A month or so ago I mentioned an exciting new partnership between the scrapbook company Bella Blvd. and Shanna Noel, the founder of Illustrated Faith. They've produced a new line of products that are perfect to use in a Journaling Bible or in any scrapbook project - especially an inspirational one! They were so generous to send me a full kit of the products for me to use as a part of their Creative Team and two extra kits for me to give away on my blog - how cool is that! The Genesis kit, as this first group of products is called, has only been available so far as a full kit but will soon be available at scrapbook stores as individual pieces for you to purchase. In the meantime, I want to give these two kits to two people who leave a comment on this blog post. I'll use a random number generator to choose a number on Sunday evening, July 12, at 9pm Eastern time.
Let me show you what's in the kit! It all comes in this handy zipper pouch with a cute polka dot lining...
The first thing is a ruler mat to protect your Bible pages and give a firm, lined surface to write on. Love this!
There is a Genesis devotional booklet to help you get started and four different styles of letter stickers in a bunch of pretty colors...
There are tab and label and word stickers... love the hearts!
And three different washi tapes and a journaling pen.
It is a fabulous kit of custom made products. Don't be shy! Leave a comment below and maybe you'll be receiving one of these in the mail soon!
It's a busy season of classes coming up as my "Summer Tour" continues! :)
I'm in Oklahoma City this weekend teaching at the beautiful Paper Crown store - it is so much more than just a scrapbook store - it is paper and vintage things and gifts - I can't wait! Come and join us, if you can! The class info is on the store website HERE.
In just two weeks (July 25th and 26th) I'll be heading to southern California for a fun weekend of classes at Paper Tales in San Diego. I can't wait to see everyone there again - if you're in the area or maybe want to take a road trip, it's worth the trip to visit this cool store and get to play together! The class information can be found HERE.
The next weekend I'll be heading up to northern California and teaching at two different locations! On Saturday, August 1st, I'll be teaching two classes (Collecting Happy Moments and the Debby-dori book) at The Island's Creative Escape, and on Sunday, August 2nd, at A Work of Heart, I'll be teaching the In Bloom altered book class. Both stores are in San Jose - I've been teaching in San Jose for many years and can't wait to see everyone and meet some new friends too!
One last summer class opportunity is the weekend of August 14 and 15, when I'll be in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area at The Scrapbook Store & More for the first time! I know I'll see some of my Chicago friends there and look forward to meeting new friends at my friend, Christine's shop! You can find that class info HERE.
Most stores will ship the kits to you, if you don't live near one of these locations. The kits come with the instructions and photos of the projects along with the class kit.
Next week registration will begin for my sixth annual Christmas shopping trip to New York City, the weekend before Thanksgiving. We always have such a good time as we explore the city with the holiday decorations adorning the windows and buildings and shopping at the Christmas markets and flagship stores. If you'd like to be on the advance email list, you can send me a quick email to [email protected]. We're having some new adventures that I can't wait to share with you!
Whew! That's a lot of information! Don't forget to leave a comment below... thank you for all your support and encouragement! Much love, Debby :)
