Fancy Pants has really outdone themselves with this totally adorable collection of kraft papers, die cuts, and printed ribbons. Here’s the best news: you get to play with all of it when you order this five card collection. Get in touch with your inner “tweetness” and then go to work with brads, ribbons, buttons, dies and more. Oh, I forgot to mention each kit also comes with a set of mini alphabets by My Little Shoebox. They are perfect for creating greetings-and so fast too! Each kit contains a birthday, celebrate, thank-you, new home, and feel better greeting. As always, detailed instructions with color photos and envelopes are included for each card.

Shelly and I have slashed the prices on several of our kits!!!!!!!!!  Be sure to check them out and get them before they are gone.  We have limited quantities on several so don’t wait!!!

Also, tell us what you are doing for NSD and you will be entered in a drawing for a free May Kit of your choice!!  We will draw the lucky winner Sunday night.

Have a great weekend and don’t forget to visit the Sweet Tooth store and leave us a comment!

Goin’ bananas with all the snow and cold? Don’t fret-make some hilarious Monkey Business cards using the newest card kit from Sweet Tooth Scrapbooking-these are easy enough for children and beginner card makers alike. My children loved these papers and I bet yours will too: four cards including three birthday and one “miss you” card. These cards were created using Reminisce’s newest line Monkey Business.

jillibean soup’s line of kraft papers, felt flowers (bean seeds), and journaling spots inspired the five cards in the Krafty Kollection. Three birthday, one thank-you, and one “for you” card are all included in this set:

Cindy was out surfing the net again and found this awesome little company called jillibean soup. We both loved the kraft papers, felt flowers, journaling blocks, and sticker letters-so cool! You will love slurping up all of these tasty little treats. Here is a sneak peak at some of the cards I’ve been cooking up with Cream of Mushroom, Spicy Pumpkin, Cold Raspberry and bean seeds. I was out shopping on Etsy again and found the little owls on Angie Ward’s site-The Artsy Cottage.

January has had Cindy and I creating like crazy: we have new layouts, lots of new card collections and a new mini-album and we have more to come in a few weeks. Cindy has put together three new layout kits: one single page layout and two 2-page layouts using Cosmo Cricket, We R Memory Keepers, and Kimberely Poloson’s Letters Home papers and embellishments. Check them all out under “Shop” on the website.

Card collections include kits for boys (4) girls (4), sympathy (3), winter birthday (2), butterfly birthday (3), and VALENTINES! (4)

These collections can all be purchased seperately!

Also, the last eight pictures are of the newest mini-album: It is a 6×6 Bo-Bunny Chipboard book with Kimberely Poloson’s Letter’s Home Collection (there are only a few of these little gems).

Jenni Olson won a package of Imaginisce product a few weeks ago and made a mini album using her zutter bind-it-all and a few of her own embellishments-however all the papers and flowers are from Imaginisce. This is a really fun little book and hopefully you will find some inspiration from her project. Thanks for sharing Jenni!

The last few days I’ve been feeling a little overwhelmed with all of the expectations of the Christmas season beginning with commitments at the children’s school to baking cookies, decorating, writing our family Christmas letter, etc. So, I do what I do when I don’t know what else to do. I start organizing and cleaning my scrap stuff. (Oh my, I can shove a lot of stuff into one little corner!)

 I unearthed a couple of page kits I sponged off of Cindy Noesen recently. I’ve attached one for your viewing pleasure. I changed things around a little bit to incorporate the size and number of photos I had. I also rotated the title and used ALL the stickers on the sheet, I didn’t use the die cut photo corners at all. Doing this layout for my son, Charlie’s, album was super easy and quick to put together. In all the caos of the season I honestly felt like I made progress in this little part of my life. I added a few white number stickers for the year “2008″. I also made the haunted house dimensional but that is pretty hard to tell from my photo (sorry). Charlie was “Harry Potter” for Halloween in case you’re wondering what his costume was.  He said he like the layout.

Jenni Olson and Chris Burger will be receiving a set of Imaginisce products (a $15.00 retail value) absolutely free! Thanks ladies. Send us your project photos so we can see what you create.
