Scribble Me This

I just had to show off these latest creations by Stephanie Garbett. She is so creative and does such beautiful work! These three projects of hers feature our Lullaby Of Birdland collection.

I'm sure you'll enjoy them too!

I've been a little strapped for time lately, but just HAD to do a few projects with our new collections! When time is limited and my creativity in a lull, I tend to turn to the wonderful creations of others for inspiration. In fact, I believe one of the best ways to learn how to scrapbook is to model your own layouts after ones you've seen and loved. And thanks to all the excellent magazines, idea books, and online galleries, inspiration is never far away!

Well, it's time again to show off our newest collections! This time around we did three. Hope you enjoy these previews. I hope to get some time to play with them!

"Jeepers Creepers" Collection (6 12X12 double-sided patterned papers and 2 12X12 diecut sheets):

"Party Time" Collection (4 12X12 double-sided patterned papers & 2 diecut sheets):

I’d like to share a few more projects using Carmen’s Collection. It’s been so fun for me to see what our DT members have recently created with the new products—and I’ve continued to play around myself.

The fist layout is one I created. When I was looking through some “to be scrapped” photos, I came across this wonderful portrait of my maternal grandmother with her two oldest daughters (the younger one being my mom). I just love the photo--especially the colorization.

The next project was created by Lisa Dale. She made this cute pencil holder to use in her classroom.

And the final layout is by Jane Davies. What a wonderful picture! And I love the scalloped outside edge!
Thanks for looking---I hope you are taking some time to be creative.

Well, it’s really excellent that many of our customers (retailers) are asking us when they can order our new products…but, I said, “I need to finish my sneak peeks first!” So, speeding things along, here’s my final peek at our third new set of paper and diecuts: Carmen’s Collection.
Unlike the other two collections, Carmen’s does not have a namesake. It’s just a name I’ve always loved and evokes thoughts of drama, love, good humor, and passion, (like the opera, minus the tragedy).
Please have a look at some of my Carmen’s projects, and remember to comment if you want to be in the random drawing for this collection.
Remember, I’ll post the names of all the winners on January 19---here on the blog.
Thanks for all your positive comments! I hope you’ll mention Scribble Scrabble to the scrapbook stores you patronize so we can get our products out there and available!
Have a great day!

I’ve been busy, busy, busy making projects with the three new collections we’re introducing at the Winter ’09 CHA show in a couple of weeks!
We’re not quite ready to show off EVERYTHING from our new lines, but I did want to share this project to give you a sense of the fun colors and designs of our new products.
I filled this cute window box full of diecut flowers from each of the 3 collections. Each collection has a 12X12 “Pretty Pieces” diecut sheet which includes bunches of sweet flowers and a few other decorative accents. The title on the front of the box is from another set of our diecuts (“Scribbled Sentiments”). I taped the flowers to some thin floral wire and poked them down into some foam and glued on a few buttons here and there to add dimension.
I love how all the colors and patterns create such a cheerful display!
Some of our new patterned paper also shows through behind the windows of the box. I have to say the paper in these collections is my favorite so far…I’ll be showing it off soon, so check back often!
Also, check back if you’d like to win one of our new collections, because we’ll be doing a contest very soon as well as more sneak peeks!
