Easter

I've been playing catch up at home and work and so haven't had a lot of time for stamping and scrapbooking. I intend to remedy that this week and get back here and post more too.

In the meantime, here is a layout I did for my February Paper Pack Club.

The Age of New

It's that time when all the new stuff is starting to ship. I love this time!!

I received 3 new stamps from Unity Stamp Company and they're awesome. Nice red rubber cling mounted stamps.

They're $6.50 each.

Tim Holtz Stamps

He has a bunch of new release stamps and I just wanted to share two that I really like.

Swinging

Here is a layout I actually made a few months ago. It's just a simple one that I did with a paper pack so it all matches.

Ribbon Holder

I have struggled with how to store my ribbon and have used a few different systems. I've never been totally sold on any of them. I used to keep them in little rubbermaid bins with holes drilled on the top, but that took a ton of room and I wanted to be able to see them at a glance.

Currently, I have them on 2 dowels where I can see them, but it's a pain to replace.

Cropper Hopper has a cool ribbon holder that would let you keep your ribbon on display, but it's also quick and easy to change the ribbon out. I love it. Of course, I'm not sure I have room to put it anywhere in my room, but I love it anyway. And you could hang all sorts of cool things off of it!!

By the Month

I saw this idea in some magazine and then saw an awesome layout. I photocopied the layout and put it in my envelope of photos so I'd remember when I came to do my layout. As I get more organized (and caught up), I'm going to start doing that more. Photocopying a layout if I have an idea of how I can adapt it and then putting it right with the photos I want to scrapbook. Of course, I'm still behind, so that's likely something for down the line.

Anyway, each month, I took a photo of Nathalie holding the same bunny so I could see how she had changed and grown. Then I created a layout with those 12 photos. The sample layout had some cool milestones recorded so I looked back and found some and did that too. I'm quite happy with how it turned out.

Alphabet Tiles

I decided that I'd intersperse some product posts since there are so many new and cool things coming out!

I like the Bottlecap Inc inserts and bottlecaps. So easy to use!

They have introduced square Alphabet Tiles. They're 3/4" and they have Epoxy squares which can cover them so they'd make a very quick and cool embellishment to a card or scrapbook page.
