Follow Your Heart: Be Amazing & Be Happy

If you love embellishments, like I do,  then My Mind’s Eye is the perfect scrapbooking line for you.  Using one of their newest lines – Follow Your Heart: Be Amazing, the Design Team has created some fabulous pages, cards and  altered items.  With 12 different double-sided papers in blues, browns, whites and golds and prints including strips, checks and my favorite -- hexagons, there’s sure to be something that appeals to you.    Several of the pages have cute designs and inspiring messages like a bicycle that says “Be the Best You Can Be,”  music with “Listen to Your Soul “ and kites with “You Fly, You Soar.”

And if the beautiful papers are not inspiring enough, there’s chipboard, brads, buttons, twine and rhinestones in matching colors.    I used pages from the matching 6” x 6” paper pad in two of my creations.  The paper is the exact same as the regular paper, except everything is half as big.

With these coordinating papers and embellishments, creating a stunning page is cinch.   Get inspiration from the Design Team projects to make your unique pages or just scraplift one of ours.   All are available at the store with the supplies you’ll need. It’s easy to create great cards and pages so don’t delay, get started today.

Scrapbooks-Plus also carries the Be Happy line of Follow Your Heart, which features pinks, peaches, and greys.  The Be Happy line includes the same wonderful embellishments.  Check these out while you’re at the store.

Family Photos Make and Take -- March 30

Take advantage of today’s Make and Take and you’ll have a two-page layout featuring family pictures done in no time. This layout uses BoBunny’s Timepiece collection, which features a variety of products in browns, maroons and black that highlight the passing of time. Using paper, buttons, chipboard and stickers, I created space for four pictures that can show the generations of your family – either showcasing your family’s history or scrapping today’s generations for the ones that will come. The other advantage is that although the layout includes many different textures, colors and embellishments it does not include complicated techniques. You only need to ink a couple of items with black ink, cut and glue. It can’t get much easier than this. As with all Make and Takes, buy the items you need to make this page and you will get the instructions and an element needed for the page free of charge. Another great reason to come on Wednesday is that you can print the coupon from the web site and get 40% off of one item (subject to a few exceptions). This coupon is only good on Wednesday so make it a point to stop by the store on Wednesday. If you can’t make it on Wednesday, you can check later in the week to see if the supplies are still available.

Sneak Peek

Have you ever fell in love with a paper line and wanted to display it for everyone to see? I find that more and more I want to display the beautiful patterned paper that ScrapbookPlus carries. This summer I am planning to teach a workshop on making magnetic photo collage displays that are covered with your favorite scrapbook paper. It is a great way to display your favorite photos AND your favorite papers. This makes a great gift or room decoration.
