Coloring with Prisma Pencils

2009-05-10T22:00:00.000-07:00

Using PrismaColor Pencils from Kelli Caslow on Vimeo.

If you have not used the Prisma pencils it is a must try. I always looked for stamps that required very little coloring as I never felt I could do a good job. After learning from Kelli. Buying the right products. Practicing and and falling in love with Prisma. I am not HOOKED and having so much fun coloring in stamped images. You can come into the store at 779 N Main for the pencils, blender stubs and gamasol or go to my etsy store and buy a set online. You wont believe how easy it is. You will be so thrilled with the results you get too. Have fun and happy coloring. Thanks Kelli for sharing your talent with us and making this fantastic Video. If you would like to see more of Kelli's amazing talent or video's you can visit her blog here.

Have an amazing week,

Stacey :)

Online Blog Auction.... When a friend needs us....

2009-04-30T18:32:00.000-07:00

**** It has been figured out! PLEASE join us on June 13 and 14 for a wonderful auction of homemade/handmade items! ALL proceeds will go to our dear friend and her family. You must be registered on the All Moments Remembered message board to join in the fun.

I have been the proud owner of All Moments Remembered store for two years and the message board for over a year now. I have made some amazing friends here who are very dear to me. Right now we have a very sick hubby of one of our girls. He was diagnosed with lung cancer. Recently he was told if the treatment works he will have about a year maybe two years. This gal who's hubby this is is one of the sweetest kindest people you can ever wish to meet. She has always been there when I needed her. They also have a little girl. My heart is breaking for them. I am also just trying to keep the faith and pray all the time for them. I once saw somewhere on a blog an auction to raise money for a good cause. People donated items they made and such for the auction. I need help figuring out where this was so I can see how they did it again. I would like to hold such an auction to help raise money for our sweet girlfriend. When he starts treatment he will most likely be very sick. He was also the bread winner in the family. I would like to help make things a little easier for them during this time. So please help me find out how to hold this blog auction I have heard about before. If you could please say some prayers for this family too it would be appreciated.

A note from Roy....

2009-04-29T14:43:00.000-07:00

Roy and Stacey when we first met.

A note from Roy....

Hi Fella's,

" It's a note from Scrapbook Roy"

Some one let it out that there are many fella's doing scrapbooks. So lets get it going by giving our self a title. If you can come up with a great name put it in the comment box here. Please keep it 15 letters or less. Stacey and I will choose a winning name soon when I get back from vacation. The winner will receive a small goodie of scrapbooking items.

In the meantime gather up the pictures of old girlfriends, friends, even the ones from school or you brought home from the war. Match book covered, all that stuff you have saved in a shoebox's out in the garage. You kept them because of the memories and they will bring back more when you get them out. It is time to get out the adhesive and get them in a scrapbook. Well that is all for now. We will move on to the scrapbooking part next time. But please be sure to go dig out all those memories.

Keep scrapping,

Roy

Well Roy is busy with speeches this week and then off to his sons for a nice visit. We all sure miss him around the store already. Roy adds such a sparkle when he is here.

Next week we will have nestibilities in stock!! A must have for any card maker. Be sure to check out the Etsy shops I have listed on my blog.

Thanks,

Stacey

Is it Spring yet?

2009-04-28T09:51:00.000-07:00

Is it spring where you live yet? Sure the calender tells us it is Spring but what about the weather. We woke up to rain and the local hills had snow today. Just a week ago we had pulled out the Capri's and were wearing our flip flops. Allergies had kicked into high speed. This rain has helped to mellow those out. So what is it like where you live? Are you ready for Spring?

Remember to get out your camera's and get the pictures Spring brings to us. I was driving yesterday and saw a new born calf out in a field. I thought I wish I had my camera with me. Note to self to start packing my camera with me.

Lots of new things coming into the All Moments Remembered Etsy shop soon. If you have been looking for Nestibilities we will have them in many shapes. I have to admit these are my new favorite tool. How I survived without them is beyond me. Be sure to check out my Etsy shop and the list I have here on my side bar. Many of the AMR girls are working hard to get things handmade for their shops so check back often.

I hope whatever your weather is doing this week you have a beautiful time in it!

Stacey

New Journey and exploring the incredible community of Etsy

2009-04-22T20:02:00.000-07:00

I have had the most incredible two years with All Moments Remembered. I have loved the whole journey. Since opening my brick and mortar store I have had a hard time keeping up on a full line online store. My heart was wanting something different. With the brick and mortar store going well and being something I love to pieces I decided to try something new. I am doing a small Etsy shop. I will carry supplies and some handmade items. I have now closed my online store. There is no saying that I wont ever open it up again. At this time I want to give back to friends who have helped me along the way. I want to introduce to you all many other Etsy shops and promote them here. I have so many sweet friends on my message board and thought how can I help these girls in this tough time. Many of them have Etsy shops and those who don't I hope will feel a little push to get one. The talent on my mb is amazing and I think all these girls can sell their gorgeous items. I will be listing all the Etsy shops here on the blog and also on my MB. So be sure to check them all out.
If you own an Etsy store and want to join our group sign up for the message board and we can add your Etsy shop to the list. Together a group of incredible ladies can do wonderful things.
If there is something you are really wanting and don't have a LSS email me. I will be thrilled to sell you anything you need that I have in my brick and mortar store.
Thank you to all of you who have supported the AMR store. I hope now you will still support me by shopping in my Etsy shop or store front in Prineville. I hope you will also help me support some other talented ladies I call dear friends and shop at their Etsy shops too!!

Right now I have several Justrite stamp sets in stock in the Etsy shop. I will be adding nestibilites next week.

Here are a couple wonderful Etsy shops to check out soon as they are filling them soon with wonderful items.

Kelliannie visits, teaches a class and meets Roy

2009-04-20T10:24:00.000-07:00

Kelliannie from the All Moments Remembered Message board and our Card Challenge Queen visited me!! What a pleasure it was to meet this very sweet lady! Not only is she amazingly talented she is wonderful, funny, adorable, sweet and just a fantastic person to hang out with. I so enjoyed her visit.

Roy came by and hung out with all the girls on Sat. I am so glad two of my favorite people got to meet each other. Be watching as Roy has informed me he has his column written up for the blog this week. You don't want to miss his writings. I am sure we will all be entertained and enjoy each time he post here on the blog.

Have a beautiful week. All Moments Remembered is getting Just rite stamps in this week and then lots of nestibilities next week! These both are a must have!!!

Happy Easter! Decorated easter eggs and Roy.....

2009-04-12T10:30:00.000-07:00

Can you imagine putting all these eggs on this tree? No this is not Roy but made me think of him when I saw it. I am betting it is not windy where this tree is at.
I want to wish you all a Happy Easter. I hope you are spending it with family and friends. I have things in the oven already early this morning. Made the strawberry jello that I grew up on last night. Did you ever have that one with the strawberry's, mashed bananas, pineapple and sour cream? OHHHH this brings me right back to being a little girl. I love things, taste, songs and such that can do that to me.

Roy my dear sweet friend will be writing a column every week for this blog. They will be tips from him on scrapbooking and maybe a few of his amazing stories. I am so excited about this venture with him. I think Roy is one of the dearest people I know and I just want to share him with everyone. So you will get to be part of this by reading the blog here. Many have wanted to know how to write Roy a letter or send a card. He visits my shop every week so that would be the best place. ROY c/0 AMR 779 N Main st Prineville Oregon 97754 So keep an eye out this coming week. Plus I will be sure to get new pictures of him often.

So happy Easter!! Here are a few pictures I found of decorated eggs I thought were fun. Enjoy.

