A farewell blog hop for the American Crafts 2011-2012 scrapbooking team
Today I officially say farewell to the American Crafts design team, as my term has ended and the new team will spring into action. It’s been such a pleasure to work with these talented ladies and some of my very favourite products on the market. (Hello? I cannot possibly scrapbook without Thickers. You know this.) You can see a variety of projects I’ve created for American Crafts over the past year in these posts.
If you’ve just hopped over from Amy Heller’s blog, then welcome! You can find further details about the full hop on the American Crafts blog. For my stop on the hop, I wanted to show you my notebook I’m keeping for Learn Something New, a little project I work on every September. This year I’m really focused on using materials I have and really should use for this project. The sorts of things we buy because we love them, but we don’t get them onto a project straight away so they can sit for quite a while until we forget about them. So an Amy Tangerine daybook is part of that for me. I have one of each daybook Amy has designed. I have used… two. One for a travel mini and one for a personal collection of tickets, notes and daily ephemera. That still leaves me several that need a purpose in life! So I grabbed this one and dressed it up just a bit so it can be my place for thinking on paper for the next thirty days. (And no, it wasn’t complete without washi tape and Thickers. Obviously.)
I’m not actually using it as a completed minibook for my album. Instead, it’s a bit of a playground for thoughts. It will go everywhere with me for the next thirty days. I’ll use it to answer daily questions from the Learn Something New prompts and to work my way from the goings on of each day to some perfect bit of learning I can take away from that day. Those thirty lessons will be recorded separately somewhere just a bit more dressy. But this is the perfect place to have no fear of making mistakes, crossing things out and thinking things through. That two part process is so very good for my soul. (Definitely worth trying some time if you’re not usually a journal-keeper. These books make it possible to keep a journal for just a short time rather than getting intimidating by something big and formal!)
Your next stop on the blog hop is Paige Evans, our fearless leader! She’s the hostess at the AC blog and keeps us all in check, which is not always easy with lots of creative people! She kept everything running smoothly this summer even though she delivered a brand new baby in the middle of it! So much appreciation goes to Paige, I tell you. Visit her and hop along to say hello to all the team members in this day of farewell.
AND HOW ABOUT A PRIZE? Leave a comment on this post and one randomly selected commenter will win an American Crafts prize pack. Entries close at the end of next Thursday, and the winner will be posted Friday.

Love AC! thanks for the chance to win a prize.
Just settling in to blog hop then go to Learn something new.* from a fellow Thickers hoarder*
1 September 2012, 10:21
What a lovely little notebook! I’m thinking of going with a small watercolour journal for this year’s LSNED…
1 September 2012, 10:22
gorgeous notebook!! congrats:)
1 September 2012, 10:22
I do love American Crafts! So many great products, and there aren’t many of my pages that don’t have Thickers on them, either. Thanks for the chance to win!
1 September 2012, 10:23
The mini was a great project in the last year. I love it! I’m interesting in your new projects for the next year!
1 September 2012, 10:23
Hmmmm, is there any project that is complete without washi and thickers?? Love both of those items!!
Your albums are super cute! Good for you for using up your purchases!!
1 September 2012, 10:23
Love your posts Shimelle. Cute little book!
1 September 2012, 10:26
Love AC crafts! I love the pretty dear Lizzie papers, Fun Amy Tan stickers. Thickers and washi tape. Beautiful journal, Shimelle
1 September 2012, 10:28
That’s a really good idea, I’ve always put off getting any of the day books because i’m not really into mini books, but thinking of it as a mini journal makes me want to get one.
1 September 2012, 10:28
Yes, Thickers! I used to use flat alphas for titles until I discovered Thickers and now a page just doesn’t seem right without them. Love the look of your little notebook.
1 September 2012, 10:29
Cute project, congrats on a nice design team run.
1 September 2012, 10:32
Great project. Thanks for the chance to win – I love AC products.

1 September 2012, 11:00
Shimelle, your blog is one I check very regularly and I love it. I have joined lsn this year and am looking so forward to it.

1 September 2012, 11:40
I have used up all the daybooks i purchased! I’m so going to create my own daybook from my own AT stash for the LSNED class :D THANKS for the giveaway Shimelle :)
P.s. Love all your works for American Crafts and others!
1 September 2012, 11:41
The daybook is a great idea! You have inspired me to use more thickers this year, thank you for the opportunity to win something from AC.
1 September 2012, 11:41
Though I normally use my die-cut machine for titles, you’ve got me buying Thickers. What an ambassador for AC! Thanks for the inspiration.
1 September 2012, 11:41
Love your work! MMM I also have an unused daybook lying around, maybe I should get my scrapcap on!
1 September 2012, 11:42
Congrats on a job well done!
1 September 2012, 11:46
I have enjoyed your AC work very much. And I agree about Thickers. My inventory is growing too but somehow, there always other packs for sale that are the “perfect” color, size, font…you get the idea!
1 September 2012, 11:50
I think we all heart Thickers. :)
1 September 2012, 11:51
Your AC DT work has been fab. I’ve really enjoyed seeing it and of course Washi and Thickers are always a must:-)
1 September 2012, 11:58
Thanks so much for your inspiration and for the chance at your prize!
1 September 2012, 11:58
Your “sneak peeks” make me wanna run to my scrap corner and make something. It’s glitter alphas probably=)

