This week, I finally reached 100 Followers on Bloglovin’ – whoo hoo! I’ve been at 99 FOR-EH-VURRRR. Ha ha, it just makes me smile :) So *THANK YOU* 100th Bloglovin’ Follower, whoever you are!
There’s a scrappy novel on sale for Kindle HERE. It’s part of a series; you can see all the books HERE.
The Project Life app I talked about HERE is now available! It’s getting rave reviews on the scrapbook message boards. You can get it HERE. Really helpful FAQs from Becky are HERE. It’s only $2.99 and includes some of the Project Life card designs; you can buy others for a reasonable cost. I can’t wait to play with it! How about you?
Here are the Fall 2014 Pantone colors as shared by October Afternoon:
I kinda’ like them. I can see some really pretty color combos in there – like Aluminum + Royal Blue + Misted Yellow. What do you think of this season’s Pantone colors?
I know some Project Lifers used “Oh Life” to keep track of daily photos and journaling, so I wanted to share this e-mail about them shutting down:
We’ll unfortunately be shutting OhLife down on October 4, 2014.
We started OhLife to help people remember what’s happened in their life. But since then we haven’t been able to grow our user base or make OhLife financially stable. Because of both these reasons we’ve decided to shut OhLife down. We appreciate everyone that’s used OhLife and supported us.
We’re extremely sorry for shutting the site down.
We have some FAQs below to help out. Thank you for all your support.
Thank you,
The OhLife Team
How do I export my entries?
You can save your entries to a text file here: https://ohlife.com/export
Please export them before we shut down and delete them on October 4, 2014.
How do I save photos?
The Past page (https://ohlife.com/past) has a list of all your entries, so you can quickly scroll through them to find your photos. If you click a photo it will take you to the original version.
What if I had a premium account?
If you had the premium version, a few weeks after we shut OhLife down we’ll refund you a prorated amount.
I signed up for Oh Life but never really got into using it. {I have online privacy issues, LOL}. But it seemed like a service of great value to scrapbookers and I’m sorry to see them go :(
Did you use Oh Life to do your Project Life journaling? If not, what other service or method do you use?
Remember when I told you HERE that the Project Life 60-Pack of Design A page protectors were only $8.36 (reg. $30)???
Well, I was just placing an Amazon order {no, not for scrappy stuff, smart ayshe – I need some new transcribing headphones – sheesh}, and I noticed the price on the page protectors had gone down yet AGAIN! They are an unbelievable $6.90 right now. You can get them here: Becky Higgins Photo Pocket Pages – Big Pack of Design A (60 Pages)
If you haven’t used pocket pages or Design A in particular yet, I highly recommended them. They are my “go to” page protector for Project Life pages and for all my other pocket page scrapbooking (vacations, sports seasons, and such). I mainly take horizontal photos anyway and, with the occasional vertical photo, I print 2 of them on a 4×6 (so each pic is 3×4). Then I put that in a 4×6 horizontal slot or I cut it in half and put each photo in a vertical 3×4 slot. Hope that makes sense . . .
Anyway, that’s an amazingly good deal and – it was SO weird – but 2 of those just jumped in my Amazon cart with the headphones. Soooo strange, hee hee. Hey, it added like $15 total since shipping with Prime is free. So I got 2 boxes for HALF the price of 1 box. It did my stingy little black scrappy heart so good!
Speaking of Amazon and Project Life, they also have the SEAFOAM CORE KIT for only $11.09 right now (reg. $30) with free Prime shipping.
I’d heard it was down to $9.25 yesterday but I didn’t act fast enough and missed it! A lot of the other Project Life Core Kits are on sale, too, starting at around $9. Amazon’s prices fluctuate day to day, which is sometimes good and sometimes bad – but that’s why I check them pretty often. Don’t want to miss an amazing deal, LOL!
Heya! I just got this e-mail from Lain Ehman who does True Scrap (and makes 6-figures in the scrapbooking industry on her own, by the way . . . so she’s an idol of mine).
Anyhoo, I wanted to share it ‘cuz I know you love reading about scrappy things as much as I do. She and the instructors from True Scrap 6 have a fun little KINDLE BOOK available! {What’s True Scrap 6? Read my blog entry here}.
Something cool to tell you about! The True Scrap 6 instructors and
I have just released an e-book on Amazon that shares some of our
best tips for motivation and inspiration in your scrapbooking. It’s
called “Profiles in Scrapbooking,” and it’s available as a Kindle
download for F-R-E-E for a limited time!