Just a few things I have made lately. Check out our Message board...

2009-04-08T18:28:00.000-07:00

Lil cowboy layout. I had fun punching all those holes, NOT! lol But I did enjoy making this one. I still think I might add a few more embellishments. This is one of the layouts we are doing later in the month for a class. We have four layouts we will be creating that day.

Grunge board album. Atlantic city 1928. My hubbys grandma and friends. I finally got smart with these old photos. I copy the writing off the back on my printer and use it for my journaling. His grandma told the story on all the pictures and also we get to enjoy her handwriting.

This is the cover of my grunge board album. I had so much fun making this.

Loving this house mouse stamp! I have made so many cards with this stamp alone.

Got this cute card pattern from my friend Kelli Caslow. She is the queen of card making. So excited she will be in the store April 18th teaching a class.

Now I am a huge fan of the ATG gun! You could not pry it from my hands. BUT I have found a new friend to keep in my tote bag for emergencies. I have several customers who also love this new adhesive gun. It is super lightweight, small in size and darn if the colors are not the cutest. I have these online and in the store along with refills. Check out the the Glue glider today.

Remember our message board is filled with talent and fun!! All Moments Remember is home for so many why not make it yours too?

Happy Scrapping,

Stacey

So lets be honest.... How has the economy affected your scrappy life and every day life?

2009-04-06T17:21:00.000-07:00

I started All Moments Remembered online store in 2007. The first six months were okay. But then it took off full speed. Looking back I can say it grew a bit to fast for one person to handle. I added a kit club with a friend helping me design it. That club went hog wild too. The problem was it was only me over here putting together the kits, packing and shipping them. All the reasons I had opened my online store from home were down the drain. Work from home so I can do more with my family but also contribute to the family income. I was working harder and more hours then I had ever been before. I was loving every single second of it. I started a message board for the site and what a blast that soon became. The friends I have made there are true treasures to me. These girls are so dear to me and like family in so many ways. But there again having a message board takes a lot of time. You need to keep up on the back ground maintenance. You need to keep it fun and full of new ideas. You need to make sure all post are nice. I can admit I really have not had any mean spirited horrible post. But really it takes a lot more work then anyone can imagine. But again I love it and could skip sleep to do it. But with that comes the moments that you know you need to have more balance. My mother's day card last year from my 8 yr old son said " My mom is the best even though she is always on her computer" ACCKKKK!!! It was true. I had started an online business to be able to spend more time with my family and that was not happening. Online crops? OHHHH my do they keep ya from our family! I have to admit they are sooo much fun and you just can't help yourself. So how many of you out there find yourself on the computer way to much even if you love being on it? Tell me I am not the only guilty mom.

This economy has changed my online business. I gave up the kit club. It was just to much and it gave me back a lot of time for my family. All good stuff! But then the economy really hit me hard. Online sales slowed down once the gas prices went back down. My intense love of owning my own business. Then my love for scrapbooking brought me to the idea of opening a brick and mortar store. WHY NOT!! Oh I wish you could have been here when I ran it past my hubby... Yikes! In this economy you want to open a store front???? He was not for it one bit. My thought was well so many are going out of business I could get displays and such for a great price. I should be able to get a super deal on rent of a building. I mean who would not want to come to my scrapbook store and have fun? I mean we all still have funds for scrapbooking right? Well lets say I got my way, got my cheap displays, great landlords and a fair rent in a darling building and I opened All Moments Remembered brick and mortar store. I am in heaven. As the online has slowed down the in store has picked up. Now I can tell you this is no get rich plan. Okay for the sake of my hubby I can say it is not a bring a paycheck home yet plan either. But hey it carries itself. The classes are the heart of my store. As one lady said who was taking a class " I find it to be cheaper then therapy and way more fun" We laugh during classes. We meet new friends. We catch up with old friends. We get to create and get to make something we might not have made time for at home. I can say I have made some very dear friends through my store.

I am sure hoping some day soon the economy will turn around and my store will flourish with business. Do you have a small business you are just waiting to bloom once the economy turns? Are you enjoying what you are doing now even if you are not on the get rich trail yet? I so love what I am doing and would not trade for anything. I look forward to my days at work. I just wish I knew when things were going to get better in our economy. I have spent many nights tossing and turning and wishing I could sleep. I have spent lots of time trying to figure out how to get all the coolest new items in the store while still paying all the bills. Every day seems to be better and it always seems to work out. But I still often worry about what the store will become. I hope to prove hubby wrong and show him I WAS SMART starting it in this economy. :) So what has this economy done to your dreams? I could go on and on if I added in my woes about home life and such with this economy but I will stick to the business part for now. So if you have you own business online or store front lets chat. Lets find out what is working for others. Like I said my classes and having a haven for women to come and just laugh while creating has been my key! What are you doing? What is working for you? Do you have suggestions for me? Do you make sure to budget in your scrappy spending money each month? I have found many have done this and might give up that yummy coffee but are still doing their hobbies. This economy has to get better, RIGHT????

I would love to hear from others trying to make it through these tough economic times.

Cheaper then Therapy,

Stacey :)

PS. Be sure to check out my online message board. I can honestly say I have the sweetest group of ladies there ever!

2009-04-06T16:18:00.000-07:00

Crazy for Cupcakes and the All Moments Remembered Message board...

2009-04-05T21:36:00.000-07:00

I love this one made with the maya road chipboard pieces. These will be in stock this week at AMR. Please be sure to check in the store.

Who would not just love this? What a great idea for a grandma gift. You fill in all the birthdays and then she has them down. You could even make up cards for her to have on hand to mail. I bet friends would love this too. Why not ask them to email you a list of birthdays for each month of the year? This is a gift I bet NO ONE else will give them. For those of you who do not scrap or have the time come see me in the AMR store front for details on having one of these custom made for you.

SO CUTE!!

Love this album and have been waiting for them to be in stock again at Maya Road. I can hardly wait to have a class with these and stock them in the online store. Are you crazy for cupcakes?

Cute cute cute!!!

I see some cuttlebug goodness on this one. I love my cuttlebug and always like to find more fun ways to use it.

Another great cupcake card!!!

I have not made any of the projects here. I went blog surfing and grabbed pictures. I failed to keep track of where I got them all from. But most of them have a water mark with their blog name. Be sure to visit them and let them know how much you like their work. Lately I can not get enough of cupcakes. It must be true for many others as I keep trying to order some to find out they are back ordered everywhere.

I would love to show off more great cupcake projects. If you would like to have yours featured here please email me a picture and your blog addy to Allmomentsremembered@gmail.com and I will include it next time I post a cupcake post.

Have a beautiful week. Remember to be thankful for all the good things in your life. The times right now make it easy for us to forget about the good and dwell on all the bad. So be sure to look for the goodness!!!

If you would like some scrappy friends please check out our ALL Moments Remembered Message board. We have daily challenges and monthly crops. If I do say so myself I can tell you we have some of the sweetest ladies ever on there. You will feel at home the minute you join there. I look forward to getting to know you on the message board. Please put something about scrapbooking in the profile area when you sign up so I know right away you are not spam.

Hugs,

Stacey

Okay one more adorable cupcake to leave ya with!!

MEN Scrapbook too!! 90 yr old Roy shares his scrapbook with me...

2009-01-22T19:09:00.000-08:00

Being a scrapbook store owner I meet some pretty interesting people. My online message board has brought me a community of friends who I simply cherish. But today while at work in my scrapbook store, I got the pleasure of sitting with Roy. We spent 2 hours looking through his scrapbook he has been keeping most all of his life. Filled my heart with more passion then I have ever had for this industry/hobby before.