So sorry to see you go, loved the AC work you did
Thanks for the chance to win
1 September 2012, 12:02

This is a happy day! First day of class!
1 September 2012, 12:08

1 September 2012, 12:13
Love the Daybook you’ll be using this month. Hope you’ll be showing some sneaks on your blog. Bye Irene
1 September 2012, 12:16
Thanks Shimelle for posting your video about scrapbooking everyday. It was very inspirational. I hope you keep it up on your site so we can return to it when we need that little reminder on what’s really important about our beloved hobby or when we feel overwhelmed by all we THINK there is “to do” when we’ve been away from our scrapbooking for a while.
1 September 2012, 12:24
Love the idea of using a day book for notes! I think I’ll pull out the one I have for my Learn Something New journal!
1 September 2012, 12:34
We’ll miss seeing your AC DT work! No doubt we’ll continue seeing your wonderful designs elsewhere. Thanks, Shimelle!
1 September 2012, 12:37
Such a cute notebooks!
1 September 2012, 12:40

1 September 2012, 12:52

1 September 2012, 13:01

I am not sure that it is possible to make a project without thickers and washi tape!!!!
1 September 2012, 14:55
Thanks for the inspiration…I can’t wait to make my own mini book :)
1 September 2012, 14:56
Loved all your American Crafts projects.

Loved your AC work, but then I’m a fan in general ;) x
1 September 2012, 15:08
I enjoyed all the inspiration this past year!
1 September 2012, 15:09
I’ve been eyeing those daybooks for a while, love how you are using them!
1 September 2012, 15:12
Thanks for the chance to win and for sharing so many wonderful projects.
1 September 2012, 15:15
Always love your layouts! Can’t wait to see what’s next for you!
1 September 2012, 15:17
How did I miss these projects? They are fabulous! Really love your style.
1 September 2012, 15:25
No, we can’t do without our Thickers! They were lucky to have you on their team.
1 September 2012, 15:35
I’ve loved all that you shared this year! Thanks so much for all the inspiration!
1 September 2012, 15:48
I do love AC products. Can’t wait to get my hands on the new collections.
1 September 2012, 15:48
AC will not be the same without you. Such great work and inspiration. Thanks!
1 September 2012, 15:57
Your work is awesome! I really love how Thickers have to touch every thing u do!
Thx
1 September 2012, 16:21
Sad you’re done – I love Thickers too! Thanks for all of your constant inspiration :)
1 September 2012, 16:34
I have enjoyed your work!!! no one uses thickers like you do!
1 September 2012, 16:45
sigh I collect those Daybooks, too and never use them. Thank you for the great idea!
1 September 2012, 16:47
So sad you are no longer going to be designing for AC. You’re an inspiration!
1 September 2012, 16:48
_ I’m loving the blog hop! And that’s such a cute little book. I know what you mean about the bits you buy and have lying around. I have several sets of stickers that are ‘waiting for the right project’, and have been for two years or more..
1 September 2012, 16:51
On to pastures new1 you’ve certainly reignited my interest on AC whilst I’ve been visiting you.
** Kate **
1 September 2012, 16:58
Good luck on all of your upcoming adventures, Shimelle! _
1 September 2012, 17:20

Great project…thanks for the chance to win some AC goodies!

1 September 2012, 17:25
Love your project, thanks for a chance to win :)
1 September 2012, 17:27
I love Thickers too! Your day book is beautiful, as always.
1 September 2012, 17:27
loved seeing all your projects!
1 September 2012, 17:39
gorgeous notebooks. I think I need one for a special trip in October!
1 September 2012, 17:46
Lovely! Now you’ve made me second guess how I’ll do the project!
1 September 2012, 18:22
What a pretty journal! Your class is going to be great! Thanks for the chance to win some AC goodness!
1 September 2012, 18:35
I love all your inspiration! Also it seems like I can’t complete a page without thickers—thanks for the chance to win!
1 September 2012, 18:39
What a great idea! I love those little daybooks, but haven’t been able to find a real useful project for them. Using one as a limited time journal works perfectly.
1 September 2012, 18:43
I love American crafts too – thickers are a must have for me.
1 September 2012, 18:46
My desire for more and more Thickers could probably be called an addiction….but I do use them!
1 September 2012, 19:02
I’ve loved your projects using AC product and all the other cool stuff you do too.
1 September 2012, 19:17
I think your work is amazing…. I did “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Scrapbooking” and I loved it!!!! And I always watch “The Adventures of Glitter Girl”…. thank you for sharing your knowledge!
1 September 2012, 19:21
Cute notebook. I love your work and all the inspiration you provide!
1 September 2012, 19:55
Sorry to see this DT leaving! I’ve enjoyed looking at everybody’s projects. Thanks for the chance to win some fun stuff.
1 September 2012, 20:20
I have loved all your American Craft projects and your daybooks are great too!
1 September 2012, 20:41
I like how you decorated these notebooks.

