The idea for the collection was a collaboration between Alisha Gordon (my designer), Jody Hunt (the Creative Director), and I; and I'm so happy with how this release turned out. As a scrapbooker myself, I wanted to make sure of a few things. First, was that I wanted the collection to be something you could use throughout the year so we carefully incorporated colors and icons that would work for any seasonal activity you were documenting:
Then we wanted to make sure that you could use the collection to create family calendars (NOTE: these would make great gifts for the holidays), so we created an additional paper collection that includes just the months of the year. Try mixing and matching them with the traditional collection kit for an even more dynamic calendar.
("Red Damask" from the main collection paper - side B)
Then we couldn't leave out all of the pocket-page scrapbookers, so we're releasing two "Pocket Page Cards" packets with months of the year and more generic cards that you can use throughout the year.
And finally, if you want to really dress up your seasonal or calendar pages, be sure to check out the coordinating "Designer Products" including a calendar stamp, months of the year die cut shapes, seasonal dies, and more. These items are meant to work with the calendar paper from the main collection kit and have been scaled to make creating a calendar quick and easy:
Look for this collection to start shipping in November. Be sure to share this link HERE with your favorite retailer so they know how to order it. I can't wait to see what you make with it. It's been a labor of love, and I want to thank Alisha Gordon for making my vision come to life on paper. It's been an incredible journey!
