I'm the owner at A Million Memories (if you didn't know that). I've been dreading this blog post, but it's time. After much thought and consideration, my family and I have decided to close A Million Memories. My family life and priorities have changed so much in the past few years that I haven't been able to put my full attention into it anymore. My kids are getting older and we just don't want to miss any more time with them than we have already. It's been an amazing ride. If you don't know our story, here's a little skip down memory lane.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In 2006, my friend Alison and I were working full-time at a law firm in Irvine, California. Our daughters were both 3 years old and I also had a 2 year old son. It was driving us crazy having to leave them every day while we went to work. I remember having long chats with her during our morning breaks and we would talk about what we could do while working at home. We were basically daydreaming, but when an opportunity arose to purchase an already established online scrapbook store and kit club, I jumped on it! After discussing it more and more with her, she agreed to be my business partner in this crazy venture. A month or so later, we were packing up monthly kits, taking in orders and making our first business trip to Memory Trends in Las Vegas. All of this, while working full-time, taking care of our homes and families ~ but we didn't care. This was our dream and we were going to work hard to make it work. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In November of 2007, my then 4 year old daughter Chloe was diagnosed with Leukemia. Our lives were turned upside down and we struggled with staying strong and positive to get her through it. One of the saving graces for me was not only Alison, but also all of the wonderful friends that I had made in that past year through A Million Memories. People were constantly praying for her, she would receive sweet little gifts in the mail to help lift her spirits, one friend, Michelle Magana (who lived in Georgia at the time), even came to visit Chloe in the hospital. Michelle was new to our community at the time, but still had a heart big enough to come and meet Chloe and the rest of our family. I mean ~ that still chokes me up. Very good people out there and I have met SO MANY life long friends through this venture.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In 2008, Alison stepped out of the business (I really think she did this for me more than anything because she knew how much it meant to me and how much heart and soul I had invested in it). My family stepped in after that and we have been working together ever since. I left my full-time job to take care of Chloe while she went through chemo and started working full-time on AMM until she was done in March of 2010. It's been a wonderful experience and I will be forever grateful for the faith that my family has in ME and for the strength that having this business gave to me while our family was really struggling (emotionally and financially). I've made some amazing friends that I will forever stay in touch with (and hopefully share more vacations with). :) I want to say a very special thank you to all of the women that have designed for AMM in the past and a special thank you to my online besties Jennifer Findley and Tonya Dirk. They have been amazingly fun, inspiring and supportive people!!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
About 2 weeks ago, I just decided that it was done. My heart is not in building this business anymore. I have a new full-time job that is pretty much my dream job at this point in my life. They give me the flexibility that I need to be with my kids for school events, sports activities, etc., and it is within walking distance from my home. I would like to have more free time to play catch in the yard with my kids, work on some home remodeling, enjoy some road trips with my husband and do a little crafting ONLY for myself. So it is with a smile on my face and true sense of freedom that I really haven't felt in a while, that I say I am ok with saying good-bye to AMM at this point in my life. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
OK, with all of that being said, I am going to work diligently to try and clear out our shop in the next few months. Right now, the entire store is 60% off. Use code SUMMER at check-out (SUMMER is my goal for having this all done, so that I can actually ENJOY summer again). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thanks again for all of the wonderful memories that you have shared with me and I hope that you have made friends through our community as well. Feel free to leave comments and let me know how AMM might have brought something positive into your life (like it did for me)!</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2c2a2a; font-family: arial; line-height: 20px;">Hello! I am THRILLED to be posting here today with some layouts using the gorgeous Dear Lizzy Neapolitan line from American Crafts.</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2c2a2a; font-family: arial; font-size: small; line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2c2a2a; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span></div>
</div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2c2a2a; font-family: arial; line-height: 20px;">Here are four layouts that I have made so far- and I still have a lot left over to play with so I am sure there will be more!</span><br />
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAA1hx5H49UtjjdQPM17Pr_QX-y705kgxbv26jouR-uQLOTvmSb0jebDacu5ffOGxAXIWV0xF8Z0f_MDyjcx0FbmUmWUuNvLXXA-NwJPUE5WqydvD5k9g6IjKe0-hfIS6h6Q/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="color: #d4a308; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" height="317" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAA1hx5H49UtjjdQPM17Pr_QX-y705kgxbv26jouR-uQLOTvmSb0jebDacu5ffOGxAXIWV0xF8Z0f_MDyjcx0FbmUmWUuNvLXXA-NwJPUE5WqydvD5k9g6IjKe0-hfIS6h6Q/s320/photo.JPG" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; position: relative;" width="320" /></a></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2c2a2a; font-family: arial; font-size: small; line-height: 20px;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2c2a2a; font-family: arial; font-size: small; line-height: 20px;">The title of this layout and part of the journaling comes from the Jim Croce song, Time in a Bottle. One of my very favorites. This layout includes hand stitching, confetti punching and to get the ruffle along the bottom I wet and crumpled up the vellum until it looked like I wanted it to look. I also added a doilie that I dyed. Peeking out from the photos is some of the adorable trim that Michelle sent.