<content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;We hope you all have had a great weekend! We are back and ready to show you more peeks! There were a couple of questions about timing of products - all items that we have shown so far - except the trinket flowers will begin shipping in the middle of February. The flowers (along with one other item we are showing tomorrow) will ship in the middle of April. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Considering we are already towards the end of January, late February is not that far away!!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also there was a question about &amp;quot;recipe for a happy child&amp;quot; mini coaster album - well DT member - Lia A. who designed it for us will be sharing it on the &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/dt/&quot;&gt;DT blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; later this week so be on the look out for it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Today, we wanted to share with you some of our Chipboard Albums and Stamps. We are also going to throw in 3 other Chipboard Coasters as we didn&amp;#39;t have the space to share them on Day 1. Hope you are ready for some more eye candy!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let&amp;#39;s start with our new albums - what about a new bird cage one?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876e8b5a4970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_5364&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af148833012876e8b5a4970c &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876e8b5a4970c-500pi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_5364&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt; This beauty is a huge 6&amp;quot; x 7.2&amp;quot;.

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;For this dress form CREATE banner below, we had a couple of tips from DT member - Katie W - on it! You will notice that each dress form piece has the stand shown below:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876e92663970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7e63bf2970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Create&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a7e63bf2970b &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7e63bf2970b-500pi&quot; title=&quot;Create&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Katie wanted something that she could hang on the wall and have the legs very sturdy also. Katie traced the legs on the bonus sheet of chipboard that comes with our Leaves Chipboard Sheet (did you know we had a bonus backing sheet on the back of these)? Then she traced the same legs onto the black card that some of our mini chipboards, mini sheers and chandelier beads come in like this one:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876e93c54970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_0452&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af148833012876e93c54970c &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876e93c54970c-500pi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_0452&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;She then glued them both together and sanded them to get the look you see! Pretty cool huh?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And we had tons of comments on the Dangling Chandelier beads - check out this neat trick from Lisa P. (and do you see something you might see tomorrow in our last day of Peeks?). Yes you can alter the beads with Copics and Alcohol Inks. Or what about this idea from Lisa - &lt;span dir=&quot;ltr&quot; id=&quot;:23i&quot;&gt;cut the words out of an old book put glossy accents on the word then attached them to the back of the bead.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876eadff9970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;HPIM9908&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af148833012876eadff9970c &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876eadff9970c-500pi&quot; title=&quot;HPIM9908&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Whew, that is it.

<content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Welcome to day 3 of the Maya Road Sneak Peeks! We hope you have been loving what you have seen so far; today we are bringing you a peek at some of our very successful Trinket Line!!! There is so much to see and drool over here so let&amp;#39;s get started! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How about some beautiful medallion flowers - these babies are about 2.0&amp;quot; across! They will come 2 colors/ package - brown/cream, black/red and yellow/pink:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7d5c551970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_5335&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a7d5c551970b &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7d5c551970b-500pi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_5335&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Next we have our Ruffle Blossoms (and guess what there are ribbons that match these). The blossoms come beige/brown or pink/yellow. These are about 0.75&amp;quot; across.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7d5c9b5970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_5342&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a7d5c9b5970b &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7d5c9b5970b-500pi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_5342&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Now how about some BEAUTIFUL Felt Pearl Blossoms? These are made of some of the finest felt and are 2&amp;quot; across. They come in 2 color sets like grey/pink, yellow/turquoise and brown/off-white.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7d5cc24970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_5341&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a7d5cc24970b &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7d5cc24970b-500pi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_5341&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;And finally we have our cute Country Home Flowers. They are about 1.5&amp;quot; across. These cuties come in packs of red/black or brown/green:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7d5cda9970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_5344&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a7d5cda9970b &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7d5cda9970b-500pi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_5344&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Should we move next to our pins and hanging beads?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Check out this new set of Brown and Turquoise Leaf Pins (they will come with both colors in a blister pack):&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876d86477970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_4863&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af148833012876d86477970c &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876d86477970c-500pi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_4863&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt; And what about some Dangling Chandelier Beads (it is a steal at 3 sizes over 70 pieces total for less than $5 retail in the US!) - and did you know you can color these with Copic markers - just wait til you see the DT sample in a bit!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7d5d0e0970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_5013&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a7d5d0e0970b &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7d5d0e0970b-500pi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_5013&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt; And we cannot forget about our trims! We have 3 beautiful sets this time around!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;How about some vintage crochet ones?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7d76de8970b-pi&quot;

