From a recent trip up to our beloved Big Bear, I couldn't resist crafting!  Taking the This and That books allows me to plot our life (well, I have one as a 'dream journal' where I post pictures from magazines and on-line that I love and dream of the day I will have it - lol).  I can document the memories we make as a family and even, with my children, teach them to document and appreciate their memories.  Recently, my son was journaling about how it felt to win an award at school - it was fun to see him re-living and evaluating how he felt.  (Not bad for a 10 year old boy.)
 
Journaling on our deck - I travel with a small Thirty One bag that has my This and That journals, washi tapes, designer stickers and tape.  I even keep it in the car and use it when I know I need to 'fill time'
 
Print photos from your recent vacation or a favorite get-away. Here the few moments of quiet with a cup of coffee, a fun cup and the lake, feet up... sigh.  With the Groovebook app I can print and carry photos from trips that are date stamped, bound but easy to remove.  It keeps my crafting clean and organized... we print more photos that I'd use so I go through and let my kids use them in their books as they document their time with family, friends and more!  Receive your first Groovebook book for FREE - as a gift from me!  No obligation to buy - I do not receive ANYTHING for this - I just can't resist passing on an amazing find to you - my readers!!
Adhere the photos to the Retro Fresh This and That Journal with the Retro Fresh Designer Washi Tape. The fun and coordinated patterns allows me to add fun elements to my page.
Stamping the words from the Perfect Blend stamp set on the Essentials Wood Elements with the Baked Brown Sugar stamp pad. Adhere these to the pages with Glue Dots. (Such a fun and whimsical element, representing the Sun and Words....)

Stamp the Coffee Cup from the Perfect Blend stamp set on Very Vanilla and a then the band of the coffee cup on a piece of the Retro Fresh Designer Paper. Cut both out and adhere them together.
Journal some thoughts and take a moment to capture "your" time and thoughts (not just that of your family or friends) with the Retro Fresh Designer Journaling Tags. Adhere to the page with the Retro Fresh Designer Washi Tape.

They will take the This and That book of their choice (there are three to pick from - see these options!!) and create a personalized book that they can document, remember and celebrate their lives as well as journal and dream in!!
 
This and That books are packed with patterned paper but a neutral debossed cover - with four fun pockets and coordinating washi tape, designer stickers (these will all come with the class and the books they pick) they will design amazing books that will deliver smiles for years to come!
 
Kids can craft too!  Give the gift of memory documenting to all generations!  These cost-affordable kits are great gifts.  My 6, 8, 10, 24 and 26 year old kids love them... then my nieces, nephews, college students we are friends with, moms, grandmothers and friends of all ages - these books are timeless! 
 
I'm offering a once-a-year This and That Book KIDS CAMP!  Hurry - RSVP ASAP so we can pre-order the This and That collection that you pick for your child and give them the gift of four days of crafting and customizing their books with my papers, crafts, accessories and more!!

Yoyo sparkle hand-stamped card

KISS - Keep It Simple Silly - as my Dad would tell me.  So this is that, a KISS card with Sparkle!!  Creating a fun and simple card is a great time-save while highlighting a special item on the card.  Having recently watched a special on The Smother's Brothers... I knew that I had to create a Yo-Yo card!!  So enjoy this KISS Yo-Yo card with some sparkle... I hope it sends you 'Around the World' (a yo-yo trick - lol).
Create this cute Yo-Yo KISS Card with:
Boys Will Be Boys stamp set (wood 134135/clear 134138)
Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack (133701)
Whisper White card stock (100730)
Hello Honey card stock (133678)
Hello Honey ink pad (133643)
Lost Lagoon ink pad (133644)
Rhinestone Jewels (119246)
Embossing Buddy (103083)
Iridescent Ice (101930)
Heat Tool (129053)
Blender Pens (102845)
1-3/4" Circle Punch (119850)
SNAIL (Simple, Neat, Affordable In-Line) adhesive (104332)
Stampin' Dimensional Adhesive (104430)