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2c2a2a; font-family: arial; font-size: small; line-height: 20px;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfCzORmv2mXZ0TIcjeq816tmXqyr9xOZKLIqQkehmwBC2MG-8krkl0ASHIpZw4EBqUwN04Ywz878OzSKsCR4v4UD0-GFP5qcdxzUh6IEbV3vDwpDw-3FbBuy8to56BDhmAnA/s1600/1" imageanchor="1" style="color: #d4a308; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" height="221" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfCzORmv2mXZ0TIcjeq816tmXqyr9xOZKLIqQkehmwBC2MG-8krkl0ASHIpZw4EBqUwN04Ywz878OzSKsCR4v4UD0-GFP5qcdxzUh6IEbV3vDwpDw-3FbBuy8to56BDhmAnA/s320/1" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; position: relative;" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2c2a2a; font-family: arial; font-size: small; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2c2a2a; font-family: arial; font-size: small; line-height: 20px;">This next layout was inspired by the title and title work of <a href="http://annamariawolniak.wordpress.com/2012/02/04/too-cute/" style="color: #d4a308; text-decoration: none;">THIS amazing layout</a> that I pinned on Pinterest. The minute I saw it, I knew that I was too inspired to not create a similarly themed layout. I believe the saying comes from a kids shirt.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2c2a2a; font-family: arial; font-size: small; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2c2a2a; font-family: arial; font-size: small; line-height: 20px;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkzusCDdDV5vA5HE9enkyB7IRkp8zwSvWBxSAiGJjqNpjrvjVv9H4GrrOkJYDJO0QGndDiI3zIlSbkZb65Xo77wIatOlscNwbGVLMwrvcjrarqx67gl2JuYP87Nr76RX0xyQ/s1600/2" imageanchor="1" style="color: #d4a308; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" height="319" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkzusCDdDV5vA5HE9enkyB7IRkp8zwSvWBxSAiGJjqNpjrvjVv9H4GrrOkJYDJO0QGndDiI3zIlSbkZb65Xo77wIatOlscNwbGVLMwrvcjrarqx67gl2JuYP87Nr76RX0xyQ/s320/2" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; position: relative;" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2c2a2a; font-family: arial; font-size: small; line-height: 20px;">Again, I hand stitched on this layout and included a lot of layering. The little rosette trim is cut from the rosette fabric that Michelle sent me and watercolored to get the color that I wanted for my layout.</span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2c2a2a; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #2c2a2a; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #2c2a2a; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">
I used Dear Lizzy ruffle paper as a mat for my photo and base for my title. I also included three doilies. One straight from the package, a hand dyed one and a Martha Stewart shimmer die cut doilie. Peeking out is more of that adorable trim.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #2c2a2a; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #2c2a2a; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">
I made the title from mixed fonts and added glossy accents to "dad's lucky" to emphasize it. I reproduced a similar layered doily look with the cut out sentiment to balance the layout.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #2c2a2a; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #2c2a2a; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">
This is a layout that I made for St. Patricks Day. I love how the yellow and greens in the line compliment each other so nicely!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #2c2a2a; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi96JEfOZQBpKVPRa12DfExHrs4hh5j2DpQm_AN8qb78blpmQhQXBLJotrwxwd9WZfNPmu9KWvkV7N8vrxpV-GZXVhP0H3GoqFf3Acg2zAL2wZGB6TPIOgeTB58ap_nQbLeL1px_Q/s1600/hg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi96JEfOZQBpKVPRa12DfExHrs4hh5j2DpQm_AN8qb78blpmQhQXBLJotrwxwd9WZfNPmu9KWvkV7N8vrxpV-GZXVhP0H3GoqFf3Acg2zAL2wZGB6TPIOgeTB58ap_nQbLeL1px_Q/s320/hg" width="318" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #2c2a2a; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">
On this layout I used more of my hand dyed doilies (again- I know!) and used my slice to cut out the title, stars and shamrocks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #2c2a2a; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #2c2a2a; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">
Here is a closeup of the details in the embellishments. You'll notice that all the photos are plead upon the ruffle paper which gives a subtle, yet eye catching texture.</div>
<div style="color: #2c2a2a; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #2c2a2a; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBc1D4Hg1k5rx-lV2lV-0ln_qc-XJO4P8zaEPbZdpLQx7cPwwCuPaGHc5z_9OqgpqJzAkWpTNY3WaqAcCmEYz5FK6JATUYN-gI1IuRj5wUv-YYbgLAJQlZjW4NS_HlwhyRZqn9Nw/s1600/bjh" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBc1D4Hg1k5rx-lV2lV-0ln_qc-XJO4P8zaEPbZdpLQx7cPwwCuPaGHc5z_9OqgpqJzAkWpTNY3WaqAcCmEYz5FK6JATUYN-gI1IuRj5wUv-YYbgLAJQlZjW4NS_HlwhyRZqn9Nw/s320/bjh" width="243" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #2c2a2a; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #2c2a2a; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">
And lastly- a new favorite layout of mine. I really loved the greenish/teal and brownish/grey color combination in the papers and the embellishments and knew that I would make a layout devoted to them. I added a crocheted doily from my stash to mat the photo and embellishments and paper on as the base of my layout.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #2c2a2a; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi05LDHEq8fOcqKuo-FJNfHpc72OIzdiTbBDjoM9lduKRrgwFD-NrYCwgSTE9Y-zQ4A2XM9Oep7eFUpWBdkxmlThr42xwAjnmndrW0j7aRB0dR8O5Uta3oDQI1atdqmvS1sdrQZEg/s1600/jg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi05LDHEq8fOcqKuo-FJNfHpc72OIzdiTbBDjoM9lduKRrgwFD-NrYCwgSTE9Y-zQ4A2XM9Oep7eFUpWBdkxmlThr42xwAjnmndrW0j7aRB0dR8O5Uta3oDQI1atdqmvS1sdrQZEg/s320/jg" width="312" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #2c2a2a; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">
For this layout I simply layered some patterned papers and clustered my embellishments. I added a bow of the gorgeous silver ribbon that Michelle sent and also added a mini cupcake wrapper to the embellishment cluster for something eye catching and a little different.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #2c2a2a; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">