It is formulated to work with our Maya Mists, Ink Pads and also regular acrylic paints! The resist comes in a bottle like this - please excuse this bottle as it is the only one we have here - our workhorse bottle. The rest of the Maya Resist are on their way to CHA or coming to our warehouse! Trust us, the bottles will be prettier when you see them in person. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7d31cc9970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_5327&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a7d31cc9970b &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7d31cc9970b-500pi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_5327&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt; You can purchase the Resist with and without the thin applicator tip as it is reusable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;The Maya Resist allows you to create a mask on most surfaces - chipboard, most papers, most canvas, etc. The Resist is a fluid product which allows you to create very detailed masking with the applicator tip. You can even create a mask with your signature - the fluid nature of the product allows you to write and doodle if you wish. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Here is a step by step example of what you can do. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt; Check this canvas banner we started painting with a mixture of Salmon Metallic Mist, Cotton Candy Metallic Mist and gesso. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7d0e3f3970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_5273&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a7d0e3f3970b &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7d0e3f3970b-500pi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_5273&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt; Next, we used the Maya Resist and drew a heart.

About 5 years ago, we started making Maya Road Mega Bottlecaps. We had sold out of them for a while and decided to bring them back since we had so many requests for them. Our Mega Bottlecaps were almost 2&amp;quot; in diameter. Well, we wanted to bring in something even bigger and more fabulous - what about an almost 3&amp;quot; Super Mega Bottlecap? Check it out here right next to the 2&amp;quot; one:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7d10b82970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_5231&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a7d10b82970b &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7d10b82970b-500pi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_5231&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;There are a ton of possiblities - here is what we turned one of the Super Mega Bottlecaps into:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876d3903f970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_5233&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af148833012876d3903f970c &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876d3903f970c-500pi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_5233&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt; &lt;strong&gt;We hope you have enjoyed the Day 2 Peeks!

The big tradeshow is next week and we are ready to go but before we do, we wanted to inspire you each day for the next 5 days with some peeks. &lt;strong&gt;Leave us a comment each day and tell us what you like or your favorite is; each day we will pick a winner to receive a MR prize pack to enjoy! Comments close for each day when the next day peeks are up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let&amp;#39;s go!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some of our most popular items we cannot keep in stock are our mini chipboards, kraft items and coasters - today we will share with you a peek at some of each! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let&amp;#39;s start with our minis - what about a mini sewing set.

<content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Wow, thank you to all the participation we have had during Sneak Peek Week! Before we get to the winners (and yes we will post them here), we wanted to share with you a couple of things.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We were so excited to find out that we were the Reader&amp;#39;s Choice Winner for Scrapbooks, Etc Magazine under the Mini Album Category! You can see all the winners here in this Aug/Sept 2009 issue (as you can see we couldn&amp;#39;t believe our eyes and have already given the magazine a good working flipping through it)!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330115713ba6de970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_0301&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330115713ba6de970c &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330115713ba6de970c-500pi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_0301&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;We are super excited and thank you so much for everyone that voted for us!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secondly, we didn&amp;#39;t get a chance to show you another mini Christmas tree album we have. This one matches the large one (which is about 8.5&amp;quot; to 9&amp;quot;) but this one here comes on a chipboard sheet (and is about 6&amp;quot;) with lots of chipboard goodies to use with it. Check it out:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af14883301157230599b970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_0304&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;at-xid-6a00df3521af14883301157230599b970b &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af14883301157230599b970b-500pi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_0304&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;This would be a perfect album for some Christmas memories! You can document them and save them to hang on your tree. And check out all the delish bits that come with it to use:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833011572305f75970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_0306&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;at-xid-6a00df3521af148833011572305f75970b &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833011572305f75970b-500pi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_0306&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now onto our Sneak Peek Week Winners!

