In HELEN’S January 22nd e-newsletter that has just been sent out it talks about the Craft Hobby Association Winter 2010 Convention & Trade Show that Helen will be attending.

I’m interested in seeing what dog-themed scrapbooking items Helen finds while out in Anaheim.  She will be making updates to HELEN’S facebook fan page during her visit.

If you are new to my blog, please let me paws and share with you that I’m Cuddy, the Mascot for HELEN’S and Main Blogger.  We have found when it comes to blogging that with the computer keyboard I am all paws so Helen helps me!

HELEN’S focus is on helping you get your albums completed with your stories told.  She is always stressing journaling (in your own handwriting or printing out from your computer and including on your pages, the whole topic of journaling we’ll save for another day!) 

There are many things a new scrapbooker (or seasoned cropper) can do to help keep their costs down and help them be good stewards with their money.  One of these areas is in the topic of basic (non-digital) scrapbooking tools. 

In addition to acquiring your own collection please know that a set of these tools listed below (that we just unboxed) have been added to the studio set of tools kept on hand for studio usage and their use is included as part of your studio experience.

Deja’ Views View-Lers* rulers by C-Thru
 These unique border rulers come in several patterns and each measure 12” x 1.5”. 

Deja View View-LERS at HELEN'S

Deja View Journaling templates at HELEN'S

These tools for creative photo-archiving and scrapbooking are very portable and help you not worry about journaling on a straight line, you can make them curvy if you want! Have Fun! Again, the purpose is to encourage and help you jot down remarks and warm memories to go along with your photos.

They are great tools for laying out, cropping and decorating your treasured photographs to create memorable, hand crafted albums.
Journaling #1 (PA-345)
Journaling #2 (PA-350)

Link to C Thru Ruler select Deja View, and click on DV Templates, scroll down and see two journaling templates.

Fiskars Edgers
With Fiskars think quality decorative scrapbooking scissors.  What Helen likes about these photographed at her scrapbooking studio today is how these fit nicely in your hands and if you are of a certain age your hands know how nice it is to use tools that don’t cause them to ache, something some of us didn’t have to think about when younger!

Photo taken today of Fiskar Edgers at HELEN'S

Fiskars shown in photo (left to right):
soft eggplant color Arabian Paper Edger (9177)
soft purple color Majestic Paper edger (9216)
soft mustard color Scallop Paper edger (9201)

soft lilac (almost periwinkle) color Clouds Paper edger (9214)

Each of these items will get added to HELEN’S on-line store.

In conclusion, whether you are new to scrapbooking or a seasoned scrapper you can have fun using some simple, portable, quick & efficient tools to use for your scrapbooking passion without breaking the bank!   

In our next blog we will continue unboxing the new arrivals at the studio that we want to share with each of you. 

Until next time,