Hello AMM fans! Jennifer here to share a few projects with you using the new <a href="http://stores.intuitwebsites.com/hstrial-AMillionMemorie0/-strse-American-Crafts-cln-NEW-Dear-Lizzy-Neopolitan/Categories.bok" target="_blank">Neopolitan</a> line from <a href="http://stores.intuitwebsites.com/hstrial-AMillionMemorie0/-strse-American-Crafts/Categories.bok" target="_blank">American Crafts</a>. So far this has been my favorite line to work with in a while now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For this LO I used the back side of the <a href="http://stores.intuitwebsites.com/hstrial-AMillionMemorie0/-strse-2550/American-Crafts-Dear-Lizzy/Detail.bok" target="_blank">At First Sight</a> paper, then cut out a few of the blocks from the <a href="http://stores.intuitwebsites.com/hstrial-AMillionMemorie0/-strse-2560/American-Crafts-Dear-Lizzy/Detail.bok" target="_blank">Sunny Skip</a> paper, punched a few butterflies from the <a href="http://stores.intuitwebsites.com/hstrial-AMillionMemorie0/-strse-2545/American-Crafts-Dear-Lizzy/Detail.bok" target="_blank">Dreamy Days</a> paper, cut out the rosettes from this lovely <a href="http://stores.intuitwebsites.com/hstrial-AMillionMemorie0/-strse-2589/AMM-White-Rag-Flowers/Detail.bok" target="_blank">White Rag Flower Organza fabric</a> to frame the photo, and backed each of the blocks with the organza from the same fabric.</div>

