noesen, Angela Ploegman, and myself. They booth looked great and it was fun to see spooky house, Gingerbread house and other fun projects made by the design team. Unfortunately I deleted them from my camera this AM. Note to self: don't work on the blog before three cups of coffee!One new hot item I noticed at the show was a lot of altered items and home decor items. This booth featured twine, jute, burlap, Chalk Paper, etc. Again I had several fun photos to share; but...Check them out: Canvas Corp LLCSassafras had these fun canvas projects up and they caught my eye. The designer used fabric tissue patterns on the canvas and then painted them. Gotta steal that idea! OK, I also had some cool pics from the Graphic 45 booth. The people working the booth were dressed up as steampunks. Very cool! Georgious new line of paper arriving soon from them to Sweet Tooth and The Scrapbooking Studio.

Cool new tools to check out: try the Cinch from WeRMemoryKeepers if you get a chance, I found it to be easier to use than the Bind-it-All from Zutter because of the wider base and easier to grip handle design. Also, the acrylic stamp maker from Theresa Collins was demoed to me during a class I took. It was well engineered and well thought out. The initial kit arrives with everything you need to get started, later you'll need to buy some comsumable products but not many. Also, saw a quick demo of the Zutter distress it all machine-that was very cool and I'll have to buy one as soon as they arrive in Amy's store: The Scrapbooking Studio in Moline. EK Success had a dust pan and small broom to collect glitter, etc. (static free). Gotta get one of those for sure!

I apologize for the loss of my photos. I had so much to share with all of you :(

Reminisce's Sneak Peaks! Check out the new goodies...

Reminisce's Making the Grade Mini-Album: Loved the pencil paper, dimensional apples, pencils, and colored pencils, awesome sticker journal blocks too. The adorable wooden album with acrylic front cover is from My Monster Creations located in Omaha NE. I loved working with the wooden album-it was so easy to get great straight cut lines with the wood, I was able to use my dry adhesive to adhere the paper to wood (no mess!), the tabs are a fun embellishment opportunity, and I really was able to fit in a lot more pictures than I thought I would when I began the project. There were so many fun mini-albums to choose on My Monster Creations website. Well, I'll just have to get some more SOON!!
Thanks Reminisce & My Monster Creations!! I had a great time creating this memorable album for the kids :)
