Poems For a Page

Most people know that there is a cancer walk called the Relay For Life and of course there is the Susan G. Komen Walk For the Cure for breast cancer but there are many other walks for cancer. Our family started participating in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Light the Night walk each year after we lost our mom to Lymphoma last year. Regardless of which walk you participate in, It Takes Two has a Poem For a Page that is perfect for those pictures from cancer walks. It's called I Believe in a Cure and it really touched my heart when I read it. Here are a few lines from it...

I walk because I care.
I walk to honor those who no longer can.
I run because it's one small thing I can do
to make a difference.
I can give someone the courage to go on.

This is just one of the poems that I recently added to the store so be sure to stop in and check it out. I will also be adding a new kit using their Cancer Awareness paper so be watching for it!

That's it for now...time to go work on some new kits! Happy scrapbooking!

Create Your Own Scrapbook Paper

Okay, I have two REALLY cool ideas for you and they sort of go together. First, I have to tell you about a new paper company called Craft Sassy. Craft Sassy is the first printing company to print your own custom-designed scrapbook paper by the individual sheet. If you can upload a digital file, you can create your own exclusive scrapbook paper design. Traditional paper sizes (including 12” by 12”) and a variety of paper stocks including vellum and double sided printing are available. They even print to environmentally-friendly inks. Your design options are unlimited! Print scrapbook paper of your children’s artwork, a scenic landscape or a hard-to-find sport or activity. When you are looking for the exactly right piece of paper, look to Craft Sassy. Now you can print your own darn scrapbook paper!

Now, for the second thing...how about a background generator that you can use for the paper??! Visit BgPatterns and try this out. Oh my gosh...this was a BLAST!! I made some teal background paper covered with white palm tree outlines for a kit that I'm working on -- now I just need to import it into PSP and create a whole sheet of this stuff. You can pick your own background color and texture and then add repeating patterns all over it. It is a blast, whether you create paper with it or not.

That's it for now...enjoy!!

Scrapbooker's Buzz Kids!

Okay, most of you have seen the Happy Birthday Girl Scrapbook page kit (the Boy is sold out) in my page kit section, but did you know that Scrapbooker's Buzz now has their own line of stamps with these adorable little tykes?? Well, they do and they are soooo cute!! Teresa of Scrapbooker's Buzz has done a wonderful job of putting together lots of ideas for using them, too. Just check out their gallery for tons of ideas for using the kids. They have lots of cards and scrapbook page layouts posted for you to use for inspiration.

Why am I mentioning this? Well, Teresa and I have been working together on some new projects and one of them will be out in the next few weeks. No, I'm not telling what it is but I think you are going to love it! And that's not all...we will be working together on a whole new line of page kits! Woohoo!! I'm so excited I can hardly stand it. We have talked about doing this for quite a while but now it's actually going to happen. For now, you will have to wait but trust me, you are going to want to watch for these new scrapbook page kits. Plus, we may even pass along a few new ideas for cards and other mini projects.

Till the next time!!

New Products!

As promised, I'm loading the store with new products this weekend! For those who have stopped by my booth at a crop, you may already be familiar with the Poem For a Page line from It Takes Two, but if you haven't seen these yet, you need to! I have added lots of the favorites featuring verse for baby boys and girls, Mom, Dad, and the Grandparents, but there is lots more. One of the most popular verses is a tribute to a loved one who has passed. The Remembrance Poem sells out at practically every show so if you haven't gotten it yet, now is your chance -- I just got in a new supply.

A new addition to the Poems line are the Cancer Walk Poem and the Cancer Survivor Poem. No matter whether you do the Relay For Life, the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, the Light the Night walk for Leukemia & Lymphoma, or any other walk to raise money for a cancer cure, you need this poem.

Okay, that's it for this morning but I'm still restocking the store so watch the shelves closely!

It's December already...

...and I suddenly realized how long it has been since I posted on the blog! Sure, there were plenty of reasons...travel, work, grandkids, dogs...the list goes on and on but none of them are a good reason to neglect my blog so I'm making a promise to myself to try to make time at least weekly to post.

Not much to start with but keep watching...I'll be posting the first of my new kits this weekend and if you love Flamingoes, you'll love the new Florida page kit!

Until tomorrow!
