Scrapbook USA Expo

Labels: , , - Wednesday, March 25, 2009


Last weekend Scribble Scrabble exhibited at the Scrapbook USA Expo (in Sandy, UT) for the first time, and we had a great experience! It was so much fun meeting and visiting with hundreds of scrapbook enthusiasts. I taught four "VIP" classes, did a couple of demos (the cake boxes), and even did 3 different TV interviews...I was busy and on my feet almost the whole time! So, of course, I came home tired, but very happy to have been part of that event!
Anyway, thought I'd share some pics of our booth and some of the fun projects we had on display.
BTW, that's my 17 year old son in the booth picture---he was a trooper and helped from 6am to midnight on Friday. What a guy!

Lovin' It!

- Tuesday, February 17, 2009

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.

Say Hello To Carmen!

- Tuesday, January 13, 2009

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!

Here's Ruth!

- Monday, January 12, 2009


This is a peek at the second of our three new 2009 product releases: Ruth's Collection.
Feminine, flirty, and a bit old-fashioned--these designs inspired me to name the collection after my grandma Ruth. Oh yes, and lavender! Lavender vases, lavender walls, lavender, lavender, everywhere--a color I will always associate with Grandma. :)
Ruth's patterns also have a fabric look.
I hope you enjoy some of my creations with this collection, and get inspired to make some of your own!





Leave a comment and get a chance to win Ruth's Collection. I'll post the winner along with the winners of Evelyn's Collection on January 19.
TFL!

Introducing Evelyn's Collection!

Labels: , , , - Friday, January 9, 2009


I designed and named this brand new collection after my sister and best friend, Evelyn. The patterns are cheerful, colorful, a little bit retro—and very fun to combine! The designs also have the textured look of fabric, which is something I love.
Below are photos of some projects and layouts featuring Evelyn’s Collection. If you like what you see, and would like a chance to win a full collection of your own, leave a comment. I’ll do a random drawing and post the names of the winners on January 19—so please check back and email me if you win!





Sneak-A-Peek at some "Pretty Pieces"

Labels: , , , - Wednesday, January 7, 2009

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!
