Selling A Bunch Of Idea Books

After years and years of collecting scrapbook idea books, it's time for some of them to go. I have at least 50, enough to fill a large basket under my work table and four magazine holders. I have spent hundreds of dollars on these books so I could keep up with all the latest trends and techniques. Some of these books are just like new. These days, I find that I don't need all that many books. My own style is well developed and I'm able to modify it to suit the needs of my clients. Long ago, I stopped copying layouts ("scraplifting") and started using these books as a springboard for my own creativity. So now, I'm ready to auction these books in the hopes of giving someone else a springboard and recouping some of my investment. My auctions will be listed on ebay under 'timandcorie'. So come on over and check them out. Happy creating!

Recent Projects From the CPC Studio

I'll be the first to admit that making premade albums is not my favorite thing. Since photos are always the inspiration for the colors and patterns I choose, it's really hard for me to get inspired without them. However, recently, I created two premade 8X8 albums and I was really please with the way they turned out. These albums each have 20 pages and are priced at $180. Each page layout is designed to hold 2-4 photos. Here are a few of the pages. If you would like to see more of our work, please visit www.creativepagesandcards.com
