NSD 2011 (National Scrapbook Day)

In celebration of NSD this year, Creative Memories created an adorable collection of die cuts that coordinate with the new FABULOUS Power Palette. If you'd like them, please email me at hwattmemories@comcast.net and I'll email back the free package. You'll be able to install and use it within your Storybook 3.0 software program.

Have fun celebrating NSD!

Thank you DEVIL DOGS!

Thanks to the Devil Dogs and all the hard work they do every day! Hu-rrah!

Thanks for your service MARINES!

My team and our customers are cropping at our retreat weekend in Gettysburg, PA. And tonight about 60 Marines from Cherry Point, NC checked into the hotel during their PME in the area. I was inspired by fellow Consultant Cathy Shea and her team (who was also on a retreat in the Ohio area) to get our group to create THANK YOU cards for the visiting Marines. We so appreciate all the dedication, commitment and hard work they give every day to protect our freedom.

Halloween Creative Cuts Template

Using the new Halloween Creative Cuts Template and the Cheerful Halloween Additions 12x12 paper, I created these cute enhancements for any Halloween page. The Ghost has black Chalking Ink around the edges.

Mummy Journaling Block

Mummy Journaling Block

Step 1 – BODY Cut a piece of white cardstock 3” x 6”. Use the black Chalking Ink around the edges. Cut 10 strips of white cardstock 4” x ½”. Use the black Chalking Ink around all the edges.

Step 2 – EYES Using the Bubble Maker, punch eyes with black cardstock. Using the small ¼” Circle Maker, punch eyes with white cardstock. Use the Chalking Inks (brown or black) around the edges. Glue black circle to eyes with the Precision Point Adhesive. Glue finished eyes to the body.

Step 3 – WRAP Lay strips across the body. Angle them differently to make it look more realistic. Trim off the excess hanging over the edges of the body.

Step 4 – DECORATE Use the mini Halloween Maker & punch 3 spiders with black cardstock and adhere to body. Write the journaling on the strips and add to your finished Mummy to your album page.

A big thank you to the consultant that shared this original idea on the forum. I changed the instructions a bit and posted it here to share with all of you. Happy Halloween!