<content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;But before we get to that, concerning the Day 3 peeks and the hanging chandelier beads, we went and created some samples with some alcohol inks and Copic Markers today so show you what you can do with our Clear Beads to give it a splash of color. The blue one was done with the Copic and the others with alcohol inks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330115712ca3ef970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_0293&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330115712ca3ef970c &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330115712ca3ef970c-500pi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_0293&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;So easy and fun to do and an easy way to match your hanging MR beads for your project!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And we love that so many of you love the sushi stamp - LOL - we are planning on making some sushi party cards to celebrate after CHA-S is finished!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now back to our peeks! Tomorrow will be our big reveal of the entire catalog but before we do, here are some photos of some neat Maya Road albums coming your way!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let&amp;#39;s start with one of our DT&amp;#39;s favorite - our Scallop Layer Christmas Tree Album! We couldn&amp;#39;t pry it out of the hands of one of the Maya Road boys because he insisted on being in the photo with the Tree:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833011572212736970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_8976&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;at-xid-6a00df3521af148833011572212736970b &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833011572212736970b-500pi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_8976&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next we have a cute lil&amp;#39; LadyBug album - that is a huge 8&amp;quot;. The antenna are separate and the front page is die cut.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330115722128b8970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_0234&quot;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What about a cute mixed scallop Triangle Banner? 4 pages have scallops and 4 do not - use them separately or layer them for a neat effect!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330115712caffb970c-pi&quot;

title=&quot;IMG_0230&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And what about our mini Calendar Stand - it is acrylic with 6 chipboard pages - perfect for using with our 2010 calendar sheers!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833011572212d79970b-pi&quot;

title=&quot;IMG_0236&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And there have been some inquiries into our new mini chipboard letters so we wanted to show them here for you - here is the mini Bethany alphabet (named for Ms B who came into the MR family about 6 months ago)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833011572212f6b970b-pi&quot;

<content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Well we are *almost* to the end of our sneak peek week! It sure has flown by quickly! There were a couple of comments from day 3 which we wanted to answer here&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Will you all make different color hanging beads?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For the chandelier beads, you can change the color they are with a couple of drops of alcohol inks on them - so think of the possibilities by just starting with the clear!!&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. When do all the items ship? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We plan on shipping items as soon as we arrive back from CHA-S; about 80% of the items are ready to go and are on their way to our warehouse as we speak! So unless there is a customs issue, we will be busy right after CHA! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. There were some chipboard fonts used for some of the albums in the last peek - what are they?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Actually, they are some of our new Bethany chipboard letters in mini - we didn&amp;#39;t get to share them with day 1 peeks but they are super cute!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ok back to the peeks!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Today we want to share with you some color first off and then follow that up with a peek to our stamps. So let&amp;#39;s get started!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some of our most popular release this year has been our Maya Mists. Great colors and coverage come from our entire range. And guess what here is a peek at some more colors coming your way!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330115721d3569970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_0208&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330115721d3569970b &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330115721d3569970b-500pi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_0208&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;And notice our new bottles!

<content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Thanks to everyone who commented on &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/mayaroad/&quot;&gt;our last post&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; about some sneak peeks and warehouse sale! And those of you who guessed 8 MR products in the photo were right! We will pick a random winner from all the comments that were made by Wed July 15th and then also a winner from those who picked the number 8. &lt;strong&gt;The winners will be picked on FRIDAY so make sure you check back here to see if you won!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And for those who wanted to get a kit, we went in today and took a look and we have 25 kits or so left. If you still want one, here is your chance to get it in &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=storefront&quot;&gt;our storefront&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now onto our peeks!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We are going to start with 2 categories today, the first one being something we haven&amp;#39;t done before. How does a line of kraft tags and envelopes sound? Also check out the fact that each of the sets are going to be less than $5 (in the US). Each of the tag/card sets will have 27 to 30 pieces.

