Gone are the days of taking a photo of your subject and crossing your fingers that, when you get it developed, it'll be a good one! Digital photography has made taking pictures so easy that most of us have hundreds of photos--even some of the same moment--that are scrap-worthy. Now remember, you don't have to scrap every single one of them. but if you want to, go for it! Be sure to watch me on

With so many holidays and special occasions throughout the year, it can be easy to forget about the importance of everyday life--the things that make us tick, the ordinary events of each day, the small milestones our children reach. These seemingly insignificant details are what make us who we are. This is the stuff of life. Check out the QVC show Friday, May 2, from 9-11 a.m. (ET) and 6 p.m. (

Have you ever wished you had a product that was so fresh and new, only you had it? Well, guess what--you do! It's easy to get in a rut when it comes to using your supplies, but with a little thinking outside the box, you can come up with ways to use your existing products in totally unique ways.

Have you ever finished a layout and sat back and thought, "Hmmm, it just needs a little something"? That's why "details" are so important--sometimes just a few small brads or a carefully placed eyelet makes all the difference on a scrapbook page.

I've had a lot of people tell me that they would love to attend Creating Keepsakes University (CKU) but it isn't close enough to home for them or they just can't get away. So, guess what? You can now experience 3 of the all-time most popular CKU classes for yourself. It was so fun to get together with these ladies and film these classes. We even filmed some of it in my living room!

I'm so excited to share my new book with you--just fresh off the press and available for preorder. (Go here for more details.) It will be shipped the first part of May. I LOVE this book and am excited to tell you why. Here's a little background. My oldest child turned 17 last December. Wow--I can't believe how fast the time has gone.

I think I've mentioned before that Monday nights at my house are Family Home Evening. This is a time where our family regroups and spends quality time together. We always go over the weekly calendar, have a spiritual thought and eat a yummy dessert. Sometimes we go bowling or to a movie. This past Monday night, neither Steve or I felt like cooking. So, I hauled everyone to Kohler's (our

Before I tell you about Kade's student body president outcome (see the post two below), I want to tell you about an experience we had when Kade was eight years old (this was in 1999). He was a brand new boy scout and the Pinewood Derby was right around the corner. For those of you who've never had a boy scout, the Pinewood Derby is an annual event where the boy scouts race hand-made cars against

I am so excited about the April Kit of the Month. It's called "Details Enclosed" and it's all about writing down and storing the most important things in life. (Perfect for memorabilia, CDs, journaling, etc.) It's one of the most unique kits I've ever seen. Here is a little video that showcases the kit of the month: I also wanted to share with you some of the ways other scrapbookers have used
