February Book of Me

Woo Hoo! The February Book of Me layouts have been sent out! Of course I had to do a pink and red theme for February, but I avoided making any specific Valentine's Day references just in case there was something more important last month for you to scarp about. The little Heart embellishments, stamped with the Simply Said stamp set, as well as the heart-shaped chipboard piece can be easily removed and replaced by journaling or embellishments that draw attention away from Valentine's day.

The kit will arrive with a couple of pieces of uncut real red and regal rose card stock, so that you can trim the card stock to the size of the pictures you are going to use (A good rule of thumb is to make the mat 1/4" larger in each direction than your photo). The packet will also include chipboard, ribbon and brads to help you embellish your layout. This layout is obviously just a suggestion and you should feel free to modify it as you see fit!

You may, for example, prefer to scrap in the landscape format, in which case your layout may look something like this. Or you might want to use larger or smaller pictures, or fewer or more pictures. Or no pictures. It's all really up to you!

You can join the book of me club at any time, but each month's layouts will only be available for 45 days after the end of that month (so the last day to order February 2008 packets will be April 14). Also, for those who join after the end of the month they want to purchase, the price for the previous month will be $15 per packet, instead of the $10 per packet price for members who pay before the end of the month (all shipping and tax included in the price). So you do get a 33% discount for joining and paying early. And while I would love for all members to complete the entire year, there is no penalty for skipping a month (except for the extra fee you'd have to pay if you changed your mind and wanted to purchase a previous month's packet).