<content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Just a quick update for everyone - we will begin our CHA-S Sneak Peeks later this week - for now we have a little giveaway. Thanks for making our &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=storefront&quot;&gt;warehouse sale&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; such a success! To celebrate, we set aside 2 kits which we are going to giveaway right now! PLUS, with our new CHA-S things arriving soon, we are going to throw in a couple of items in there from the summer show - how does THAT sound?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We are going to give you 2 chances to enter so listen closely!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Leave a comment on this post between now and this coming Wednesday (July 15th) - make sure we know who you are but with a twist, here is how you can get your 2nd chance - &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833011571fa4610970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_0036&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;at-xid-6a00df3521af148833011571fa4610970b &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833011571fa4610970b-500pi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_0036&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. In the photo above, there is a number of Maya Road products shown - how many do you see? Here is a hint, it is more than 4 but less than 10! Leave your guess in your comment!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We will pick a winner randomly from all the comments and then for the ones that guessed correctly, we will randomly pick someone from there too!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here is another hint for you - there are some MR classics as well as some new things coming out at CHA-S. Some things we have done before, some we have not so good luck (wink wink!)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS: Don&amp;#39;t forget to enter our &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=announcements_details&amp;amp;a_id=46&quot;&gt;recipe card contest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

<content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Have you seen the new &lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/mayaroad/2010/01/day-6-maya-road-full-catalog.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;3-ring canvas albums&lt;/a&gt;? They&amp;#39;re made entirely out of canvas (swoon). When I got my hands on one, I could not wait to use our fabulous Maya Mist on it! To color the &amp;quot;Happy Me&amp;quot; album below, I simply used:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;water&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Blue Maya Mist&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Purple Maya Mist&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Lemon Maya Mist&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a857ea75970b-popup&quot; onclick=&quot;window.open( this.href, &amp;#39;_blank&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&amp;#39; ); return false&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Dina03&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a857ea75970b &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a857ea75970b-500wi&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The process is easy &amp;amp; fun. First, I took the rings off the album. Then, I dipped each canvas page into water. While the canvas was wet, I sprayed it with the Blue Maya Mist and the Purple Maya Mist. The wet canvas encouraged the mists to mix and fade out as the ink moved down the page. I loved the ombre look it was giving me! I worked quickly &amp;amp; did each page, and set them aside to dry. When they were dry, I used one of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=1_10&amp;amp;products_id=91&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Super Nova Chipboard star shapes &lt;/a&gt;as a mask, and sprayed the Lemon Maya Mist over it on each page. Those same chipboard shapes show up later in my album as decorative elements. Simple &amp;amp; easy!! The wings are from the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=120_148&amp;amp;products_id=172797&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;clear acrylic wing keychain&lt;/a&gt;...I just painted one side of them and edged them in permanent black ink.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a857f262970b-popup&quot; onclick=&quot;window.open( this.href, &amp;#39;_blank&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&amp;#39; ); return false&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Dina04&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a857f262970b &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a857f262970b-500wi&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These canvas albums are fabulous...so many fun possibilities!! I can&amp;#39;t wait to see what you do with them!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://dinastamps.typepad.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Dina&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

<content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;A lot of you (thank you thank you) are awesome Maya Mist users! You tell us that our mists do not buckle your papers, cover items with just a couple of sprays and the coverage is awesome. Here are a couple of other things you can do with your mists in case you didn&amp;#39;t know.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af14883301287760073a970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_5302&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af14883301287760073a970c image-full &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af14883301287760073a970c-800wi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_5302&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are two examples on this banner of what you can do! This was one of our new triangle canvas banners. I misted it first with some of our new Salmon Metallic Mist and the Cotton Candy Metallic Mist. Since those are rather bright colors, I mixed in some white gesso and painted the banner til I got the color I wanted. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Next, I used the Maya Mist to &amp;quot;tea dye&amp;quot; some yellow seam binding I had. I took the seam binding, wet it a bit and sprayed a smidge of the Latte Metallic Mist on there. The water helped to spread the color to give it a very cool look. Allow to dry then put your project together.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Give your Maya Mists a try at some new techniques.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Caroline&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;PS (all of these lovelies will arrive at a LSS very soon!)&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

