Been playing!

Been playing with the July Scrap Kit today and wow! It's sooooooooo easy to use & versatile.....gotta love Crate for that. The die cut embellishment sheet is great - the hardest decision is which embellishment to use without trying to layer them all onto the page at once. The pearls make perfect bloom centres. The GCD letter stickers are sooooooooooooo easy to use & I can't believe how many you get in the pack!

It's been a while since I created a multiple photo layout. This is a series of pics from the twins' first birthday party in June of Amelia in her new swing - it was one of those rare Summer days where we actually had some sun - remember those????

If you want to subscribe to our kits starting with the July kit, it's not too late - check out our subscription info & sign up here.

American Crafts has landed!

Have you seen what's new at Sarah's Cards this week?

We have received the most gorgeous parcel from American Crafts and have added all 48 Amplified papers to the website. These aren't just any patterned papers though! Amongst them are scalloped edge, foiled, embossed and varnished papers, great for adding an extra special touch to your layouts. There are 4 different colourways, all are vibrant and funky and feature the most fantastic designs, they are also double sided with a co-ordinating plain colour on the reverse.

We have also added co-ordinating Minimark alphabet rub-ons in two new fonts and some gorgeous accent Minimarks too.

Check them all out in our American Crafts section here.
