Went to the zoo last August

I kidnapped Kari and her kids and we went to the Calgary Zoo in Aug '07. We had a great time with our friend Linda tagging along too. Let me tell you, to visit the zoo through a children's eyes is so enjoyable. Oh, and a great zoom camera sure helps too! LOL

I used the Bo Bunny Zoo line. I dropped this page off at the store tonight if you want to see it close up. And yes, I totally took pictures to match the poem :)

January Kit

Hi Ladies!

Just wanted to remind you that the January kit is a few days later this year due to the busy holiday season. We didnt want anyone to have to worry about missing out. It will be launched on Jan 4th I believe. (I am sure Kari will correct that if I am incorrect)

Exculsive papers and Bellies again! Lots of fun stuff and oh so creative.

I will be posting my layouts and cards in the next few days. I had a lot of fun with it.

Dont forget that Embellished is closed on Tuesday for New Years and is closing early tomorrow. If you are planning on scrapbooking like me......dont forget to get to the store to stock up on essentials - adhesive and cardstock being the top of my list!

Have an awesome New Year whatever you end up doing.

~~Melanie

Merry Christmas to all!

I just want to take a moment and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and all the best through 2008.

Thank you to all the lovely ladies I have met this past year during classes. Everyone has made my classes so enjoyable. I look forward to seeing you guys more next year!

Safe travels to those going elsewhere. Drive safe, fly safe, be safe.

Enjoy the moments of the season. Take lots of photos, but hand your camera over and let someone else capture you too.

Happy holidays everyone! See you soon.

Some of the items that just arrived...new making memories glaze paints in 6 fabulous colors, DB sugar coated brads & chipboard alphas, plus 6 new yummy patterned papers, bazzil small black brads are back, fancy pants biggest chipboard sets & a new fun felt set.

Well it has been awhile, waiting for the Page Frame Designs clear albums, but i know the wait will be worth it as they are due to arrive sometime this coming week, you won't want to miss these fabulous mini albums.

Need some inspiration....check out Ronni's ideas from December's Kit!! Have to say this one is still my favourite by far...we still have a few kits left, so come get yours today!!!

Ready for Christmas yet?

Hey Embellished fans! It is I, Ronni - I have a few moments at work, and thought I'd see how your winter projects were coming along. All the snow we've had over the past few days, has (finally) started to make me feel a little Christmas-sy.

Are you making anything special for someone special? I made up a few Christmas ornaments, but I haven't had a chance yet to take photos of them to show you. I'm hoping to put up my tree this weekend, so I'll take a pic or two then.

Are you making cards for your family and friends? The last time I was at the store, I saw some wonderful ones made up by the other girls there. And there are always ideas on the internet or in a magazine you could follow. I picked up some of the "Figgy Pudding" (from Basic Grey) and I love it so much, I almost hated to cut it up! Beautiful paper!!

I'm afraid that I don't have any photos to show you of what I did with the latest kit... I'm making huge puppy dog eyes at Shelley, or Kari, or Mel, or Tammy... and hoping that they'll take some pics for me and show you guys just how great that kit is! I love the double sided papers, and how not all of the colours aren't the traditional green and red. Aren't you loving the Embellies??

Anyways, I suppose I should go back to work! Happy holidaze!!! :)

Maya Road gift ideas

It lists templates for all their chipboard books (so you dont have to trace from the book) and printable templates for the binder books - journal sheets, day timers, etc. Just click on the group of templates you are looking for and then the correct template.

Hopefully this will help you with last minute gift ideas using the MR products available at Embellished Memories.

Kari

Hello again!!

Hey guys! This is Ronni! I thought I'd drop in and remind you that there is only one more sleep until my next class. I was getting it together last night, and I think this is going to be my favorite class ever. *woot!*

It is an advanced class, but I'm thinking I'm going to rename it to "Ronni's Remix." I'm taking two of my layouts that have been displayed in the store, and I'll show you how to re-create them at home. You'll love it. I'll break down some of the steps I did, give you some hints and tricks, and best of all, these layouts use 4x6 photos! It doesn't get better than that.

So my friends, take care, and we'll see you Friday night!

~Ronni

Can I just mention how much fun I had with the OCTOBER kit???

Can you believe it is almost time for a new kit??? I cant! In about a week they will be released and you do not want to miss this one.

Just to tease you a bit (ok, if you know me, I really mean A LOT!!!) hehe

OCTOBER's kit is amazing!!!! The colours are so warm and yummy :) I had so many layout ideas. I kept coming up with ideas, they just kept flowing and I actually ran out of photos to use!!! Can you believe it? I hardly have any paper left over

I had the chance to sneek a peek at Ronni's and Tammy's layouts and you will not be disappointed!

Be sure to get yours EARLY! I know they are going to fly out of the store when they are released. Watch the blog for postings of our layouts once the kit is released.

Melanie

More Inspiration!! So everyone who has purchased the kit....here are a few more layouts for inspiration....sorry it took me so long.

So what we have been up too...deciding, working on some more great classes, for November, and I am patiently waiting for the new Basic Grey to arrive....ok, not patiently. LOL!! Preperation for the next 4 months of calendar pages are under way, and I must say they have been a huge success!! Thxs. Mel for a great job, on the first 4 months.

Till Later, Kari

September Kit SOLD OUT!!

Can you believe it!! I am amazed at the response to our kits...and to disappointment to some I will have to say they are all gone. I would make up more, but too much in the kit would have to be altered to give you one. (cardstock, and some of the patterned paper)
Thank you to all....and you won't want to miss the next one!!!

More Layouts of this kit will be posted as promised to those of you who purchased...

Kari

You HAVE to see Sept kit in person!

Hey everyone, it's me, Melanie!

I just checked out all the amazing layouts at the store and am so impressed. I love how we all took the kit and have gone with our own ideas and creativity. There are 3 totally different styles for you to check out.

I am the first to admit, I am Basic Grey challenged!!! But I LOVED this kit! I was so nervous, but it worked so well with so many of my photos. We included two different feels of colour in the cardstock and both look great on their own or with eachother (one is the pink/lime green the other is the orange/tealish). Go, check out the layouts, see what we came up with and have fun with it!

Feel free to take a picture and email it to Kari at the store, or bring it in and we can take a photo of it for you. We would love to post it on the blog to show everyone!

Let us know what you think!

ps....keep your eyes peeled for my October card class. We are going to have FUN!

Dont forget now that the kids are back in school (or will be shortly), we have some awesome classes for you to partake in too! Check out the website for the calendars and the samples in store.

Calendar Kits...just about complete!!

Sorry for the dilay, on the details for this kit, you know when you have the idea in your head, but now the hard part is how to follow it threw, and what will be best for everyone.... So here it is! The kits have been put together with all months ( jan, feb, mar, & april) in one kit, color copies of all the layouts & directions are included, all embellishments are included, titles are up to you...we have given you the idea, so have fun...stamp, chipboard your title, sticker letters or even cutting your title out. Calendars will be sold seperately, but with a 20% discount when the kit is purchased, as I know there are some who are going to use the calendar pages in their scrapbooks & don't need the calendar. Enjoy, have fun & best of all no panic to rush & get those christmas gifts done last minute. Our next 4 months will be available October 1st!!
