#scrap20 Week 1 Check Point

Last week, I announced the August #scrap20 Page Challenge. Through this challenge you can get some pages done, share artwork and earn a chance to win a PRIZE!

To participate, simply return to this website each Friday in August to report your progress toward completing 20 scrapbook pages. You’ll be entered in the drawing to win a prize bundle from the yet-to-be-released Holiday Expressions Idea Book!

What did Rebecca finish this week?

This week, I completed two 2-page layouts (4 pages total). Both layouts featured my daughter’s Senior pictures taken by the fabulous Ashleigh Murphy of Anew Market Creations.

Layout 1 – Beautiful Senior

These photos were taken on a beautifully overcast (perfect for taking pictures) day in downtown Kirkwood, MO. We had so much fun wandering taking pictures on the sidewalks as well as the library, greenhouse, train station and candy store.  Don’t you agree that Ashleigh did an amazing job capturing Emily’s personality with creative perspectives?

The rich colors of the Documented (August Collection of the Month) papers and embellishments are perfect for these Black & White shots.

The words from the zip strip were perfect descriptions for this girl and I was able to match them up with pictures and fun pieces from the Complements pack. Love how well it all came together.

Layout 2 –  More Senior Pictures

The second layout I finished this week showcases a few more of the Senior Pictures Ashleigh took.  However, this layout is made with new products from the Holiday Expressions Idea Book that will not go live until September. So at this time I’m only going to give you a SNEAK PEEK.

Don’t you love that chipped painted wood paper? So much fun!! You’ll love the other papers as well.  I promise to show you this complete layout in early September.

Check in to win!

My tally: 4 pages down, 16 to go.

How many pages have you done? Comment your count below before next Friday and you’ll be entered to win a new product bundle from the Holiday Expressions Idea Book! Then be sure to check back next week to update your count to get another ticket in the drawing. In the mean time, share your completed pages on social media using the hashtag #scrap20!

Can’t wait to see what you make!

Product Focus: Paper Fundamentals Basic Assortment — plus a chance to win a pack!

One of the most overlooked products in the current Idea Book is the Paper Fundamentals Basic Assortment. It’s time to take this baby out of the corner. The pictures in the book just don’t do it justice. Until you see there papers in person, you can easily miss how unique and versatile they are. I’d like to invite you to take a closer look at this product.



In each pack, you get 20 sheets of double-sided paper, 2 each of 10 designs. Both sides of the each paper have the same pattern. On one side the palette color is offset by white and on the other with a glossy resist. The colors match our basic color palette allowing you to add a little extra glimmer or a classic subtle design to any project by replacing your solid cardstock with the Paper Fundamentals Basic Assortment. 


Watch this video to learn more and to see some fun examples of how these papers can add spice to any of your projects. 





For a chance to win your own Paper Fundamentals Basic Assortment, follow this LINKto Jeanette Lynton’s blog and leave a comment telling her what your fundamental scrapbooking item is and why you can’t live without it. To be eligible to win, be sure to leave your comment before July 31, 2014. 



Happy creating and good luck!

The new Autumn/Winter 2012 Idea Book will be live on August 1! Sadly, that means that we have to say good-bye to some great items to make room for the new products. To make sure that you don’t miss out on one of your favorites, I’ve put together the lists below of the items that will not be available to order after July 31.

Discontinued Item Contest Time:

On August 1, one lucky customer will win the Discontinued Embellishment Assortment shown below with retail value of over $25.