This is the cover of his album he made himself. He did masking and painting. His line, "been there done that", is so well explained in all the amazing pages inside his book. This man is not like any 90 year old I have ever met. I would guess him to be late 70's. He can remember names and stories like you would not believe. He had a page on the first Olympic skiier Woman who won a gold medal. Gretchen Frazer. He skiied with her and had a beautiful story to share about her. I could go on and on about the amazing people Roy has had the pleasure of meeting in his lifetime.

Here is shows me how he had a plain page and wanted to spruce it up. He so proudly said I took several colors of paint and just splashed them on there with a paint brush. No rhyme or reason. Just did what I thought looked good. He then matted his pictures and adhered them to his beautiful art work. I smiled huge and said WOW so many of us are doing this technique now. He said " so many people keep from creating because they worry about being nice and neat. They worry about what color, what size pictures. Does this picture go with that picture. He smiled with his huge bright smile and said my concern was getting the story down not what colors and such I used. Isn't this page simply gorgeous! These are all pictures of him as a child! Different stages. The page beside is had all his journaling.

Here is a page one of the pictures was a tin photo. You can see he has journaled here and there. It is a mix and match of old photos he had.

Look at that face! Can you see how I instantly fell in love with him? What a beautiful person he is.

He scrapped all the awards he and his wife ever won. Letters from the war you name it he has it in there. He told me last year he auctioned off a painting he did in the navy that was kept on his ship. His wife was in a home with Alzheimer's and he needed the extra money for her care. He put this painting on ebay and got an amazing amount of money. The Navy bought the painting for their museum. He had a page scrapped with pictures of the painting when he painted it as a young man. Pictures of him with it when he gave it up. The newspaper stories written about it all tucked inside this incredible scrapbook.

I was so blessed to have a customer/friend in the store with her camera on hand since mine was at home. My friends all know I never get my picture taken but today you could not have stopped me. What a moment and photo I will always cherish.

Roy comes to my town 20 miles from where he lives every other week as a Hospice Volunteer. Yes he still drives and I can say I would let him drive me around. He is just that with it. I asked him if he would make a point to stop in and visit me on the days he was in town. He has so many stories to tell. He says he figures he has another 3 or 4 years to live and wants to finish his album up. So we decided we would scrapbook together every other week. What a gift this is to me! I have never been so excited about scrapbooking! I love this hobby but seeing his scrapbook brought such new joy to me. He said " it's a mix match of stuff but if I took the time to organize it this would not be this far along. He is so right we need to get our stories on pages and not spend so much time organizing and planning it out. He also made a point how his favorite photos are the ones not cropped. I could not agree more with this. Seeing the stores and dirt streets in the back ground brought the photos to life. There is so much to learn from this amazing man. He is planning to come speak to a store full of customers who want to hear his stories and also he said he has so much to share about the art of scrapbooking. He said he wants to get tell people what the heart of their albums should be. I am excited about my new friendship with Roy.
I look forward to my time scrapbooking and talking with Roy. I hope to share more here with you then too.

2009-01-09T15:48:00.000-08:00

A year ago I started a message board for my store site. I have been so blessed with the most amazing ladies there. I have found some of the dearest friends. With a year under my belt now I have come up with new ideas to make the message board even more fun. I have been working on all these ideas and having to keep them under tight lip until now.

Misty (snowlady) is going to be in charge of posting a daily scripture there.

I want to also extend a special thank you to Elizabeth (cutepumpkin) for all the hard work she has done for the website and message board. She is the creator of all our blinkies. We sure appreciate her!

2008 just some things from it.....

2008-12-27T18:21:00.000-08:00

First layout tearing paper for it. Changed the journaling but now can't find the right picture. But journaled the story of infertility and the dreams we had and accomplished.

Had fun trying the strips of papers with journaling on it for my sons sweet picture.

Started a family tree album, okay so the coffee machine blew up and spilled all over all the other pages to this book so now all I have is the cover. Some day I plan to get a new book and start over. Don't you love October Afternoon?

Using my cricket to cut things for this page. Also just adding things to see how much I could put on this page.

So simple. I still just love these pictures.

Stress reducing card making. I am now addicted to house mouse stamps! Plan to see lots more of these stamped cards from me in 2009.

An Random book I made. Just took pictures that I liked, did not go in a theme or anything. So each page is it's own story. There is my father inlaw in the one page with the two little ones. He passed this summer. We all still miss him so much. A couple weeks ago without thinking I called his house and got the this number is no longer in service. Broke my heart all over again. Kinda wild you can dial a phone number without thinking about it.

My going to be 20 yr old daughter many years ago. She is now living back in the same town as us and is doing fantastic.

My son doing what he loves best! He is so musical and plays so many instruments.

A watercolor stamped card. Used a mini mister to spray the stamp before I stamped it on the paper. Tim Holtz stamps and tech I learned from him.

Birthday Explosion box I made for a friend. Have not made one since, I might have to work on one again.

WOW I finally got to meet Tim Holtz! He is even wicked cool in person! I admire his talent. He posted on my blog once this past year and sent me over the moon. Amazing person.

From Left to right..... Julie, Heather, Me and Jenn...

Finally got to meet Heather in person after almost a year of talking on the phone, emailing, and working together on kits and crops for my website. It was a dream come true. Jenn was one of my DT girls and I so enjoyed meeting her too. Both girls made me laugh so much and made my whole cha trip a blast. Julie is a dt for Clear Scraps and also a member on my message board. Got to meet her and hang out a tiny bit. I hope we get to hang out a lot more next time and get to know each other. Julie is a very sweet person and I am glad I got the chance to meet her.

You wont believe this... This and 5 carts was a gift from my message board. They all chipped in and sent me a beautiful Cricket as a gift just because they love me. I was so touched and still every time I use it think of all of them. Amazing ladies to do something like this for a person they have never met. I have been blessed with the sweetest most caring girls on my message board. They do things for each other too that bring tears to my eyes. Very loving group!!

Became friends with this super sweet lady, Leslie. Leslie survived one cancer and now is fighting 8 brain tumors. I pray many times a day for her and ask anyone reading this if you pray please pray for her to be healed. Pray for her loving family to have strength to help her through all of this. Pray that Leslie's veins hold up for the chemo treatments. I appreciate any prayers or well wishes you send her way.

Got to have a message board girl stay at my house. Grammy b other wise known as Brenda. Okay so it was the flat version on her but she was here. I made her coffee and coffee cake her first morning with us. Doesn't she look fantastic? You can not see it in this picture but this woman is sporting some BLING!!!

Hey Brenda, need some ramen? :)

Got to meet Ali Edwards and Stacy Julian on my first trip to CHA. All these years I thought I was tall... Ran into both of them at the next CHA and they remembered me or at least humored me! Ali is one of the coolest people out there. The second time i met her we got to talk more and I think she is so real and so awesome. No airs about that lady. She is pregnant right now and looking so cute. What a year!!

This is my friend Rita. She was my " Driver" from the airport. LOL Long story but when she held up that sign welcoming me Ali thought it was for Stacy Julian at the airport. I busted through and said NOPE sorry it's MY DRIVER. Rita was a real sport playing it off for me. :) Rita was the best taking me to my hotel and around town. We giggled a ton and just had a great time. Rita has had a surgery this year that took it's toll on her. I hope 2009 brings her happiness and good heatlh.

I hope to post more things I loved about 2008 in the next few days. The economy might have been horrible but I can say my account is full of the best friends ever from my MB!! 2008 has been so much fun.

