Holiday Gift Memory Albums

  

Hello Friends,

A note to share with you some of the Fall options.

I will be offering Photo/Memory Album making again this Fall. I know so many love scrapbook or photo albums but don’t have the time to make them for your family and friends…or know where to start. I have taught and made albums for over 20 years. I love being our family’s historian of special events!! And I love teaching and making albums for others to preserve their wonderful memories beautifully gathered in lovely albums to keep, share or give as priceless gifts of love to family and friends!!

 So with all the fun gift giving season coming soon, I have been asked to come back and offer my handmade scrapbook/photo album making services.

I supply the album, embellishments, specialty papers, page protectors and you supply your beautiful pictures and memorabilia!! All pages and supplies are photo safe/acid free. I also page protect each page for years and years of use and enjoyment.

Just contact me and we can determine the current wait time (the earlier the better…before the holiday rush). It usually takes me 2 weeks once all items have been received plus shipping time. I send all by priority mail.

Please see the details, prices and feel free to contact me with any questions.

Have a wonderful week in the Lord,

k

Project Life Is At Stampin’ Up!!

Hello Friends,

Stampin’ Up and Becky Higgins have joined together to bring Project Life to Stampin’ Up!! Woo Hoo!! I have recently gotten started in PL. I just love this easy peasy beautiful scrapbooking system!!! I taught scrapbooking for years and when I discovered this new style…well FUN!!!

I was purchasing at Hobby Lobby (a store I just love for their wonderful Christian stand!!) and I noticed everything was clearanced!! I ask the check out girl and she said they were discontinuing the line!! Well…I won’t lie…I LOVED the sale. I was truly heartbroken I couldn’t buy my Project Life at Hobby Lobby.

Now I spent quite allot of time checking into all the lines of this type of scrapbooking. And after a good deal of research…I really LOVE Becky Higgins line the best.  How wonderful she will partner with Stampin’ Up!!

Enjoy this introductory video and keep checking back in. The first release will come in May. Then the full line will come with the new catalog in June!! Woo Hoo!!!

Have a wonderful week…and happy papercrafting,

Cards Made Today For Giving…

Hello Dear Friends,

Here are a couple of cards I made today to give tomorrow!!

The first one is for a friend who recently broke her leg on a Segway!! She is truly amazing!! She had taken her grandchild into the city for a tour!! Bless her heart, she is an amazing woman, grandmother and friend!! She is very wise and if I know her…she will research to find out what she did wrong and when all healed…she will get back up on that horse and be touring again!!

The next card is for a very close family we have loved for years. One of their sons is going into the military and we are meeting them for his fair-well lunch after church tomorrow. We are excited to see him and sad to see him go. He is truly leaving the nest. So it was fun to make this card just for him.

So enjoy!!
