Order the double-page layout monthly subscription and get a free digital papercrafting baby announcements card kit designed by KJD! That's a $9.99 value...free!

Moments That Matter is a one year subscription, customized to your baby, that allows mom to quickly and easily complete an entire scrapbook of baby's first year, in just a few minutes each month.

What does the stork bring you each month?

Each month's kits come with all of the parts and pieces you need to create two full layouts, including instructions, kit list, layout sketch, journaling tips, inspirational quotes and a look ahead to the next month...so you can begin to consider the pictures and journaling you want in your next month's layout. This makes the kit perfect for long-time scrapbookers, scrapbookers who are very busy (who isn't!) and new scrapbookers, too!

And We Only Use The Best!

The kits are packed with products from companies such as: Melissa Frances, Coredinations, Bazzill, Heidi Grace, Foof-A-La, KI Memories, K & Company, American traditional Design, and The Scrap Shack...just to name a few!

Here is how the process works:
1. You purchase a subscription and tell us when "Baby" is due.
2. We send a postcard to the Mom-to-Be, to let her know about the kits that will arrive at her door.
3. When Mom-to-Be becomes "New Mommy", she alerts us to the birth of her new baby...and we all celebrate!
4. The day we receive the notice of her baby's birth, we send out Mom's first two layouts...the Introduction Page and the "Welcome Bundle of Joy" double-page layout.
5. When baby turns one month old, we send Mom a "One Month Old" milestone double-page layout and a "Meet The Family" double-page layout. And so it goes...with themes such as "Busy As A Bee", "Personality In Bloom" and "Baby Parts"...throughout the entire first year!

And at the end of Baby's First Year, you will have completed 24 double-page layouts and two single page layouts...that's 26 total layouts!

Adopting a precious little one? If you are planning to adopt a newborn baby, let us know...we've designed special adoption pages to celebrate the newest addition to your family.

Are you a Grandma? If you have just become a Grandma...congratulations! And we've designed special pages throughout the year that allow you to record every visit and all that spoilin'.

Has your baby already arrived? If your sweet little one is already here, we will speed up your delivery...so you can catch up with your baby's current birthday. Ex.: If baby is 3 months old, we can ship the first three months of your subscription now, then begin to ship monthly to match your baby's monthly milestones.

Become Part of the MTM Club

After you purchase your MTM Kit Subscription, you'll receive deep discounts on our special baby albums, and the ability to add pages to your monthly delivery...pages such as "Baptism", "Christening", and many more!

Traditional Products for Hybrid Scrappers - From CHA

2008-02-13T16:09:01-08:00

Just back from CHA...we've been giving you our thoughts on traditional scrapbook supplies on our Scrapbook For You blog...now let's talk Hybrid trends:

Specifically, we want to look at new traditional products that will rock the hybrid world.

The coolest products we saw for hybrid scrapbookers are plastic and acetate shapes (overlays). You may be thinking, "Overlays are old, not new."

Here's our take: larger (such as 12x12 or 4x6) acetate overlays have been used and are not new...but what we noticed at CHA was that a lot more companies are printing designs onto smaller overlays, to be cut out and adhered to projects...this has BIG potential and will compliment digital layouts. Heidi Swapp calls them "Ghost Shapes" and she is selling them in lots of different sizes (pic on left).

These acetate overlays can be painted, glitter-ized, flocked or foiled...like rub-ons, we think these shapes will enhance your digital layouts perfectly!

In this same vein, we liked the various thin plastic shapes we saw, especially from Prima Marketing, Inc. Prima calls these embellishments "Clearly Fun Shapes" They show up in the catalog as black shapes, but they are actually clear little plastic shapes...and they come with pre-cut holes, so you can use brads, thread, ribbon or anything else you might want, to adhere them to your pages. Hybrid Scrapbookers will love to use them to highlight a special part of their pages and add texture to their designs.

We've got lots more to say about trends...and especially about Prima...so stay tuned!

Our first introduction is the kit called Pile Weave...named for it's plush, soft look. It's perfect for black and white photos.

I created an easy but elegant one-page layout called "One More I Love You" ...and I am sure you will love this kit. The embellishments have an especially elegant look to them.

And with 13 papers in the Paper Pack and 39 doodads in the Embellishment Pack...there is so much to love about this kit.

Introduction to Our Newest Designer - Cara B

2008-01-29T15:16:12-08:00

Meet our first digital designer and her newest kit -- Cara B.

Cara is a longtime crafter, "I have been creating special cards and gifts for my family and friends for over 40 years, selling my pieces since 1981. I like to create lively, fun designs, matching to the person's unique personality."

And lively is the perfect way to describe her new kits called - Citrus.

I've created this layout using the citrus pack and pictures of my son when he was a baby. The layout is called "Serious About Play".

Here is what Cara says about the pack:

"Let me tell you about citrus pack. I love the color, smell, feel, and taste of citrus fruits. Lately they have been the hot new colors. And no wonder! Oranges, limes, and lemons are year round favorites! Oranges were an old-time favorite gift in the winter of "yon." Nowadays we drink orange juice year round. Lemons and limes evoke memories of past good times, and lemons and limes enhance our meals. Thus, I wanted to create a fun pack with all this in mind.

Citrus papers include a couple of page curls, and lots of swirls and dots and color and fun - 25 papers in all! Buy it Here

Citrus embellishments - frame, tags, brads, ric-racs, ribbon, loop trim, sayings, chipboard flowers, and fun clips! - 41 files in total. Buy It Here

Next month I'll be adding lots of heart themed papers and embellishments.

I hope you will enjoy using these scrapbooking pages and pieces as much as I had fun creating them."
