Being Thankful By Design Team Thanksgiving is such a special time of year. It is a time when we take a moment to sit back and look at all that we are grateful for. We are all grateful for different things, but I am willing to bet that we all have one thing in common that we are thankful for....our families.

H-O-M-E Project By Julie Slaikjer I decided to create this project after noticing a huge blank spot above the mirror in my entryway. I needed something nice to fill the space and knew I could create it myself. I came across Rusty Pickle's HOME chipboard set and knew it would be perfect for my space.

Hear them roar - Survivor Crop 2009 a huge success By Shannon Fralish You must give some time to your fellow men. Even if it's a little thing, do something for others - something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it.” – Albert Schweitzer

All-Occasion Notes for Kids By Sherri Thompson Kids enjoy receiving cards and a little note tucked into a pocket or lunch box can really make their day. This set of cards can be easily personalized by changing the sentiment and stamped image.

Find the time to scrap this busy holiday season By Shona Cole Ahhh, the holidays. It’s the busy time of year when our family needs us even more than the rest of the year! We have to plan meals, gifts, holiday events and family visits all on top of our usual jobs – keeping up the house, running the kids around town, meeting work deadlines… the list goes on.

Family Gatherings By Design Team This layout is about the day my son, Owen, his aunt and I spent at local pumpkin festival. My sister took this photo of us looking out of the hayride and, to this day, it is my favorite photograph of us. I love how it captures how much fun we were having and the cute face painting he got done that day.

A Rose by any Other Name By Julie Eickmeier The best scrapbook supplies are often found in the oddest places. I was part way through doing a layout on one of the flowers in our rose garden when I realized that not one of the paper flowers I had in my stash was suitable for the look I wanted. As I was making coffee the next morning, I looked at the brown coffee filter and thought to myself...why not? The roses I created out of the filters were just what this vintage layout needed.
11
Harvest Time By Design Team I made this layout with a picture of my little daughter when she was just 18 months old and discovered Fall. She loved the falling leaves!!! I used the new Bo Bunny fall collection 'Delilah'.
12
Tech-Savvy Girl By Nicole Petersen Do you remember Frogger or Pac-Man? A time before cordless phones or even car phones? This picture is of my daughter after school checking her e-mail before she can even think of homework. I wanted to remember what her fingers looked like on her laptop.
13
Holiday Gifts By Judi Kauffman Use rubber stamps and permanent ink to create a scene on the box lid. I chose quirky offbeat houses, imaginary topiary trees, and leaf-winged figures for my imaginary village, but you can use whatever stamps you like.
14
Creating Custom Flowers with Color-core Cardstock By Amy Wilhelms I have had a few colors of Core'dinations cardstock in my stash for quite some time so decided to play around with them a little. I ended up trying out different flowers, my favorite embellishment, and thought I’d share with you the results.

Eugene Dake Whiteman By Sandy Martin I did this layout to pay tribute to my maternal great grandfather, who along with my maternal great grandmother raised my mother for several years after her mother, their daughter, died when my mom was only 5 years old. He was the light of my mother’s world when she was small.

Industrial Candy By Anna Dąbrowska -Pękocka It all happened when I put the photo on the paper one night – somewhere between 12:00-3:00 am the city appeared – all made from inks, squares and rectangles, full of shadows, monochromatic and a bit desintegrated. The title came from one of our favourite songs – “Lost in the city” – sometimes I think this city is also somehow lost…

Kings of the Castle By Jami Petersen Looking for a unique way to add some sparkle to your pages? Don't want to worry about your photos (and you) wearing too much glitter? Jami has just the technique for you...a freeze frame window that will bring out the "glitterati" in all of us.

Neat and Tidy By Jami Petersen Jami is helping a friend get organized. Using some “crafty” containers from around the house and a beautiful line of coordinating papers and embellishments is a great way to upcycle a fashionable desk organizer. Jami’s good deed is a great surprise for someone special.

Brushes & Blending By Vicki Walters Inspiration for this page came from a brush class I am taking at ReneePearson.com. The more layers, brushwork, masking, blending used the happier I am! (Designer Digitals.com)

Square One -T is for Trends, B is for Bree By Judi Kauffman All of a sudden, or so it seems, there are scallop-edged circles everywhere. You've seen them in layouts, they are front and center on cards - a groundswell that began slowly and took root like ivy. Manufacturers of rubber stamps, chipboard, cutting dies, and punches embrace this trend, making it simple for scrapbookers to incorporate the look in whatever way they want.

Baby Kisses By Connie Mercer This album was inspired by my youngest grandson and my sweet daughter-in-law. He is always giving her "baby" kisses and hugs and what a sweet thing to watch. I wanted to capture his love for her in one place.
22
Recycled Fall Frame By Karen Lang This unique frame shows a great way to display your photos in a fun, crafty, and green way! Grab a box that’s laying in your recycle bin, cut a piece for the “frame”, a piece for the easel, and you’re ready to go! Ink or paint as desired, then use our Adhesive Sheets in a different way to adhere glitter to the frame.

Cabinet Card Book By Lisa Kettell From the beginning of time people have been mesmerized by books, the stories they tell, the details they possess and the ability to elapse back into time when reading and holding one. Books allow us to envision other worlds, and daydream about what we could be doing in those worlds, while scrapbooking allowed us to create our own worlds in a personal book, which was our private world.

Card Making with Sketches By Di Hickman I’ve been creating handmade cards longer than I’ve been scrapbooking. Not much longer, but that’s where my creative passion started and now 7 years later I still make all my own greeting cards. Whether it’s to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, holidays or just to simply say “Hi”. One thing I learned early on in cardmaking is that it can be quite time consuming (like all hobbies), one way to make this simpler is to use sketches!
25
Grow and Glow By Tanya Smith I love these pictures of my daughter. I took them in the late afternoon, at the end of our summer vacation; she was looking at the flattened penny souvenir we had just bought hours earlier. It wasn’t about the souvenir- it was about her energy. She was glowing.

Feels Like Fall By Robyn Schaub I held onto these Pumpkin Patch photos for a long time, waiting to find some patterned papers that would do them justice. One day, I was rifling through a BasicGrey Lime Rickey paper pack, and the minute I saw the rich oranges and violet-blue, I knew this was it! It turned out to be a very fun and bright layout.

Thankful for a Wonderful World By Connie Mercer This layout was created in the fall of 2008. It represents the things that are dear to me and makes me realize just how blessed I am.

Structure & Color By Katrina Hunt Jetson, my Cardigan Welsh Corgi, is always happy when he is hanging out at home. One of his favorite places is by his water bowl, where this picture was taken.

Perfect Paper By Lynn Yen Wu Ling This layout is based on a photo of me pouting when I was a baby. I loved to pout then, and the habit still persists! Scrapping this layout is really meaningful and nostalgic as this is a part of my happy childhood that I'll never want to forget.

Butterfly Box By Emily M. Miller and Jill K. Berry I took an excellent class this past August with Jill Berry, a great instructor at Art Unraveled an artist retreat in Phoenix, Arizona. The name of the class was “In This Case”. We made several boxes and cases and I wanted to share this fun origami box with you. You may already know how to make one, if so you’re half way there.

Green Scene By Anna Koziarek Amazing that it took me over two years to finally choose a different theme for a layout than kids. When I developed that photograph that we took by ourselves framing our faces, I simply had to use it. I needed to give evidence of my love to Tom. I chose his favorite color, green, and started putting things together. I used a clock face to symbolize our long relationship, apples as a sign of Eve tempting Adam, a rub-on with a very wise sentiment and everything else to highlight our daily routine.