Regularly $2.99, this short volume includes profiles from each of
the True Scrap 6 instructors, where we talk about our tips for
breaking through those stagnant times, new discoveries about our
own crafting, and more!
If you don’t have a Kindle or other e-reader, don’t despair. You don’t actually need one to download and read Kindle books. I *know*, right?!? You just need a computer, smartphone, or tablet and use the Kindle app. You can download that and find all the info RIGHT HERE on Amazon.
Just a note: At the end of the book, there’s a coupon code to save $20 off True Scrap 6 which is held in mid-October. But if you click the link above to my blog entry about TS6, there’s a coupon code there for the same amount (if you don’t want to read my scintillating post, here ya’ go: use HERO by 10-10-14 to save $20).
I just downloaded my copy. Guess I know what I’m doing at lunchtime today! Happy Scrappy Reading :)
I talked about this line a bit HERE but it was early days and there wasn’t much to go on. Now I’m happy to say I have a better look at Shimelle’s new line to share with you!
First of all, the items that I ordered from her scrapbooking line FINALLY arrived and – no surprise – I totally love them.
I got the 12×12 paper pad, the Accent and Phrase Stickers, and the tape dispenser (I added the washi tape; it does NOT come with it). The paper is nice and thick cardstock weight. The stickers are cardstock weight as well and have some gold foiling on them. Be aware they have the white backing or outline to them, so if you don’t like that – don’t get these.
The die cuts I received from a Scrappy Angel who posted them as a Pay It Forward and I LOVE them! I believe it’s about half of the pack.
I also wanted to share a YouTube video I found that shows the entire Project Life “Lovely” line by Shimelle:
https://youtu.be/5W_JjupKg1s
Isn’t it awesome! And that girl loves <3 hearts <3 as much as I do, LOL!
The colors and designs in this line are just what I was hoping for. I love the mix of pastels with darker colors AND black/white.
First, I need to order the Project Life “Lovely” mini kit. Then I think I’m going to use the whole shebang on my summer vacation album. I have a mix of photos – beach, baseball games, winery, and lots of outdoor shots.
I was wondering how to find a line that would look good with the pastels and turquoise of the beach, the red and blue of the baseball games, and all the bright green of the nature shots. I think this line will be just, well, LOVELY!
PS: Re-reading my past “Lovely” entry that I linked to in the beginning . . . reminded me to look on Amazon for the Lovely kit. {I’m an Amazon-a-holic, just love to get Prime when I can & their customer service is so great}.
Well, I didn’t find the Lovely kit (yet) but Amazon does have the PROJECT LIFE “DAZZLE” MINI KIT I referred to back then.
They also have the NEW PROJECT LIFE VALUE KITS that I talked about HERE. “Hi, Sunshine” is already in my cart. Ruh-roh, I think I’m about to get in lots of trouble over there . . . ;)
Check out THIS fun news article, video, and photos from the Standard Examiner highlighting the Simple Stories brand.
If you don’t have time to read the entire article right now, allow me to highlight this part:
And those interested in Crowell’s products don’t have to walk row by row in a craft store to find them.
They may visit www.simplestories.com or visit the company’s store front where it showcases Simple Stories products as well as products for a few other companies.
Interested consumers may visit the store, located at 640 W. 1100 South, Suite 1 in Business Depot Ogden and easily find the products without having to look through the many selections at larger outlet stores.
Open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, the store offers at a quick glance all the creative work Crowell and her now more than a dozen employees do all year long.
Those who want to shop for bargains may attend the company’s warehouse sale next Friday, Sept. 12, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday, Sept. 13, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
For information, call the company at 801-737-3242.
Yep, Simple Stories is having a warehouse sale! I don’t recall them having one in the past unless I missed it. Here are the only 2 reasons I won’t be going:
1. I already own most of their lines (eep!).
2. Their warehouse is a 12-hour drive from my house. Why, yes, I *did* Google map it! Just in case, ya’ know ;)
But if you live anywhere near Ogden, Utah, you should totally go!
I’ve met Amber (and her husband, Kevin) and she is TOTALLY as sweet as she looks in that photo! Their whole staff is amazing, too – just the nicest people. I’m so happy for them all.
Congratulations to Simple Stories and here’s to their continued success!
I first heard about this a couple of weeks ago from my dear scrapbook friend, MISS ANGIE.
