Last chance to get the August Craft With Heart Layouts!

Our new Craft With Heart subscription program has been hugely popular over the last year. The layouts for August are some of my favorites!

They are so bright and cheerful that I couldn’t help but smile when I was putting mine together.  What pictures do you have that would look good on these?

If you are familiar with our “Cut Above” line of products, you’ll understand how these layouts come together. Although the pages above have lots of fancy elements, there is NO CUTTING required! All those fancy designs are either printed directly on the base page, are punch apart papers or stickers! Seriously, these layout will come together in about 20 minutes or less.

These layouts are only available by subscription through August 31. If you subscribe today, these layouts will conveniently show up right on your door step!

When you sign up in August you’ll have a few options:

First, you will choose whether you want to receive a set of two layouts and pay each month. Alternatively, you can choose to receive the kits and pay every four months. With this option, you will receive 8 layouts immediately and again every January, May and September. You can save even more by selecting to pay annually. Under this option, you’ll still receive the layouts every four months, but you save 20% plus get free shipping when you choose annual billing.

Since August is the last month in the current 4 month cycle, you will also have the option of starting your subscription in August or deferring it until September.

Just to clarify, here are all of your choices using every combination of these options:

Monthly/Start immediately —>  You’ll be shipped he August kit now. Then on September 1, a new kit will be shipped. Your credit card will be charged for the August kit immediately and again on September 1 and each 1st of the month going forward.

4-month or 12-month/Start immediately –> Your subscription will be retroactive to May 1 and you’ll be shipped all 4 of the kits below (8 layouts) immediately. Then on September 1, a new set of 8 layouts will be shipped! Your credit card will be charged immediately for these four kits and again each September 1, January 1 and May 1 going forward.

12-month/Start immediately –> Your subscription will be retroactive to May 1 and you’ll be shipped all 4 of the kits above (8 layouts) immediately. Then on September 1, a new set of 8 layouts will be shipped! Your credit card will be charged immediately and every May 1 going forward.


Monthly/Start Sep 1 –> Your September layouts will ship on September 1 and you’ll have a new set every 1st of the month following. Your credit card will be charged on September 1 and each 1st of the month going forward.

4-month/Start Sep 1 –> On September 1, 8 layouts for the September through December kits will be shipped! Your credit card will be charged on September 1 and each January 1, May 1  and September 1 going forward.

12-month/Start Sept 1 –> On September 1, 8 layouts for the September through December kits will be shipped! Your credit card will be charged on September 1 and each September 1 going forward.

I hope that helped sort it out…basically, if you don’t want to miss out on the August layouts, be sure to select Start Immediately. If you want to get the May – August layouts select Start Immediately with the 4-month or 12-month option.

10 Reasons Why Scrapbooking Is Important

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. 

Start your scrapbooking journey today! It
will fill your soul with such joy now and even more so in the future when you
look back on all your wonderful memories in your beautiful scrapbooks!

NEW! Craft with Heart Scrapbooking Subscription

Thursday in my August summary post, I shared with you the basics of our new Scrapbooking Subscription Program, Craft with Heart. Today I’d like to share more of the details and show you the layouts for the first four months of the program, September through December.

When the new Craft with Heart scrapbooking subscription was announced our annual convention in June, I was so excited and have been eagerly anticipating sharing it with you. Through this program, ready-to-make “Cut Above” scrapbook layouts arrive directly at your door in a pretty pink box! Now it’s even easier to stay on top of your scrapbooking passion.

Let’s get started>>

When this program is fully rolled out in September you will have the option of receiving your layouts monthly or every 4 months (following our Seasonal/Holiday Idea Book publication schedule). You will also have the choice to pay monthly, every 4 months or annually. You can start your subscription a month early and have your first set of 8 layouts mailed right away.

Let’s get started>>

Why Pay Annually?

The annual subscription is the best deal for several reasons.

  1. 20% discount. You pay just $7.18 per layout!
  2. Receive the kits for the first four months (8 layouts) right away! You’ll receive four more kits each January, May and September.
  3. No shipping charges! This is a savings of $59.40 over the monthly subscription.
  4. No renewal fees until September 2019. 
  5. Receive a coupon for 30 free prints from Persnickety Prints in each delivery

What are Cut Above Layouts?

This subscription is for two page 2-page 12″ x 12″ decorative Cut Above kits. Included in the kits are printed base pages, pre-cut pieces, die-cuts, stickers and photo placeholders. All you need is adhesive and a journaling pen —- and of course your photos. The pages really do come together super quickly.

The pages for each month coordinate with the paper packs in the 2019 Holiday Expressions Idea Book that will go live in September. This is great because if you want to do a series of matching pages, you can also do the Scrapbooking Workshop Your Way kits for a total of 5 to 8 coordinating layouts (10 to 16 pages).

Ready to see the projects?

Note that since these kits coordinate with products in the Holiday Expressions Idea Book, these pictures will give you just a little peak at what is to come!
