More of December Kit 1

I thought I would share a couple more things I did with December Kit 1. I absolutely loved the colors and papers in this kit. I'm usually not one to stick with red and green for Christmas colors, so this kit was absolutely perfect for me. These little gift card holders were the easiest things I think I've ever made. I'm all about quick and easy, and these definitely were right along those lines. I took some empty toilet paper holders (you could also use empty wrapping paper tubes and cut them down to size) and cut my pattern paper to 4x6 and wrapped it around the holder. I glued my paper down and also glued one end of my gift card holder so it would not slide out. Then embellish as you wish. They were so fun to make and people who received them absolutely loved them. I also had a lot of fun with my Dumb Santa Hat page. I love these papers and this kit was beyond fun to work with.

December 15th Reveals at Treasured Scrapbooking

I am lucky enough to receive both kits from Treasured Scrapbooking each month, which is ending this month, so I get to create with both! January goes to one kit with several different add on options such as a cardstock add on, a paper add on, an embellishment add on and a mini album add on, trust me, you will LOVE the options! Anyhow like I said I got both kits, and I have created mainly with Kit 1:

December Guest Design Team Member Contest

Reflections

Its that time of the month here at Treasured Scrapbooking! Time for the Guest Designer contest for the month of December, how cool would that be to hold the GDT spot for the exciting month of December? So we need a great November project to kick off our search, and our fearless leader Erin has come up with a great little recipe for your success :)

So get all of your ingredients, ummm I mean supplies, together and follow the recipe , make sure you dont leave out any of the requirements and maybe, just maybe, you will be the next GDT ;)

You may apply this recipe to either a layout, a card or an altered item.
Your theme is remincent of the season, thankful, thoughtful or reflective.
Include something reflective such as glitter, bling, shimmerz, glimmer mist, a mirror, etc
Tie a ribbon and include it, this way you have tied your thoughts together.
Memories are often layered upon each other, one building upon another, so you must have some layers.
We want to see some journaling, tell us your feelings, and the journaling can be hidden.

Deadline for the December GDT Contest is November 12 at midnight your time.

As GDT you will recieve one of the monthly kits, you will do one layout and a sketch for the 1st reveal on the 1st, and a layout and altered item for the 2nd reveal on the 15th. As a part of the team you will select a Layout of the Day on Fridays, have a chance to submit an item to the newsletter if you want and create a challenge with an example to run for the month. Additionally you would be expected to participate on the board daily and leave praise in the gallery.

Post your submission in the gallery and link it up here.

Cant wait to see what you do :)

Big Changes at Treasured Scrapbooking!

In case you didn't already know, there are big changes afoot at Treasured Scrapbooking. Leslie has decided to sell the store, and I decided to buy it!

From Leslie's post on the boards:

I have some news to share with you...some sad, but some very exciting. I've been doing a lot of thinking over the past few months and I've decided to sell TS. As I'm sure most of you have noticed, I've been having a hard time keeping up with TS the way I used to. Life, my job, family, my mom's health have all taken precedence. And as much as I love TS (it's like my baby!) my heart just isn't in the business side of it anymore. I just don't feel like I have the time to give the site the attention it needs/deserves. Plus, my husband found out recently that he's going to be activated next year (he's in the reserves) in June and he'll be gone for 6-12 months in Baghdad so I'm sure I'll have even less time then. We're trying to get some stuff done around the house and take an early vacay before he leaves.


Anyway, this all started when I was approached a few months ago by someone interested in buying the site. I didn't sell it to this person - I wasn't looking for a buyer - I hadn't even considered selling it before that, but it got me thinking. I kind of took it as a sign that maybe it was time to let the site go. I've just been so stressed over the past year or so trying to get everything done. If I didn't have this dang day job, it would be a different story but the bills need paid and my job is too good to give up.

Which brings me to the good news. I am thrilled to announce that our very own Erin has decided to take over TS!! We are in the process now of getting all the administrative details organized and I'm packing up all the inventory to ship out to her. I have put so much time, love, sweat & tears into building this site. Unfortunately, I haven't had the time to take it to where I wanted it to go or where I knew it could go with more time. I write this with bittersweet emotions as it makes me VERY sad to not call it my own anymore...on the other hand, I really need a break. I just know Erin will do a fabulous job in making TS even better and I am just so excited for her! Erin will be officially taking over on Nov. 1 but I have already put the kits/card kit together for November so her first kits will be in December. The Design Team has agreed to stay on for another month to ease the transition and Erin will be posting a Design Team call soon for the new term that will start in January.

I want to thank you all for all the support you've given to me and Treasured Scrapbooking over the past 2 1/2 years. It has been just a pleasure to be a part of such a creative, giving, caring group of ladies. I really consider you all friends and family. And I'm sure you'll all give Erin all the support she needs in getting started in her new endeavor! I will really miss putting the kits together every month and running the site but I'm actually looking forward to getting the chance to scrap again and just be part of the board!! Congratulations Erin!!


~~~~~~~~~
I just have to say I have always loved Treasured Scrapbooking, and I am very dedicated to making it a friendly welcoming and inspiring place to hang out! To celebrate all the changes, I am having a sale!!! :) Nothing better than a good sale in my opinion! So for the next week and half (or so) all past kits and online classes are 50% off! They have been going fast, so if you've had your eye on one, you'd better snatch it up fast!

Also, we have added a fan page on Facebook, so head over and become a fan, I've been doing giveaways every so often, and there's a coupon code posted as well! :)

Thank you to everyone for the kind supportive words you've shared with me. I really intend to give TS even more of my heart, and I hope you'll come share in the fun.

OH! I almost forgot, we're also holding a Design Team call right now! Check the forum for the details!

October Kit #2

I had so much fun with this kit! I don't often scrap Halloween, but this kit got me in the Halloween mood. I also did a couple of non-Halloween projects with it, so it's VERY versatile!

We don't have many Halloween decorations, so this little sign just makes me happy!

This Halloween layout is a lift of LisaNRoxy's Pug Princess layout:

(Check out more of Lisa's awesome work in the TS gallery!).

And, a couple of non-Halloween things.

Not only did this kit get me to scrap Halloween, it also got me to scrap a wedding picture. Something that is long overdue for me!

I love the colours in this kit! They were just perfect for scrapping this picture of my baby girl! The little kitty is so cute...just the thing for a 'sitting pretty' layout!

So, if you haven't yet, check out the amazing kits at TS!!