Who heard from the manager of her Tuesday Morning store that they had a new buyer who is a CRAFTER and that we could expect their crafting section to expand. She was said to be tenacious and was seeking out new suppliers of crafting supplies.
And we rejoiced.
To confirm that the rumor seems to be true, lookie what just landed in my inbox:
BLADOW!
And the scrappers all over America who live in smaller areas and have no LSS, Joann, or Hobby Lobby and not only just a Michaels but a small, slow-to-get-new-stuff Mike’s DID A HAPPY DANCE to hear this news.
Yes, they did. {Can you see me dancing from there? I’m doing the Cabbage Patch, a little bit o’ Running Man, oh no, now I’m booty poppin’ and twerking . . . join me, won’t you?}
I’ll keep my fingers crossed that “crafts” includes a lot of “scrapbooking”. From recent Tuesday Morning scouting reports I’ve read online, the scrapbook offerings lately have been pretty dang awesome – newer lines for great prices.
If you’re happy about this as well, PLEASE find Tuesday Morning on your choice of social media and thank them – I’m off to Tweet them myself. Let’s show them what a nice little band of shoppers we are and what a good move this was (wink wink).
TRUE SCRAP 6 opens for general registration today: 09-09-14!
I’ve attended several True Scrap events in the past and swear by them, fo’ sho’. If you want to read some of my reviews, you can see past blog entries HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE. My favorite online scrapbook class EVER was from True Scrap 3 – read that review HERE.
There are 2 changes this time I wanted to tell you about – as requested by past attendees: A shorter event and a smaller price!
This year’s event has been reduced to 1 day instead of 2 (all day Saturday 10-18-14) with a virtual PJ party the night before where you just hang out online and chat with other attendees from around the world. It’s a smaller event (8 classes and 3 virtual make-and-takes), with a correspondingly smaller price point that many asked for.
On top of THAT, I have a discount code for you that’s good from 09-09 through 10-10-14: Type HERO in the box and save $20. Woot! I’m ALL about saving money where we can . . . ‘cuz that means we can spend the savings on scrapbook supplies, right?
Using the discount code takes the price from $99 down to $79 – or from $12 to under $10 per class. As I always say about Lain’s classes, that’s a real bargain compared to in-person classes at your LSS (do you even have one anymore? I don’t.) or other online classes.
If you’re waffling a bit about registering, please keep in mind that the webroom only holds 500 people. A bunch of seats have already been sold because they’re first offered to members of ScrapHappy (Lain’s membership site), and then she did Early Bird Sign-ups for those on her mailing list.
Oh jeez, I haven’t even said what True Scrap 6 *is* yet, have I?
Well, it’s an online scrapbook event put on by Lain Ehmann – she’s done 8 or 10 of these now and has it down to a science. TS6 ncludes the following classes:
Tracy Banks: Layering: Punch It, Roll It, Make It Yours
Kelli Crowe – Saw This, Made That: Bringing Ideas to Life
Jennifer Gallacher – Mood-Based Scrapbooking: An Inspirational Guide
Noell Hyman – Small Details, Big Picture
Katrina Kennedy: Capture Your Celebrations – Photographing Food, Family, And Fun
Layle Koncar – Flip It, Score It, Make It, Shake It!: Innovative, Interactive Mini Book Techniques
Nichol Magouirk – From Pocket to Page: Pocket Cards for 12×12 Layouts
Donna Salazar – Mixed Media Masterpieces Using Crafty Supplies
For more detail on the classes, you can click HERE and scroll down.
As always, each class sounds so interesting. I’m especially looking forward to those by Noell Hyman (going through a month of photos and deciding which to do layouts with and which to use Project Life, essentially) and Katrina Kennedy (photographing celebrations and other things I find challenging due to low-light, etc. – and I have a new camera!). Nichol Magouirk’s sounds good, too – Lordy knows I have a gatrillion PROJECT LIFE CARDS to use! {It’s been over a year since that entry and it’s gotten well and truly worse, ack!}
While their topics don’t super-intrigue me, I may take Kelly Crowe and Layle Koncar’s classes just because they’re both such a hoot! If you guys attended True Scrap Pocket Pages, you remember how fun Layle was from Simple Stories (and she gave away a Simple Stories prize, which I’m hoping she does again!). What I have found from taking entire True Scrap events is that classes that don’t interest me at all ‘on paper’ end up being some of my favorites. “True Scrap is like a box of chocolates. You just never know what you’re going to get.” Hee.
