The upcoming May/June 2010 kits features a brilliant selection of Green at Heart papers, Element Stickers, Canvas Tags, Micro Monogram Stickers in a layout that is perfect for early summer activities. Bursting with juicy color, patterns and texture, Kelly Goree’s layout is a sweet take on the Green at Heart collection.

For students working on a more general theme, this layout lends itself to Mother’s Day, early summer cookouts and gardening.

June’s kit features the elegant and timeless Cappella collection.

All about Me: “Favorite Places” – take a moment to think about the places you’ve spent time– whether it’s a room in your house, your favorite reading chair, or a place in town that is familiar to you—or a far-away and magical location you’ve visited. Think about why they are your favorite places. Feature up to three different places, or focus on just one.

“Things that scare me” – dig deep and be honest about your fears: what you are afraid of and why. Documenting your fears is one big step you have towards conquering them. For those preparing the “all about me” album, honestly documenting your fears may help the recipients understand you better and draw strength from your experiences.

TIM HOLTZ-what's all the buzz about

Here’s what Tim has to say about his new book:

“Get ready to embark on a journey filled with ideas and inspirations to spark your creative curiosities. This compendium is a compilation of my thoughts and ideas to guide you through your own artistic adventures. I wanted this book to be different though … not your ordinary “how to make” book, but rather “how to create”. I believe everyone is truly creative whether they think it or not. It’s all about embracing your imperfections and taking time to explore the imaginative. What you’ll discover will be wonderful, what you’ll discover will be yourself…

This 77 page book is filled with ideas on all things idea-ology, plus just about every technique I could think to put in it. The book is hard cover and metal spiral bound so it sits open flat on your table while you’re creating. I share my favorite supplies, tips, techniques, and a gallery showing ideas of putting it all together…”