<br />
<br />
The two projects below are wrappers for a box of bottle caps that she made for the daughters of a friend of hers.<br />
<br />
Tip from Michelle: <span style="font-family: inherit;">"<span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">I've
got some vintage trim here topped off </span><a href="" name="_GoBack" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">with some fun
baker’s twine. I take big chunky trim and finish it off with baker's
twine often - it's a favorite look of mine."</span></span><br />

The thing that I love about Lily Bee is that they are never too "Matchy-matchy" (if that makes any sense), but yet they always work perfectly together. They always have backsides that are a little less busy than the front-side, so I always end up using everything that I get from them. I personally don't get to scrapbook as often as I would like and this is one manufacturer that I always tend to reach for when I do have the chance to scrap.<br /><br />You can click on each of the photos and it will take you to a link in the AMM store for each line. They are GORGEOUS and just take a look at some of the projects. They are fun, tell a story and just look so design easy!<br /><a href="http://stores.intuitwebsites.com/hstrial-AMillionMemorie0/-strse-Lily-Bee-Design-cln-**Handmade--dsh--New-2012%21/Categories.bok"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 354px; height: 350px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicr-zswp4aJwf0KDtGVVb0g_eKI24Kk8YM7xid1_ejCL0A4p3bgOZIAX0F_WHQTeqVK8UgedrELV1oZLxHAiJSKIHKq5oFspH4iY1FVyj2GSRNNjcWT6c1yItTVTYVfVl2VQSf6A/s400/361t.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5719283366834005538" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLD0rJsyzsh9JgjVtOfZ9wh4SjFYIJDA-R_6g5F3Kb7qoiXneRgH4Cn1Xm_0tD2TuOxMHZ-zDFtKspqN95y4bg0OmcbNVFh4rUj9eW9giop2_VbXY6lIWJBmzzaHuOrN7NyN3JOw/s1600/handmade1_blooming.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLD0rJsyzsh9JgjVtOfZ9wh4SjFYIJDA-R_6g5F3Kb7qoiXneRgH4Cn1Xm_0tD2TuOxMHZ-zDFtKspqN95y4bg0OmcbNVFh4rUj9eW9giop2_VbXY6lIWJBmzzaHuOrN7NyN3JOw/s400/handmade1_blooming.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5719283301558991138" border="0" /></a>BUTTERCUP IS SO PRETTY!

We are starting a little something different at AMM. I thought I would make a point to share more of our products in videos just so you can get a better look at what you are purchasing, or thinking about purchasing. <br /><br />This week I made a video featuring the new Dear Lizzy products in stock here.<br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_AIELpArUMs" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" width="560"></iframe><br /><br />In this video, we show you these new products and show you how you can consider these products for masculine as well as feminine layouts and projects.<br /><br />In another video, we show you some of the fabrics that we currently carry. Fabric is not a frequent product for us, so the ones that we carry, we feel are kind of special and an exception to using strictly for sewing projects. Check this out and see the GORGEOUS new fabric with the rosettes!<br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/d2LLUMMnyzI" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" width="560"></iframe><br /><br />Hope you like.

Hope you had a great weekend. Mine was filled with a rummage sale at our kids' school, a surprise party for my daughter and then working on some AMM stuff ~ including posting some of our new <a href="http://stores.intuitwebsites.com/hstrial-AMillionMemorie0/Categories.bok">button tags.</a><br /><br />We have a customer <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEzxfrtrACs&feature=youtu.be">by the name of Trista Hart (aka A Little Shed) who has an account on YouTube</a> and she shared this video of Button Tags and trims that she received from AMM. Super cute little video and a nice way to see some of our stuff in real life. She also has some videos featuring her art work. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEzxfrtrACs&feature=youtu.be">Come by and check it out</a>. She's a sweetheart too!