I’m still deciding if I’ll sign up or not. I didn’t get on the Early Bird mailing list in time, therefore no 30% discount on the price. And I’m not a ScrapHappy member anymore either so I don’t get that discount. I’ve really had to cut my scrappy spending lately :(
A month or so after Lain’s events, she usually puts the classes for sale “a la carte” so I may just wait for that and buy the specific classes I want. But if they end up being $10-12 each x the number of classes I want, it might add up to $79-ish anyway . . . bah! If I DO end up doing the entire TS6 event, I’ll make sure to post some reviews of the classes to help you decide which ones you may want to buy. We shall see . . .
Are you going to attend “True Scrap 6” or perhaps buy some a la carte classes later? If you do sign up now, don’t forget to use the code HERO to save $20. You can register (or just check out all the info) RIGHT HERE.
– So love to see our scrappy girl ELSIE making waves in the big world!
– Time for Lain’s free September scrapinar. Just click here for more details and sign up, if you like. If you can’t make the scrapinar time, you’ll get a free replay to watch at your leisure – but you have to register beforehand.
– Have you seen these YEARBOOK PRINTABLES by Project Life? What a fun and easy yearbook you could make for thuh kiddo!
1. HSN.com will have some scrapbooking shows on starting either tonight or tomorrow, depending upon your time zone. I’m in PST and the first show is 09-01-14 at 11pm. HERE is the program guide.
2. If you like to stock up on the Big Pack of Design A (60 Pages) for Project Life or pocket page scrapping, there is a killer deal on them right now. I last paid $30 for these but as of now they’re only $8.36 and free shipping with Prime. Hurry, Amazon changes their prices with no notice!
3. A last reminder to check out the Labor Day Weekend scrapbook shopping deals I posted HERE. There’s still time to shop!

– Lisa at “Blackbird Darlin'” blog is making a Project Life album in 6×8. Check out her progress HERE.

Crate Paper “Boyz Rule”
Crate Paper “Flea Market”
Crate Paper “Oh Darling”
Craft Smith “Boardwalk Sherbet”
Craft Smith “Pattern Medley”
Craft Smith “Nautical”
Craft Smith “Little One”
All but “Nautical” have 48 sheets so that’s a mere 14 cents per sheet. And note that these are the full 12×12 pads, NOT the 8.5 x 11 “Hot Buy” pads you may have already seen at Michaels.
PS: Do you like to use flair on your scrapbooking pages, Project Life, etc.? Yeah, me too! Well, go check out Glorie’s site. She makes and sells scrapbook flair of many kinds and will even do custom orders! She doesn’t know I’m telling you, hee hee. But I wanted to send some traffic her way in thanks for always sharing fun photos from her shopping excursions :)
ETA 01-22-15: I see that Amazon now has most if not all of the Project Life Value Kits, even some not listed below. You can get them HERE
This is post 3 of 3 about the new Project Life products coming out. If you missed them, see the other 2 posts HERE and HERE.
The new kits are:
Live Brightly
Hi, Sunshine
Boys Rule
Odds & Ends
Peace, Love & Sunshine
DIY Shop
My faves are:
Hi, Sunshine
Odds & Ends
Also, spotted at Hobby Lobby, some recently introduced Project Life Value Kits – “Good Times”, “Enjoy Life”, and “Super Cute:
I like these smalluh kits for smalluh dolluhs.
Thanks again Heather for taking and sharing all your scouting photos with us! I live in a Scrapbook Desert where they must deliver the new stuff on camels. And my only store is Michaels.
Someday, we will live in a world where EVERY scrapper will have a 30-minutes or less driving time to an LSS, Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and Tuesday Morning. Are ya’ with me!?!?
Until then, I really count on lovely friends like Heather to be my photo supplier :)
HERE is post 1 of 3 where I talked about all the new Project Life things coming our way. Now onto post 2 of 3 and it’s time for Shimelle . . .
Have I told you how much I want Shimelle’s new scrapbooking line? Oh yeah, I did RIGHT HERE. Well, I’ve ordered some but it’s taking FOR-EH-VURRRR to get here so I haven’t fondled it – ahem – SEEN it in person yet. But I know I’m going to LURVE it.
I got the 12×12 paper pad, the camera washi tape dispenser, and . . . some embellishment – stickers? It’s beens so long, I forgot. {I don’t think I’ll be ordering from this shop again}.
Shimelle said on her blog HERE that there would be matching Project Life cards coming so I purposely didn’t order too much of the line, knowing I’d be getting the PL kit.
