What do you Think?

I am considering moving this blog to Typepad. Here's why:

1. Typepad blogs just look nicer. I don't know html, or have the time or interest to learn html and so, this blog looks yucky. I have always hated it, but without more time and knowledge, I am stuck with what blogger offers.

2. Typepad makes it easier to share the blog through social networks.

3. Did I mention Typepad looks nicer.

What do you think? Will you be sad if I switch, or will you get used to it quickly? How do you arrive at the blog? Do you link through our home page, another page, or type in the address?

Have you used Typepad and Blogger? Which do you like better? I have a week and a half left of my free trial and I just need a bit of help making up my mind.

On another note, I have always loved this project by Natasja.

I think it's so great how she used the matrix as a background. When I first saw it, I wanted to make a mini album using matrices as pages. Well, I never got around to that, but I did get around to this:

We're Back

Good morning! We had a safe trip back and after sleeping most of the day yesterday, I feel almost like my old self again.

I wanted to post this project by Natasja Verbeek, because Lindsay showed it in a video and gave credit to a fictitious person named Martina...... although he did get the country right. I absolutely love this project. I emailed the photos of my son, Jack, over to Holland where Natasja made this book. She bound it with ribbon for the show and it was a big hit! I'm not sure what she used as the pages, but you could used chipboard, bookboard, old game boards, old book covers, etc.

Many of you want to know which line sold the best. Well, I would tell you if I knew, but it is too close to call. To be honest, we cannot, at this point, even rule out Lil' Men and Everafter. Even when the orders are entered, Lindsay and I will continue the debate until the lines are dead...... and I mean dead, dead, dead. We are still arguing over whether Halfway Cafe will ever be able to sell more than Dutch Girl. I picked Dutch Girl which was number one, but now there is a chance Halfway Cafe could be picked up by another account giving Lindsay his bragging rights two years later.

The Card Has Spoken!

**** Be sure to check the blog tomorrow for more great projects featuring our new releases!****

Have you been on the edge of your seats?

We'll begin our Sneak Peek this morning with one of our four new lines...... Girl Friday. She's cute, she's hip, she's totally down to earth. You have to check out her "Elements." I am so excited about these!

The second line for today is Everafter. Much more formal than Girl Friday, Everafter is beautiful for weddings, engagements, mother's day and heritage pages.

For all of you worried about all this girly stuff, relax, we have your boys covered...... even those really big ones you call hubby. Check out Lil' Man below..... I really love the "Ready, Set, Chip" chipboard stickers!

And finally, meet Snorkel. To introduce this collection, I think a song is appropriate.

Summer scrappin’ had me a Blast. Summer scrappin’ happened so fast! I found a line, perfect for me. I found a photo cute as could be. Summer days, driftin’ away to, uh, oh, those summer night crops. A well, a well, a well, uh huh. Tell me more, tell me more, did you get very far? Tell me more, tell me more, was your layout the star? When you see my layout, you’ll start to drool. ‘Cause stuff with Snorkel ends up so cool. Summer days, driftin’ away to, uh, oh, those summer night crops.
