Woohoo!  New scrapbook supplies are coming!!!!!

Start looking at your favorite scrapbook and craft stores for the five new American Crafts product lines at the end of July. These papers and supplies are absolutely inspiring and drool-inducing (at least, they were for me)! And grab a copy of "Remember This" to get some great layout ideas for using these beautiful new products.


The "Dear Lizzie Enchanted" line will feature big, beautiful flowers, teacups, keys, and butterflies, all somewhat inspired by Alice in Wonderland. These will be the perfect supplies for a whimsical, fairytale-style layout, maybe using photos from a child's birthday party. The papers are beautiful, but my favorites are the gorgeous rose brads!!!!!


"City Park" is full of the bright, modern colors that I love  - green, olive, aqua, and pink. The accompanying embellishments feature fun, colorful buttons that will give your layouts that accomplished-but-handmade look. Inspired by Central Park, this line will be perfect to set-off your photos of a day outdoors at the park, zoo or backyard barbecue.


If you're like me and playing scrapbook-catchup during the summer months, you may find some Halloween pictures from last year that still need to be scrapped. "Boo" features papers that are bright and vibrant, and embellishments and stickers that have a little hint of Tim Burton spookiness . . . .
"Dear Lizzie Christmas", co-designed by Elizabeth Kartchner, will give your Christmas photos and memorabilia a timeless and classic feel. I love the gingerbread men, holly, popcorn garlands and beautiful calligraphy-style letters, but my favorite is the sheet music paper!
Last but not least, "Love" will have you making Valentine layouts year-round. The papers have a vintage feel, but there's a modern pop of aqua thrown in for added effect. Everyone knows that aqua and red is my current favorite color combination, so I'll probably be picking some of this line up soon.
