We are very, VERY excited to announce to you today that we are bringing back our Project Kits, but with a BIG twist! This time around, we are focusing on the part you guys loved the most, the tags! When we did the kits last year, we had a ton of emails asking about being able to purchase just the exclusive tags in the kit – because most of you already had a stash at home and wanted something to go with that stash and make it new again! So, we are thrilled to announce that each month you’ll be able to purchase an exclusive and limited edition set of tags to do just that!

The best part about these kits is that it will work for you, no matter what you enjoy making! The kit will include tags that you can use for layouts, mini books, cards, and of course, Project Life. You’ll get a mix of tags that you will not find anywhere else, or in any of our collections. Most tags will be tags you can use for everyday themes, and there will even be some seasonal and monthly tags in the mix, too! Each month look for a mix of sizes and shapes, and anywhere from around 20 to 25 tags – the perfect amount to keep you busy all month long!

Each month, the limited edition kits will go on sale on the 10th at 8:00 am PST, at our website. Our very first kit goes live this Friday, May 10th! These kits will be able to ship first class: shipping for USA residents will start around $1.70 and go up from there, depending on the weight of what is in your cart. For overseas, it will run about $6+ depending on your location. Kits will ship out the following business day, in the order they were received. Depending on the amount ordered, it could take us up to 3 business days to ship your kit.

As a special bonus, when you purchase the kit on the 10th, you’ll also receive a discount! These kits are limited, so mark your calendars now, you won’t want to miss launch day. To make sure you don’t miss a kit, please join our newsletter list, because these kits are limited, once they sell out we will NOT be restocking.

P.S. At this time, we are not taking subscriptions, but that will allow you to purchase on a month-to-month, as needed basis!

Everyday Storyteller 2 is brand new idea book offering more than 100 tips, tricks, and techniques for scrapbooking.  Go behind the scenes with 33 of your favorite memory keepers to see how they capture moments, tell stories and document their best memories.

Everyday Storyteller 2 is NOW AVAILABLE!  I super excited to share that I am a contributor to Everyday Storyteller 2.   In my article I discuss the idea of merging Project Life with traditional scrapbooking. Considering Project Life is my main method of memory keeping, I wanted to be able to still include traditional layouts within my Project Life album.  My article explores different ways to make this possible.   

Everyday Storyteller 2 will offer you endless inspiration and ideas from 33 different memory keepers.  I hope you join us and check out this fabulous book here!

Spring Fashion by Shannon Tidwell inspired today’s sketch. Check out her amazing layout in the DT gallery!

I love how Shannon used the big floral paper and challenged myself to use it as well. I cut out two sets of flowers and layered them with pop dots.

For the background, the lovely stripes paper worked perfectly! I then added different tags, stamps and bits & pieces to finish it off.
