Introducing Scrapbooking Tips & Tricks: STT Fabulous Flowers

2011-04-14T21:43:00Z

Hello Club CK Peeps!

I'm beyond excited to announce our new Scrapbooking Tips & Tricks issue is dedicated to fabulous flowers--it's definitely got me in the mood for scrapbooking spring!

In the pages of this totally fab issue, we talk about a lot of different types of flower products that can make your layouts feel like a garden in bloom. Today, I'm going to share just a few more awesome flower products that you're going to love to use on your layouts . . . And give you a chance to win not only these new product picks, but the ones featured in Scrapbooking Tips & Tricks as well.

Jaybird Street Fabric Flowers

Bazzill Basics Paper

A photo simply can't do these fluffy blooms justice. Each of the sassy, fabric flowers from Bazzill Basics new Jaybird Street Collection is simply bursting from the packaging! They're almost too fabulous to put behind a page protector (almost). Avoid restraining their bounciness by adhering them to the cover of your next mini album. I dare you to try and stop touching them.

Notions

Studio Calico

Filled with vintage style, the oh-so-chic dress pattern Notions flowers from Studio Calico are just the thing to bring bring a touch of style to your layouts. Keep them intact and cluster them on your page for a gorgeous, trendy garden or pull one apart for a sewing-inspired tissue paper border. You'll love the possibilities!

Blooms a Bella

Bella Blvd

Simple style is the name of the game with Bella Blvd's Blooms a Bella. Each cotton flower is comprised of six two-tone colored layers, making it ultra luxurious. Whether you use then entire flower on your layout, or pull it apart to stretch it's layers across multiple projects, you'll adore these pretty flowers.
