My Italy Trip - almost ready for printing! Title Page and Day 1

Due to the recent changes of Creative Memories, I can no longer share an album via their website, but I realized today I can through my blog!  Enjoy, ladies!

 

Title Page - This will also be the cover but with the dates on it.

 

Next will be a Table of Contents (not completed yet), then this page beside it:

 

 

 

The writing on the this page is legible at full-size, it reads:

 

Our first meal in Italy was at a family-run restaurant, Pizzeria Maroni, in the little village of Sciano, about half-way between our villa and the town of Certaldo.  It didn't open for the evening meal until about 8 pm, and we were the first to arrive.  The place filled up quickly with families of all ages.  The pizzas were amazing, baked in a wood-fired oven and all fresh ingredients! The restaurant was so good that we went back a few times during our stay.

 

Welcome to 2014! New year, new programs!

Hi, everybody!  Welcome to my scrapping blog - here I hope to share both my projects and yours, and give you ideas for using up your supplies.  I will also continue to support digital scrapbooking, using Memory Manager for organizing and editing photos, and Storybook Creator for creating beautiful pages on my computer.

Workshop Wednesday!

I hope you all had fun doing your calendars!  I got a notice yesterday from CM that mine will take a few days to process (of course, I left it to the last minute to order).  They had over 8000 calendars ordered on the last day alone!  (Update:  as of 10:00 a.m. this morning, my 3 calendars have already shipped - what fast service!) Thank you for all your orders, and don't forget those pages count for the Page a Day challenge.  Here's a couple of pages shared by Debra W. - aren't they cute?

  Debra created the Plaid background from a tutorial on http://www.pixels2pages.net/ - if you haven't checked this website out yet, I highly encourage you to.  It's been put together by a group of independent Creative Memories consultants and they have wonderful training webinars on how to get the most from your Storybook Creator software.

The second page was inspired by a design on the Project Center http://projectcenter.creativememories.com/, another great source for ideas.  This one was on the digital side, but it is very easy to convert a traditional layout.  It uses the new Cheerful Autumn Power Palette Addition.  The Cheerful line is a fantastic pack for families with kids!


Challenge update:  The numbers are slowly trickling in, so far I have:
Betty M. 24 pages, Debra W. 96, Janette B. 60, Heather M. 36, Vicki M. 12, Michelle V., Ina K., and Rhonda B. all with a page each, and me - 36 pages!  For every 5 pages you get done, you'll be entered in a draw for a free album with pages and page protectors or the equivalent value in free digital software and downloads (winner's choice).  And for every page you complete, you'll get 10 Memory Keepers Club points!

Hope to see you all at tonight's workshop!

How are those calendars coming, ladies?

The last day of the sale is Sunday, October 31st but I recommend getting your order in sooner just in case they are overwhelmed.  And get those page counts in too, I'm adding your names to the draw box as I get your numbers!

Here's my latest page for you to enjoy!

I'm behind on my page count due to a nasty chest cold, but that's okay - the challenge is 45 pages in 45 days, so I'll play catch-up as soon as I feel better!
Thanks for looking!

The challenge is on!

Wow, those page counts are starting to roll in!  Janette B. has done 24 pages, Debra W. has done 12 and Barb P. submitted this beautiful page to share. She used the new Reminisce Power Palette to change one of the pages in the 2001 Pre-designed Calendar (which is a free download on my website - www.mycmsite.com/terrifisher). Remember you don't have to do a page every day, or even all 45 pages.  You get MKC points for just completing a single page and you are entered in the draw for every 5 pages you complete!  Sign up today by emailing or phoning me today!



Join me in a Challenge! From Oct 18 - Dec1

Wow, time sure has a way of getting away from me and Christmas is rapidly approaching!  I have three major projects on the go:  finishing up the Family History albums I do for my daughters and nieces (6 traditional albums in all), my digital calendars,  and finishing my 2009 album with digital prints.
As an incentive to complete these  projects before Christmas, I have challenged myself to complete one page per day for the next 45 days.  When you think about it, that should not be a huge task.  But to keep me on track, I am inviting you to join me in this challenge.

So here is The Challenge: 
Complete “A Page A Day for 45 Days”
Challenge Dates:  Oct. 18^th to Dec. 1^st

To join me in The Challenge:
·         Sign up by calling me or sending me an email that you wish to participate.
·         Email me a photo (if you can) or a count of each of your completed pages.  I will add these to my blog for everyone to view (with your permission and I'll remove identifying faces and names).

Those who participate will receive:
·         10 Memory Keepers Club Points for each page completed - a completed MKC card will entitle you to a free gift or $25 off a future purchase
·         For each set of 5 completed pages your name will go into a draw for a Grand Prize:
        for the traditional scrapbooker:  a new album, a set of pages & page protectors;
        for the  digital scrapbooker:  a coupon of equal value to be used at The Digital Centre.

Then on December 2^nd , join me at my Holiday Open House Party to celebrate our accomplishments.  Of course, bring your completed pages along to share with everyone.  Time is still undecided, but I have 45 days to do that!

There will be the usual “goodies” such as festive foods, special gifts for everyone who attends, and, of course the Grand Prize Draw.

To get you thinking about it, here's my first page (from my digital Calendar project) - enjoy!

Edited to add:  I should have clarified that qualified entries use primarily CM products and albums (after all, I want to thank those who support my business).  Also, you don't have to do only 1 page each day, you can do multiple pages in 1 day, and then take the rest of the week off (Betty M. has already joined the challenge and completed 12 pages today - earning 2 entries and 120 MKC points - 1/3 of the way to a completed card)
