Introducing...Snowhaven

Welcome to the Evergreen Memories Team & Friends 2014-2015 Annual Inspirations New Product blog hop! If you've come from Carla's page featuring the new Chalk It Up paper, thanks for stopping by. Several of the items featured on the blog hop use the August stamp of the month, which you can purchase for only $5 with any $50 order. And many feature shapes cut from our three exclusive Cricut cartridges.

I'm so proud to be part of a team with these super talented ladies. I hope you enjoy the beautiful artwork we've created with the fabulous new products Close To My Heart has provided for us.

Last week, I gave you a sneak peek of all our projects. Here's mine - one of the 2 Christmas paper packets - Snowhaven. Every year, I think CTMH has created my "new" favorite snow-themed paper…and every year they come up with one I love more!

I really like the black & Whisper (gray) accents in Snowhaven. This packet also features one of the new card stock colors, Glacier. Another favorite! I used all 3 of our Cricut cartridges for ALL my projects. Did you know that many of our stamps coordinate with our Cricut cuts? Makes putting cards & tags together quick & easy!! And of course, some washi tape, sparkles & shimmer trim for a little bling :)

This paper is going to be perfect for all your winter cards, scrapbook pages & projects. Please watch my Facebook page for workshop details in the coming months.

Please continue on to Lalia's page to see what she's created with the Brushed papers.

New Product Sneak Peek

Have you checked out the new 2014-2015 Annual Inspirations Idea Book yet? It was released earlier this month as our new annual catalog & is full of new product for an entire year's worth of projects & holiday decor. It's so much fun looking through the new creative projects featured on every page…my creative juices have been flowing!

Here's a little peek of what our team has created recently. I'm proud to be part of a super talented group of women; and we did an artwork swap with the 9 new paper packets plus paper fundamentals, embossing folders & Picture My Life products. To see the full projects, I hope you'll come to my Scrappy Hour event on August 29. Please RSVP for directions.
