Are you up on your Pop Culture?

Now in stores... the POP CULTURE collection from KI Memories!  Great bold and colorful papers including shimmery, frosty papers and lace cardstock (this paper is amazingly awesome).  Remember Mad Libs?  The Taglines cardstock stickers are perfect for filling in your own words to create your own journaling block.  There's also clear stamps (one stamp is called 'Sushi', how pop culture is that?!?).  There's also Borderlines cardstock stickers and uber cute "Softies" embellishments with photo corners, mini frames, buttons and accents.  These are pics from the KI Memories booth from CHA Summer for the Pop Culture collection...

Great Christmas products now in stores...

I'm sure you already have all of your Christmas cards made along with all your handmade gifts, right?  Well if you don't, and you're still looking for great Christmas papers and embellishments, come on in- we have lots to inspire your holiday creativity!

One of my favorite lines this season is from K & Company- I love the colors and the 3D stickers (my fave is the bird with the feathers!)...

The Making Memories' "St. Nick" and "Deck The Halls" collections are more of my favorites...

The "Deck The Halls" collection was used to create these cute little CD holders.  What a great idea to give out photo CD's!

The papers were also used to make this paper christmas tree...

Here's the Making Memories "St. Nick" collection...

The best thing about the Making Memories collections are the 12x12 velvet flocked papers...

Ann from the Delaware Cord store created this Christmas layout where she cut out the poinsettias from the flocked paper to add to her page...

I also love using non-traditional colors and papers for my christmas layouts.  The gals from the Dayton store created this two-page 12x12 layout using the 'Laurel' collection from Scenic Route.  It looks perfect using the K & Company 3D stickers (and especially that little bird with the feather tail that I love!)...

To keep the holiday creativity a flowin', here are some more ideas...

Ann from the Delaware store is so creative- she also made these awesome layouts.  This one features ribbons tied side to side on the page (I love it!)....

Some creative inspiration...

Our very own Stephanne Smith created this adorable 6x6 mini album using the Brown window album from the 'Compliments' collection from Tap and also the Metropolitan paper and embellishment collection from American Crafts.  Please note, the Metropolitan collection is arriving soon in the Reynoldsburg, Clintonville, Macedonia, Dayton and Plainfield stores.  Thanks to Stephanne for sharing her creativity and also for featuring her daughter Aubrey Ryan, who just happens to be the cutest little girl on the planet.

There are twelve images- the cover, inside cover and ten pages...
