Scrap Your Trip Adds 230 Items +K&Co/Kimberly Poloson Pre-Order

“Life is in the details.” This is one of my favorite sayings. So many times we scrapbook the “big events” but our life is really made up of the little day-to-day moments that help us become who we are. At dinner the other night, my son, Logan, told me he had a song to sing for me. I grabbed my new video camera and got the follwing video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BTN_MFmz84. I was so touched and so happy I got this on video. It’s the perfect example of my sweet little 5-year old boy, with his little boy lisp and his unabashed love for his mommy. He’s growing up so fast and I know the days of these heartfelt displays of love, complete with lots of hugs and kisses, are going to be getting fewer and farther between. I’m so excited about the video camera I used to make this video that I have to tell you about it. A friend recommended it to me and I’m passing on the favor. It’s called a Flip and it’s so easy to use it’s almost ridiculous! It only has 3 buttons: Record, Play and Delete. When you’re done, you plug it into a USB port (yes, the whole camera) and the software says “Do you want to save to your computer, e-mail or share online?” I chose share online, signed into YouTube and it uploaded the video. The whole thing, including it automatically installing the software, took less than 15 minutes and I was able to do it all myself. I didn’t even have to ask Nicole (our 20-year old resident tech expert) for help! At the bottom of the e-mail is the link for it from Amazon – it tells all the details. I can’t even tell you how happy I am that I bought it. Even if I never use it again, the video of Logan is priceless and was worth the $130. We have over 200 new products this week in over 20 different catagories. We have lots of travel, including a custom luggage tag that we can customize with your name and address or any other saying you choose, i.e., Vegas or Bust! We have general travel sayings and lots of products for England, Canada, Florida and a new line from Reminisce called “Coastal Passion”. It reminds me of New England summers. We also have a graduation line from Marah Johnson for Creative Imaginations. There were several posts on the blog asking for “Class of…” die cuts. We made them this week, and you can choose the year and your school colors (Go Class of ’85!) We also made cuts for other special requests, including trap shooting, baton twirling and a quail. If you have special requests, let us know on the blog. Also, if you could give us some ideas as to what images, sayings, etc. you want to see, it would be really helpful. I’ve never been trap shooting before and I wouldn’t have known to make a die cut that says “Calling for the Bird” if our customer hadn’t given us the “lingo”. We have papers and stickers for lots of sports categories from Scrappin’ Sports & More, and we also have a brand new line for scrapbooking your pregnancy from Creative Imaginations. It’s really cute and it’s the first time I’ve seen anything like it. It even comes with a little journal. Click here to see all the items: http://www.scrapyourtrip.com/50708.html. We also have 2 new lines available for pre-order this week. First is a heritage inspired line by Kimberly Poloson with two collections: Old Fashioned Flowers and Cabana Blooms. It’s blues and browns and greens and oranges with antique floral patterns. Second are 12 awesome “Photo Scrap Albums” from K&Co. It’s combination pre-made scrapbook and photo album and it’s perfect when you want something quick. They would also make a great gift for someone who wants to dabble in scrapbooking but hasn’t started yet. Our estimated ship date on these items is May 28, and remember that any order with any of these items on it won’t ship until then. If you need your other items sooner, please place two separate orders. Click here to see: http://www.scrapyourtrip.com/preorder.html. It’s Teacher Appreciation Week and we made a special die cut for the #1 Teacher in your life. I am so lucky that both my kids have awesome teachers. They both love going to school and I know it’s partly due to the great teachers they get to spend time with everyday. To teachers everywhere…thanks for all you do! As mentioned above, here is the link to the Flip video camera: Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder, 60-Minutes – hopefully you’ll love it as much as I do! As always, thanks for your business!
