I just finished a beautiful album of our last year's vacation out west and it is in a CM album filled with their sand-colored pages. Not a black or white page in there.

I LOVE the CM sand colored pages. I'm working in one now. I took the new Champagne colored album and put in the "natural" pages and I've been using the Nature's Whisper paper pack (CM) that coordinates really nice with that album.

Emmy, I have all those and love them. I bet your album will be beautiful. Just look at the little sweetheart you have to photograph!

Thanks, Tess! It's true I am blessed with a daughter who doesn't mind having her picture taken. She knows they will go in my albums and each page is like a love note to her. When she's a teenager and won't talk to me, I know the albums will be there to say it all.

I think you're right, Moon. Miss Sarah loves me taking her picture as do all her classmates. I have one album for each year of her life and we've come to the point where that's not enough. That's why I separated out last year's big vacation into it's own album. I also separate out school stuff and Christmas. ack! Right now I'm working on a 7x7 album for Sarah's teacher to commemorate our year in first grade. I'm also making fold-out card for all 21 classmates which have 6 photos each along with decorations. They are a lot of fun to make but they do take quite a bit of time.

Dang, KP. I forgot I was going to get you some phone numbers/web addresses. Sorry!! My favorite alphabet letters and some of my favorite stickers especially when working on kids' stuff, are from a company called: me & my Big Ideas. Their web address is: www.meandmybigideas.com Their mailing address is: 20321 Valencia Circle Lake Forest, CA 92630 On their website they have a section for retailers only which might be useful. There is a company called Making Memories which does smaller sized alphabet letters which is useful for making cards and doing smaller albums. Their line of smaller letters is called "Alphababies". Their contact info is: Making Memories P.O. Box 1188 Centerville, UT 84014 1-800-286-5263 fax 1-800-263-7478 Along the same line of making my own cards, etc, I like some of the dimensional products (i.e. flowers, garden gates, etc) made by Jolee's Boutique....the line is called "Jolee's by You"'. There is a company name and contact info on the package but it's so tiny that I cannot read it and be sure it's accurate. I 'think" their web address is: www.eksuccess.com I think that Ek success is the name of the overseeing company and they are located in Clifton, NJ. When Charlie gets back from his hiking trip, I'll see if he can read the package. Yep, that's the right place. I typed "Jolee's by You" in their search box it came up with 875 items. The products I'm holding in my hands right now are in the 286-300 block of items. That's all I have off the top of my head. You're already hooked up with Mrs. Grossman's and those are very popular with many people. Good luck and I'll try to find more of my favorites. My sister kinda "reorganized" for me while she was here and I do not know where anything is. ack!

Tess, that is awful that your sister was so helpful! Thanks for all the info! I am going to go one of the websites now and contact the other companies when I go to my office. Have you or anyone else thought about submitting one of your pages to different places? You can get alot of free items plus recognition.

Hi Tess, according to the CM rep I know, it's only white and black absolutely no colors. I just find it a pain to have to use let's say a separate red sheet and cut it to size in order to fit it into their pages. I find it very limiting with all of the wonderful things out there. I will tell my BF who will use only CM stuff to request the sand ones......Thanks for the tip!

Question about those of you who use 3-d type decorations on your pages -- how do your books close? I see some adorable items (expensive too) but just can't imagine how they fit into a book that has flat pages. CM bugs me a bit too. I have a friend who had introduced me to the items because she loves them. I contacted a local dealer to buy the rulers and the corner rounder -- two really neat items. I then emailed her back, asking her policy on people using "other" items in her classes and she never even wrote back! What a snob. It was all about the sale, and if I wasn't going to buy the overpriced books, then I wasn't invited. Luckily I found a scrapbooking store near me that has tons of stickers and even has crop sessions. I haven't been yet as I would need a sitter, but it's nice to know there is somewhere I can go where CM won't be pushed on me.

I have used zippers, buttons, license plates, and other accessories on my pages and they are fine, but my pages have protectors on them,too. All of the accessories are so much fun! Try one and see how you like it = Brenda. Our town is invaded with Black Bikers this week end. The roads are packed and it is not a great idea to do anything but stay at home. So my dd and I are having our own crop at my house tomorrow night. Wish you all could come! I had made t-shirts for us by an air brush artist. On the front they say "Got Scrapbooking?" On the back they say"Scrapping at the Beach at Broadway." I wore mine today and one of the ladies at Sam's came running up to me and asked me when the store was opening. She saw me before buying Scrapbook software and asked me where it was and I told her about the store. It is so great that everyone I talk to is so supportive and excited for the store! Tonight we were at Broadway at the Beach. Joe's - a seafood restaurant- has a playground outside and we were there with the kids and let them play and we had some appetizers for dinner. A guy with a big group of people said I like your shirt! My wife and I and my brother are big into scrapbooking. Christi and I are surprised how many guys are involved in this great hobby! By the way, we have been told that the store will be ready for us to go in next week. HA HA! Just a foundation is there right now.

Thank you Danzdol, but no move yet. The frame is up, but no walls. I am getting very anxious, as this is our season. Hopefully, we will be in by July. I have ordered lots of 4th of July things.

Oh Goody! SCRAPBOOKING! I've made a whole room in my house dedicated to this. LOL! I'd love to see other people's work, too...and to hear ideas! Has anyone ever done a swap here?

What's a swap? I consider myself a scrapbooking hack -- I use whatever I can find at will and don't get too fancy with my stuff. I actually finished 3 pages over the weekend. There just isn't enough time!

A swap is when you either swap finished scrapbook layouts or you can swap supplies or finished embellishments for pages, etc. I have participated in a few. Each person who decides to swap, draws another person who is their swap and a specific dollar amount or a specific theme is created and they all swap. If you google: scrapbooking swap, it can explain it a lot better than I can.

I would be willing to try it but not for layouts because I don't have the time now. I have a bunch of stuff that Iknow I won't be using anymore.
