Title Troubles? Here's your answer!

Do you have ever trouble thinking up a good title for your scrapbook page?  Or what about a quote for the inside of a card?  I struggle with titles all the time and usually end up doing something lame like "Alaska" for an Alaska layout.

I was excited when I was contacted by Betsy Flot, the author of "Inspiration Station", a handy book full of over 13,700 titles and quotes for scrapbooking and card making.  She sent me a copy to review and offered another up as a signed giveaway!

The first thing I noticed when I received the book was how thorough it was.  There was a category for everything a scrapbooker could think of: seasons, holidays, sports, school, business/career, moving, animals, angels, travel (by state also!), going places, courtship to marriage, baby, birthday, hobbies, all about me, sentiments, etc.

Reading through the list gave me ideas for pages I need to make.  To see the whole list of categories, click HERE!

When I received the book, I was intrigued by it's size - 608 pages in a spiral bound 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" book.  There's a lot of information here! I loved the spiral binding which made flipping to the relevant sections quick.  The size would make it easy to pack for a crop.

The book is well organized in categories and then alphabetized sub-categories (see above). I like how simple it is to find what I need.

Here is a sample page from "Inspiration Station":

"Inspiration Station" can be purchased directly from Betsy Flot here for $29.99 with free shipping in the US and comes with a signed inscription.

Hello Kitty Scrapbooking Projects and GIVEAWAY!

Giveaway!

When I received the Hello Kitty package of goodies I showed you in THIS VIDEO, I immediately thought of my wonderfully creative and talented friend Stefani, who I know is a HUGE Hello Kitty fan. So, it made sense to see if she wanted to make a few things with the product line.  Check it all out below and be sure to enter the giveaway at the end of the post!

Hey, Y'all it's Stefani with Styles by Stefani here and I'm super stoked to be a guest designer today at Obsessed with Scrapbooking.  As soon as I saw Joy's video on the upcoming Hello Kitty line, I knew I had to have the paper pad and I knew I wanted to make a banner with it.  That was all I could think about until I actually looked through all of the products and then my juices got flowing!  This line has so many cute aspects that it made it so easy to make some unique items quickly. 

First, I'll show you the banner that I made!  Love the colors in the line.  They go so well with the Air Mail and Traveling theme, but I can see it for a birthday party, baby shower and many other party themes, too!

Next up are the projects that I made with some of the stickers, die cuts, and washi tape in the line.  I used a Cricut box to make a stationary kit (love the little paper clips).

I hope you enjoyed my projects and that you will stop by my blog at http://www.stylesbystefani.blogspot.com/ for more details about them and a chance to win some crafty goodness from my house to yours.

Didn't Stefani just make the cutest things??  I love the banner - it is so fun and clever!  And that little stationary kit is super adorable and brilliant!  She is also having a giveaway so be sure and swing by Stefani's blog at http://www.stylesbystefani.blogspot.com/ .