We are<span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong> still offering 50% off of your order, using code CLEAR2</strong></span> at check-out, so this is a good time to get these one of a kind items and a price even lower than usual. <strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">PLUS U.S. SHOPPERS GET $5.99 SHIPPING!!!!</span></strong><br /><br />Here's a run-down of only SOME of the items that we have added so far (still going to add in some pearl centered yo-<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">yo's</span> and one of a kind TO DIE FOR vintage buttons that I'm sure you've never seen before).<br /><br />So here we go -- we have these sequined flowers with pearl centers. These are beautifully hand crafted and each petal is bendable, so you can move and bend the petals up for more depth on your projects, or keep them flat. <a href="http://stores.intuitwebsites.com/hstrial-AMillionMemorie0/-strse-*Shop-for-Unique-Embellies*/s/28/Categories.bok"> These are $2.25 plus 50% off --) HERE.<br /></a><br /><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 300px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705853757900147170" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI1BHmjX0574aOzqPBwmIGlTimZR7FLdNSG1IKCwrmFYw3xSxYpVtm1ev5d-wvuQi_Nw_6s8N-oXSyBiCXuSrowJxX_7RnsuS1QVzFUNhicKCxVObLSTSd3of4ZLL-3iCnsgCYWQ/s400/whitesequinflowers.jpg" />This is a collage of a few things ~ one is the sequined flower above, then there is this gorgeous ribbon flower doily on tulle (the hand crafted detail on this is not evident in this photo) and then we have some little white rose bouquets with blue centers. I love these for cards or little bouquets on layouts. They never overpower a project, which I appreciate.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4ZsnDgEmdbWL6PppbH1gTYgMSNuWsqQS6KGGbQ7_7onRm-TM69apAp9t8BwMXnlujf9Sg9kpLqeIshyVfssOfsRm4LrKRzjlS-PyuSB7opSnvS6RXGE2TMNX2KBUy5wqigQq6-w/s1600/florals205.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 136px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705853685737669458" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4ZsnDgEmdbWL6PppbH1gTYgMSNuWsqQS6KGGbQ7_7onRm-TM69apAp9t8BwMXnlujf9Sg9kpLqeIshyVfssOfsRm4LrKRzjlS-PyuSB7opSnvS6RXGE2TMNX2KBUy5wqigQq6-w/s400/florals205.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Love the trims we picked out. My personal favorite is the first one, which is a white eyelet with a scalloped border. I always love eyelet because it is just clean, crisp and perfect for warmer weather projects. Plus ~ since it's white, it's easily alterable with mists if you need a splash of color.<br /><br />The second beaded trim is a cream color and is all beaded. This is another photo that is not even close to giving this product the justice it deserves. Really pretty and detailed and VERY well made. I would guess that this product is used frequently on formal <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">dresswear</span>.<br /><br />The third trim below is SO PERFECT for Spring, I think. You could use this on edging for your sewing projects, a purse or my personal favorite - your cards and scrapbook layouts. Again, I'm a sucker for white eyelet - fresh clean and perfect for warmer weather seasons.<br /><br />The last product is a crochet <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">venise</span> trim. We only have this in 1 piece, so it's limited! It's about 4 iinches wide. Since <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">CHA</span>. I noticed that there are a lot of lace covered papers now available, so I thought this might be a nice twist to that idea (at half the price)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_CDc_sKyKjRj0gafwIFT6330BiL6a77DSVYYn1p_HXIASKPs5P5QJBZKSQ9Dvjncz5O68ra5oaEBE25HdPnLm2Fsln2ptwl08dsdL_RqN3xiiWHay9qR9sEpGo9StmehOwJh5cQ/s1600/trims205.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 400px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5705853602685358594" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_CDc_sKyKjRj0gafwIFT6330BiL6a77DSVYYn1p_HXIASKPs5P5QJBZKSQ9Dvjncz5O68ra5oaEBE25HdPnLm2Fsln2ptwl08dsdL_RqN3xiiWHay9qR9sEpGo9StmehOwJh5cQ/s400/trims205.jpg" /></a><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">Ok</span>, my heart skips a beat whenever I see this. <a href="http://stores.intuitwebsites.com/hstrial-AMillionMemorie0/Categories.bok">CHEVRON!!!!!

