Sorry, I am in my last quarter of school, I get my degree in June in web design and then you will see lots more ;) I posted some at the end of the post.<br /><br />I have been really inspired by a scrapbook product lately though. Let me ask you something?<br /><br />Have you ever gone to a crop and wished you had a certain scrapbook magazine, but who is going to carry pounds of scrapbook magazines to a crop or weekend scrapbook getaway?<br /><br />Have you ever bookmarked a magazine page thinking it was a great idea for a certain page or picture, then go back to it later and forget why exactly you bookmarked it?<br /><br />Have you ever started scrapbooking, grabbed a product, remembered you saw a great idea a couple months back (you think), in Scrapbook Trends (you think...or maybe it was Cards), go to look for it through your stack of magazines and not be able to find it?<br /><br /><br />YES, YES, and YES...for me ;)<br /><br />I am so excited about Scrapbook Trends new online magazine idea. You get the same issue you would receive in the mail, at a much cheaper cost, and about a month before paper magazine subscribers get it!<br /><br />I have always loved Scrapbook Trends, Cards, Paper Trends (now Simply Handmade). I actually subscribed to all three for a full year. You should see my scrapbook room with all those magazines stacked up, I am not going to throw them away with how much I paid for them!<br /><br />Now I subscribed to the online magazine. Only $10.00 a month for the recent issues of Scrapbook Trends, Cards, Simply Handmade, Idea Books, and Bead Trends! I am so excited. I started using it today. Also, next time I go to a three day scrapbook retreat I can have all my issues and ideas with me on my laptop (which I would be bringing anyways).<br /><br />The coolest part is how interactive it is. You can bookmark pages, search through issues with a search feature, and it has a sticky note feature you can add to pages. Then you can go back and look at just your sticky notes for that magazine. It is going to be so much easier to find what I am looking for now. Some stickies I have posted already are some like, "great boy page idea" and "great use of felt". Then you go back when you scrapbook and click on that sticky note and it takes you right to the page. It is awesome.<br /><br />If you only want one magazine type (I know I have a lot of hard core card makers that subscribe), it is only $4.99 a month!<br /><br />O.k. I have to go play and look at the new JUNE SCRAPBOOK TRENDS ISSUE (thats right June is already up for your viewing pleasure)<br /><br />Try out the online magazine and all the cool features with the Mini-Albums Idea Book : <a href="http://content.yudu.com/A1700t/IBMIN08/resources/index.htm?referrerUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fnorthridgemedia.typepad.com%2Fcards%2F">ITS FREE!</a><br /><br />Click here to subscribe : <a href="https://scrapbooktrends.securesites.net/subscribe_online1.html">SUBSCRIBE</a><br /><br />Click here to learn about more, and a list of the benefits: <a href="https://scrapbooktrends.securesites.net/onlineeditions.html">MORE INFO</a><br /><br />P.S. I had the pleasure of talking with Scrapbook Trends customer service today (how often do you hear the word pleasure in that sentence...haha). They were really great, going above and beyond....I was truly impressed. They really care about their customers.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">April 2009<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivz-jCj_YMKqnc3aHmoh2xQvr07jKZwsRjPyWO2K3qYKfJ1bxV3WmDQbwfcUii8ydN6tzsheaYEpjuZDjzGHt6NapYwUO-Ftr8wkk3CH2i4PABHr9C1fc2_Sq3fhcNoQjcxBEe7g/s1600-h/april204_cropped.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivz-jCj_YMKqnc3aHmoh2xQvr07jKZwsRjPyWO2K3qYKfJ1bxV3WmDQbwfcUii8ydN6tzsheaYEpjuZDjzGHt6NapYwUO-Ftr8wkk3CH2i4PABHr9C1fc2_Sq3fhcNoQjcxBEe7g/s400/april204_cropped.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331095297100735202" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I made this card for one of my favorite teachers last quarter.

I wanted to scrapbook his likes and dislikes at 2 years old. I am a fan of pages that are not 12x12 squares so I let the <a href="http://pinkpaislee.com/">Pink Paislee</a> border hang off the side of the paper. To get the texture in the plain chipboard @ symbole and number 2 I ran it through the <a href="http://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/the-wizard/the-wizard.html">wizard</a> as if I was cutting dies into the chipboard, it leaves a nice groove.<br /><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxb7611oweT-H22HZf7M55NaCNSD8UsVa1AkIZDOLMhVRvArsutFaCYzW1RlBElK0Z5rXfa7P4XJumsnUFbNvhrULJ12s90-qmRIx5JBUM60ziwia089sONCvW0KOPpfkuncdqHw/s1600-h/January_layout.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 388px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxb7611oweT-H22HZf7M55NaCNSD8UsVa1AkIZDOLMhVRvArsutFaCYzW1RlBElK0Z5rXfa7P4XJumsnUFbNvhrULJ12s90-qmRIx5JBUM60ziwia089sONCvW0KOPpfkuncdqHw/s400/January_layout.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331094679971329154" border="0" /></a>Michelle Jo Klomphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00320420574737679381noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36568033.post-13708223735139408682008-08-17T11:54:00.000-07:002008-08-17T12:17:44.613-07:00Relaxing Sunday?No...busy as usual. I have only one shoot today which is nice. School is out right now for a month...it is actually my favorite time of the year, I get a whole month off of school.

