The second paper collection in our November – December catalog provides the calm that we need as we wrap up 2020. The Serenity papers, coordinating cardstock, PML cards and embellishments feature the peaceful color combination of Blue Belle, Sapphire, French Vanilla, Toffee and Espresso. If you plan to spend some time crafting this winter, this set is perfect for the chilly days ahead.
The first paper collection in our November – December catalog is cheerful and fun. The Jingle Joy papers, stickers, PML cards and embellishments feature the trendy color combination of Clover, Flamingo and Raspberry. Even though this is a nontraditional holiday color combination, the icons and sentiments will help you get into the Christmas season. With the year we’ve had in 2020, we need this boost of fun & festivity!
The July Stamp of the Month, For My Beautiful Friend, is filled with sweet messages to send to someone special plus flowers, butterflies and even a dragonfly. I love the swish of paint image that allows you to highlight a specific word. I used it in the card above to add a watercolor brush to “Beautiful”.
If you are a 12″ x 12″ scrapbooker like me, you may not have thought the Happiest Place kit was for you. But with a little extra paper, you can tweek this kit to make 16 beautiful Disney-themed pages!

Earlier this month, I share with you the June Special, The Best Moments are Free. In this post, I showed you the four “scrapbooking kits” that you can get free when you buy certain stamp sets this month. In this post, I’d like to rebrand these “scrapbooking kits” as “project kits” because you can make anything you want with them!
This wedding or anniversary card uses stamping, paper and embellishments from the Then & Now Kit. The sentiments were added from the June Stamp of the Month, It’s Your Day to Sparkle.
Here are the cards I made with the other three product kits plus the stamp of the month. I used a lot of the design techniques I learned from the layout projects.
Whether you are a scrapbooker, card-maker or both, these kits are a really good value. You’ll save even more when you buy them all! Add The Best Moments Are Free Bundleto your cart for just $52.95 and you’ll get all four stamp sets plus product bundles!
When you buy the bundle, your purchase is enough to qualify you to get the June Stamp of the Month for just $5! This brings your total to just $57.95 for over $125 in product!
I hope this gives you some ideas of other ways you can use the free “project kits”. Be sure to order yours before the month ends!
Happy Creating,
Rebecca

Have you ever tried scrapbooking? If not, have you ever known
anyone who did? Or maybe you just think to yourself I don’t have time for
that or I don’t get what all the fuss is about. Well, you’re in the
right place. I’m going to show you what all the fuss is about by sharing with
you the top 10 reasons why scrapbooking is so important AND why the Craft withHeart subscription box is the perfect solution to getting you started! So,
let’s dive in! 🙂
TOP 10 REASONS WHY SCRAPBOOKING IS IMPORTANT
1) Memories
fade & change over time. By preserving your memories now within a
scrapbook, later in life you’ll be able to share with others and remember
yourself exactly what those memories looked like. No tainted or foggy memories
changing the story. Just real moments captured and preserved like it was just
yesterday.
2) Create
stories. What’s even better than a single picture (a shot in time or a brief
memory) is an actual story. With a scrapbook, you can make pages dedicated to a
story. You can record all the details to tell it exactly the way it happened.
Being able to look back on these stories and read the details of them exactly
how they happened is something so invaluable in life.
3) Relaxation.
This is something we all could use a little more of in our busy every day
lives. A big reason why people scrapbook is because it can be so therapeutic.
You can really zone in on something enjoyable you’re doing, thus causing you to
relax and feel zen.
4) Reflection.
Personal reflection has been proven to be an important part of self-care and
personal growth. When you’re scrapbooking, this is a wonderful time of
reflection. You can reflect on the good times and feel thankful or reflect on
where you were at different times in your life and recognize how far you’ve
come within your own self-growth.
5) A
safe place for your photographs. How many photos do you have across multiple
devices? Those devices may not be backed up, could become lost, stolen, or
broken and you would lose all of those memories. A scrapbook is a home to keep
your photographs safe and preserving those memories.
6) Great
gift ideas. Scrapbooks make the most wonderful and meaningful gift ideas for
family and friends. These are gifts that will be cherished for a lifetime. It’s
an awesome way to show your loved ones that you care.
7) There
are no rules. You don’t have to stick to any specific format or rules when
scrapbooking. There is no wrong way. You can make your scrapbook all your own.
You can make it totally your style.
8) Improve
your photography skills. Once you start scrapbooking, you will start thinking
more about the ways you snap your photos. You may start to consider lighting,
angles, and filters. It’s cool to see the progress in the overall quality of
your photos as you start scrapbooking.
9) Creative
outlet. Sometimes we get so caught up with working so much and always being so
busy that we never take the time to pause and do something FUN. Scrapbooking is
a fun and creative outlet, which can be so important to our mental health and
help us avoid getting burnt out.
10) Gives
you a hobby. Are you one of those people that freeze up in job interviews when
asked what your hobbies are. If you don’t have any dedicated hobbies, I
encourage you to get one. Scrapbooking is a great hobby to have because of all
of the examples above! Scrapbooking rocks!
Subscription boxes are super popular right now and for very good
reasons. They are easy, hassle-free solutions so that you can enjoy more of
whatever your passion is. The Craft with Heart subscription box service was
created just for that reason.
Life is busier than ever right now, so it can
sometimes be a pain to find the time to shop around, either online or in the
craft stores, to find all the craft supplies you need for your scrapbooking
project. Especially when you’re starting out. You may not be sure what items
work well together, what tools you may need, or just feel clueless altogether.
Craft with Heartremoves that from the equation so you can get started having
fun and creating awesome scrapbooks!
So not only is it a great way to introduce
you to the process, but also helps you discover your style. Everything you need
to complete two 2-page layouts is included in each month’s box. This helps save you time and money. There
are different subscription options for your convenience. You can even pay
annually to save 20% off the kit price, get free shipping plus 30 free photo prints! In addition when you choose to pay every 4 months or annually, your first four kits are mailed out immediately and you’ll get a new set of four kits every January, May and September going forward.

will fill your soul with such joy now and even more so in the future when you

Continuing on the school picture theme from yesterday’s postabout my friend Laurel’s green screen fiasco — let’s talk about what to do with those pictures so that these great memories are not lost.
Second only to hanging them on the wall, the best way to keep the school pictures and other memories accessible is an album. A 12×12 scrapbook pages provides room for the official school picture, a few other snapshots plus notes about what made the year special. If you like that idea but need help getting started, I have a workshop just for you!
The You’ve Got Class scrapbooking workshop includes all the materials needed to create a 14 pages — an entire album with a title page and a single page for each school year from Kindergarten to Twelfth grade.
For years to come, these pages will be available to commemorate the passage of these formative years. Want a closer look at these layouts, download the free workshop guide.
The complete kit includes:
As mentioned above, the kit includes 7 True Fit Folios. One of these 12″x12″ folders can be used in place of two back to back base pages. This allows you to slip your child’s memorabilia inside before you slide it all safely into a Memory Protector.
Here’s an example of a layout using one of the True Fit Folios as a base.
This exclusive kit is available through September 30. Although the items in the kit are available separately, you will save 25% off the retail value when you purchase thecomplete kit.