RECEIVE YOUR OWN COPY of the New Idea Book and Catalog when You EMAIL ME your name, number and the best time to call, I will send it with a hand-stamped gift!! 
Add dashes of sparkle to this clean card with a few methods..   SNAIL the Moonlight Designer Series Paper to the Hello Honey card stock.  Apply the small and medium adhesive backed Rhinestone Jewels in random places to tie into the fun polka dot pattern.
Here prepare the surface of the Whisper White card stock by rubbing the Embossing Buddy across the surface.  Hand-Stamp the image of the YoYo from the Boys will be Boys stamp set in the Hello Honey ink pad.  QUICKLY Cover with the Iridescent Ice embossing powder for a clear, raised and sparkling addition.  Make sure to hold the Heat Tool at a 45* angle and heat one area until it raises, becoming shiny and sparkly.  Move it slowly as each area heats and sets.

The lines will now sparkle and be raised and slightly darker.  Squeeze the Hello Honey ink pad into the lid and use this excess palate of color with the Blender Pens.  Here you have real control to color and shadow but not a 'watercolor' look.

Punch the image out with the 1-3/4" Circle Punch to coordinate with the pretty Moonlight paper.  The off-center punch also lends toward the random polka-dot-ness.  Use the Stampin' Dimensional Adhesive to create dimension and let this card raise above the rest!
Here, this 'Happy Birthday' from the Boys will be Boys stamp set looks sharp in the new Lost-Lagoon ink pad.  QUICKLY Apply the Iridescent Ice and Emboss with the Heat Tool for a dash of additional sparkle!!  Photographing sparkle is pretty challenging - lol... I hope that you get the impression that it's sparkly but not 'in your face'.

It isn't 'in your face' but rather a cool, classic KISS card that has a subtle but impactful sparkle!  My Daddy would have been proud (he often told me to KISS and loved The Smother's Brothers, lol).  This card, even with sparkle, is great for the young and old, male and female.  There is something lovely about highlighting an image on a clean card.  This hand-stamped simple but fun card is a fun way deliver some smile and memories (add a Yo-Yo gift delight the young and young at heart).

What Others are SAYING about Getting Crafty with Jamie

Jamie is so passionate and creative about making cards - and wants everyone else to join her in the fun! She is so encouraging and positive in her attitude, helping me along when I get frustrated - and then rejoicing with me at the finished product! I love going to her classes to get new ideas, learn techniques, and have loads of fun in the process. ~ Christine C.

Jamie has wicked awesome classes! If you don’t like a particular stamp or paper/ink color Jamie wants you to change it to suit your style! I did my sister-in-law’s entire bridal shower from invitations/thank you cards, party favors to decorations, it was quaint and whimsical! Everyone ooh’d and ahh’d! I’ve had lots of special requests for classes and Jamie delivers; she always has tasty treats and flavored coffees too ~Ashley W.

I have been attending Jamie's classes for over a year. Her ideas for cards are fresh and fun. She always tries to have several different styles of cards available, so everyone gets to make cards that fit their personal style. The techniques she shows each class can be used in many different applications. She is very patient teacher when instructing class members on how to use the Stampin Up products. ~ Carol D.

If I looked up the word sparkle in the dictionary, I would find Jamie Albanese picture there. I have had the sweet blessing of knowing Jamie and her family for over 5 years now. Every time I am with her I feel loved and inspired. When I am in one of her classes I feel my creative juices flow, as she encourages me to go outside my comfort zone. Jamie helped our girl scout troop make cards for a soldier who needed some encouragement!!! For any of you who have not been in one of Jamie's classes, please don't let another day slip by. She is a beautiful friend and she will become yours too. ~ Blessings, Karen:-)

Jamie has a great eye for style and flair, and it shows in her work. Yet she can pick up on your own individual style and makes great recommendations. I love that she is always flexible for last-minute decision maker mommies like me! So much fun to host craft events with your friends and family - that personal touch always means so much. ~ Adonna
