New August Collabs Released at Heritage Scrap
JOURNEYS The August Collabs have just been released at Heritage Scrap and what a beautiful collection it is. A striking color palette and a great theme. Here is what Kate, owner of the Heritage Scrap store, wrote about the collection. I felt that her words were so evocative that I included them here. A good friend once mused, as we discussed the summers of our childhood, “Ask me what I did in any given July of my youth, and the days run together in a blur. Ask me about the August’s of my youth and I can nearly relive every single vacation trip. I am instantly a child again, in the back of that town and country, wood paneled station wagon – laden down with nearly everything we owned. I can recall the fragrant mix of Brill Gream, Aqua Net and White Shoulders perfume that would wander back to us from the front seat. I still remember the smell of our skin caked with Coppertone sunscreen, mouths painted with sticky vanilla ice cream from Tastee Freeze and the musky scent of my baseball glove that never left my side. I remember visiting a field of wild buffalo, seeing a giant ball of string, running through a park with gigantic dinosaurs on a mountain top, and driving on narrow ribbons of road that stretched for eternity in between fields of tall stalks of sweet corn and golden, wild grass, listening to the static laced music from the car radio and the entire family singing along to Purple People Eater. There were hot itchy days touring Yellowstone and somber, silent moments side by side at the edge of Gettysburg. Funny, just talking about it now brings my parents back to life. God, we had some great vacations. “ I think we all can easily conjur the memories of our childhood vacations & summer trips – whether they were spent touring the roads of your country, camped out in a forest or stretched out on the sand of gorgeous stretch of shore. It is the best of times. It is when we were able to reconnect with our loved ones and where time seemed to slow down long enough for the simple things to matter again. To embark on a journey is to leave behind the normalcy of everyday life and run with arms wide open into the unknown. Be it a foreign country or neighoring state, the slate is blank. My best journies have been ones where I have thrown away the schedule, grabbed a local map and hit the streets with my camera. My most beloved vacations are those spent near the water - on a river or lake, with nothing to do but pass the time in a huge chaise with a great book. What about you? What are some of your best vacation memories? For our anniversary month, the designers have put together a very fun collection called Journeys. It’s our August Designer collab collection and it will help you scrap some of your favorite travel memories. So, come on - take a trip with us this month and re-visti some of your own fond summer memories. Each kit is only $2.50 for a limited time. |
So Stop by Heritage Scrap and check them out.
And I thought the layouts that members of my CT team did with it were truly delightful.

New Layouts
I just completed this layout of Tyler and Ethan on a recent trip to Universal Studios with the latest (and in my opinion) greatest kit ever from Creative Victorian Designs. And that's saying a lot as she has so many outstanding kits. You can purchase Inner Fire here:
And you can see her other kits here as well. Check out the Companion kit, Inner Storm as well. Another one of my all time favorites.
And I want to share some recents layouts done with some of my kits by members of my CT team:
Above is a beautiful layout that Janet did with Sea Journals, and below are two layouts done by Pauli with SeaSide.
And this one arrived in my email from TazTang68 just as I was posting this.
These kits as well as my other kits and CU products are available in the following stores:

- I'm a scrapbook addict. I've been involved with digital scrapabooking since July 2009, when my daughter introduced me to her favorite hobby. When I'm not scrapbooking (hmm, when exactly is that?), I'm enjoying life with my family including my two daughters and two grandsons, my husband Clemens and my Cavalier Spaniel, Vinnie. My hobbies include photography, reading, biking, and hiking.