Started a kit club that was always sold out and ended it in the years time. Boy how come no one told me how hard kit clubs are? It was fun while it lasted. We did have some of the most beautiful kits thanks to Heather Prins. We had fun crops, great scrap chats and just a wonderful time.

Thanks to everyone who has made AMR the success it is! I could not do it without you..

OHHHHH did I mention I opened a store front? Yep two months ago I did it. Loving having people to talk to in person sometimes. I am so blessed to be living my dreams.

How was your 2008?

Merry Christmas to all....

2008-12-21T19:17:00.001-08:00

I want to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and the most wonderful new year!!

I want to thank everyone for their amazing support over the past year at All Moments Remembered. There have been many changes and more changes happening now at AMR. I am always hopeful they will be good changes and we are always pushing forward to more wonderful things. I can say with all my heart that I feel I have one of the sweetest groups of ladies on my message board. I could not have asked for anything better for my message board. I am so proud to call them all my friends.

As many know we just mailed out our last kit from the kit club. It was a fun year with it and Heather did a beautiful job designing it each month. We sold it out each month which was more then I ever hoped for. But the nightmare of trying to get everything in on time and sent out on time became just to much. So with great sadness we decided to shut the kit club down. I will always be thankful to Heather for all she did for me over the past year. Some company will be so lucky to get her on their DT or get her to design kits for them. She has an amazing eye for putting everything together. See her layouts and you will see that talent is dripping off this girl. I often wondered how I got so lucky to have found her and for her to have joined me on this venture. Thank you Heather!
Then there is the design team girls. Our first group with Linda and Tracy was so much fun. They had such talent and kept things hopping around here. I hope they have done wonderful things since then. The latest DT's Deb and Jenn are going to be missed so much. I met Jenn in person at cha and wow is she a doll. I am so fortunate to have met her. We had many nights of giggling at CHA. OHHH wait Heather and I were giggling all night long while Jenn slept through it. LOL!! ARRRGGHHHH Mattey!! (inside joke there) What a time we had. Jenn is a very talented lady and I know she will be on a new design team soon. We will see her work in more books and magazines. This girl is going to be known in the scrapbook world, mark my words. Deb has started designing a kit club for a friend of hers near where she lives. I wish her tons of luck with it and huge successes. Debbie's style of scrapbooking has always been a favorite of mine. I hope to create projects as beautiful as hers some day. Debbie is one of the sweetest ladys to talk to and was wonderful to me always. I wish all these girls the best life has to offer!!! I will miss them as they move on. I sure hope they do not become strangers to the board and still post with us. May all your dreams in the world of scrapbooking come true.

So no kit club for 2009! :( But we are in the works for some amazing talented designers to come here and teach classes in the store front and online for us. Anne Marie who is loved by so many is back to run the online crops! Our first one is Jan 9th and will run all weekend. More info coming soon on that. We have many more things up our sleeves but will let you all in on it soon. If you love challenges, raks and fun times then stay tuned!!

Thank you to all who have supported me through the lose of my father In law this summer. Watching someone you love die for a year is not easy. But I sure can say I had an amazing amount of love and support here. I then opened a store front scrapbook store two months ago. It has gone fantastic. Thank you to all of you who shop in there! I am so enjoying it and love being able to meet and talk with people that come in. Opening the store has not come without problems. Trying to balance my time between both stores and my family has been a challenge. A challenge I am learning and trying all the time to improve. I think I am learning lots of new things and will be able to bring my customer service both online and in store back to the best it always was! No kits and learning more and more all the time is going to make things flow easier! I am very excited about the new year ahead. I hope you will join us in the venture!

I want to close this post with a request for prayer for a dear friend Leslie. She has 8 brain tumors and is going through treatments right now. I believe with all my heart and soul that miracles happen and in the power of prayer. So if you have a moment during this busy time of year please say a prayer for her to be cured and to make it through the treatments with as little pain as possible. If you don't know Leslie you are missing out, she is one fantastic lady. Love you Leslie!! We should expect miracles!!!

So again have a Merry Christmas and the most wonderful new year possible!
Hugs to all,
Stacey

Guess who is back by popular demand? and a daily deal.....

2008-11-23T20:22:00.000-08:00

I am so excited to announce that.....
ANNE MARIE is back at AMR and going to be our new hostess for Crops for the new year 2009!!! We all know she will do a fantastic job. I hope you all will welcome her back and let her know how happy you are that she will be a part of the AMR crew again. I know Heather and I are so excited and look forward to the fun things Anne Marie comes up with for all of us.

For anyone new to the message board that may have missed when Anne Marie was our mb moderator here is some info about her.....

From Anne Marie...

I'm married to a great guy and have 2 beautiful teenagers and precocious soon-to-be 5 year old. I've been creative and crafty all my life, and I started scrapbooking in 1997. I was a CM consultant for 8 years, and one of my favorite things about that job was meeting other women and getting to know them and their families through their photos and stories. Right now my biggest scrapbooking project is my family history. I've always been entranced by the stories of my Italian and Irish ancestors, and I was honored to pick up the role of family historian from my brother who died eight years ago. I've spent the last few years fact-checking, documenting,and compiling all the photos, certificates, and loose notes into a book that I hope will be finished -- printed and bound -- in time for my father's 92nd birthday in February. I've had the pleasure of being a member of the All Moments Remembered message board from the beginning, and I feel like I know most of the gals there as well as I know my own family. In fact, many of them ARE like my family! I'm really excited to help Stacey plan and organize the monthly online crops, and I'm even more excited to be part of the fun at AMR again. I've been super busy with family issues, but I've really missed everyone here!

Here is her blog also... http://restandbethankful.blogspot.com/

Now for the daily deal......... Today only ALL stamps in stock are 20% off. I did not go into the store and change all the stamp prices. But if you order any please just put in the message box 20% off stamps.

All Moments Remembered online and brick and mortar come together....

2008-11-07T19:35:00.000-08:00

living my dream has never been so much fun.....

So when you open a scrapbook brick and mortar store there is sooo much to buy. Not just your wonderful fun products. You have all the display raks, hooks, shelves, cash register, register counter top and on and on. So I have been trying to save money on many items so I can put more into the products for the store. I bought this counter site unseen off of craigslist. I still remember my hubby calling me saying before I load this 600 lb thing do you want to know what it looks like? I said NAH for the price I will make it work. Well he showed up with it and it is bright turquoise sides and peach/pink top. Okay so not fancy by no means but hey there are locking drawers and lots of shelves on the back side. The colors are growing on me and more people then not that walk in say WOW I love it. SO here is the best part..... My online message board girls had a challenge to make a layout about what they loved about AMR. Another member put this on. So after they made these layouts they sent them to me to display. I proudly display them on my counter side.... When you walk into the store they are the first thing you see. Everyone loves checking them out. I hope to get more to add to my collection. I just love how my online girls and my in store girls are all such a great part of my life!! I appreciate them all. Thanks to the girls who sent these to me!! They are beautiful.

Classes have been going super at the store. I am find I have way more interest in card making them layouts right now. We did beautiful Noel cards last week with stamps by Rubber Stamp Tapestry. Then this week we did four cards for everyday reasons. My favorite was a technique I learned on Tim Holtz blog. We did the inking of stamps and then used our mini misters for a water color effect. I loved it! The ladies all loved it. We also used some gorgeous dragonfly stamps and did them the same way. We had a lot of fun creating 4 different cards and getting to know new friends.

Quilling..... Anyone still do this? I had always thought it was beautiful but would be way to hard. I had a customer and new friend come into the store and show me some of her work. She is now teaching a class for me on quilling. I think it will be so much fun and gorgeous for all of us card makers. She makes it look so easy too. I will let you know how it goes. I am excited to try this new paper adventure. This class is Dec. 9th at 6:00 and filling up fast so come in and sign up soon.

