The Creative Imaginations CHA Party is always one of the most talked about events of the show! If you are going…make sure you make this AMAZING mini book Danelle created with the new Creative Cafe foil papers and new Accucut dies!

We’ll be creating a mini album with your entire year in this one cute album. Each page features a Creative Cafe month paper (January through December). It’s the perfect way to include a few photos of each month of the year! All bound together with the Bind-It-All this makes the perfect momento or gift too!

Now the FUN part…

We’ll give away TWO of these adorable make and take kits on the blog!

Post your name, AND where you get most of your creative supplies! We’ll pick TWO winners on Monday, January 25th! Tell a friend, and have them post too, and you BOTH may win!

 

My favorite part of these exciting new Creative Cafe dies from Accucut are the words and flowers! The sizing of the words make them wonderful to use with rub-ons, stickers or even stamps. 

 

Below are MORE samples, that are just a preview of two other wonderful projects we’ll showcase in the next few days! The set of flower dies includes over 8 different pieces that you can mix and match to create different flowers, stems and centers. You’ll love all the different combinations you can create!

CHA Winter 2010 is going to be an exciting show. Make sure you stay tuned for more previews of the new products… as well as a few FREE giveaways!

 

Fall is here, Halloween is this weekend, and it’s the perfect time to get all those photos of oranges, reds and browns! We loved this chipboard book using Creative Cafe transparencies, Accucut dies and glitter paper. 

From the pumpkin patch, to fall colors, this the perfect time of year for great photos. What are taking photos of this weekend? Your ghosts and goblins, trick or treating? Let us know, we’d love to hear!

 

I have a TON of friends and family on my calendar with birthdays in March, and I always wish I took the time to create something personal, just for them…. 

Here are some GREAT ideas to inspire you for the birthday people on your list! All made with Creative Cafe products, these gift ideas are more fun and personal too.

Perfect idea for a class party, or centerpiece…

Create your own party favors! Fill them with candy, little prizes or just a few treats. Perfect gift idea for a table decoration too!

The holiday season is here, and Danelle was inspired to create these adorable mini books with her Creative Cafe Accucut dies and our colored chipboard! These mini albums make great gifts, or just a keepsake for yourself. Don’t miss your chance to win one… the details are below!

These mini books are SO easy to make! There are two shapes on each die in the two-die set. You can use just one of the shapes to make an album or mix them all up, to create all different shaped pages. Just think of the possibilities with just TWO dies! 

Jen at Accucut created this Creative Cafe mini book of her daughter, Camryn. The Creative Cafe binder fits all these pages perfectly, and what a great keepsake of all your memories!

How can you WIN one? Just post a comment telling us why you love making mini books! We’ll be giving away TWO chipboard mini books next week. Winners announced on Wednesday, December 17th. Good Luck!

Congratulations to our winners of the Creative Cafe December months stamps: Lisa Tanner and Nicole Carr! PLUS we had two winners from our holiday recipes… that won a set of Creative Cafe tags and buttons: Lana Day and Melinda! Watch your mailboxes for your prizes.

One of my favorite times of the year is when all the fall colors are so bright and vivid…intense orange, rust and yellows everywhere!

Wow, can you believe that?  We all know how time flies, so now would be a good time to get busy on those handmade gifts.  This little round Chipboard album made with an Accucut circle die and lots of Creative Cafe cardstock stickers, buttons, and chipboard shapes would be a perfect gift for a loved one who would enjoy a yearly review of photos.  The circle shape is a fun way to create and you can easily follow the edges to add your own handwriting for that extra personal touch. 

Best wishes for a productive fall season!

I have been wanting to create an over-the-top Creative Cafe decadent type layout.  While even the smallest amount of these products make any layout or card look fantastic, this layout here is more of a passion piece.  Not only is this my favorite picture of my little girl and I, but I’ve featured it with lots of sweet chipboard pieces, gemstones, velvet ribbed ribbon, felt words, butterflies, frames, die cut tags, flowers, tickets, polka dot felt and stickers.

Hope this layout inspires you to indulge and use lots of your favorite Creative Cafe products today - the results are sure to be fantastic!

Have a great day!!

with school back in session, i made my daughter a clipboard, put magnets on the back to hang it up on the refrigerator. I put a “to do” list clipped to it each day, so when she comes home from school she can start on the things she needs to do. (ideally, empty backpack, do homework, have a snack, lay out clothes for tomorrow, take a bath, read etc.).

 

 

Creative Cafe buttons and chipboard… how can you go wrong with that combination?!  :)  I love how everything coordinates perfectly, the finishes on the buttons, and the fun chipboard shapes.  On this layout I used some of the chipboard squares/diamonds and some of the buttons to make a border along the bottom of my photo.  Super simple to do but it adds a lot of dimension to the page.  I also used the new die-cut paper and new patterned paper on this as well as some rub-ons, the awesome scalloped border, and cardstock die cuts. 

Have a great day!  Nicole
