One of the new products I'm excited about is our "This and That" book! I didn't know exactly what I was going to do with it when I got it but I knew I wanted one! I started Scrapbooking 15 years ago when my kids were young and moved quickly to Rubber Stamping and Card Making. I've taught thousands of people to Scrapbook but haven't done NEARLY as much as I would like. Our Digital Scrapbooking Program – My Digital Studio (MDS) is a fabulous alternative – You can even Scrapbook on an airplane! You can download a trial of MDS for free – HERE. But our THIS AND THAT Book is something else! This product is more about your every day life. It's not quite as "important" as a "real" scrapbook - at least that's how some people feel. All of the work is done for you! The pages of the book are Designer Series Paper already so you don't have to decorate the pages! For me, that makes it easier! I'm not recording an event – more just detailing "This and That" about my life!
The cover is plain and you can decorate it as you wish. I used Designer Series Paper and the "This and That" Designer Stickers to decorate the front of mine. I used lots of ribbon – (a great use for your old ribbons!)
I wanted to do something positive so I chose to do a book of things that make me happy: Things I Love, People I Love, Places I Love, Food I Love, etc. In between those pages, I just put photos from things I do – like parties, dinners, and quick photos I snap of friends. I find myself looking at it over and over and over! It's a little book but most of what is important to me is in that book!
I will be sharing pages from my THIS AND THAT book in the coming days. It is a work in progress and just my interpretation of what the book should be – for me! I am definitely going to do a few more. I'd love to hear what you'd do with yours! Leave me a comment and let me know some of the books and pages you want to do and I will pick a random winner who will receive their own "This and That" book from me.

I love your cover Cathy!! And I love the whole This’N That product line — can’t wait to see more of your book.
Thanks SO much, Sandi!
This is beautiful. I think I want to try this for all the things I do this summer (which includes a trip to TN, OH and a trip St. Augustine). Love the colors
Thanks so much, Sandi! I hemmed and hawed about what to do with the cover! LOL! I love the ribbons and it was a great use for some of my retired ones! 🙂
Really like the cover. Mine is started but can’t figure out what I want on the cover. This is really close. Kinda vintage.