If you would love to chat with other scrapbookers and have been looking for a friendly place to land, we have a great message board for you to check out. Come sign up and join in on the fun.

Have a fun and beautiful weekend!!!

Stacey

Dreams do come true.....

2008-10-18T16:59:00.001-07:00

Starting All Moments Remembered online was such an incredible time for me. I loved each and every moment of it. I still love it. My message board is filled with girls that are now like family and dear friends. But recently I opened a brick and mortar store in my town. WOW WOW WOW!! The fun I am having being able to help people in person. It is just so much fun. The store is more busy then I ever dreamt it would be in this short of a time. Dreams do come true!

Pictures of the All Moments Remembered Brick and Mortar store

2008-10-09T17:14:00.002-07:00

So I opened a brick and mortar store..... Three weeks later I found the place I opened in was way to small. I had lots of customers coming in but the feel and size of the store was not working for them or myself. So we had our grand opening there since we had advertised it on a Sat. Packed it all up on Sunday and went and bought new displays too. Moved in on Monday to the new bright cheery store. Opened for biz in Tuesday and had a small first class on Tue night. Now I just need to figure out how to skip sleep!! LOL!!

I have tons of new product coming so I can fill up the store with yummy goodness. I will also have it all stocked on my online. Yippppeeee!

This is the entry when you walk it. Kinda like a little mud room as you come through the front door of the old house.

My stamp area I am using my MIL's Hutch (she passed away and gave it to me). Plus the table that goes with it is set up at all times in the store. Makes me feel like she is with me! She would be so happy.

Another view....

My demo table or scrap table is someone comes in to scrap. For classes I push displays back and bring out all the folding tables. Works fantastic. I still need to decorate like crazy!! But I think it is pretty good for doing it so quick. Don't you love the pergo floors in there?

Here is my first class. Only had 6 but was booked with 10 so need to work that out so I do not have that happen often. On the far left is Peewee24 and the middle is Marinn from the message board. Total riot these two are.

Two more sweeties working hard! The one in the red and black is a teacher I worked with last year.

This is one of the ladies finished boot albums. They all did a beautiful job and were so much fun to hang out with.

So I finally have all my scrapbook stuff in one place. I can do all my online and kits in the store. No more working at the shop and from home. I can only say this is such a dream come true for me!! I thank all my girls on my Message board most of all for the incredible support they have given me in love and purchases!! This was all made possible thanks to my online customers! THANK YOU!!!!

2008-10-09T17:14:00.001-07:00

Come scrapbook with Ali Edwards, myself and many many more.....

2008-09-26T20:36:00.000-07:00

I am so excited to jump into this adventure next week. Ali is taking us all on an adventure to discover our lives for one week. To get pictures of it. To write about it. To put it together to keep as a treasure. Please go to Ali's blog and read all about it and JOIN US!!! I will post where I am at with it daily starting Monday. Leave comments here and let us know how you are doing on it and any highlights or ideas you have for it.

With the passing of Aleida I am so into the idea of us all doing these kind of projects. We need to make sure we leave behind these treasures about ourselves to our loved ones.

Leave me a note here if you plan to join us on this venture!!

The brick and mortar store is going super. I am having lots of fun meeting scrappers in person. We are adding more and more classes and bringing in new product weekly. Stop by and see us if you are in the area!!

Have a fun weekend,
Stacey

Why we must scrapbook.... With such sadness I write this blog...

2008-09-12T15:38:00.000-07:00

It brings me great sadness to tell you all that our dear blogland friend Aleida Franklin was involved in a tragic car accident and has passed away. This was taken from the Studio Calico board where she was a valued member...

Only met her through my computer but wow did I like her. She had such a zest for life. I loved her spunk. Her talent was beyond amazing. Her love for her family could be felt 1000's of miles away. I am so sad that this has happened to her and her family. While thinking about this with great sadness it reminded me why we MUST scrapbook!! What a treasure Aleida left for her children and family. I am making a vow in honor of Aleida to work on my pages! To get my words written out. To document our lives. I also will get back to work on my " Book of Me"
Aleida is a friend and customer I will dearly miss. My heart, love and prayers go out to her family.

Joanna Campbell Slan
Although I was born in Jacksonville, Florida, I grew up on the banks of the Wabash River in Vincennes, Indiana. Since it was a tiny community, I could walk the thirteen blocks to our local library. I'd come back with arms full of books which I would start reading on my way home. (I wouldn't recommend that. I tripped a lot. I still have scars on my knees.)
My two favorites were A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and Jane Eyre. Since my dad was an alcoholic, I needed assurance that I could escape my beginnings. These books saved my life and gave me hope.
Which is why I wanted to be a writer. I wanted to tell stories that could change people's lives. At the very least, I hoped what I wrote would help people through the dark times...just like Betty Smith and Charlotte Bronte helped me.
This fall I'm reaching a personal goal. Paper, Scissors, Death, the first book in my Kiki Lowenstein Scrapbooking Mystery series, will debut September, 2008, from Midnight Ink. (Of course, I have also written ten non-fiction books, but there's something REALLY special about fiction.)
I love writing. I mean, I actually enjoy the process. I have worn nine letters off my keyboard. No one in my family can use it but me. Next to writing and reading, my favorite things have always been animals and crafts. Growing up, my dog Lady was my best friend. I also spent many happy hours lost in the joy of making "stuff." Back then I was armed with scissors, crayons and paste. Now I have all sorts of wonderful scrapbook supplies. It's true, you know: You can never have too much paper!
I'm a happily married wife and a mother. My husband is David Slan, owner of Steinway Piano Gallery and a semi-pro poker player. Our son Michael is a senior in high school. We live outside of St. Louis with our two dogs, Victoria and Rafferty. You can always email me at mailto:joannaslan@aol.com?Subject=Visited%20Your%20Website. Just make sure the subject line says something like "visited your website."

If you love scrapbooking and papercrafting and if you enjoy a good book, you’ll probably like

Paper, Scissors, Death:
A Kiki Lowenstein Scrap-N-Craft Mystery. It’s my newest book and it’s a scrapbooking mystery, although you don’t have to be a scrapbooker to enjoy it.
Paper, Scissors, Death tells the story of mousy housewife Kiki Lowenstein. She has two great loves in her life: scrapbooking and her eleven-year-old daughter Anya. When her husband George turns up dead in a hotel room, Kiki refuses to accept his death was an accident. To make ends meet, Kiki must get a job at Time in a Bottle, St. Louis’s premier scrapbook store. She figures it’s the perfect place to snoop around. After all, she’s a mom, and moms are invisible, right? Kiki vows to track down her husband’s killer—and along the way, she uncovers George’s sordid secret life. Worse yet, the murderer is wise to Kiki. Finding out who caused George’s death might cost Kiki her daughter and her life.

Sprinkled throughout the book are scrapbooking tips. Since I’ve been scrapbooking since 1998, I trotted out many of my best ideas!

As a special bonus, at the end of the book there’s a coupon for 50 free digital prints from Snapfish. And if you buy it from Amazon, it’s a super bargain. Okay, 50 prints at 30¢ each is $15, and Amazon has priced the book at $10.17, so you can put that extra savings into…MORE PAPER!

Remember those Calgon commercials? “Calgon, take me away?” Books have always been more effective than bubble baths for me. Each day as I sat down to write about Kiki, I forgot about all my own troubles. My dog, Rafferty, would tug on my sleeve around 5 o’clock to tell me it was quitting time.

