Message from ME and some Jenni Bowlin coming this way

On December 27th, 2007, we will be unveiling our brand new website! To say we are excited about this would be an understatement!

One of my favorite quotes is "Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly."~Robert F. Kennedy

I am taking this risk with you, my loyal customers and friends, because it is your continued business that propels me forward. My hope is to not only provide you with everything you need to create and enhance your scrapbooking art, but to also provide you with a meeting place, a place where you can visit with friends, shop, and talk "Shop". I envision a place where you can learn new techniques, share your stories and your work with others who will encourage and support each other. It will be a place for the beginner and the more advanced scrapbooker. There will be step by step free online classes, page of the day , best post of the week, best kit layout and lots more fun ways to keep you busy! Oh and did I mention RAKs? Lots of those. So we ask that you bookmark your calendar for December 27 and come join us for a lot of fun, meet our wonderful and talented new Design Team and help us celebrate a brand new beginning...
Smiles as always,
Stacey


How about some Jenni Bowlin in my new product line up? Amazing wicked cute products she has. You will see in some of the new magazines layouts Ali did using items such as the Bingo cards, felt birds and much more from Jenni Bowlin. I will have this in next week. I am betting it will be a quick seller. These bingo cards are going to go fast and I am excited. I hope to see what you all do with yours if you purchase them.




Love these birds! Use a fun punch to cut a design out in the birds chest. Or punch the edges out. The ideas are endless.


Don't you just love these? They are on the way to the store now!

With my new line up of products coming I wonder what else I might be missing. Is there a line you love that I have skipped over? Let me know!! A lot of new things to go along with my tried and true products. Just wait until I get back from CHA! Ohhh the stuff I am sure I will see AND ORDER!!

Have a beautiful weekend,

Stacey

Bo Bunny Word book, Hambly overlay layout and a little more of the Hot Tim Holtz

"Believe" a layout by dawntav1 http://www.scrapinstyletv.com/portfolio/view_layout.php?layout_id=51153&user_id=3972 I still have many Believe Bo Bunny Word books in stock. Once they are gone they are gone.



Waiting now for my Hamblys to come in. I have seen so many beautiful layouts made with them. Have you put your thinking cap on as to which layout you will need some overlays for? I also ordered some wonderful rub ons from Hamby, keep a look out I should be posting them in the store soon. Designed by Lucrecer Braxton


Tim Holtz is hot hot hot and so is his product! LOL!!! Seriously I love all the fun projects he designs. This Believe tag is using some grungeboard. I have lots of grunge in stock ready to be shipped.



I love the Tim Holtz blog he has directions for the items he designs. I like to visit his blog often to get fun ideas. I have a lot more of Tim Holtz items coming in next week. We are really going to start having a lot of fun around here with all the new exciting products.

Scrapbook supplies are not just for layouts any more!

How darn cute is this? Heather who is my DT coordinator and designer made and sent me one of these. It is made with a Starbucks Holiday Coffee cup! She got the idea from Wilna and the link to see more on this is http://www.scrapinstyletv.com/portfolio/view_layout.php?layout_id=50084&user_id=45 I can always count on Heather to find the cutest things out there. She can recreate anything. So not only is her work gorgeous she has a knack for finding others with great ideas. Her and I have been going through the design team entrants. I can just say wow. The talent out there is amazing. I look forward to the day I am busy enough to have a huge design team so I can use everyone. We are getting closer to having our finalist picked out.
Be sure to see Heathers blog for beautiful layouts at
http://www.inthebestworld.blogspot.com/


Now here is something I personally made. It is much harder for me to post things now after seeing the art work that is out there. But there are so many styles of scrapbookers and I want to always keep that in mind. I am more of the simple scrapbooker. I tend to go cutesie but I am really starting to love the more HIP looks too. My boss at my part time day job is the Queen of where I work. So I made her an explosion box for her birthday fit for a queen. I took pictures all over work and added them in. I ended up with 22 pictures inside. It was a fun gift to make and I hope to make a couple more as Christmas gifts.

What kind of scrapper are you? Do you love to try new ideas? I myself love doing the paper craft type things more then the layouts. I am addicted to mini albums. Anything I can get a whole bunch of pictures in all at once it perfect for me. I love the one picture layouts that so many are doing right now. I wish I had more time to do them. Scrapbook supplies are being used in so many ways now, I love it. No matter what kind of scrapper you are I hope you can always find ideas here and all the supplies you need. Have you seen a great project out there? Send me the link. I love new ideas.

Tim Holtz, Daisy D's, Hambly, Basic grey, and Scenic Route will start showing up next week in stock. I will be adding a little more of each line often. I am going to CHA in Feb. and can hardly wait to see what all is in store for us in the scrapbooking world in 2008!!! I can just feel it that 2008 is going to be such a wonderful year to preserve memories and create some wonderful paper crafts. I am excited for 2008 how about you?

