Happy New Year
Wishing you all a safe, happy and healthy New Year.
In this quiet time, while watching and listening to the news and emergency sites, we’ve been plodding away, collating and recording our memories
It’s time to come up for a breather.
It’s raining a little here, and many of the Evacuation notices have been revised to Watch and Act. There are still fires, but we are having some respite. For all those in areas of poor air quality, please take care.
Thanks again to all our amazing Volunteers, Relief and Emergency Service people. We’re indebted to you all.
Mini Catalogue and Sale-a-Bration
Many of you will now have your catalogues. Please contact me if you don’t have your paper versions or if you are not able to access them on-line. More about these down the page!
Memory Keeping Ideas for You
I think I’m starting to “get” scrapbooking/memory keeping/smash albums. It’s fun!
Do you, too, have lots of stuff at home that you’ve put aside for your own memory keeping? It might be time to dust it/them off and play during some quiet time.
We kept many of the brochures, maps, bits & pieces from our holiday. They’ve now come out of the safe stash where they languished after we can home from our holiday.
I used a variety of Memories & More Stampin’ Up! products.
I had a partially used 12×12 Stampin’ Up! album and many different sized pocket pages for both our large and small albums. I had old and new Memories and More packs that I knew would be useful and perfect ‘some day’ !
Here’s a few pics to share….I’m about 2/3 done.
You can see some of the Stampin’ Up! products are new, and some are retired. I always had in mind I would use them, but needed a great project (and time) to focus.
Can you see some possibilities for yourself?
In the lead page for the cruise section, I used all current product, mainly Sailing Home Suite and Daisy Lane (Annual Catalogue)
I’ve used various Memories & More Cards, co-ordinating DSPs, pocket pages from both the large and small collection, Sail Away and Leaves trinkets, and a few different stamp sets.
When we travelled to Alaska, I saw how I could use a number of stamp sets; Rustic Retreat, Nature’s Roots, Merry Moose as well as Sailing Home. I also used other splotch and splatter stamps as the album progressed.
You can see the Album is getting very full. I’ve placed my order for another album that will just be this trip!
There’s more to come. First Vancouver Island and then some time in Seattle.
You might like to view the YouTube video giving a quick run through the album to date. HERE is the link.
Paper Trimmer and Mini Trimmer
I found our new paper trimmer has been excellent. The blades stay sharp and provide an accurate cut.
The other standout for me has been our new Mini Trimmer. It’s one of the free items available for new demos who join during Sale-a-Bration We were able to purchase this product to enable us to test it. It’s wonderful! Ask me how you can get yours.
The Mini Trimmer is perfect to cut down 6×4 photos to fit in 3×4 pocket pages. You can still see the train and the impact of the photo. I used the other 3×4 slots in this page configuration for journalling.
Handmade for You.