I hope Paper, Scissors, Death does the same for you! To order your copy, go HERE. To read a preview of the book, with recipes and a “how to” for making a small album, go to http://www.joannaslan.com/.

Melon Bloom album
Berry Bloom album
words from Christine:
There's a big'ol window on the cover of this mini album. With some magical thinking and a heavy dose of uncertainty, I decided to adhere elements to the back of the window so they would show in the front. That left me with quite the mess on the back, so I covered the back of the cover with a large sheet of pattern paper and used it to journal an introduction

journal an introduction

If you would love to see all the details of Christine's album please visit her blog and also leave her some AMR love. I am sure this album was made with so much love but also had to be something that so touched her heart and I am sure many tears from beautiful memories were shed while creating this. She is such an inspiration to me in life alone! Then bring in the creative things she does and WOW!

Thank you Christine for allowing me to use your photos!!

Order your albums soon before they are all gone!

Feel the heat wave of Maya Road at All Moments Remembered...

2008-08-09T12:27:00.000-07:00

As if the summer hasn't been hot enough, CHA-S and MAYA ROAD helped to turn the temperature up a little more! Can you feel it from where you are? If you haven't felt the wave of heat from where you are, keep reading. We'd like to share with you what all the excitement is about.

Maya Road product releases are the best and hottest yet! So, what's all the hype about?

They not only added great new products to existing lines, but they also added two brand new product lines that might have caught you by surprise ... acrylics and Maya Mists.

Their mists weren't the only product retailers were buzzing about. Their new acrylic line was at the top of the list of things retailers were "pouncing" on. The quality and clarity of this acrylic line is amazing! It's so THICK and fun to work with, and the choices are aplenty. One of the favorite pieces is their new acrylic Calendar Stand. The base is acrylic and the pages (12 of them) are tabbed chipboard. Whether for a calendar, or a collection of special recipes, this is sure to be a TOP seller.

They also had rave reviews on all the new products they added to their existing Trinket line. Six new colors in the velvet pleated blossoms were just the beginning! They have two new fabric flowers (each available in 6 colors). Felt Beaded Blossoms and Suede Stitched Blossoms are a sure winner for your Fall scrapbooking needs.

We will be stocking the All Moments Remembered store full with Maya Road products. Be sure to stock up your supplies of Maya Road at All Moments Remembered. Send your friends and let anyone looking these great products to check out the store here. I hope you have had the pleasure of chatting on our message boards. We have one of the sweetest most supportive groups of ladies out there. Today we even have an online crop going on put on this month by our message board members. Be sure to register for the board and start having fun with a great group of scrapbookers.

I hope to have lots of the Maya Road products listed in the store by the end of the weekend. It is all new release items sooo they are not in stock yet.

From my heart, August Rush and Ali Edwards remind me....

2008-08-06T09:06:00.000-07:00

Must See Movie!! AUGUST RUSH....

Last night I watched the movie August Rush. I loved it! I am sure many of you have already seen it long ago but I hardly ever watch TV or movies. I love movies that touch my heart. I love movies that make me think. So while I was watching it Ali Edwards came to my mind. I know crazy isn't it? She is someone who I admire for her work and writings. I have met her twice now and think she is even cooler in person each time I have met her. But why did she pop in my mind while watching this awsome movie? In the movie this child/boy hears beautiful music that others miss hearing. It is out there but we do not hear it like he does. He took the time to listen deeply! Listen with his ears but also his heart. It was so amazing how beautiful sounds can be in every day life if you take the time to listen. So this is where Ali came in.... I hope she will inspire you like she has me. I take her CAPTURE THE MOMENT saying to heart! Let me explain by telling you the story from CHA summer 2008.

( now to look at this picture and know she is pregnant in it is so cool!)

You all know meeting Tim Holtz was huge for me at this show since I missed him at the winter show. I just so admire his work and wanted to meet him in person. Not only did I get to meet him but I spent about an hour watching him create beauty with his products! Did you all know you can form grunge board with heat? I had no idea and I sell lots of grunge board. I will post more on this forming of it in another blog. I now have tons of Tim Holtz products on their way to fill my store and for my personal use. I will be listing lots today in the store. If you have not play with Tim Holtz products it is a MUST! No need to be scared! Go to his blog and see his online classes to use his products. You can find his products in the AMR store. If there is anything I am missing you want from his line let me know and I can get it in for you.

SO anyway to make a longggggg story short, he had Ali Edwards come in and show off Alcohol inks while he took a much needed break. She was so funny and so REAL with this. She picked up the ink bottles and said "OKAY we are just dropping today!" Oh and she meant it! She had sheets of acrylic from Hambly and a cut out acrylic "Simon" name book from Clear Scraps. She picked up the inks and just went for it. Dabbed with a dadder, dropped from the dropper. All along I am thinking I would never in a million years do that. NOPE! And if I had I would have tossed it out thinking it was not good enough that it was way to random. She pointed out how beautiful it was and how cool the colors were. She had us watching the colors mix together and move on their own on the acrylic. You have to see this blog of her's to see some of what she ended up with by doing this... It really turned out gorgeous! I remember standing there thinking, wow how cool is she that she could stop to see the beauty in it. If you read her blog you will know she see's beauty in things we all often miss. So how the movie and Ali come into my mind at once is, I need to stop and be still more often. Stop and really listen to the music out there that I am missing being to busy and hurried. Maybe missing just simply by talking to much and not being quiet and listening. Watching that movie touched me to slow down and listen. Then Ali came to mind to remind me to slow down and SEE!!! Really see everything out there. CAPTURE THE MOMENT. Sometimes I sit on my front porch and I can now say I bet I miss so many beautiful small things right in front of me. When I am done with this blog I plan to get a refill on my coffee, and sit in my favorite chair on the front porch and SEE and LISTEN. Can you take a moment to do this today? Ali and August Rush to me remind me to slow down and enjoy each day, each sound, each item and hear and see the beauty around me.

Life has been so busy for my family this summer. My Father inlaw (Tom) had been ill with ALS for the past year. I went to CHA in July, had a wonderful time and learned lots. Came home that Sunday after the show to go straight to my FIL's party. We had a party to celebrate his life with him there, still very much alive. It was one of the most beautiful days of my life. He said before going to bed that night it was the best day of his life. My Father inlaw passed away that following Tuesday with all of us around his bedside. As sad as it was it was the most beautiful and touching moment of my life. I can so clearly remember, hearing his breath get so slow and so quiet. The wind was slightly blowing outside. We had the window open and you could hear the sound of the aspen leaves rustling. The birds were singing and if you listened hard enough you could hear the heartbeats of everyone in the room while we held my father inlaw and watched him leave the earth. It took something so huge for us to all stop and SEE and LISTEN to the beauty that surrounds us. Since that day I have been moving on keeping super busy and missing SEEING and HEARING. Watching that movie, thinking of Ali, and remembering July 22nd when my father inlaw passed reminded me to STOP and slow down! We all need to do this as often as possible. I am going to take my first cup of coffee every morning now and be still and listen, and be sure to capture the moment with my eyes wide open so I can SEE also. I wish this for all of you...

From my heart,

Stacey

CHA.... Crate paper, Pink Paislee, Ranger and Tim Holtz,

2008-07-25T16:37:00.000-07:00

Okay so I never post pictures of me. I always hate them. But then I would not be able to show you me with the girls at CHA so you get one or two me! This was at the Kaiser make and take table. What a great company. Love love love all of their great products. The woman (Melissa) who helped us with the make and takes was such a kick to and made it so much fun to hang out there. So here is Heather, Jenn and I at cha, (I am on the one on the bottom right).

Here is Julie from our message board (designs for clear scraps), Heather, Me, and Jenn...