So I guess “Lovely” is it? Not sure when or where it will be sold.
Again, I found this on an overseas website:
Shimelle used some of the PL cards in this layout:
Not much to go on yet, but looks cute so far. It appears to be based on THIS line from Jen Hadfield called “Home + Made” and it has a lot of gold so maybe that’s where the “Dazzle” comes from?
It’s not really my style but maybe you love it?
I don’t see either of these kits in Becky’s shop or on her blog, but maybe I’m missing them? Just wanted to make sure you had the heads up :) Happy shopping!
Okay, guys, I’m trying to keep up with this whirlwind of new PROJECT LIFE product – either out now or coming soon. There has been a lot of chatter about it online. I’ll be doing this post and a couple more to make sure you see it ALL.
A shout out to my bud Heather, who first shared photos she found online of new lines “Lovely” by Shimelle (see THIS entry for more info) and “Favorite Things” by Heidi Swapp.
Heidi has teamed up with Becky for MANY new Project Life items. You can read about them and see photos HERE and HERE on Becky’s blog. And check out this video if you have time. I’m sorry, but they are both just so dang likable!
The Heidi Swapp line is ‘exclusive’ to Michaels and also being carried in Becky’s own shop. My favorite item from the Heidi Swapp line for Project Life is the “Dreamy” Core Kit
. . . which is one of my all-time favorite scrapbooking lines.
I did hear a rumor that some of the HS cards are not double sided and not horizontal so they’ll be harder to use in the PL pocket pages DESIGN A that I prefer to use. Anyone know if that’s true?
Again, shout out to Heather who took photos at Michaels!
As you can see, there are a lot of OTHER new HS items, too. I’m not sure if they’re technically “Project Life”? I think so because Heidi has them all listed together on her WEBSITE.
I’ll be stalking Michaels to find that Heidi Swapp “Dreamy” core kit and snap it up with my coupon! Usually I just buy partial PL kits from friends online but I need to see this one in person and go through the whole thing before I decide how much of it I want. But I’ll probably sell at least some of it off.
So glad to see the collab between Heidi and Becky. As you saw in the video, they’ve been friends for a long time and bring totally different things to our scrapbooking world, both of which I love. Congrats ladies!
I’ve been waiting for more specific news and it appears the time has come! I saw this on Twitter tonight from @BeckyHigginsLLC:
Guess what? The #ProjectLifeApp isn’t just for square pages. We will help you with those 4×6 prints too
Want to put several images on a 4×6 print? No more tutorials! Just do it in the soon-to-come #ProjectLifeApp!
PS – My everyday handwriting font is built into the #ProjectLifeApp as a font option. We whipped that up especially for the app.
You can see more about the “coming soon” Project Life app on Becky’s blog right HERE. One of my favorite quotes from that page is this:
Oh – and the journaling? If you have Siri on your iPhone, you can even add the journaling that way! Ummmmm… yessss!!! That’s one of my favorite features. Thank you Apple for that beautiful technology!
OH MY!
Becky and the gang just made this Project Life scrapper and iPhone owner a VERY happy girl! The ability to:
1. Do photo collages you can easily print right from your phone, even including a journaling card.
2. Journal onto PL cards . . . from your phone . . . using Siri . . . while you’re waiting in the car pool line – or just want to get memories down while they’re fresh.
3. Use Becky’s handwriting as a font – which I love!
What do you think? Are you excited about the new “Project Life” iPhone app?!?!?
Check out these preview videos of brand new lines from BLUE MOON SCRAPBOOKING – lots of yumminess to follow. Get out yer drool cup!
“Stitched” by Amy Tangerine for American Crafts due in September 2014
Okay, I’m not into the stitching thing AT ALL. Ain’t nobody got time for that! But I love the rest of her line. Those Thickers especially are going to break my budget.
“Serendipity” by Dear Lizzy for American Crafts due in November 2014
Very girly and I love her handwriting!
Any my personal favorite, “Open Book” by Maggie Holmes for Crate Paper (release date unknown)
Love this whole line! Maggie has a special talent for putting together such a variety of images that you wouldn’t think would go together . . . yet they do. That paper pad will be mine for sure.
While I was checking out Blue Moon’s videos of “coming soon” stuff, I found this video of Webster’s Pages “Ocean Melody” (second half of video).
