The Gorgeous September Kit!!!

What an amazing card kit Erin put together this month! The card kit is just simply gorgeous! I love each and every creation I made with it!

And I saved my favorite for last! I made the little hanger from 22 gauge craft wire and the clothes line from twine. Isn't the little dress adorable? I traced the dress form onto patterned paper, cut out and then added the ribbon and lace!

Thanks for stopping by! ~ Sarah ~

For september we in the DT got to go back into the shop and choose one previous kit.

And I fell in love with the January 2010 kit "Resolutions"

I love the colors in that kit!

And now you can buy it for only $13,98!!!!!!!

Can you believe it?????

So hurry up and get your kit!

Here is my first two layouts...

My DH is always on the top! :)

Me on a perfect day on the beach...

Well, atleast my feet! :)

My September Challenge...

Happy September!! I love fall and am loving the cooler weather even more! I love when it is cool enough to turn on my oven and bake lots of fall desserts. I make lots of apple pies and freeze them so I have enough all winter long. I also make scones, cobblers, cookies and lots more!

So in honor of fall and my love of baking fall desserts, I have a recipe challenge for you this month. Here is your recipe:

Kraft or brown cardstock
1 or more buttons
a ribbon tied in a bow
a negative punched image
some doodling
something with print (newspaper, book page, paper, etc)
staples

Here is my example:

You can make a card, layout or other project and we can't wait to see it! Post it the TS gallery and forum under Sarah E's Recipe Challenge!

...you're gonna love this kit!

Till next time,

Big News for Treasured Scrapbooking

I have some exciting news to share. We just recently found out that we are expecting our fourth child! We are excited, surprised, nervous, and everything else, as you can imagine!


This means some big changes for us, lots of things to figure out, that is for sure.

One of the more difficult decisions I've had to make is what to give up right now. I can't do everything, and this is shaping up to be an all day sickness pregnancy so far. I am not giving up time with my family and I'm not giving up school, so the only thing left for me to give up is, unfortunately, Treasured Scrapbooking.

I'm not closing the store, but I am looking for someone to buy it. I will keep it up and going until that point if I can.

If you are at all interested in the details behind purchasing the store, please email me directly at flutterinby@peak.org.

The other bit of news is that I will be discontinuing the main monthly kit. The monthly card kit will continue. If you are currently a main kit subscriber I will be doing some custom kits, just a smaller release.

You might wonder what that means for our DT, no fear, they will be continuing on using some custom kits that I put together from the store to highlight the fabulous products we have already in stock.

I thank you for understanding the changes we are going through here personally, and I look forward to finding a new owner for the store so this fabulous place can continue on! It's a mix of emotions for me, I haven't had the store that long, but I've loved TS since my first day here, over three years ago. I want to make sure that it can continue, but as I'm sure you all understand, my family comes first, and we are about to expand. LOL.

mini album and layouts August kit

Hi all,

Last day of the month it is again..... time flies when you're scrappin, right?

Have you checked out (and ordered) the August kit yet? It's such a fun kit to work with. And there is so much stuff in it. Lots of paper, all double sided. As you have seen in my last post I made a layout with it, now I've made a mini album and two more layouts and I'm still not run out of paper! Is that a great kit or what?!?

Let me start with my mini album.

Totally made out of tags, cut out of thin cardboard, then I glued some papers to both sides.

For the first and last page I had some acrylic sheet laying around (Hambly's) that's also easy to cut into shape.
Sprayed both with Glimmer Mist and Chalkboard. Let that dry over night.

I made a collage of the pages cause otherwise this would be a very very long post!

This is the last page on the inside, a journaling about a wonderful day that my parents, my kids and I spent in the city were my dad, my kids and I were born.

The next thing I want to show you is my layout, started with white Bazzil cardstock, Glimmer Mist and Tim Holtz' masks.

Yep, that's a photo of me!

The roses are from the Prima paper, cut out and I used some glaze on it to make it shine.

Don't you just love this butterfly? It's cut out of the Hambly paper, misted with Glimmer Mist and I used Stickles around the edges. A smaller butterfly I attached on the wing.

My second layout started with making a piece of paper wet and started crunching it.
It looked a bit like a candy wrapping so there you've had the title!!!

Here also some misting with Shimmerz Spritz (bed of roses, my fav!)

My mum made the doily. Isn't it sweet (and so is she, thanks mum!)

Well ladies, show us your work with this gorgeous kit,

Good luck on round two on the message board, it's so much fun!
I can't wait to get started on the September kit, it will be special!
Have a great and creative time, till next time!

Scraproom Storage Solutions

I absolutely LOVE organizing and finding decorative

storage solutions, especially for my scraproom. My

favorite thing is to shop garage sales and thrift stores

to repurpose and item that will bring beauty and

organization to this sometimes very messy and

chaotic hobby that scrapbooking can be!! Here are

a few of my cleaned up, repainted, and repurposed

finds that I've included in my scrap space.

this thrifted wire basket hold my mini albums

these baskets found at garage sales hold my cards

thrifted shelf hold stamps and $2 curtain rod holds

my spools of ribbon

this wooden shelf and vintage picnic basket both

found at garage sales hold my felt and fabric collection

basket on top also found at a garage sale hold part of

my ribbon collection

I hope that this may help you to come up with

some ideas to get those rooms organized...if you're

like me, it's always an ongoing process so I'm never

quite finished with the decorating and organizing.

I also have articles in the past two months

Treasured Scrapbook newsletters that are on this

same subject of organizing solutions. Check out

HERE to sign up and recieve the TS newsletter.

You can see more photos of my scrapspace or ask

me any questions HERE.

Have a wonderful Monday,

-Sarah
