  Summer Liberation
Jennie Stagliano, Editor


I love the liberating feeling I experience this time every year. There's something wonderful to be said about the relaxed pace life takes, the feeling of the warm sun on your skin, and the sights and smells of brilliant flowers gracing our flower beds. I get almost as giddy as my three kids at the end of the school year. I'm just as giddy to be able to deliver these creative summertime projects from some of the most talented craft designers across this great country.

Jamie shows you how to create a unique album featuring vacation photos. Laurie has a great idea for kids on how to turn ordinary drink Koozies into something fun. And Club Scrap® Founder, Tricia Morris, shares her "Bright Ideas" video incorporating scrapbook techniques into creative night light shades. Be sure to watch her video and purchase your complete night light kit.

Happy Independence Day...especially to our service men and women and their families who keep the home going in their absence. Happy Summer everyone!

  Unique Summertime Album
Jamie Tharpe, Designer
 

Photo albums are starting to take interesting forms. No longer just hardcover books with transparent sleeves for pages and photos, scrapbookers are turning all kinds of items into nifty memory keepers.

See how Jamie Tharpe turned an ordinary business card holder into a unique, compact photo album. This project is so fast and easy you'll be done and back outside in time for the family barbeque.


 
  Committ To Color  
 

When it comes to re-painting your walls, do you find it difficult choosing a color? Have you ever purchased paint only to experience disappointment after getting it on your walls? If you answered yes to either question, this tip using Removable Glue Dots® will help make the color decision process a lot easier.

Secure several shades of various paint chip colors to your walls using Removable Glue Dots. Place similar colors in different locations throughout your room, i.e. near a window and in a dark corner. Leave the paint chips on your walls for several days, noting the color differences at various times of the day. Using this process you'll get a better sense of how the color will play out in your room before you make your purchase.

Important: Slowly and carefully lift the paint chips from your wall so you don't remove the existing paint. Removable Glue Dots are available on rolls and sheets and available at Office Depot, Walgreens and in craft stores nationwide.


 
  Truly Transparent Vellum Glue Dots®  
 

Vellum Glue Dots are a truly transparent adhesive for bonding vellum, transparencies, skeleton leaves, and glass and acrylic embellishments. Locate your nearest retailer selling Vellum Glue Dots and see why it was voted as a finalist in the Best New Products of '06 in the Creating Keepsakes Readers Choice Awards.


 
  Kool Summertime Koozies
Laurie D’Ambrosio, Designer
 

What's a family cookout without creative Koozies to keep your drinks cold? Kids will love creating these personalized Koozies as part of summertime fun. And Glue Dots® Brand Adhesives are one of the few adhesives that work on the foam materials required for this kid's craft project.
