APRIL PHOTO A DAY ALBUM

These are the June prompts for your photo a day challenge.
Have fun snapping those photos!!!
Introducing the April folder album for your photo a day pictures.
Cat used the "Sweet Routine" collection by Webster's Pages for this album.
She covered binder clips and made little "clip boards" for the photos.
This shows one of the "clip boards" with the binder clip up in the corner 
and a pocket to hold your photos.
Flip it over and you have a place to journal about the photos.

I can't wait to see what she dreams up for the May photos!

What's Happening at Cat's This Week????????

MARCH PHOTO A DAY ALBUM

Cat has been busy creating the March and April folder albums for the photo a day challenge.
Above is the March album, using the "Flourish" collection by Authentique.
 It has some pull out mini albums to hold the many photos.
And, the pull outs have pull outs!!!
This is what the inside of the album looks like when you open it.  
I just love all of the hidden places for the photos.

Check back Friday to see what she dreamed up for the April folder album.

TEMPTING TUESDAY

Adornit has come out with their Blender Basics that are color matched to all of their collections. There are 36 papers total. Each of the 12 colors has 3 double sided papers from dots to stripes to brocade. Wonderful additions to your layouts.
More of the beautiful Blender Basics.  I know that Patrice and Nanci stocked up on the Disney colors for their Disney albums.
These are so much fun and add texture to your layout without adding bulk.
The brocade is so delicate it looks like lace!
I have a feeling these are going to be popular!
Bazzill has brought back their popular flowers in limited colors.
StazOn ink is now available in these new "midi" sizes.
Plus, these are all new colors!   
Remember....
If you are stamping on something non-porous,
(glass, metal, transparencies, photo paper, vellum)
StazOn will do it without having to be heat-set.

Come by the store and pick up some of these fabulous products!

Don't you love the watermelon hexagons?!
Cat was inspired by that collection to create this fabulous layout of a barbecue at Nanci's.  She used clothespins down the right hand side to hold letters.  LOVE it!
AdornIt has another great collection called Timberland Creatures.  The animals are ADORABLE in this collection!
Cat used the collection to create this fabulous layout for some fox photos that she took.  Love the burlap in the lower right hand corner!

FANTASTIC FRIDAY FUN


When a product is as beautiful as this one, projects just seem to be screaming to be made.
Cat and Ann have already been busy creating beautiful things with this gorgeous collection.
Ann and Jim go on a sailing adventure every year around the British Virgin Islands.
Ann created this beautiful layout to remember the fabulous time they had while sailing around.
I love the seashells and fish net accents she added to the layout.  She told me she picked the photos that really captured the fun they had during their sailing adventure.
Cat was inspired to create this tag box using the paper collection and a box by Graphic 45.
These are some of the tags she made to go inside the box.
LIKE WHAT YOU SEE????
Join us on June 14th for a "tagging good time".
Spend the day "tagging" with us at Cat's. Start off at 10am making this adorable tag box from Graphic 45 using the beautiful By the Sea Collection.