1 September 2012, 20:48
I can’t wait to see what’s in store for you next!!
1 September 2012, 20:52
I love your work and I love, love LOVE Thickers. The new Dear Lizzy mini alphas are super cute and work well for smaller projects such as notebooks and the like. I’m super excited about combining JYC with Project Life this year and how cute would the Thickers look with AC glitter tape. LOVE!
1 September 2012, 21:13
Beautiful little book – I love notebooks, too! Thanks for your inspiration and work for American Crafts.
1 September 2012, 21:14
Awww…. sad to see you leave AC design team … thanks for the chance at a win, tho… Love thickers too!
1 September 2012, 21:49
Thanks for a fun year of inspiration and thanks for the chance to win.
1 September 2012, 21:57
I am so totally addicted to Thickers myself (hmm… thanks for that Shimelle LOL). I also love the Amy Tangerine line. Love your day book. I decorated my notebook for LSNED this afternoon.
1 September 2012, 22:01
I am loving getting out my on hand applies for my LSNED book too
1 September 2012, 22:03
Great notebook, I adore it!
1 September 2012, 22:04
I can’t belive you won’t be on the team anymore Shimelle, but you’ve done some FANTASTIC work for them!!
1 September 2012, 22:04
Love your little journals!
1 September 2012, 22:10
Thickers hoarders unite! You’ve done amazing work with AC, they were lucky to have you :)
1 September 2012, 22:12
So sorry to see you leave the design team, but looking forward to seeing your future creative endeavors.
1 September 2012, 22:33
thanks for all your inspiration though out the year…. I am a follower so you will not be gone from me for too long i hope :)
1 September 2012, 22:37
You are such a dynamo Shimelle!! We are so appreciative of your contribution this year! You bring all products to such a cuteness factor! Even the notebooks are little treasures!!
1 September 2012, 22:50
Awwwww thanks for your sweet and kind words Shimelle – I seriously almost cried :) You are a fabulous and talented lady and I look forward to seeing everything you do!
1 September 2012, 23:07
All your layouts are so beautiful! Love your blog!
1 September 2012, 23:14
Great to see another AT daybook in use, I have a couple and I am working out what to do with their adorableness so that it isnt just stash being wasted. way too cute for that!
1 September 2012, 23:39
Love the ‘playground for thoughts’ book idea. I NEED one of those, always have way too many projects in my mind at once and find it hard to focus on one and still remember the details of the next.
See you around again soon!
1 September 2012, 23:47
Shimelle, I am so going to miss seeing your designs on AC blog! I love all your videos. I have learned so much about layout designs through your well-thought out videos. Thanks you for all your wonderful tips!

Just been and looked at your scraproom tour. I definitely have Thickers Envy.
Hope you get moved okay and can set up your new scrap space quickly.
2 September 2012, 09:43
Oh thanks for the reminder about the Amy Tangerine daybooks. I have used one for a mini album of a short break in New Zealand and another for a long weekend in Penang. I need something for LSNED so that might use up the last empty one.
2 September 2012, 09:51
You were such a great fit for AC – you will be missed – but I’ve just signed up for LSNED so I will still get my Shim fix :)
2 September 2012, 09:58
thanks for the chance to win! love anything “AC”.
2 September 2012, 10:04
Just image scrapbooking without Thickers, shock horror. Must decorate my note book for class.
2 September 2012, 10:04
Your work is amazing!!! Thanks for the chance to win!

Bello il notes! Anche io adoro America Craft e non posso fare a meno dei THickers ;)

2 September 2012, 11:58
American crafts clearly is my favorite brand, hope we’ll still see a lot of your AC layouts!
2 September 2012, 12:01
Hi Shimelle, are you going to be part of another DT this year ? or is it too much work ?
How are you facing the nearly post Games time now ? I feel sad, it went by so quickly… luckily I have tickets for wednesday : swimming
2 September 2012, 12:24

You’ve definitely inspired me and helped me learn such a lot xx
