It’s summertime, and the scrapbooking products are hot! You can see a sampling of what’s currently warming up the craft shelves in my Latest & Greatest column, found in our July/August 2012 issue of Creating Keepsakes magazine. As an added treat, here are some more goodies that are sure to turn up your creative heat.
Birthday & Princess Stickers
Celebrating any birthdays this summer? Or maybe you’re going to spend your time scrapbooking about a special little princess in your life? Either way, you’ll want to check out these stickers from SRM Stickers, which would look great stuck on your next layout or a happy birthday greeting.
4th of July Collection
Show your patriotic side with this new line by Echo Park Paper. It’s their 4th of July collection, but that doesn’t mean you have to limit its use to Independence Day designs. Put the plaid paper on a layout about a favorite fella, or try the stars pattern on a scrapbook page about a sweet little guy in your life.
Dads & Baseball
Karen Foster Design‘s World’s Greatest Dad and Batter Up collections are two nice options to consider when showing dad you care, whether you’re creating a layout about him or sending him a handmade card.

In addition to winning all of the items shown above, we’re also awarding a few of the products featured in my July/August Latest & Greatest column, including the following:
