Creek Bank Creations

Happy New Year!

What a fun and exciting year of growth for our company in 2009. We're making plans for 2010 with great anticipation. I always spend this time of year working on our plans for 2010, which means developing new products uniquely designed by Creek Bank Creations. I'm excited about our new plans for 2010...so stay tuned!

Do you remeber my post this summer about the storage system for cricut cartridges? This system is just so perfect for storing your cartridges. Each plastic container comes with one tray which holds 8 cartridges, books and overlays. Watch the u tube video that shows this storage in use on our website!

These containers can be stacked up to three high, and then can be easily carried using the carring strap. If you purchase 3 containers from Creek Bank Creations, we will give you the strap for FREE. (an $8.00 value)

What is exciting is that we now have the second storage option in this line, which is a bottle carrier.

The bottle carrier can be used by itself on your desk, or you can purchase it with the clear carrier. Either way it works well, as you can turn your bottles upside down if you like them that way. This bottle carrier holds stickles, and alcohol ink size bottles. The BEST feature about this product that I love is that you can easily SEE what is in the box!

Like the rest of the containers, these units match the cartridge carriers, and can be stacked on top of each other.

This is a great product, and this company is coming out with more storage inserts in the coming months!

Now some fun layouts

From Marcie Morgan

Marcie outlined the layout with some lace she had a home. It's a great way to frame a page. Our kit contains blue letters, but Marcie wanted black ones. To achieve this look simply press StazOn permanent ink onto the sticker letters. Press firmly, and apply it several times.

I love this accent that Marcie put in the corner of this layout. She mixed it by by using her edge distressor to "ruffle" the edges, and then accented the piece with punched snowflake pieces.

Each kit contains two sheets of vintage Christmas Music. Marcie divided the sheet music up and used it on this page. She accented the page with small amounts of stickles.

Marcie used the punch outs for a great page accent here. (below) Marcie accented the custom stamped chipboard piece from Creek Bank Creations with stickles!

Another layout from Marcie

Marcie altered the tag on the page above by covering up all the blue on the tag with a piece of the music note paper. Below is a close up of the title. Marcie traced the letters that came with the kit onto papers and then cut them out. WHAT A GREAT IDEA!!! (I'm stealing this idea for sure). Notice how she went back with the pen and outlined the letters?

A great card made with pieces from the kit. Notice how Marcie used the pin on the card?

I LOVE the pipecleaner tinsel. Marcie used it here by stapling it on the card.

Now some Layouts by Keely Dines...

A fun layout that tells the story of the gifts Keey's son Jackson bought for his family members. I love the detail on the layout above where Keely stitched around the inside of the circle with her sewing machine.

Keely wanted more color on the sticker letters so she accented them with ink.

This layout shows the custom die cut red piece...used with a punch out from the punch out sheet. This kit contains a sheet of 12x12 borderline CLEAR stickers. Keely used them here for a title.

Keely's Dad with the grandkids...

We are often asked about the "pins" that are so popular now. I love these little dudes! Keely has a great idea here...first she altered the chipboard by clipping the corners with the corner chomper to round the edges, then she put red ink on it. She adhered it to the page using a pop dot, and placed the pins into the pop dots. LOVE THAT!

A title block on this page is made with a punch out piece, and sticker letters. Keely outlined the letters with a black pen. Great idea!

This incredible kit is a $24.00 value, and we are offering it for only $19.99

Just an update for those reading who are new...We are normally only open in our retail storefront on Friday's from 10am-5pm.

This week we've added a class on Thrusday Night making the 25 Days of December Class (the 25 Days kit can be found here, the class can be found here). This kit has been a strong seller, so if you want a kit don't delay!

Friday we will operate our normal 10am-5pm hours. We do have room in the crop room ON FRIDAY ONLY.

Saturday we are open from 10am-11pm. The crop room is full, but we do have a few spaces left in our special Cricut Class. You can sign up for the Cricut Class here. I have personally spent hours preparing for this class. I'm excited to share with you all the wonderful things I've learned while digging into the Cricut machine. You can attend this class even if you are a beginner...we're bound to have FUN. (just check the supply list and make sure you bring the supplies on the list)

We will also be open on Black Friday. Special Deals will abound and the crop room will be open 10am-7pm.

Keep Scrapbooking!

Creek Bank Creations Own December Daily Book

We've been talking about Ali Edwards and the December Daily project she does each year. She says "December Daily is an opportunity to record the moments and events during the holiday season. " This about about taking a photo once a day and capturing the season as you go along. The objective is to record your life for the month. If you complete the book ahead of time you'll be ready to go, and then your objective will be to take a photo a day and record the highlights in writing each day. You might have some days where you don't get a photo taken, so perhaps you'll write on that day a special family memory or recipe. This is to me what scrapbooking is really about...DOCUMENTING your life in a special book just for Christmas.

Our December Daily book is made from 6"x12" chipboard pages, and contains 25 paper pages, stickers and embellishments. This kit made by Keely Dines will come with full instructions and complete photos. The kit sells for $22.00 and can be purchased online here.

We are offering a December Daily class THIS THRUSDAY November 19th at 6pm. This class will give you time to get the greatest part of the album COMPLETE and ready to go. Purchase the kit, then join us this Thrusday putting the album together. Purchase the class here

(please check the supply list that you will need to bring to class)

If you have a friend who has been wanting to get into scrapbooking, or perhaps you just want to learn more this will be a great class for you. I'm excited about this project and I'm planning on completing a book for my family!

We also have a few spots left on Saturday for our Cricut Class Life is Beach. You can read about the Life Is A Beach Class here .

Keep Scrapbooking!

I think I'm just a dream chaser...

One dream I've had for at least 6 years is to be able to share scrapbooking at The Kris Kringle Craft Show. Perhaps it's silly...but it's still a dream I've had. This year will be dream come true for us. We finally have been accepted into this juried show. We've been accepted...and I've promised to help spread the word to scrapbookers in our region about this show. This show has been around for a LONG time, and it covers The assembly hall basketball court (where you'll find us booth 160), and all the outer rings of the building. I was amazed tonight at the great selection of QUALITY products that were being set up. Here are some photos I took tonight...

These are the cutest oil candles EVER!! This couple was from Iowa!

I am bringing this HOME with me! This hand sewn piece is ONLY $9.50!!

This picture is bad...doesn't do this piece justice. This is made by Marilyn Courson. The photo is bad because I was trying to get the photo..and not get in her booth...which really was impossible..so I walked into her booth..which made me nervous...(sorry Marilyn). I wanted to let you all know Marilyn has finished scrapbook products that she and her daughter Amy have been working on all year. They have the cutest mini books, and such. The prices looked good, so if you need a FAST handmade gift...Marilyn and Amy have it. (they are on the basketball court as well)

I hope you'll show up in good numbers....so we can show the craft world we are crafters and we want to be apart of what they are doing!!!!! :)

Kris Kringle Craft Show

Assembly Hall, Champaign Illinois

Friday 3-9

Saturday 9-5

Hope to see you there!
