New Scrapbooking Products!!


 Hey There! Did you hear? We have a new companion scrapbooking brochure to the September–December 2024 Mini Catalog!  We are excited to introduce the September 2024 Scrapbooking Brochure.

Scrapbooking is another way to meaningfully craft. Preserving memories in a scrapbook album not only keeps your memories recorded and safe, it’s also a great way to share your memories with family and friends! The potential to strengthen relationships through scrapbooking is just one of the many reasons that makes us so excited for this new scrapbookingbrochure.

As mentioned above this brochure is a companion to the Fall Holiday catalog, meaning products in the brochure beautifully complement and coordinate with some mini catalog products. You’ll also find exciting new product lines like Two-Tone Cardstock in Stampin’ Up! colors!

This is a digital-only scrapbooking brochure, full of scrapbooking essentials and exciting new products. The products inside coordinate with products from the mini catalog (and some online only products, too!). With Workshop Kits and some new product releases Two-Tone Cardstock, we hope this adds variety and inspiration to your holiday crafts this year!  

Happy Scrapbooking!

 Here are the cards we're making in class this month. We're using Spotlight on Nature, Adventurous Sky and Lovely and Sweet. The new catalogs are here and you will be able to order from them beginning September 4th. Next month we will be making Christmas projects. I have a few items from the holiday catalog that came in my pre-order. I'll bring them to class for everyone to look at.