Now you are going to use the Spellbinders die to stencil onto the fabric album. Put the Spellbinders die cut stencil upside down so it lays flush with the fabric album. Use a sharpie or Copic marker to trace around the shape than use a dark color to ink the inside (don’t worry if it is too dark the next step will tone it down).<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMrA4DaS29zK90b9HyTEcwahVd-2C-ZLjmDDI9ONbePsZl52dZ0ck0ciKv3J6ToDJzaDDBkxIUzGd7FIu7Q1fvoB9kCbwU8wziKJtivlHhxspMViGFiz381wME3QE6f6VutWXPvg/s1600-h/sunflower3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMrA4DaS29zK90b9HyTEcwahVd-2C-ZLjmDDI9ONbePsZl52dZ0ck0ciKv3J6ToDJzaDDBkxIUzGd7FIu7Q1fvoB9kCbwU8wziKJtivlHhxspMViGFiz381wME3QE6f6VutWXPvg/s400/sunflower3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5219355618030833042" border="0" /></a><br />5. Remove the Spellbinders die and use a lighter shade of green to cover the entire leaf image.<br />6. Repeat, I chose to have two stenciled leaves on my album.<br />7.

I took fun pictures of my girls picking the name out of a hat but I can not find my memory card reader! UGH it is driving me nuts. When I went to my wedding consultations last weekend I was packing my laptop and stuff in my bag. Well my 1 year old son being a cutie went and took a cord off the desk to help me out. He gave it to me to pack in my bag seeing me pack other cords. I ended up putting it to the side along with some other cords he found and brought me and now I cant find it ;-(<br /><br />I may have to go buy a new one tomorrow. I have assignments that need to be posted and e-mailed and I cant hold off another day without my reader.<br /><br />Lisa, email me with your address and I will send the stamps off for you. Thank you to everyone that entered. I had fun and I am going to do it again for sure. I have a TON of stuff that I receive designing that I either have duplicates of or will never use. So stay tuned maybe I will do one a month.<br /><br />AND when I find my memory card reader or buy a new one I have some fun stuff to post. A new schoolhouse album by Clear Scraps that I had soo much fun working with (its also a CHA sneak peek).<br /><br />AND if you are attending CHA PLEASE come visit me at the CHA Spellbinders booth ;-)<br /><br />-Michelle Klomp<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span>Michelle Jo Klomphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00320420574737679381noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36568033.post-1729367834740970412008-01-15T10:33:00.000-08:002008-01-16T10:40:12.238-08:00Blog Contest<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3UXBkU4IS6UQu9CNbVyqEpMjA7_CcMGx-EagbPAqQk9XJFnoTWogiWBohgINq5sbzO7aX6nYZyDv1FllswWsGtO4FlPw6F1bYhgLI4Ti9-cRHd6Set_QJfEa2q0YqBUNqRFc8Xg/s1600-h/thumbnail.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3UXBkU4IS6UQu9CNbVyqEpMjA7_CcMGx-EagbPAqQk9XJFnoTWogiWBohgINq5sbzO7aX6nYZyDv1FllswWsGtO4FlPw6F1bYhgLI4Ti9-cRHd6Set_QJfEa2q0YqBUNqRFc8Xg/s400/thumbnail.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156146041097677618" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aPKE9WIdrU8/R4z76C9yvII/AAAAAAAAAAc/nZs41oSensU/s1600-h/thumbnail.img"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_aPKE9WIdrU8/R4z76C9yvII/AAAAAAAAAAc/nZs41oSensU/s320/thumbnail.img" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5155772648079408258" border="0" /></a>This is my first but it should be fun. I just came back from my amazing trip with Spellbinders in Arizona.<br /><br />One of the companies that generously gave us products was Rita Marie. The stamps that were given to me I love, and hence already have. So I am giving away these fun stamps by Rita Marie.<br /><br />What do you have to do to win these? Just post a comment telling me what your favorite Spellbinders die is. Since Spellbinders dies work with any die cut system you already own most of you will already have a favorite. However, you can also view Spellbinders product line to pick your favorite.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.spellbinders.us/ct/store/cat_dies.asp?type=&count=75&sort=">http://www.spellbinders.us/ct/store/cat_dies.asp?type=&count=75&sort=</a><br /><br />Let the fun begin :-)<br /><br />-Michelle K<br /><br />BTW - I will be paying for shipping, International welcome to play. I will get the exact measurements but the stamp sheet is on the larger side. A winner will be picked at random. These are acrylic stamps.Michelle Jo Klomphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00320420574737679381noreply@blogger.com31tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36568033.post-15176806768890551662008-01-09T10:25:00.001-08:002008-01-09T10:26:30.962-08:00On my way to Arizona...I am sitting at the airport right now in the USO.

School started two weeks ago and I am taking 13 units. It took me a couple weeks to get into the swing of things. I am ahead in all my classes now so the rest of the semester should be not that bad. </div><div><br /></div><div>I didn't scrapbook the whole time Cory was gone so I have been in my room more since he got home last week. However, not so much for scrapbooking...lol My local scrapbook store is doing a garage sale and I am really trying to get rid of stuff I dont use this time. They give us these labels that has your number on them and a spot to put the price of your goods. I used over 500 labels!! The really bad part is that if you walked into my scrapbook room now that I took all that stuff out for the garage sale you would not even notice anything was gone...lol<br /></div><div>The garage sale is tomorrow so wish me luck that my stuff sells!! </div><div><br /></div><div>Here are a couple pages I did....</div><div align="center"><br />I made these as a GDT member for an awesome kit club and website. <a href="http://www.paperjamstudio.com/">http://www.paperjamstudio.com/</a><br />I have more to post from the stuff I made from the kit but if you </div><div align="center">have not picked up the BG lines Mellow or Periphery kits</div><div align="center">pick them up here.