I am going to show you how to do this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a83bdef9970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_3932&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a83bdef9970b &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a83bdef9970b-500pi&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0px;&quot; title=&quot;IMG_3932&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;just by using a couple of simple things! here is a list of what I used:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=1_10&amp;amp;products_id=91&amp;amp;zenid=7b178912b173708e8161703ba90eb337&quot;&gt;Supernova chipboard set&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=144_157&amp;amp;products_id=173160&amp;amp;zenid=7b178912b173708e8161703ba90eb337&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=144_157&amp;amp;products_id=173160&amp;amp;zenid=7b178912b173708e8161703ba90eb337&quot;&gt;Avocado Maya Mist&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=144_162&amp;amp;products_id=173144&amp;amp;zenid=7b178912b173708e8161703ba90eb337&quot;&gt;MR 1&amp;quot; White Ink Pads&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Embossing folders and machine&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;A box to spritz the Maya Mist (I used empty soda pop boxes)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a83be10b970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_3915&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a83be10b970b &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a83be10b970b-500pi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_3915&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Start by spraying your chipboard supernova stars with 2 coats of Maya Mist&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330128773f32a1970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_3916&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330128773f32a1970c &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330128773f32a1970c-500pi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_3916&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330128773f338b970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_3918&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330128773f338b970c &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330128773f338b970c-500pi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_3918&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Allow to dry. Next I wanted to create a star where the embossed parts were inked. So I took out my embossing folder and inked the raised image with the 1&amp;quot; white ink pad.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a83c06d5970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_3919&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a83c06d5970b &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a83c06d5970b-500pi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_3919&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Next, place the star (top side facing the inked part) in the embossing folder. Then run it through your machine according to its specific instructions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330128773f6295970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_3921&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330128773f6295970c &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330128773f6295970c-500pi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_3921&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now check out your finished product!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a83c18c4970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_3922&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a83c18c4970b &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a83c18c4970b-500pi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_3922&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can also do the same without the white ink and get this result:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a83c1aa3970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_3927&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a83c1aa3970b &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a83c1aa3970b-500pi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_3927&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The trick is to mist your chipboard before you emboss it - it gives your items a depth of color that you can&amp;#39;t get if you emboss first and then mist.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Check it out on the finished project:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330128773f69a5970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_3933&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330128773f69a5970c &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330128773f69a5970c-500pi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_3933&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enjoy!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

&lt;p&gt;11.&amp;#0160;&amp;#0160;&amp;#0160;&amp;#0160;Brown Cardstock&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;TEXT-ALIGN: center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a82e8c52970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;DISPLAY: inline&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_5572_Small&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a82e8c52970b image-full &quot; height=&quot;422&quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a82e8c52970b-800wi&quot; style=&quot;WIDTH: 68.11%&quot; title=&quot;IMG_5572_Small&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First Cover all the chipboard pieces with matching patterned paper and cardstock. Sand and ink edges if desired. I traced the owl first and cut out a pattern so I could create layers on the owl, line the wing and inner shape of the owl. (to add Dimension)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Use the brown Maya Mist to spray the branch.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Use the string to thread through the buttons and attach to owl (once covered with paper)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Glue the mini scroll onto the wing and then attach a bow with 2 trinket pins attached onto the owl.&amp;#0160; Outline all the edges with a pen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;TEXT-ALIGN: center&quot;&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;TEXT-ALIGN: center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af14883301287731f8e0970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;DISPLAY: inline&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_5573_Small&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af14883301287731f8e0970c image-full &quot; height=&quot;232&quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af14883301287731f8e0970c-800wi&quot; style=&quot;WIDTH: 67.47%; HEIGHT: 203px&quot; title=&quot;IMG_5573_Small&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Use the picture above as a guide.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once complete attach the branch and attach to the base of the scroll frame, then attach the owl on top.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To create the leaves I sketched some leaves onto cardstock the cut them out. I then Outlined them and attached them randomly onto the branch, some of the leaves I actually rolled up.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;TEXT-ALIGN: center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a82e9630970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;DISPLAY: inline&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_5571_Small&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a82e9630970b image-full &quot; height=&quot;555&quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a82e9630970b-800wi&quot; style=&quot;WIDTH: 81.8%&quot; title=&quot;IMG_5571_Small&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I attached some on top the the branch and some below. Once done allow to dry. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Punch 2 holes at the top of the project and use the string to make it into a hanging!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And thats it!! Easy............(this is a quick and easy project that can be completed in under 1 hour.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sarah&lt;/p&gt;

