Masters Kit Sneak Peek

This month's kit is loaded with great paper. I love the colors from both lines you will receive in the kit. Get your travel pictures ready because one line is for those vacation memories you're making right now!

Sometimes one layout just isn't enough to tell the "story" so you need 2 layouts (or 3, or 4...)! When I make multiple layouts to tell one story, I always use the same paper and that's what I love about the Masters Kits. You get enough supplies to make much more than a single layout. Sometimes you may have to supplement the kit with a few sheets of solid cardstock, but this time I used only the materials in the kit. This layout is part one, part two will be posted with other designs by the Masters Team later in the Memory Gallery. "California Dreamin" is a layout of my daughter's trip to sunny California this summer. I cut out some of the travel words and pop dotted them across the top border to emphasize some of the details of her trip.

Have fun stretching your supplies and documenting your vacation memories!

Threading Water Comments

from Sandy Brown:
I love this new fiscars punch!! Only a few days ago, I was wishing I had a scalloped edge for a layout, but did not have one in my stash. Now, I can ALWAYS have a scallop. Love it! I was playing with it last night, and figured out how to make a corner. Cool, cool, cool!!

Thanks -- one of the best new tools I have bought in quite a while!

Sandy

P.S. These stamps are out of stock from manufacturer-but we will have some in when available. ALSO, if you are in the masters kit club, there was a border punch in there-please share some of the cool things you can do with that one too.

BE HAPPY

Good Morning. WOW, nothing makes you quite so happy as looking forward to a week on the beach. Relax, read a book, chat with your best friends, watching your kids on the beach . . . can't wait. So all of you 6 in 60 students, you know what that means, more BEACH layouts. I know everyone can't go to the beach this weekend, so I came across these little HAPPY reminders & thought it was worth sharing so you could also have a HAPPY week.

Fiskars Threading Water Punch

Run, don't walk to Memory Mania to get yours while they are still in stock. I just love this border punch by Fiskars. Scallops are the in thing right now and to have the holes evenly space are a bonus. The holes can be left plain, brads can be added, filled with beads or glitter, or even a rhinestone can be glued on top of each hole. No need to worry about spacing. The possiblities are endless. Let me see what you create with yours.

Vacation Album in 1 Day-ARE YOU SERIOUS???

I would like to wish CHRISTY a wonderful, relaxing birthday today!!! Boy, will she need it, after 3 dance recitals this weekend, she is wiped out. But "her babies" did great so she was very proud but very much looking forward to a lounging around Sunday!!!!! CHRISTY ROCKS!!! with her awesome layouts, bubbly smile & conversation, and she's always looking out for the NEW stuff that we can get in for all of you MM.

She also has many adoring fans -check out her last fans singing her "Happy Birthday" at summer camp. Recently i received this email from another of her loyal fans: "I'm so excited about the kit but then again I am excited about them all. Christy ALWAYS does a great job on the kits. I someday aspire to be as creative as she. Our MM family is lucky to have her but do you know what I am excited about? She is the only one I have had the privilege to be instructed by and I hear raves about the other instructors too. I can't wait until CCL and MMU to meet them all. " THanks Shondell for the wonderful praise. I agree, she is awesome!!! Enjoy your day & that massage next week!!!!

OK, today's the day my baby turns 20!!!!! Oh my, how fast the time does go. I know all of you using coupons each year can't wait until he's 40, but for the mom, i wish i could have frozen the age at 6 (the cutest age ever). How do you celebrate a 20 year old birthday??? Justin served Dane breakfast (a real treat), Nanny took him to lunch and Dad & I will serve up the finale -his favorite is ribs from T.J. Ribs. Not quite as much fun as the days when we planned his birthday for a month, creating invitations & decorations & props for his Farm, Ninja Turtles, Big Bird, panting dinosaur paws for the Dinosaur party & planning games for the Olympics party; oh those were the days and we didn't even know it. Oops, sorry I'm getting really sappy now. Don't forget to enjoy your savings WITH YOUR COUPON today only in honor of my Dane-O turning 20!!!!

Oh and if you're impressed that I've found all of these OLD photos to show Dane of past birthdays, its that awesome book PHOTO FREEDOM & Stacy Julian-just love being able to put my fingers on a photo in a matter of minutes. There's one book left at the store, even without the coupon its worth its weight in GOLD.

Monday Inspiration

Ok, back to work for many of us. Why or why do the weekends pass sooooo fast? I hope you had a wonderful weekend and HOW BOUT THEM TIGERS?????

KUDOS to NOELLE LANDRY for this awesome layout highlighting her girls; LOVE LOVE LOVE the title, Pajama Party, she punched the circles from the paper & popdotted them for added dimention and the ribbon on that top photo just makes you want to hold a baby-how sweet.

WOW-22 years

John & I celebrated our 22 year wedding anniversary this weekend. WOW-i can't believe it!!!!

BUT, it has definitely been the best 22 years of my LIFE!!! Justin was so sweet & decorated our room with rose petals, look how sweet. So I guess you know what I'll be scrapping this week for my weekly scrapbook challenge. So how many of you took the challenge last week and made a date with your friends to meet each week & scrap one layout per week this summer ? OK, if you can't commit to that, commit to scrap your last anniversary-send me some ideas while you're at it. Happy SCRAPPIN'!!!!!!!