Crate paper??? Do you love it??? Lots of new paper packs coming in from their new releases! I can hardly wait for it to get here. Gorgeous stuff!

Pink Paislee was a huge HIT again this show. We bought both lines and everything in each line for the store soooo keep an eye out. They said it should be shipping in 3 weeks. Both lines are simply gorgeous!!!!

Here is a beautiful layout made my Heather Prins using the the new Pink Paislee line - Pop Fashion, some Chatterbox pink Artsylicious, Prima flowers & bling, American Crafts glittered thickers, My Mind's Eye transparency and Karen Russell's Bloom line journaling book (Creative Imaginations)!

You all know I just love my Timmy. We let me just say his products and the other products at Ranger were simply incredible! They made wall hangings and so much more that were like pieces of fine art. I can hardly wait to get some time to play with the new things I learned how to do from Timmy. Can I just also say he is even nicer in person then you can ever imagine. Very down to earth and if he has a fat head you would never ever know it! Awesome Guy!!

We are slowly but surely moving on with our lives around here. This has been a very tough week. Tomorrow my oldest daughter is coming to visit. I can hardly wait to pick her up at the airport. I miss her to pieces. Then Sunday we have my youngest daughter birthday party. SO lots around here keeping me busy. I think for the time it is a GOOD thing.

I ordered tons and tons of the new products coming out soon. The store will be stocked. Our kits starting in Oct will have new releases and be more stocked then ever before for the same price. Be sure to get your subscription in before they are sold out. I think we have a couple left still for Sept.

HUGS to all,

Stacey

Thank you to all my message board girls, blog friends and DT's

2008-07-23T21:32:00.000-07:00

The plants, flowers and cards have poured in. How do I ever say enough for you all to understand just how much it has meant to be and my family? You have filled our hearts with smiles and made us shed a few sweet tears. I just want you all to know how much I so appreciate all the kind words and heartfelt love you have sent to us. I tried to post a picture of the flowers, plants and cards but Blogger is not letting me, sorry.
Just know how blessed I feel to have friends like all of you.

Today has been a roller coaster of emotions. Caught myself wanting to tell him something about CHA, but that will happen no more. Makes my heart so sad. Every time I feel overcome with the grief I try to picture him and my MIL walking hand and hand again. I have tried to keep myself busy today with store stuff and birthday shopping for my DD. It's the moments I slow down that it all hits hard. I think I will keep myself busy for a very long time.

Be sure to remember to appreciate what you have in life! Appreciate and love the dear family and friends you have. While I was driving today I had to call my DH and just say " THANK YOU for the wonderful life we live and all the love he shows the kids and I" how blessed am I to have that. Don't waste any moments! This is so why we girls scrapbook too... We want to preserve the memories for those we will some day leave behind. Keep scrapping and writing the stories!

Thank you again for making me feel very special!
Hugs,
Stacey

In loving Memory of my Father inlaw Tom...

2008-07-22T07:13:00.000-07:00

Today after a year long fight with ALS ( Lou Gehrig's disease ) we must sadly say good bye to my father inlaw. I could write a book on all the loving things he did for all of us. He lived a good honest life and had a deep caring for everyone. He was my biggest supporter of starting All Moments Remembered. He has encouraged me the whole way. I will continue running this business with my heart but also in honor of him.

God looked around his garden and found an empty place,
He then looked down upon the earth, and saw your tired face.
He put his arms around youand lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautifulhe always takes the best
He knew that you were suffering he knew you were in pain.
He knew that you would never get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb
so he closed your weary eyelids, and whispered, "Peace be thine,"
It broke our hearts to lose you.
But you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you the day God called you home.
Thomas Kinkade

I will miss you forever Tom!!! We all so love you! Good bye until we meet again...
Stacey

Sharing Your Story: Recording Life's Details with Mini Books by Ali Edwards

2008-07-21T15:46:00.001-07:00

Back from CHA, what an amazing trip it was. I had the pleasure once again of talking with Ali Edwards and watching her do her magic on a mini album in person. How do you explain Ali??? REAL!!! She gets it!! She is one of us who just love this industry but filled with amazing talent. We watched her in the Ranger booth work with the inks and dyes on acrylic albums. Like Ali called it, she was " JUST DROPPING" dropping drops of inks on the acrylic to see what we could come up with from the inks. Not worrying about being perfect but having fun making the album to preserve memories! I admire her even more and she gave me a boost of courage to try more things and go easier on myself with them.

I had her new book "Sharing Your Story: Recording Life's Details with Mini Books" by Ali Edwards in my hands at the show. Girls this is a must have! This book is $19.99 and the information you will read and learn from in this book is PRICELESS!! You can now preorder the book which will be released the first part of August in the All Moments Remembered Store. I have ordered a large stack of them but would love to have more idea so I know if I need to order even more. So please save your place in line for this book by placing your preorder today. You will not be charged until the book ships out to you.

Heather Prins ( AMR Design Coordinator) with Ali at CHA.

Jennifer Emch (Design Team member) with Ali at CHA. Jenn has had the pleasure of working for Ali at a couple CKU's. Wild to see Ali walk up and hug someone you are with because Ali knows them. WOW!!!

This is Ali giving Tim Holtz his much needed break at the Ranger booth. Notice Timmy talking with someone in the back ground!! Ali showed us how to use the Tim Holtz™ Adirondack® Alcohol Inks. She had this very technical name for it even... Just dropping!! These inks are on their way to the store now!! SO keep a watch out and we will also be adding some great links on using them.

All Moments Remember kits will be selling out even faster when everyone starts seeing the new product lines we will be stocking our kits with. The kits have always been stocked with yummy goodness. They will be stocked even fuller at the same price to you with all the new CHA goodies starting in Oct. If you have not signed up yet for a subscription you need to run to the AMR store and be sure to get your name on the list for your kits!! Don't wait until they are sold out. We still have a couple left for Sept's kit but like always they will soon be sold out too.

I will be posting more pictures and stories from CHA daily so please be sure to come back and visit.
Have a beautiful week and hug those you love,
Stacey

Have you said THANK YOU?

2008-07-04T10:58:00.000-07:00

Happy 4th of July. Have you remembered to say thank you to all the families who fight in our war or stay back at home and care for everything alone while a family member is off making sure we have our freedom? Freedom does not come cheep and many families pay the ultimate price. THANK YOU to all of them!! Thank you for allowing me to live my dreams and raise my children with freedom. I appreciate you all!!

And I'm proud to be an American,

where at least I know I'm free.

And I won't forget the men who died,

who gave that right to me.~Lee Greenwood

May this holiday weekend remind you to appreciate all you have,

Stacey

This month's write up has a special place in Heather's heart. You see 7 years ago she lost her best friend. She was 32 years old and she died of Colon Cancer. She was a beautiful, wonderful person and the world just isn't the same without her. Since her death I have had the same dream many times (not so much now) and I believe she came back to me this way until I was ok. I have felt her around me so many times but these dreams are so amazingly real, I can hardly even describe them to you in the detail that I feel them... a breeze across my face when the window is closed, the warmth of her hand in mine, the cool grass beneath me - I feel it all and it makes me smile, because those lost loved ones really are only a breath away from us.