<content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;I love Maya Road stamps for several reasons. I love clear acrylic stamps because they are easy to use and it is so easy to see what you are doing when you are stamping. I also like that Maya Road stamps are so versatile, fun, and cool. There are so many possiblities with any given stamp set! I love that! It stretches your dollar even further when your stamps can be used in so many different ways. For this post I am using the &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: #ff00ff&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7f010c1970b-pi&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: #80ff00&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: #ff00ff&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: #ff00ff&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: #ff00ff; text-decoration: none&quot;&gt;Mini Triangle banner&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: #80ff00&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;(new)&amp;#0160;stamp set and the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=4_36&amp;amp;products_id=172402&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: #80ff00&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: #ff00ff; text-decoration: none&quot;&gt;Journal note&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; stamp set. Stamping is not just for stamping on paper either! I will show you how you can use your awesome Maya Road stamps on fabric!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876fc630d970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;DISPLAY: inline&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876fca8e3970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;DISPLAY: inline&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_9549&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af148833012876fca8e3970c &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876fca8e3970c-500wi&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;First I&amp;#0160;used the new&amp;#0160;Triangle Baner stamp. I inked it with Staz-On ink onto heavy duck cloth material. Next,&amp;#0160;I cut it out and adhered it to a piece of patterned fabric. When that dried I adhered that to some Maya Road &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=index&amp;amp;cPath=3_44&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: #a0ff40&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: #ff00ff; text-decoration: none&quot;&gt;sheer ribbon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Now you are ready to embellish the banner. I used Stickles, some Maya Road jewels, chipboard letters/shapes, and some gorgeous &lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876f31e7a970c-pi&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: #ff00ff; text-decoration: none&quot;&gt;Maya Road zig zag trim&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;#0160;I think handstitching the stamped image or using some Copic markers would be a great way to embellish this banner too! You can make your banner say whatever you want and you can personalize it. I love the size of this stamp because it is just right to make a smaller garland.&amp;#0160;This would&amp;#0160;also make a great garland for a Christmas tree! Another idea using&amp;#0160;Maya Road stamps is to tear/cut pieces of a light colored muslin/cotton cloth and stamp onto the strips making your own unique ribbon or ties for your garland or for wrapping gifts!&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af14883301287708af7e970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;DISPLAY: inline&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_9550&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af14883301287708af7e970c &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af14883301287708af7e970c-500wi&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The next technique involves all the new canvas items that Maya Road has&amp;#0160;and also the new releases.&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7f010c1970b-pi&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: #8000ff&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-FAMILY: ; COLOR: #ff00ff; text-decoration: none&quot;&gt;Canvas albums, tags,&amp;#0160;and triangle banners&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;! I used the new&amp;#0160;canvas tags to make reusable gift tags. First, I stamped the word birthday from the MR Journal Note stamp set around the edge of my tag.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#0160;Next I added a piece of chalkboard fabric and some Maya Road yellow velvet trim, some embellishments and then added my sentiment using chalk. These tags could be used over and over again just by wiping&amp;#0160;it off&amp;#0160;and adding a different personal sentiment!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af14883301287708b7e8970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;DISPLAY: inline&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;29&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af14883301287708b7e8970c &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af14883301287708b7e8970c-500wi&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Speaking of&amp;#0160;these wonderful canvas albums here is another use for them. Just add a little fabric &amp;quot;pocket&amp;quot;, some Maya Road trim&amp;#0160;to one of the pages and now you have some really cool eyeglass/Ipod holders for your purse!&lt;/p&gt;

