Echo Park Mini Book Kit

I loved creating with Echo Park's Times Seasons Line.  It had some of my favorite colors for "guy projects" & great elements.  This mini has plenty of room for full sized photos and lots of journaling.  Most of the pages are patterned paper adhered to chipboard but also several fold outs & 6x8 envelopes to hold ephemera or other sentimental goodies.

This kit is available for sale at EMI Scrapbooking in Cumming GA or online in their Etsy shop here.  You also can always call Susan at the store  770-888-2417 or  email emiscrapbooking@aol.com

As with all our kits they are pre-cut & everything is bagged by page with color photos of the sample.

I've finished a bound book style mini album using Glitz paper that I'm loving right now.  I will be sharing it in a couple days.  There will also be kits available at EMI.  I'm working on several using Teresa Collins' new lines which are my favorite to create them with since her lines are so well thought out that the minis go together so easily & have loads of style.

Hope you have a great day.

Fiskateers Orange Blog Hop

Welcome to our weekend blog hop.  If you've come to my blog from Fiskateer  Marianne then have been hopping along with us.  But I'm sure you will like to start from the beginning so head on over to the Fiskateers blog. Take your time thru the weekend & visit all the blogs.  There are some amazing projects showcased on them.  I'm sure you will be bookmarking or following many blogs along the hop to come back again and again.  Thanks to Debby Lewis for organizing the hop.  So have you been inspired so far.  There are so many creative gals in the Fiskateers group.  I've met so many great people in the Fiskateers group.  


For those of you who don't know me... My name is Suz Gray & I'm known on the web as "craftysuz".  I got that name at age 8 because I would ask for craft kits from the Sears Catalog at Christmas & was always making something.  I'm Fiskateer number 6135.   I'm a longtime scrapbooker.  I have many albums created before there was an industry.  I love anything paper and have enjoyed evolving; developing my style.  I also love to make cards & enjoy sending some of them to Operation Write Home which is an organization that supplies blank handmade cards to our deployed military.  Making cards has caused me to have a "stamp addiction".  To fund my "habit" I sell {ippity} by Unity Stamps here.  All of them are on sale with free shipping.


Sorry for the quality of the photos my so took my DSLR to work so I was stuck with the little old point & shoot at the my LSS & I wasn't used to the lighting there so there are some shadows.  


This is new Fancy Pants Lilac House.  I use my micro point Fiskars scissors to fussy cut images from paper & of course my Fiskars Trimmer..  I'm always using the decorative border punches (I can't believe I didn't use them on any of these pages lol).

No girly layout is complete without some Prima Flowers.

I like stamping on inexpensive canvas from the fabric store.

Echo Park Paper is a new scrapbook company that is stirring up quite the buzz right now.  Here's a page about my best friend Lori & her kitty using their products.

I love the bright colors & banner

The last page I would like to share is a heritage page using an old photo of my grandmother.  She loved fashion.  The new My Mind's Eye is just gorgeous & oh so elegant.  It was perfect for this page.

The flower was made with vintage 1920's hand dyed silk ribbon that I've been saving for just the right story to tell.  It's a perfect match for the MME papers..
