Modern Memories

We're a Changing

We making a few changes and we're happy about them.

1. We've designed a new newsletter that I hope is easier to read and more information. We used to use ListBuilder by Microsoft but that will be discontinued in June, so I was forced to look for something else. I selected Constant Contact and am very pleased with it. It only took a few hours to figure out and build the first one. I'm anxious to see what other styles are available to me. Stay tuned.

2. We have a new on-line store. Since there is no way any store can offer all the fabulous products that are available to scrapbookers,  we decided to expand on the web.

We also just received some new albums (styles we haven't carried before). I already snagged one for my grandson's next album. We also got the new school paper in for Warwick, Ephrata, and Manehim. We ran out and Dave said he called those who requested notification when they arrived.

Thanks to those who purchased my Mother's Day pages and accordian album.

I've been working on a new Father's Day kit. The letters D, A, D, are cut out of chip board and then we put pattern paper over that. It gives it a nice dimension. The overlay reads "I'm so glad your my Dad". Come in and pick one. The nice things about these kits are they are not mass-produced, and when they are sold out they are gone, because I'm off creating a kit for the next occasion. So even if someone has one, by the time you include your pictures and move the embellishments around, it is a total new look, and all your own.

There is also a Father's Day mini accordian album you can make.

Here is my Father's Day layout from last year. I really like it because it is all the boys, father, granddads, and great-granddads from both sides of the family.  I have a Mother's Day picture with all the girls -mother, grandmas, and great-grandmas on both sides of the family, that I will do a layout of in the near future. Non of us are getting younger so I'm glad I have them.

                                                               

Here is my favorite summertime layout so far. I love the thought that summer is in front of us and anything is possible.

                                                                           

I also like taking pictures at the beginning and end of summer to see how much the boys grow.

It's been a while since I blogged, so I had a lot to say. So if it is ok with you.  I'll sign off. Come by and pick up what you need to get your summer scrapping going.

Happy Scrapin'

Did you see this?

We have some new products come in this week. I can't show all of them but here is just two of the new papers. It is hard to tell from the small pictures but the paper is just beautiful. The one on the left is part of the Far East collection and the one on the right has sparkles and just makes you smile because it looks like anything you put on the page would be fun. Trust me, you have to see them to know what I mean.

We also received chipboard letters, new brads and cute embellishments. Come by and pick them up before you go to your next crop.

Did you check out the card class for Feb? Not only are we making the 6 cards but also a "sweet" candy bar wrapper. I wanted to add something different. I'm having problems keeping the candy bar wrappers on the  candy bars. Dave keeps eating them.

Oh well, don't forget all Christmas themed items are 50% off until 31 Jan. There still is time to scap those Christmas pictures, and save at the same time.

We look forwad to see you soon.

What's New

For those who like to visit the independent owned scrapbook stores, check out the  just released book, Scrapbook Roads.  It lists store locations, directions. scrapbook tips and techniques, and even some discounts. I couldn't wait to see where the other stores are located and read about them. This is the first edition.  

Also, we just got in some new stuff I want to tell you about. Here are a few items, I'm not going to list them all basically because I didn't write it all down. <g>.

New York paper and embellishments

chipboard 12x12

we reordered John Deere tractor stickers (these always sell out), what's it about John Deere??

we've added to our school section

A bunch of new embellishments, Christmas, occupations, destination, etc

Brads, biggie brads, Christmas brads, material brads, etc.

Thanks to everyone who came by and purchased the completed Halloween pages. I had fun putting them together and I was glad to see so many people take advantage of getting the design done for the price of the supplies. I'm working on a fall and Thanksgiving double page layouts. Again, you can buy the pages done (just add pictures) or the kit (assemble yourself), for the price of the supplies. What a great time saver these are. {And fun}.

What's New

Here are a few new items I think are useful and you will enjoy especially if you just got back from the beach or still have school pictures to put in your scrapbook.

This is Stamping Station's Beach Kit. I love their papers and embellisments. The details are quite good. (We have limited quantities and will order a different style next time.) We want to keep the selection new.

We already have the school colors paper that is already very popular, but we wanted to expand the line so we ordered the school paper with the school name on them - very cool. Once you see them, I know you'll want them. Take a look.

Creating Keepsakes Mag Subscribers

Do you get the Creating Keepsakes magazine? If so, did you get The Essential Scrapbook Video Collection? If you did, you also received the 5 sampler card kit.  I don't need the cards, so I decided to make quick, easy scrapbook pages with them. It actually took me less than 1 hour to turn them into cute scrapbook pages, and it looks like I spent a lot of time on them. So, if you have them and want to use them in your scrapbook, bring them to the store Thursday, Friday (night- between 5 and 7pm) or Saturday (all day), and I will help you pick the coordinating paper and make them adorable pages. Don't throw them in a drawer or let them get lost in all your scrapbook stuff, do something with them now and when you need pages done, just add the pictures.

It's easy:

1. grab the card kits

2. bring them to the store

3. we will pick the coordinating paper and assemble the cards (doing it with someone is ALWAYS mrore fun) <grin>

4. w-a-l-a, you have five 2-12x12 page layouts done, and ready for pictures

5. It doesn't get easier than that!

Hope to see you soon!

Father's Day Accordian Album

I hope everyone had  a great Memorial Day holiday. I have to print my pictures and get them scrapped. I had a misfortune, I put my digital camera in my shorts pocket so I would have it close when a good picture opportunity came up. Unfortunately, when I went into the lake to push my grandson around in a tube I forgot to take it out of my pocket. ug! Needless to say, I now need a new digital camera.

Anyway, take a look at our Father's Day Accordian album. It is simple, quick, and fun to put together. You can buy the album and decorate it with paper, pictures, and embellishments OR you can buy the album already assembled and just add your pictures. Below is a sample of the pages or you can see the whole album in the gallery (link provided). Trust me on this, it is cute and quick.