I used beads, flowers, ribbon and chipboard letters to embellish the strawberries. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Notice the new Mini Chipboard Butterflies on the banner.&amp;#0160; Each butterfly comes with two layers, a full silhouette of the butterfly and a die cut one (which I used) The two pieces can be layered or used separately.&amp;#0160; You can check them out &lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/mayaroad/2010/01/day-6-maya-road-full-catalog.html&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;, in the new catalog.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7fb2906970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Maya_sweetbanner_blog&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a7fb2906970b image-full &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7fb2906970b-800wi&quot; title=&quot;Maya_sweetbanner_blog&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Maya Road Supplies Used:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876d07cd7970c-pi&quot;&gt;Strawberry Coaster&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7f00fb7970b-pi&quot;&gt;Chipboard Mini Butterflies&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=144_161&amp;amp;products_id=173206&quot;&gt;Gingham Point Blossoms&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=144_160&amp;amp;products_id=173193&quot;&gt;Red Gingham Ribbon&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=144_160&amp;amp;products_id=173191&quot;&gt;Green Gingham Ribbon&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=168_169&amp;amp;products_id=173216&quot;&gt;Trinket Pins Hearts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=1_119&amp;amp;products_id=172931&quot;&gt;Damask Chipboard Sheet&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=5_34&amp;amp;products_id=189&quot;&gt;Trinket Beads Hearts and Butterflies&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=1_32&amp;amp;products_id=119&quot;&gt;New York Uppercase Alphabet&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Other Supplies Used:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Patterned Paper - Collage Press (Sweet Shoppe Collection)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tasseled cord (found in the upholstery section), plain pink cord, beads and glitter - Hobby Lobby&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;See you soon,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jennifer&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=1_32&amp;amp;products_id=119&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

<content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Hi everyone!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How are you enjoying the daily Maya Road Peeks of new CHA-W products on the the &lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/mayaroad/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;company blog&lt;/a&gt;? Today is the last day of sneaks so remember to hop on over to drool over the new yummys, be inspired by the gorgeous work the Maya Road Design Team has created, and most importantly leave some love on the blog post for a chance to win a Maya Road prize pack!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Today, I&amp;#39;d like to share with you a project I created using a new coaster album that will be released at CHA-W, the Classic Label Coaster Album. I embellished the album using cutecute mini chipboards from the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=168_169&amp;amp;products_id=173215&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;What&amp;#39;s Cookin&amp;#39; set&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=129_130_142&amp;amp;products_id=173022&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Jonathan mini chipboard alphas&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=144_163&amp;amp;products_id=173153&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Decorative kraft Journaling Tags&lt;/a&gt;. Lots of mini love on this one! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Before we head on to the pictures, here&amp;#39;s the complete &amp;#39;Recipe For A Happy Child&amp;#39; used on this album (I got it from a cross-stitch sampler!).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;~ Recipe For A Happy Child ~&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;1 full cup of Understanding&lt;br /&gt;2 full cups of Respect&lt;br /&gt;3 tbsp of Guidance&lt;br /&gt;a dash of Patience&lt;br /&gt;--------------&lt;br /&gt;Sprinkle with Laughter&lt;br /&gt;Cover with Hugs&lt;br /&gt;Bake in a Home&lt;br /&gt;Filled with Love&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876f00ae2970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;DSC_0131&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af148833012876f00ae2970c &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876f00ae2970c-500pi&quot; title=&quot;DSC_0131&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7ed1090970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;DSC_0135&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a7ed1090970b &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7ed1090970b-500pi&quot; title=&quot;DSC_0135&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7ed116d970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;DSC_0136&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a7ed116d970b &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7ed116d970b-500pi&quot; title=&quot;DSC_0136&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876f00e8c970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;DSC_0138&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af148833012876f00e8c970c &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876f00e8c970c-500pi&quot; title=&quot;DSC_0138&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876f00f54970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;DSC_0140&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af148833012876f00f54970c &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876f00f54970c-500pi&quot; title=&quot;DSC_0140&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7ed13cb970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;DSC_0141&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a7ed13cb970b &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7ed13cb970b-500pi&quot; title=&quot;DSC_0141&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876f0127c970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;DSC_0143&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af148833012876f0127c970c &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876f0127c970c-500pi&quot; title=&quot;DSC_0143&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7ed1815970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;DSC_0145&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a7ed1815970b &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7ed1815970b-500pi&quot; title=&quot;DSC_0145&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I hope you&amp;#39;ve enjoyed this album as much I enjoyed creating it!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;x&lt;br /&gt;Lia&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