Smiles,
Stacey

Quick thinking for a hostess/housewarming gift


Got this great email from Debbie who is a faithful grungboard customer.

Debbie's email...
Last night at 5:30 pm I was cooking dinner and thinking about the next day. Oh, what fun we're going to have. My daughter and I are headed to a friends for a gathering for coffee and play date. I'll get to see her new house.

Her new house. I don't have a hostess gift, much less a housewarming gift.

So, I sat down after dinner and cranked this out. It was so much fun to make that I'm planning on making a few more, a couple for gifts and one for myself.

I inked the edges of the circles and smudged them in a little. After they were all applied, I used sepia toned modge podge on it. Then I applied the "JOY" grungeboard. I think the font of these letters goes perfectly w/ the look.

Don't you love someone who can just whip something up? Or are you one of those who can do that? You know scrapbook supplies are not just for layouts. If you have not ventured out with your scrapbook supplies I suggest you give it a try. I will try to post some fun ideas this week here on the blog. I love what Debbie did here with papers and grungeboard. I think my walls need one of these gorgeous wreaths.

Happy middle of the week tomorrow.

Logo, new scrapbook supply companies, and so much more...

I can hardly wait to unveil the new look of the website. I had a logo designed and it came back even more gorgeous then I had hoped for. Wait until you see it! I am working hard on the new design of the website look. Trying hard to figure out how to add a message board for friendly, fun, inspirational chit chat. I hope to have a gallery up quick too so you all can have a place to show off photos of your work. With all these changes I am also working with others in the industry to help update my inventory. I have lots of new lines coming. My hope is to one day soon make this your one stop scrapbook supply store. Remember the unveiling is Dec 27th.

HAMBLY OVERLAYS! Yes they are going to be in my store soon. They have designed some of the most beautiful overlays one has ever seen. I am excited to have Hambly in my store.


You all have been asking for Scenic Route. Well it is coming too. Isn't this exciting to know that someone has listened to your desires and is working hard to bring them all to you? The heart of All Moments Remembered is all about customer service. The old fashioned kind of service that made you always return to the same store because you knew you would be taken care of. If there is a line you love let me know. I am here to supply you with the scrapbook supplies you want to use to preserve your memories.



Autumn Leaves has some really fun new items out. I will be filling up on some great products from them. Isn't it also all about having fun when you are scrapbooking? Some of us simply scrapbook to preserve our memories for generations to come. Then some of us scrapbook to let the artist out in us. What ever kind of scrapbooker you choose to be I hope to be the store for you.
Basic grey, who does not love everything from their line? I look forward to filling my shelves with their supplies.

Wow the girls that have applied for the design team are ALL amazing. I am going to have to pick a couple and let me say it is not an easy job. I want to make sure that I have many of you also be guest designers for new fun ideas. As the store site grows the more girls I can add to the design team. We are not going to only be a design team I want it to have the feeling of family and friendship. I am super excited to get working with the new design team soon. Now to pick who will be on it. Not an easy task.

Be sure to keep your eyes on All Moments Remembered who is revamping their look and feel here soon. Meet all the girls on the design team and let them become your friends for all the help and inspiration you need.

I hope you are all having a great start to your week.

Smiles and appreciation,

Stacey

How Debbie used her Grungeboard she bought from All Moments Remembered

I love feedback! When a customer/new friend buys a product from me I often wonder what they created with it. Did they like or love it? Did they use it yet? I could go on and on with my thoughts. I love when someone sends me in pictures of what they created. Thank you Debbie for sharing with us. Your layouts are beautiful and fun.


This is for the 12x12 lo ~ light blue and pink:Journaling: She knew how to LIVE. She was loving, giving, and demure. She was kind to everyone. She laughed easily and often. I heard once a theory that God takes us once we've learned all we can from being here...once we're perfect. In her case, that would be apt. Kathleen Diane...mom.





The journaling for the 6x12 lo (green bg):

My goals for 2008

*Train for next marathon

*Be more funky, more fun

*Spend less $ on scrapbooking.

Hahahaha lol! Bet you love that last goal! Seriously. I gotta. I go way overboard. Thanks, Stacey. It's an honor that you want to use this. I didn't know which one you wanted, so I included the journaling for both.
Debbie Finnern


Scrapbooking isn't about memory preservation for some people, it is art a release, it is a lot of things to a lot of people. When you are placing an order and have questions please feel free to email me at Stacey@allmomentsremembered.com
No matter why you personally scrapbook I can help you along on that journey.

I am planning an unveiling of a whole new look for All Moments Remembered Dec 27th 2007. I hope you will plan to join us then and meet our new design team then also. I am working on the idea of a message board. I would love to chat with more of you. We can bounce ideas off each other. Change is exciting when you know it is going to make things even better.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend,
Stacey
