Cute Quotes!

Monday Product Review: Digital Expressions

Hey guys, sometimes when I am designing pages, the pictures tell a pretty good story and don't need much journaling. But sometimes a little saying or quote would just add that something special to it. If you feel this way too you should check out Creative Memories Digital Expressions. These cute saying and quotes are designed almost like a logo. They use a variety of fonts and design elements.

These all run $5.95 from my site www.mycmsite.com/shannondabling

These are the newest addition featuring BABY

Remember to see all the digital expressions in a PDF go to my website www.mycmsite.com/shannondabling then go to the Help Zone>Digital>Digital Content then scroll down until you see Digital Enhancement category and Digital expressions is the first ones listed.

 

Happy Monday

Product Review

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this product. It is an oldie but a goodie. And being the first of the year I think its appropriate to showcase the PowerSort Box

If you have this box you know what I mean!

 

This amazing box hold up to 2400 printed photos. So if your New Year Resolution is to get your photos organized this is what you need. 

This box is $37.50 and I sold the last one on my shelf today!

I will be holding a Organizing Workshop sometime this month (Just need to get the date approved by my hubby :) ) And I will work with you to get Organized and get a plan in place for completing your albums. I already have quite a few ready and waiting so email me at spdabling@msn.com to get on my list for the workshop.

 

Happy Organizing

Monday: Reflection

With the economy going the way it is and with all the natural disasters that have happened in the last few years, I keep thinking what am I  doing to prepare myself if something happened to me. I started thinking of my priorities.

1. Food. I have to have food to feed  my family and to survive.

2. Clothes and supplies. Like a 72 hour kit. Flashlights, etc what we would take with us in case of an emergency.

3.  And our pictures are a priority to me and my kids (even Riley loves looking at the albums). With my love for photos I keep thinking would they be easy to grab if I had 12 hours notice to evacuate?

I would have to answer yes! Because of Creative Memories Organizational tools I could grab my two power sort boxes, finished albums and my Laptop and external Hard Drive I would have all my photos in 10 minutes.

Now I do have about 9 months of food storage

but I don't have 72 hour kits yet.  But I am getting there.

Of course I could never plan for everything but I am doing what I can and what's important to me.

 

Just Reflecting

Monday:Product Review

Last Thursday my class at AccuColor went extremely well. Since I was the Host, I was also able to earn some great Host Rewards. For the months September through November as a Host and with Sales up to $400 the host can earn the $99 collections or the new Keepsake Display for $29.95. So I decided to get the Keepsake Display because it is so darn cute!

(check out the host rewards here)

Don't you agree. You can find out how to earn this for $29.95 by contacting me or clicking on the link above to my site.

Or you can order the Keepsake Display for $89.

This is a canvas-covered magnetic board that is 15x15 that includes 6 magnets. On the inside you will find a French Bulletin board with a ribbon grid that can hold photos or whatever you want. On the right side is a deeper box that has hooks for keys and a strap to keep things in place.

I can't wait to get mine...on Thursday! Yay!

Monday Product Review: Gifts under $50

With Christmas coming around the corner (and will be here before we know it) Early Shopping can save you money and headache.

So I am going to start posting about those gift ideas that we want to put a lot of heart and thought behind, but not a lot of time or money.

So the Gift under $50 for today is the

Mini Everyday Display

This display makes great gifts for mom, grandmas, kids, and even dads.  This display is an open frame with a magnetic back. They come with matching magnets and mini clothespins. It can either been hung or it has an easel back for standing it up.

The mini display is 11.5x11.5 with an 8x8 opening. It comes in Black, White, or Chocolate for $35! You can order this directly from my site.

There is also a larger Everyday Display (well it's called the Everyday Display) and its 18x18 with a 13.5 x 13.5 opening and its $52.

I recently made one of these for my husbands grandma for her birthday this summer. I actually forgot about a gift, we always give her some sort of photo or memory gift. So being a consultant I had one of these in inventory. Luckily, because 5 minutes before we are to start loading the car, I thought "Oh my, What am I going to do for Grandmas present." I totally spaced it! So I looked around and remembered this frame.  I grabbed a few printed pictures, pulled out some paper for the background and quickly cropped and matted the few pictured I had and "TADA" a beautiful gift that looked like I spent a lot of time and money.

 

Happy Holiday Shopping

Page Frames:

 

I just ordered my first Page Frame. I am so excited to make a page and display it in this frame. I have so many different ideas.  I have a thought about making a monthly calendar, or the family rules. I also would like a page that shows off the kids. WOW (that's more than one page frame.)

Think about what you would like to frame and see up on the wall. Now imagine that you could create it yourself in Storybook Creator and change it out whenever you want!  Now that sounds like fun!

There are also so many different options for these frames:

Frame colors are:

Black:

Mahogany:

White:

Mat Options are:

White, Black, Chocolate, Olive, and Cream

Frame Sizes are:

16x16 with 12x12 Mat Opening

16X16 with 8x8 Mat Opening

and 11x11 with 8x8 Mat Opening

Just go to my Site to check this amazing product. Its under the Inspired Surrounding Category. You can also purchase right from my web site and have it directly shipped to you! Yay!

 

Happy Shopping

Monday: Product Review

The product review for today is the School Power Paletts and Digital Kits.

With school just around the corner, I know I am getting ready to get more scrapbooking done. I really want to finish up last year so that I am not getting behind. While Maddie is my only one in school I think it will be a great idea to not get behind! (true intentions)

So with back to school night coming up me and my daughter sat down and made this little card for her teacher from the School Digital kit.

There are so many uses for this program! Keep the ideas coming.

Monday: Product Review

Digital Kits:

With new releases of Digital Kits it can be a bit confusing. So, hopefully I can clear things up a little.

First, there are Digital Power Palettes. These are Digital versions of the Paper Power Palettes. These typically are $9.95

Second, there are Digital Pre-designed Pages available in the storybook sizes. Each size is sold separately for $7.95

Third, there are Digital Power Palette Additions. These are smaller collections that match the Power Palettes that are for specific themes. These are $3.95

Fourth, there are Digital Power Palette Kits. Now this is where I get confused. But these are specialty kits (Disney, wedding, etc) priced at $7.95

Fifth, there are Digital Enhancements. These are collections of embellishments that are versatile. For example the office supplies have staples, envelopes, paper clips, etc. These are typically $5.95.

lastly, they have Digital Kits that are not a part of the Digital Power Palettes, I am not actually sure they are still adding to this line but there are some existing digital kits. These are all priced at $7.95

New Products are released often so make sure you check my site regularly to see what's new. www.mycmsite.com/shannondabling
