Annual Inspirations Idea Book Is Now Live!

As you may or may not know, we have a brand new Annual Inspirations Catalog that debuted on August 1. It is fabulous!  There are so many fun, new and creative products I can't list them all here so you will need to take a peek on my website. 

What's New With CTMH

 All of our cardstock are now two-toned. There is a darker shade on one side and a lighter shade of the same color on the back. This makes your cardstock twice as nice and twice as easy to use.  There are 40 colors to choose from or you can purchase them in 10 different color combo packs.

 Our brand new Color of the Year is called Bashful!  It's a gorgeous soft pink, perfect for any season or occasion, and is a must have.  It comes in cardstock (two-toned of course), as a stamp pad and as pigment pad  We also have some fun matching embellishments too.  This color will only be available until the last day of the Annual Idea Book.

 This is the EXCLUSIVE You Are Here Cricut collection.  This amazing new set focuses on travel.  It comes with a 700 image cartridge (or digital download), 3 stamp sets that coordinate with the cuts on this cartridge (valued at $53.85) and a package of Enchantment Combo Pack of two-toned  cardstock (24 sheets).  What an amazing set!

The New Die Cut Alphabet Item #Z33386 

I love this new set.  Use these thin metal dies to quickly and easily cut paper letters and symbols.  Use withthe My Acrylix® In The Background stamp set (D1750) to create pattern letters. Thin Cuts are package on their own magnetic carrier sheet and work well with most die-cutting machines on the market.  I use my fabulous Cuddlebug to cut out mine. The letters dies are approximately 1 1/2" high, and the font is so versatile it can go with any style.

K.I.S.S.
Keep It Simple Scrapbooking

This year, with the new Annual Inspirations, I was inspired to reflect on my own Who Tells Your Story theme that was presented at this years convention.  I realized that I find myself trying to make things way to complicated and needed to simplify my way in which I tell my own story.  This is what got me to want to keep it simple.  KISS.  We have all heard about it, either at work, in class or just with our families.  When you keep things simple, it gets done.  So this is how I want to tell my story.

  This month I am working on a very simple yet lovely  way to preserve memories using our brand new outstanding cardstocks, neutral colors, and taking advantage of this neat company
 Persnickety Prints .
Persnickety Prints gives you high quality prints of your photos at an affordable cost.  They are running a special FREE U.S. shipping on orders $39+ using the code: deliver.

I will post my creations on my blog and set up a link for you to order your own scrapbooking sets to do at home.

For now, think about WHO TELLS YOUR STORY?