I’m back today with a
whimsical little love card. The <a href="http://stores.intuitwebsites.com/hstrial-AMillionMemorie0/-strse-Crate-Paper-cln-Paper-Heart/Categories.bok">new
Paper Heart collection by Crate Paper</a> is so rustic and so colorful and reminds
me so much of 6<sup>th</sup> grade. I
remember making and decorating a little pouch to hang on my desk for my
classmates to come and drop my Valentine cards in. {happy sigh}
I think what I love most about this collection actually is the infusion
of so many other retro colors like the blue and the yellow. Just so so fun.</div>

Today I am going to show you how to create a shadow box featuring the new American Crafts flutterbys.<br />

<br />
Step 1: Grab a small empty box and carefully pull the sides and bottom apart to flatten the box.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOh-BOhrnH2XNSd6EM0WcWk6BxD_YNIyypQCPro1q1WRjq5Fs9eNuZtkgr6ZfywM_A3cJFpumoPSjAb7mJQhPt6nZnXOShSkyCMVnWBzFrzFTAkCw-qt9wb7PI2NXdJvRRyIe9/s1600/step+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOh-BOhrnH2XNSd6EM0WcWk6BxD_YNIyypQCPro1q1WRjq5Fs9eNuZtkgr6ZfywM_A3cJFpumoPSjAb7mJQhPt6nZnXOShSkyCMVnWBzFrzFTAkCw-qt9wb7PI2NXdJvRRyIe9/s320/step+1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 2: Using a ruler mark where you want to cut your window then cut it out. I marked mine half an inch from the creases.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjped-rtjpLx8nVZYZMiZbUdMko2AVn_7lsqqDTbKwOY_bU_odvPEtfytH_o_INqQjvvamj-b2a4n_QNW2KQq_eS3uZInlA1d2qzbWBRFlYr8zn_0Jpg9uSoNJ9UCn559OzMfVU/s1600/step+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjped-rtjpLx8nVZYZMiZbUdMko2AVn_7lsqqDTbKwOY_bU_odvPEtfytH_o_INqQjvvamj-b2a4n_QNW2KQq_eS3uZInlA1d2qzbWBRFlYr8zn_0Jpg9uSoNJ9UCn559OzMfVU/s320/step+2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 3: I wanted to inside to be on the outside so I had to re-crease the box to fold the way I wanted it to then I needed to prime the inside with gesso. You really only need to cover the edges, but my bottle of gesso spilled so I covered the whole thing. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghYYU4SiBWK9yRMVOW2zFmuCUiaqcS_dlhTpOq3ogxHID3bFoEviuu7qKttVjvHOq3DojqSMQFGLURx8GVtpC0F3GpifDV3iTdRRy3SiDOJyDUh_BdS6P6yuRceuYJ1Xca2CbN/s1600/step+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghYYU4SiBWK9yRMVOW2zFmuCUiaqcS_dlhTpOq3ogxHID3bFoEviuu7qKttVjvHOq3DojqSMQFGLURx8GVtpC0F3GpifDV3iTdRRy3SiDOJyDUh_BdS6P6yuRceuYJ1Xca2CbN/s320/step+3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 4: Measure and cut pattern paper to fit the bottom, back, and top of the inside of your box.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiznVI3WOBskwzSFATL1YwIL1eL6ulgxLedcPvgwI-rcSnfxO1ks_u-XXvyBUgiNhY53nXch1wlZVuUul1MJpvqEuH3d7mJ7231ywVnF2R0TDn7YSxq8hKaTxy86QRFLzmx3MuL/s1600/step+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiznVI3WOBskwzSFATL1YwIL1eL6ulgxLedcPvgwI-rcSnfxO1ks_u-XXvyBUgiNhY53nXch1wlZVuUul1MJpvqEuH3d7mJ7231ywVnF2R0TDn7YSxq8hKaTxy86QRFLzmx3MuL/s320/step+4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 5: Turn your box over, measure and cut a piece of coordinating pattern paper to frame the window on the front of your box.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIjUmFXX9AOY3ILnGEP4QY9U7yoaOld6dgnXCw-KSidJOtYzMmg4doUxl68z2vMKiShWGaLVfydVD6_0vQqdvBgeCwK8tdNm7jRuv1GuwucEXZebul5xCun4YafA_zR-8O2JH-/s1600/step+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIjUmFXX9AOY3ILnGEP4QY9U7yoaOld6dgnXCw-KSidJOtYzMmg4doUxl68z2vMKiShWGaLVfydVD6_0vQqdvBgeCwK8tdNm7jRuv1GuwucEXZebul5xCun4YafA_zR-8O2JH-/s320/step+5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 6: Flip the box back over so that you are looking at the inside and glue a strand of your flutterbys to the inside of the box. To give the flutterbys more dimension fold them in half before adhering.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4T0ESpvS8Hhf7eb_SnZ2EMDFysJ-Gum46BGM5vQTxCdMYd-WN3_nrv3qUBjf8pgj77K8IlzO4lUZxgacZ_MMUxTd07TG7881G-BipJLf94GljykA8oU_-Hr-hbJwrYNdfNJ65/s1600/step+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4T0ESpvS8Hhf7eb_SnZ2EMDFysJ-Gum46BGM5vQTxCdMYd-WN3_nrv3qUBjf8pgj77K8IlzO4lUZxgacZ_MMUxTd07TG7881G-BipJLf94GljykA8oU_-Hr-hbJwrYNdfNJ65/s320/step+6.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 7: Start embellishing the inside of your box making sure to create layers. One thing that I did to give my elements a little depth was to take some poster putty, cut off small strips and hot glue them to my elements.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 8: Fold and glue your box together, then cut and cover the sides on the inside of your box.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 9: Measure and cut pattern paper to fit the top, sides, and bottom of your box. Adhere with mod podge and you're all done.<br />

