Summer Lovin'

...had me blast,  summer lovin' happened so fast...  haha!  Anyone remember that movie " GREASE" with John Travolta and Olivia Newton John?  Ok.. I'm dating myself.  Well if you don't that means you're not old enough.  lol!  It's my favorite movie of all time.  Here's the video.






Ok.. back to scrapping.

Summer is our favorite time of the year!  The weather, beach time, movies,vacation time, family time, mother daughter time, tanning, dresses and flip flops.  I created a mini book of a glimpse of our summer this year. I used Heidi Swapp's Color Magic as the base, Instaframes, alphas, trimmings, banner delights, stix, labels, stamps, vellum envelopes, Studio Calico mislables (aren't those cute?), glimmer mist, Hambly transparencies, plain picture frame and generic clear plastic 4x6 inserts that you can find at your office store.

At the spine I cut two slits and inserted the two stix to decorate the spine.

I adhered the vellum envelope with flap side down first then cascaded the clear plastics.  Here you can

add more ephemera, journaling and pictures.

This is a plain frame in which I cut a slit in the back of the mini so it'll stand on it's own but didn't take a picture because it didn't turn out as pretty as I wanted it. ha!

Hope you were inspired to create your Summer Lovin' mini this year!

Happy Scrappin'

CHA SUMMER 2012 HEIDI SWAPP Vintage CHic

Heidi's new release VINTAGE CHIC is just to die for! Love, love it!  I love the patterns, colors and the  map prints is so gorgeous!  She released of course Memory files but she also released mini memory file.  Ummm cute!!  Along with chipboard Memory file regular and mini so you can create sturdy memory file projects.  Another fave is the mini memory file page protectors called photo sleeve mini with different size inserts and her new Foto stacks that includes page protectors which was a fast sell out on her debut at Winter CHA.  <3.  Here's a closer look at a video of Heidi showing you her Memory Files by Scrapbook.com.  You'll also see her new mini instaframes.  So need this!

CHA SUMMER 2012

Well,  CHA summer has come and gone.  I love all the excitement and people posting all the new products from the show.  Also, videos of manufacturers booths.  I have such a long list of WANTS.  Yikes.

Trends that I noticed that is releasing this time... are of course Chevrons, mini binder books with different size page protectors that have paper collections that go along with it, of course what would the show be without Washi tapes.  Lots of season theme collections too like Christmas and Halloween.  Don't know where to look for all the new products that's coming out.  Well...there's a few places you can check out.

SCRAP REVIEW

One of my favorites of all time is HEIDI SWAPP.  If you know me...there's no surprise there.  haha!

She released her new line of mists called COLOR SHINE.  There's 12 different colors and you can customize Heidi's Color Magic collections.  There's new memory file folders, tags and alphas!  I think I need them all.  Here's a video of Heidi demonstrating her new collection COLOR SHINE from Scrap Time.

Heidi Swapp at Scrapbook Island

It's always fun taking Heidi Swapp's class at Scrapbook Island in San Jose. It's about 1 hour & 15 min to get there but it took us a little longer due to the really bad weather. It was pouring! It was so bad we could barely see the road for part of our way there. Craziness.
There were a totally of three classes. I was only able to take 2. We worked with all of her new collections which a lot of them are sold out. The first one was creating a magnetic book and the second one was using her Color Magic file folders. We made 2 mini albums in that class. How awesome! I love playing with mists and distress inks & stains. I still have to finish them but I will post pictures as soon as I'm done. The last class was an interactive MEMORY FILE book. Wish I could've stayed but had to go to Santa Cruz to celebrate a good friends 40th birthday.
Here's some photos from class.
I'll have more later.

CHA DAY 2 continued....

Here's Heidi's day 2 booth display using her INSTAFRAME and instagram. Isn't that cool?!! Heidi.... You're awesome!!

I'm sooo excited to take Jessica Sprague and Heidi Swapp's hybrid class MOUSE,PAPER,SCISSORS!  I love Jessica's classes on digital because she's such an awesome teacher and of course, Heidi Swapp.  Need I say more.  I got my kit and it's full of glimmery goodness, wooden mirror, adhesives, glitter and Pink Paislee's HOF 3 Daily Junque.   Can't wait!  This is taken from Heidi Swapp.
