One of the newer features on our site is the ability to create groups. You can create a group of your own, for your local crop group, or just a few friends you like to crop with. Decide if you want your group to be open to everyone, or private. Each group gets it’s own forum to chat in, and share ideas and thoughts.

We’ve had some of the fab Cropper Hopper storage arrive instore, and some of it will be headed home with me I think! The Value packs are great value, and I’m planning on using the sticker storage envelopes for my scraps so I can sort them based on colour. We’ve also got the Black Flat Pack which is perfect for throwing all your core tools in to take to crops etc or to keep them on your desk.
Post your scrapbooking storage idea/solution in the comments and we’ll send out a prize to the best,

We’ve just had our latest American Crafts delivery arrive and it’s full of fantastic albums. There’s a great selection of colours, and being able to use any size of page protector is a great advantage.
I’m in the process of reorganising my scraproom, and my albums need a bit of a sort through as well. I’ve been reading Stacy Julians latest book, Photo Freedom and these albums are going to be my next purchases to organise all my layouts.
I’ve gone through my old albums looking at the layouts to see WHAT i actually scrap, what themes, people, topics etc, and I ‘m going to use the following albums:
Then I just need to take all the layouts out of all my other albums, and put them all back in!

I’ve had a Cricut machine for a couple of years or so now, and i’ve always loved it. I tend to just use it to cut letters in a couple of my favourite fonts, but now the whole world has opened up! I’ve bought the Sure Cuts a Lot software by CraftEdge.
I use it on my Mac, but you do need a PC to upgrade the firmware on the Cricut machine which is a bit of a pain for all us Mac Addicts. The latest version allows you to weld letters and words together and it’s so easy to use your fonts you already have.
You can also create any kind of artwork as a SVG file for cutting. I’ve got a few standard ones already such as scallops which are just so versatile, and I love that I can just scale them to any size. We’ll be offering these files as downloads on the website over the next few weeks.
Has anyone else tried this? Let us know what you think of it…

We loved the latest Crate paper when it arrived in the shop, the texture and quality of the papers is just gorgeous, so we ordered in more! Now in store we’ve got the Samantha, Baby Bee and Brunch collections.

Supplies:
A simple and quick layout highlighting a special photo. This would be equally as effective with pink cardstock for a baby girl.
Trim the black cardstock to create a white border to frame the page. I trimmed the panoramic photo to extend beyond the black layer but not the white border, but you may prefer it to be the same width as the black cardstock. Use the letter stickers to create your title, and the cricut to cut the “Baby Boy” I used Jasmine Italic at 2.5inches. That’s all, a strking layout in a matter of minutes.
We’d love to see your versions of this layout, post a link to yours in the comments below.