I’ve been hearing everyone online raving about it but hadn’t seen the whole collection yet. Honestly, I was kind of avoiding it, LOL. I live near the ocean and we go all the time – hence, I have lots of beach photos. I knew I would want it if i dared to look.
For instance, we were just at the beach last evening – here are some of the many iPhone photos I took:
So I KNEW I would love and want the entire “Ocean Melody” line.
And I love it.
And I want it.
ALL.
Crud.
Wouldn’t that vellum called “Dusk” go perfectly with my recent photos?
At the beginning of the video, they also show “Strawberry Fields” which is lovely as well. It’s not my style as much as the “Ocean Melody” but I definitely want a few sheets of that bokeh and other papers.
BLUE MOON SCRAPBOOKING has both Webster’s Pages lines in stock now. Of course, they’ll stock the new Amy Tangerine, Dear Lizzy, and Maggie Holmes lines when released as well. I’m headed over there to shop . . . if I don’t come out in an hour, send help!
There are also some great products by WRMK on sale. You can use them in regular scrapping but they’re also perfect for Project Life-type scrapbooking.
This corner rounder 3×4 punch is perfect for making quick and easy pocket-page scrapping cards of your own. I’ve heard of people using them to punch all of their scraps. Great idea! You get rid of that paper scraps pile that makes you feel guilty every time you look at it, and you end up with a stack of 3×4 rounded cards out of papers that you obviously love. You can also use this punch on your photos.
Earlier this week, they were down to $14.99 but even at $22.10 and adding one other product to get that $35, the free shipping is still a good deal. A pack of 50 page protectors is pretty heavy and I doubt you can find free shipping on that at many other places.
Finally, check out this great price on the WRMK Multi-Pack!
They’re an Add-On item which means you have to make another purchase but I hope I’ve provided enough enabling above to make that easy ;) If you’re a pocket-page scrapper like me – or have been wanting to give it a try – check out this great Project Life and WRMK sale on AMAZON!
ETA 07-27-14: Whoo hoo, an even better deal on the Multi-Pack!
As you know, Amazon prices fluctuate sometimes by the minute so get over there and catch a deal before it’s gone :)
PS: Have you heard how AMERICAN CRAFTS is buying up a lot of other scrapbooking companies? Yep, since 2009 they’ve acquired Pebbles Inc, Imaginesce, Pink Paislee, Heidi Swapp, Bazzill, and WRMK and have licensing deals for Project Life and Studio Calico.
Anyhoo, the concern that always comes up among scrappers chatting online is whether the quality of the existing products we know and love will continue. Will Bazzill cardstock continue to be thick, have lovely colors, and a variety of textures (especially since American Crafts already has their own brand of cardstock)?
As someone who faithfully uses WRMK 12×12 “leather” albums, I worry that the quality of these amazing albums will change now that American Crafts has aquired them. And I’m not alone; there’s been somewhat of a buying frenzy of existing WMRK albums “just in case” the quality starts to go sideways. It’s like we’re preparing for a SCRAPOCOLYPSE!
If that’s a worry of yours too, I wanted to point out that Amazon also has the WRMK 12×12 albums in several colors on sale. They normally run $29.99 and the sale prices range (at this exact minute) from $17.99 for Aqua, $20.99 for Charcoal, etc. {Ooooh, Aqua and Charcoal …. don’t those colors look great together?? I can picture them lined up on my bookshelf. Puuurrrdddyyyy. Oh shoot, sidetracked – sorry!}
K, I’m really leaving now. I just thought of the WRMK album thing and it made this post really long – ha! Hey, at least it’s Sunday. Hopefully, you have a few extra minutes today :)
I recently noticed that the SMASH book
I had stored in a basket by a sunny window in my office had been damaged. As you can see, not only did the black and white rubber band get discolored and degraded, the sun also left a mark on the chipboard part of the SMASH book cover :(
From the same basket, I pulled out the package of light blue bands to replace the ruined one with. Lo and behold, the bands inside the package were discolored, too. So, just a warning if you have SMASH products like this: Keep them away from the sun! Lesson learned.
Speaking of SMASH book products, my Michaels has a new section of them.
Looks like they’re really going after the teen market, which is supah smart and I feel like the ‘ideal customer’ for SMASH books. They have a “My Life: School Edition” and “My Life: After School Edition” which are both really cute. And check out the cloth tapes in the middle of the second pic. The pink chevron was adorable.
Since I’m talking about Michaels, I should let you know that the last time I was there, their Project Life stuff was on clearance.