Heather's inspiration for the kit..
The path is dark, a little frightening. I feel the soft cushion of pine needles beneath my feet, muffling the sound of my steps. I can smell the heady scent of the forest, the moss on the trees is soft to my touch. There is a light up ahead! I am drawn to it. I feel myself skipping towards it, then running and then...I see it- the most breathtaking sight I have ever seen!! The birds, the butterflies, the scent of a million flowers all dancing in the gentle breeze of this perfect woodland meadow. I squint my eyes against the sun, looking for something, but I am not sure what. And then, there you are! Beautiful, as always, and smiling. As I reach out for you I see a little hand, mine, but much smaller, and it is then that I notice the little white dress and my tiny barefeet. When I look up, I see that you are you, but younger too! I run to hug you and we laugh and giggle like the children we are. Holding hands we dance through the flowers. I see the breeze lift your hair and watch as the silken strands dance in the wind. We spend the day together in this vibrant, natural place but the day goes by too fast and we collapse near the waterfall, to gaze up at the stars that are just beginning to come out. I feel the tears stream down my face when I think about not seeing you again. To have this day again, to laugh with you, hug you and just be near you is a true treasure. I feel my breath quicken as I realize I only have moments with you now, I squeeze your hand tighter and vow never to let you go, please don't go! You smile at me and all at once my sadness disappears and I am filled with the most incredible feeling of love. You are not gone from me, you live here, in my heart, only a breath away. In a blink you are gone and as I sit on the cool grass I can still hear the song of your laughter echoing through the valley and as I get up to leave, the prettiest little dragonfly rests upon my arm, as if guiding me home.Blinking I sit up...where are you? was it just a dream? It felt so real but the hand clasped in mine is my own. The breath I had been holding rushes out in a laughing sigh, as I let go and rest my hands beside me on the bed. The meadow is gone, replaced by the shadowy stillness of my room. I climb out of bed, shaking the last vestiges of sleep from my head, still caught somewhere between our dream time and the reality of my world, without you. It is then that I notice the iridescent wings of the creature poised delicately on my window, shining, flickering in the early morning light. And I smile as the dragonfly takes flight. "Au revoir, my friend, come and visit me again"

Don't forget to come join us over on the MB on Saturday July 12th fro 4-12am EST for our online crop. I will reveal all the DT work then as well as the amazing designs from our guest designer this month - Danielle Flanders!!!

Sneak Peaks for the All Moments Remembered July kit...

2008-06-30T14:42:00.000-07:00

Every month I think wow this is my new favorite kit none can ever be as beautiful. WRONG each month I fall in love all over again. This month is no exception and if you are one of the lucky ones to receive our kit you are going to fall in love too. Here are a couple sneak peaks before we show all tomorrow. We have one or two kits left so be sure to get your order in...

These top two sneaks are designed my Debbie Sherman...

These sneaks have been designed by Jenn Emch...

All Moments Remembered Kit Club, Danielle Flanders guest designs for us and some new scrapbook supplies in the store...

2008-06-29T11:54:00.000-07:00

Ahhhh the beautiful June kit... It was another beautiful kit that sold out as fast and we could put it together. We do have a couple of the July kits still available so be sure to subscribe for yours. Reminder we will not have an August kit but will pick right back up in September. The reviews on the monthly kit club have been raving!!

Once again pictures do these next three packs of paper justice. Vita Bella is simply beautiful.

Inque Boutique paper packs are wonderful! They add in a full 12x12 sheet of chipboard to go with the papers. If you have a boy the " out of this world" is perfect for so many scrapping moments. The memoirs paper pack is very lovely and one you can use for all occasions.

Danielle Flanders

We are sooo excited to have her create with our July kit. Please check out her blog and leave her some AMR love. Her work is amazing and we are so proud to have her do some designs for us.

WHAT on earth do you wear to meet Tim Holtz???

2008-06-28T18:18:00.000-07:00

CHA is just weeks away... There is NO way I can go to this one and miss out on meeting my Timmy. BUT then there is the what do I wear? I mean of course comfort would be nice since we all will be on our feet for days and days. BUT then we will be getting a picture and I want to look nice as that picture will then be pasted everywhere. LOL!!

Ever have a friend who you are so close to and admire so much but never met in person? Heather Prins is that person to me. I could not do this whole All Moments Remembered like I do with out her. She is the other half of my heart. On July 17th I finally get to meet Heather and see her face to face. We talk every couple days and email daily but to finally see her with my own eyes and just sit and talk and laugh out loud will be so much fun. Heather and I will be meeting Jenn in person from our design team too. We are going to be like a bunch of giggly girls I am sure. Karla Dudley will be our lunch date one day too. Julie from Clear Scraps and our message board is going to be another one I can't wait to hug!! HEY what are the chances you think of me flying on the plane again with Ali Edwards, Donna Downey and Stacy Julian like back in Feb???? Would that be wild?

2008-06-27T22:19:00.000-07:00

Mice, Bunnies and Bears OHHHH MYYYY!!! These are all simple so adorable. For all you stampers out there who love to make cards and such they are a must add to your collection of stamps! The sweetness on the faces will warm your heart. These are on preorder in the All Moments Remembered store right now. My first order of them will be on Tuesday morning. So if you want to be sure you can get a certain one be sure to place your pre-order. You will be charged for it once I am shipping it to you. I will be stocking some in the store but not able to have them all on hand at all times. Pre-order works wonderful if you are willing to wait a bit. Be sure to check out the stamp or preorder section of the store.

We have some very talented ladies on our message board who do a lot of stamping. Then to see how they color them in and what they use is amazing. I have learned a lot from these ladies to make these stamps look as wonderful as they do in these pictures. Join our message board and come learn some new tricks or teach us some of yours. We have a super sweet group!! I also often offer specials to those who are on the message boards.

Have a sweet weekend,

Stacey

Here is a bit about her...
Danielle FlandersUpstate N.Y., United States
Hi! I am a K-6 Elementary Teacher turned stay-at-home mom and loving it! I have 2 beautiful girls, ages 8 and 2. I started scrapping when my first daughter was born 8 years ago, but more recently found on-line sites to share ideas, make friends, and submit my work. Currently I am designing for Pink Paislee, Melissa Frances and Prima Hybrid. You can view my blog at http://www.danielleflanders.blogspot.com. I'm so excited to have been asked to be the guest designer this month! Thank you!
You can see her amazing work here:http://www.slide.com/r/SHHqRcDY2j8dasv_ ... view=large
I cannot wait to see her creations with the July kit!!!

Here is an email I received from a first time kit buyer this June...

Stacey,
I just had to email you. I got my kit yesterday. I had read on the MB how great
they were and expected it would be nice but.....
It really is fantastic!!!!
I was so impressed and I was overwhelmed with scrapbooking products at the time
because I just got back from GASC this weekend and was unpacking my many bags when
the mail came.
I didn't find anything as nice as what was in this kit at the convention--and I took
8 classes!
Thanks for all you do,
Michelle

New adventure for All Moments Remembered... If you have not heard about Croptime let me tell you about them

2008-06-19T14:26:00.000-07:00

Jeni, Ali, Tori, Tess at CHA ( I was so standing over to the side of this picture when it was taken! How fun!)

On my trip to California this past Feb going to CHA, I met some super sweet ladies. Oh I know you all remember me saying I met Ali Edwards and Stacy Julian on my airplane. But these are some other sweet ladies I don't think I really mentioned and should have. Tori is the owner of Croptime and she had two of her sweet friends who work with her on the plane headed to CHA also. I saw them again and CHA and then crazy enough on the way home ended up on a layover in Portland with them. We got talking and exchanged numbers. Tori has since offered me a spot to vend at some of her weekend crops. I am soooo excited to do this. Not only to go sell the scrapbook supplies I have but to get to hang out with these fun gals. Plus think of all the great scrapbookers I will get to meet. So here is the info for any of my Oregon readers to check out. Also the rest of you need to check out there site. My first retreat will be Sept 26th. Wish me luck on selling lots of goodies.
