Look at the pics of my final project. I only added three pages but have a lot of space for adding pictures and journaling cards. I made this mini album for my daughter who loves hearts and wings -- you can see this image on the cover. <br />

Not only do I get to spend some quiet time with my husband as we each peruse magazine, but I also get to preview books on crafting, cooking, and photography. Each book is loaded with lots of creative and inspiring ideas and techniques. Today I stumbled upon some idea books that remind me of Jeanette Lynton's idea inspiring books: <i>Reflections, Imagine, </i>and my favorite<i> Cherish. </i> These books are full of layouts, assembling instructions, and colorful artwork ready to inspire anyone. Each booth is versatile for both the beginning and seasoned photobook/scrapbooker. Enjoy being inspired!<br />

I love everything about it. Being able to finally downlowd my pictures into easy to use scrapbook pages really takes my scrapbooking to new heights. Studio J is an online scrapbook design studio...and its wonderful! Plus, once I purchase the layouts, I will receive them in a free memory protector page, free shipping, and JPEG files to share with everyone online.Mimi (Noemi)http://www.blogger.com/profile/02725364669032535587noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612847930602870887.post-58173787946446526142011-08-06T22:47:00.000-07:002011-08-06T22:47:06.302-07:00New Ideas from CTMH...let me show you howClose To My Heart has done it again!

Jeannette Lynton inspired me to become more innovative, crafty, and thoughtful when creating my scrapbook album pages. See the link to her website-blog and you too can be inspired. <br />

You ask what is CTMH? Well, its a great company that offers wonderful scrapbook and stamping products. We offer products that make it "faster, simpler, easier" to scrapbook, stamp, paper craft, and card-making. I've tried other products but really enjoy how CTMH makes it easy and enjoyable. I'm inspired to really celebrate my memories and hope you are too. I can't wait to show others how to use the wonderful stamps, beautiful paper, exclusive stamp pads/markers, and all together they make my scrapbook pages come alive.Mimi (Noemi)http://www.blogger.com/profile/02725364669032535587noreply@blogger.com0
