New Breezy Designs

It’s what has kept me with Breezy Design - the beautiful, unique scrapbook product designs created by Designers “The Ettes”. And, just in…the new products have arrived! They are now available, two weeks earlier than scheduled, at My Breezy Shop - so you can start ordering today. I’m already compiling my “wishlist”. LOL!

You will find all new products in the cart now, including:

  • Spotlight — Themed kits with printed chipboard die cuts and foil, flock or glitter applications
  • Big & Fancy Flourishes — Large chipboard embellishments make a bold statement
  • Kleer Kutz — Acrylic embellishments in five stylish shapes
  • Toppings Rub-ons — Featuring themed rub-ons with foil, flock and glitter applications
  • Rub-ons — Classic black & white rub-ons with shapes, alphabets and titles

I’m loving this Playful Spotlight kit (pictured), and the Christmas themed Spotlgiht kit too!  Those are my colors.  Can’t wait to try out some of the new Toppings Rub-ons too - I’ve never worked with foil!  And I think the Kleer Kutz are going to be fun to play with too.  There’s even a Kleer Carefree Alpha sheet.

Check them out for yourself and let me know what you think!

Scrap Facts Guide

I wanted to post my review of a new Scrapbooking ebook - the Scrap Facts Guide. My friend Val Selby has put together an incredible resource that scrapbookers, both novices and more practiced, will find helpful and inspiring whether creating maybe their first, or their 100th layout.

The ebook has a great glossary of scrapbooking terms at the beginning - so you don’t have to keep flipping/scrolling to the back of the book to look something up. Review it ahead of time, and know the “lingo” as you read. AND there is a Table of Contents! Yes, this is a big deal to me, and worth mentioning. It saved me having to scroll through the whole ebook to find what I was looking for.

The Scrap Facts Guide provides a nice list of the basic supplies needed to start out scrapbooking. Plus, some tips that will save the beginner from going out and busting their budget buying unnecessary supplies. Though they could also be suggestions for more advanced tools for those with more intermediate scrapbooking skills. ie. For beginner’s cookie cutters, or other household items might make good basic shape templates, yet for those with more skill (or money) there are templates available in your local scrapbook supply aisle.

Val has also included many techniques within her layout descriptions when offering layout ideas. I like that she’s given me ideas for techniques to use within my pages - not just ideas for layouts. Some fresh Layout ideas! Love the Thanksgiving layout idea using the family contributions. pg. 50.

I found some very useful ideas for scrapbooking with kids, and helping them create their own scrapbook that will definitely fit into my summer plans for spending some of the hotter days in our basement (where my scrapbook area is ;) ). It’ll be a great way to engage the kids! Val gives some great ideas for creating background papers with them too. My boys will definitely be willing to contribute!

The sales page has a lot more information about what all is included in the ebook, obviously more than I can get into here. Check out the Scrap Facts Guide to see what all you will learn for this incredible scrapbooking resource.

Right now, Val is offering an introductory price of $9.95, plus a RARE 30-day, 100% money back guarantee! You hardly ever see that with digital products, yet I myself can pretty much guarantee that you are not going to want your money back! This ebook is a very useful tool - not only for beginners, but even for us “seasoned vets” - this old Scrapper learned some new tricks! LOL!