I love handmade gift
packaging. It transforms the most
inexpensive and simple gift in to something so much more. It’s like food – you eat with your eyes
first. Same thing with gift giving – let
them delight in the packaging first.</div>

I bought some bags of
those Lindt chocolate balls. They have
raspberry ones out for Valentine’s Day, did you know?! I dropped some in glassine bags and then
embellished for a pretty presentation.</div>

This <a href="http://stores.intuitwebsites.com/hstrial-AMillionMemorie0/-strse-2271/AMM-Rosette-Flower-Fabric/Detail.bok">new
fuschia rosette flower fabric from AMM</a> is amazing. I don’t sew, and I don’t scrapbook so I’m
sure I didn’t do this beautiful piece justice, but I added in chunks of it to
my bag tags to really kick up the fancy factor.</div>

Each color is sold in 12.5x12.5" squares for $3.99. She sent Michelle, Marie and I each a square to work with. Today, I'm going to be working with the creme fabric so here's a pic of the other two colors.<br />

<br />
Step 2: Fold your fabric so that the right sides are touching and then pin your template in place.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 3: Cut around your template then remove the pins and set your template aside. You should how have two perfectly mirrored hearts.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 4: Pin your hearts together so that the right sides are touching and pin in place.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVS3bf0EAayOGH0bhvDALZxwacTbT_rH69YKkKN9lQWieI-75PtxHOFnwa40Zhs6sxy_pDvd2yb0dp-fuwIid7LMunFL1ydjNNzW_Ggqd2xDPvRqmw0MZzpU01Kd6fo2BdPgev/s1600/step+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVS3bf0EAayOGH0bhvDALZxwacTbT_rH69YKkKN9lQWieI-75PtxHOFnwa40Zhs6sxy_pDvd2yb0dp-fuwIid7LMunFL1ydjNNzW_Ggqd2xDPvRqmw0MZzpU01Kd6fo2BdPgev/s400/step+4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
Step 5: Using a 1/2 inch seam allowance sew 3/4 of the way around the heart. Secure the beginning with a back stitch, but not the end. Once you have sewn 3/4 of the way around smooth the fabric along the thread to make sure that there is no gathering. Once everything is smooth back stitch the end.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 6: Turn the heart right side out and stuff with fiber fill.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Step 7: Turn the ends of the opening 1/2 inch inside the heart so that the right sides of the fabric are touching and pin in place.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 8: Using a slip stitch sew the opening closed making sure that you start your thread inside the pillow so your knot is hidden.</div>

I really love using a blue/denim color in my layouts because it really reflects me. I live in jeans, so adapting this look into scrapbooking seems like a natural merge for me.

