Another Vintage Layout

Here's a layout we did at our Hostess Scrapbook Club.  I went back and added some extra touches with the Beau Chateau Side Notes.  They're found on page 190 in the Idea Book and Catalog.  They're just $5.95 and can be used on cards, projects or scrapbook pages for a quick touch of elegance.  The papers are Beau Chateau, found on page 184 in the Idea Book and Catalog.  Our Hostess Scrapbook Club is going to make a series of layouts using these papers.  I love the colors and the way they all coordinate.  You can look forward to seeing more layout ideas with these beautiful papers.

How would you like some free ribbon!

How would you like some free ribbon --- like a yard of EACH of the new In Colors?  Place an order of $25. (before tax and shipping) with me and get a free ribbon sampler.  I must receive your orders (with payment) by the end of August for this special offer.  That will be your last opportunity to order from the summer mini catalog, as well.  Your order may be from either catalog or some from each!  If you place an order online through my website, that will count, too.  I will order the ribbon on August 31 and let you know as soon as it comes in and I get it measured and ready for you. 

Place an order of $50. or more (before tax and shipping) and receive 2 yards of each new In Color!!!
While we're at it, how about DOUBLE BINGO POINTS?!!!  For every $25. you order (at one time), your already were receiving one BINGO POINT, but from now until the end of August, you will earn DOUBLE BINGO POINTS!!!  You will use these points at my Christmas party in December.  We are going to play Bingo for some great prizes and have a lot of fun!!!

Here's a peek at the beautiful ruffled ribbon.  You will love it!

A Trip to New Salem / Family Time Fun

We have the pleasure of taking some time to enjoy the boys being here with us this week.  Today, it was such a nice day that we decided to take a trip --- to New Salem, Illinois.  Benjamin is still quite 'into' all things Lincoln (and, thus, Aaron is too, as he will try to do whatever Ben is doing:)  It was a busy day and they boys really enjoyed exploring New Salem.
