These are a few of our favorite things...

A week ago I shared my favorite thing. I was thinking I should get the other girls input and share their favorite things. Everyone has such different techniques, likes and insight when it comes to paper craft. I hope you enjoy a few of our favorite things and are inspired to try something new. This week I'm featuring Renee's favorite thing....

I didn't ask her, but by looking at all the projects she does I know she loves to make mini-albums. Whether its Chipboard, acrylic or corrugated she is the master of mini-albums, and is ubber talented. Above are just a few of her fabulous creations. Funny, I went to the store after drafting this blog and was talking to Renee about her favorite thing, and she was busy at work creating a new Princess Castle Acrylic Album.

The canvas for Renee's next Creation....Stay tuned for the finished product.

As some of you know I served 8 years in the US Army, after that many years I of course have a ton of memories to Scrap. I have not been motivated to go back and preserve these memories until now. Debbie and Renee are always on the lookout for great new products for the store, and this time I think they ordered the coolest Military Scrapbooks I have ever seen.... These scrapbooks are covered with the actual Military uniforms, they even have a spot to add your name tape and rank. If you served in the Military or know someone who has, you need one of these scrapbooks!!! Ladies, these are going to go fast. I recommend you call the store and pre-pay for your book today.

Stickles

Besides that fact that Stickles are so easy to use, they are very versatile. Here are some ideas of different ways you can use Stickles in card making and scrapbooking:

Here is an idea from the Ranger Ink website:

Here Kim added Stickles around the edges of a die cut flower to make it pop:

There are a ton more ways to use Stickles. Add them on sticker or chipboard letters to give them an entirely different look. If you like to use stamps, they are great to make your stamped image sparkle. And as you can see in the first picture they come in a ton of different colors.

Happy President's Day

Presidents' Day is celebrated in February to honor two of our greatest presidents, Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. Here is some great information to share with your kids:

George Washington was born on February 22, 1732. When he was born, America was not a nation yet. It belonged to England, a country across the ocean. People in America didn't want to belong to England so they fought a war to become a separate country. George Washington was an American general in the war. America won the war and picked a new name for itself: The United States of America. George Washington was elected to be its first President.

Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12 in 1809. Things were different then. When Abe was a boy, he lived in a log cabin. A log cabin is a small house made out of logs cut from trees. His father cut down the trees and made the cabin. In 1861, Abraham Lincoln became the 16th President of the United States. (Alphabet_Soup.net)
