One more update. We just received in some American Crafts Rubons and coupons.

For every $5.00 in MiniMarks you purchase from the store, you receive a Sample Booklet with summer themed rubons and a 50 cent coupon off your next order of AC rubons!

You will receive a coupon code to use on your next order of rubons. This coupon is good until August 31st. MiniMarks packages are the smaller rubon books, like the Sidekicks and smaller alphabet rubons. This is not good on the larger books.

These sample booklets, as seen below, all come with an American Crafts rubon tool, one of the best out there.



So, check out our selection of rubons to get your coupon and sample pack today! We have a limited supply of the special rubon packs so hurry. All blog readers are the first to hear about this promotion. We will be sending out information to everyone on the Newsletter list next week.

2nd post of the day....

Just wanted to share a project I was working on for Fathers Day using the Extreme Boy paper line from Junkitz and the Brooke Peek a Book from Creative Imaginations. This book has many possibilities. I also took a class from a LSS here in town where they used their teal and honeydew papers and the same book. Very cute. I will post pictures of that project later.

Each page has a pull out where you can hide journaling or extra photos. This mini book is a must have!

ETA: Yes, that is my baby in the first picture. It was the 4D ultrasound we had done last month. Love the grumpy face - it just means he has MY personality! :)

More new things....

coming to the store in the near future. I can't say anything yet, but look for some announcements in the next month or so. Very exciting. I've been working all day on new ideas. This includes kits. You're going to see a bunch of new things debuting in the Stash kits in the coming months.
Very exciting!

I'll be posting some layouts and cards later!
Lots of pictures to post.............

Okay, here are some pictures from this weekend. My mom was busy making cards with her Petaloo products. If you haven't used these, you need too. Very easy, elegant cards in a snap. You can get really creative with them or just leave them plain with flowers.

Creativity

I've been on a roll lately. Trying to get some pictures scrapped that I've had printed for a few months. Got most of them on pages this weekend. Some need more work but here they are.....

Surprises for the store.....

We have some surprises coming up this month in the store. I will send out an update email in a few days with more information.

A new contest will be announced.....

More new product is on its way................

Exclusive Stash products will be offered soon...............

New Products this week....

The rest of our Making Memories Funky Vintage lines arrived. Love the papers.

Bam Pop! stamps and papers are also in stock.

If you haven't checked out Imagination Project yet, you need too. They have some different lines of papers. We're proud to carry their new 'office' inspired lines as well as their Playlist line. We just received a backorder or coasters from them. They make great embellishments for your pages or a cute mini album as seen on their blog a while ago. Coaster sizes are graduated and come with pre-punched holes.

Their Playlist line was highlighted on their blog a while back. Check out some of their projects using the funky papers.

Closer Look at Playlist

Get Ready to Rock

June Cards

I started working on the cards for my June Birthdays, Anniverysaries etc. Here are a few of them..........

That pink and black polka dot purse is made by Petaloo. Very cute!! Its a magnetic card in the shape of a purse with a sheer ribbon handle. Dress it up using the flowers from Petaloo Pink Poodle line or anything else! I added a message inside with rubons by American Crafts (love their rubons!)

7 Gypsies Travel Journal

So, while the rest of my family will be on a 2 week cruise this September, I'll be home with a new baby. It was a family cruise, but as the days go by, fewer of us are actually going. My cousin and her two kids can no longer go either. (Yeah! I'm not the only one.) I did finish their travel journals for the 2 girls. Since they would be missing school, their parents thought it would be a good idea for them to write down eveything they learned about the Hawaiian Islands.



Here is the journal made from a 7 Gyspies book, handles and papers. I also used Technique Tuesday stamps throughout the book, American Crafts Rubons, Bazzill cardstock, Heidi Swapp bling and more!

Petaloo Retro Rage

is now is stock!

Awesome browns, burgundys, greens and oranges to spice up any card or layout.

Extreme Boy by Junkitz

is here!

Love, Elsie is here. It will be loaded into the store as soon as I take inventory of the box.

ETA:

Love, Elsie Roxie and Toby are in stock!!!

Memorable moments....

An old friend of the family got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today. If anyone knows Stu Nahan, you know he's a total celebrity out here. For those of you who don't know him, he's been on the sports scene forever. He's a huge hockey fan (Kings fan), baseball fan etc. He's done radio and TV for so many years that he just knows EVERYONE! He's done movies (he's the announcer in the Rocky movies, Fast Times at Ridgemont High and more).

I love to read his little one page update in the Kings programs 'Stu Says' just to see what Stu will say about my team. He pretty much calls it like it is.

So, today, he got a star. We hiked up to Hollywood to see the ceremony which was very well done. Luc Robitaille was there. Pat Sajak was there. A lot of people were there to honor Stu.

I took this opportunity to get some contract negotiations in for the kid. Flash forward to 2026, I can hear it now......

"With their first round pick in the 2026 draft, the Los Angeles Kings chose..... (first name???) Weinstock." Thats right. My little hockey player drafted in 2026. :) I couldn't help myself.

Lots of funny stories and good memories.

Petaloo....

Here is just one idea of what you can do with the Petaloo Flowers. Love these things! They sell matching window cards and more that you can decorate with their flowers.

I used the Sunken Treasure line and rubons to personalize this card. Added some HS bling and sent it off! Took about 5 minutes to make. Not bad for a quick card!

Love, Elsie is still MIA but should be here any day. I'm stalking the UPS guy every day.

We also have another raffle winner, but I will wait to annouce who it is until the Love, Elsie lines arrive. Who could it be this time? have you placed an order with the store? Then it might be you!

Design Team Kits for May

Love, Elsie

HAS SHIPPED!
Should be here this week! If you haven't seen these papers and embellishments, you're going to love them!

Very cute and different.

Design Team kits

are now available in the store. Under Stash Kits on the left sidebar menu. The kit retails at 10% off the retail value of the items in the kit.

The April kits have been added already and the May kits will be available in another week. I need to give the girls time to add their layouts to the Gallery.

There are already some really neat ideas up so make sure you check it out! I was scanning through some of the layouts for May and found THIS little gem by Mandy. How cute is that? If you wait to buy the May kit, you receive 4 snowflakes in 4 different sizes. You can also buy the complete pack of snowflakes and you receive 16 showflakes. 4 sizes in 4 colors.

Here are some pictures of the April kits:
