For many of us, our favorite crafty time of year is winter. What could be better than snuggling up with a blanket, a cup of cocoa, and reams of patterned paper? Well, while summertime means more time outdoors playing with the family and perhaps a little less time curling up with our paper-crafting supplies, we’d like to entice you to take your scrapbooking to the picnic table with you. And we have just the ticket to get your creativity going: new products! So take a little time away from the sun to check out these fab finds. They’re sure to be the stars of your summertime scrapbooking.

Presto Patterns by Stampin’ Up!
Behold, my friends—nothing but a simple piece of white cardstock. Now, with just a spritz of trusty spray ink . . . ta da! A gorgeous, vintage design, just waiting to accent your memories. Stampin’ Up!‘s Presto Patterns Specialty Designer Series papers are a unique—and totally fun—way to add the shimmer of spray mist and the beauty of intricate designs to your scrapbook pages with very little effort. Each sheet is thermographically printed with a tone-on-tone white design, perfect for mimicking an emboss-resist look. Remember to dab away the excess ink from your design to prevent blotchy drying, and be sure to dab, not wipe, or else your ink will smear.

Love all of your ideas and products! Your company is so inspiring! I could scrapbook all day!
Thanks so much for the opportunity to win these fabulous prizes! Have been a fan of Creating Keepsakes for years – attend all the conventions in my area (Seattle and Portland). Thanks for the continued inspiration!!!!
I love the tear out ticket book! And you are so right…it’s easier to scrapbook when stuck inside during the cold winter. But this has given me some inspiration and now I want to scrapbook…being that it’s almost 100 degrees, I could say I was trapped inside due to the heat!
Supplies look cool. I like scrapping in the summer — I’m off work and the nights stay light so long! My guys and I are more night people, so we sleep in and party all night
Well, I scrap, they are usually on the computer or playing video games lol. It gets really hot here, so having an inside, a/c friendly hobby is nice.
I am a paper freak… I love it all and sadly want it all.
Now is the time we are stockpiling pictures from all the summer activities to keep us busy all winter. Lots of ideas brewing. I like to also take pictures of the signs at the parks or other places we go to make custom accents and titles for the pages I make with the pictures from that outing. Winning these fabulous new supplies would really give my inspiration a boost!
Yummy!! Love LYB!!!
love all the goodies, hoping to win
Must. Have. New. Stuff!
Always love the chance to win free goodies. Thanks!
It is so much easier to try new products when getting them doesn’t cut into your budget, and these products look like they will be fun to try.
What could be better than getting enticing summer goodies at the peak of the heat? Here in Texas, we need some sunshine right now. We’ve had days of rain from the tropical depressions. Hope rain is lucky! Thank you.
Love that tear-out ticket book from LYB! Love ALL the cool stuff coming out—it just never ends! (Thank goodness!)
Hi! As suggested, I looked up the CHA products highlighted on pp. 89-94 in the July/Aug CK issue. I love Sizzix and Tim Holtz’ Sizzix look very interesting. I am also starting to get into the birds and birdcages. I love the birdcage stamps. I have never worked with misting papers but would like to try it.
Love the papers. I’ve never tried mists, that’s a new technique I’ll have to check out. Thanks for the chance to win.
Love all the new products! Thanks for the chance!
Love the white cardstock with the Hidden design! Very cool!