Packaging with Rosette Fabric & Satin Wired TrimHave you seen the <a href="http://stores.intuitwebsites.com/hstrial-AMillionMemorie0/Categories.bok">rosette fabric </a>that we have in stock at A Million Memories? I must confess that I first saw this fabric in passing when I was doing one of my monthly vintage runs for store product. I thought it was pretty but did not buy it. THEN, when watching one of my TV shows, I saw that someone had used the fuschia fabric on a box for their wedding invitations. It was so stunning that I immediately ran out and bought all the colors that they had left in stock, thinking that my creative customers (and blog followers) would see this and go crazy with their imagination.<br /><br />This past weekend was my Mom's birthday, so I used the fabric to cover a paper mache box that I put a bracelet in. It was SO easy. I just cut out a piece of fabric - about 6 x 6 and then used Fabri-Tac glue to glue it all down. I cut off any excess pieces and covered the bottom and inside of the box with some coordinating paper (this was an old Rhonna Farrer design by Autumn Leaves).<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4GS0TlUJI8MlySNtb_Lkv84Gu_Mmt5uATOPYKiUtb6zD-TsUPS4rnX1OL9qlYTbxMhKtpLpuCX35fMQ7DpeGQCZNJN_XgmXpTMOGXxlLyMyLp_Toec37XzbmnqkbRSJNdAfOE2g/s1600/boxtop.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 366px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5686188425433008514" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4GS0TlUJI8MlySNtb_Lkv84Gu_Mmt5uATOPYKiUtb6zD-TsUPS4rnX1OL9qlYTbxMhKtpLpuCX35fMQ7DpeGQCZNJN_XgmXpTMOGXxlLyMyLp_Toec37XzbmnqkbRSJNdAfOE2g/s400/boxtop.jpg" /></a> Once it was covered, it still need a little something more, so I used<a href="http://stores.intuitwebsites.com/hstrial-AMillionMemorie0/Categories.bok"> some gray satin wired trim </a>from the AMM store and tied a bow around it.<br /><br /><div><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6Mg0f8qjdI6ad3F6w_qJBOLMyP0wDk-ZElt7qk_pfWV_-JXTJ3FYVHIcRx1AuO4PrPyRQWfpj1qP-q410AEnx_8a9FjPqcsZiNz91M4IeIcalKfvYurgUGTbuq8GgdAP_bvFfRg/s1600/boxtop3.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 393px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5686186962919758082" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6Mg0f8qjdI6ad3F6w_qJBOLMyP0wDk-ZElt7qk_pfWV_-JXTJ3FYVHIcRx1AuO4PrPyRQWfpj1qP-q410AEnx_8a9FjPqcsZiNz91M4IeIcalKfvYurgUGTbuq8GgdAP_bvFfRg/s400/boxtop3.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_zgG-SI-zfI6LoyWn1tV3jRWLyunKLoHUlNSTfXZQhesU1QexnFFb3SAkzfmB0rCMmVBZhyphenhyphendmMOOrW944sI2N87ia_879AdLI0phf2ySh05y9IxNa2WQ3TKeoYA4i1CJaDJEOcQ/s1600/boxtop2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 383px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5686186880355709554" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_zgG-SI-zfI6LoyWn1tV3jRWLyunKLoHUlNSTfXZQhesU1QexnFFb3SAkzfmB0rCMmVBZhyphenhyphendmMOOrW944sI2N87ia_879AdLI0phf2ySh05y9IxNa2WQ3TKeoYA4i1CJaDJEOcQ/s400/boxtop2.jpg" /></a> My Mom loved it!
