It’s taken me a bit, but I have finally got some good pictures of the American Crafts mini album that I made a couple weeks ago with Lovebug Debby during a class at the BC Scrapbooking for Kids Crop.

Check it out:

It was so easy – I haven’t put in my journalling yet, but the whole album came together so easily.  I love this mini albums now and a big thank you to Lovebug Debby for a wonderful class and showing me how easy it was to use these American Crafts albums.

I posted a new layout from the September kit that used up a good chunk of my Scenic Route die cut arrows.  I really like the result of the layout.  For some information on the technique, check out the Lovebug Monthly Kit forum.

I hope to see a few layouts in the gallery using these really great die cuts!

Good afternoon everyone!  It’s Rachel here, I hope you haven’t all forgotten who I am!!  I know I haven’t been posting here as much as I had hoped to, but life has been pretty busy. I just went back to work full-time after a 14 month maternity leave.  Let’s just say life has been hectic! 

And since it’s been so hectic I haven’t had time to do much in my scrap room, but I took a class at the BC Scrapbooking Crop for Kids this past weekend and took a class taught by our very own Lovebug Debby.  And wow, no matter how busy you are, if you can find a couple hours you can complete a full project so easily using the American Crafts mini albums.  Check them out in the store:

American Crafts Mini Albums

I’ll be back later to show you how fabulous they can look all done up.  In the meantime head to the store and stock up while you can.  I made sure to order lots so I can make some easy Christmas presents with minimal effort.  There are still some left, so run while you can.  I’m going to count how many I have and decide if I need more…. beat me to the store if you dare. 

Lovebug Kathy here, showing how our designers have been busy at work using these fabulous products from the September kit.
