On the Coast + Calendar Page

It has been a busy month! We have been having so much fun with projects, giveaways, and guests. Now it is time to catch up on some traditions we started. First, it is time to formally introduce our latest collection, On the Coast. It is now available to purchase on-line!



Take a trip to the coast with this mix of calming and bright patterns. Walk along the beach and watch the glittering sand reveal sand dollars and starfish or cut through the lively tropical foliage. Feel a soft breeze while a glimmering school of fish dives in the great ocean waves. It's what summer fun and relaxing is all about! Our On the Coast scrapbooking collection will bring the wonderful feelings of summer into all your scrapbook layouts and paper crafting projects.

Here's another tradition we started. We have designed a scrapbook layout for each month this year and a coordinating calendar page.

On the 12th Day of Christmas SEI gave to you 12 scrapbook layouts & calendar pages. Don't forget to take lot's of pictures this Christmas and throughout the year! If you are like me, it is hard to keep up on your scrapbooking. So, just take it one page at a time.

To help you accomplish this, each month (on or before the 12th) we will post a FREE monthly calendar download and a single-page scrapbook layout. Simply create the layout, print off the calendar page & slip them into a sheet protector. Then you will have a calendar to display with your own photos. Plus, next December you will have twelve great layouts completed to represent the year!





To make it even easier for you, we will have all the items you need to create the layout listed with a link to the items on our website. Now that you have a plan to stay caught-up, all you need to do is check the blog each month & take lot's of pictures!

Resolve to Preserve Your Memories!

This year I have high expectations for my resolutions. In addition to scheduling time to straighten-up the house each day I have also scheduled a time for seven different areas I am working on. I plan to spend one hour on a different area each day of the week.

The trickiest area is my family history. I want to have a written & visual history of my family. Right now this seems overwhelming to me since I am already behind. But I found a great solution to this problem... sei’s calendar!

With this calendar you can just start wherever you are in the new year and about go back later. You can hang your calendar in the kitchen or anywhere you will see it often and write in important things as they happen. No worrying trying to remember them later. There are also stickers to mark special occasions or things to remember, along with journaling stickers (great for a written record). The calendar already has 12 patterned pages (one for each month) with places for photos. It even includes basic instructions if you want to dress up each page with the coordinating stickers (great for a visual record). At the end of the year, you will have a completed album and a record of the year! The 12x12 pages fit perfectly into our preservation series album.

I gave my sister-in-law one of the calendars for Christmas a few years ago and she loved it. She has done one every year since and now has a great family history. So give it a try! There is no better time than the present, right? (that's why it's called the present!)