<content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;I had the awesome Maya Road &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=1_8&amp;amp;products_id=172926&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Gear Coaster Album&lt;/a&gt;...but felt stumped about what to do with it. My boys don&amp;#39;t really play with cars any more, they are true-blue Lego fans. My friend &lt;a href=&quot;http://celestefs.blogspot.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Celeste&lt;/a&gt; suggested that I use the album to document their love of Legos, using the idea that their gears are always turning when they are playing. I loved the idea! It&amp;#39;s true that when they play with Legos, they concentrate hard...you can almost see their brain turning and coming up with new and exciting creations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When you get a shaped album, try thinking out of the box for your album&amp;#39;s theme. You don&amp;#39;t have to do what&amp;#39;s obvious...be creative and you&amp;#39;ll come up with fabulous! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a79fbac9970b-popup&quot; onclick=&quot;window.open( this.href, &amp;#39;_blank&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&amp;#39; ); return false&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Gears1&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a79fbac9970b &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a79fbac9970b-500wi&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876a2510d970c-popup&quot; onclick=&quot;window.open( this.href, &amp;#39;_blank&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&amp;#39; ); return false&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Gears2&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af148833012876a2510d970c &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876a2510d970c-500wi&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876a2515d970c-popup&quot; onclick=&quot;window.open( this.href, &amp;#39;_blank&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&amp;#39; ); return false&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Gears3&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af148833012876a2515d970c &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876a2515d970c-500wi&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a79fbdfe970b-popup&quot; onclick=&quot;window.open( this.href, &amp;#39;_blank&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&amp;#39; ); return false&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Gears4&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a79fbdfe970b &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a79fbdfe970b-500wi&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876a25273970c-popup&quot; onclick=&quot;window.open( this.href, &amp;#39;_blank&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&amp;#39; ); return false&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Gears5&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af148833012876a25273970c &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876a25273970c-500wi&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What creative themes have you come up with for Maya Road albums?

<content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Today I have created a quick and easy way to display photos. This project can be completed in around 30-45mins!! (Yes I am going crazy creating lots of new CHA projects!!!)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To create this project you will need the following:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=1_8&amp;amp;products_id=4&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;A page from 6 x 6 Album&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2.&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=1_119&amp;amp;products_id=173011&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Scroll from Scroll Chipboard Sheet&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=168_169&amp;amp;products_id=173216&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Trinket Pins Hearts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4.&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=168_170&amp;amp;products_id=173040&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Love keychain&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5. Scallop Ric Rac&amp;#0160;Ribbon&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;6. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=1_119&amp;amp;products_id=172933&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Butterflies from Mini Tab 2 Ring Book&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;7. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=144_145_154&amp;amp;products_id=173112&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Leaves from Leaves Chipboard Sheet&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;8. Papers are by Pink Paislee&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;9. Flower centres from Craft shop&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To create, cover base 6 x 6 page with paper. Cover the two heart shapes, scroll, leaves&amp;#0160;and butterflies with paper then&amp;#0160;cut out and sand edges. Ink if desired (I only inked my butterflies)Add the photo to the base ( 5 x 3.5 approx)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;TEXT-ALIGN: center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876b10541970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;DISPLAY: inline&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_5402_Medium&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af148833012876b10541970c image-full &quot; height=&quot;385&quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876b10541970c-800wi&quot; style=&quot;WIDTH: 67.46%&quot; title=&quot;IMG_5402_Medium&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Attach the heart shapes together then attach to base, then layer on the scroll.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To create the flowers follow the steps in the pictures below.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;TEXT-ALIGN: center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876b108f0970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;DISPLAY: inline&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_5412_Small&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af148833012876b108f0970c image-full &quot; height=&quot;396&quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876b108f0970c-800wi&quot; style=&quot;WIDTH: 53.35%; HEIGHT: 354px&quot; title=&quot;IMG_5412_Small&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#0160; &lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7aec420970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;DISPLAY: inline&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_5413_Small&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a7aec420970b image-full &quot; height=&quot;392&quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7aec420970b-800wi&quot; style=&quot;WIDTH: 53.83%; HEIGHT: 324px&quot; title=&quot;IMG_5413_Small&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876b109a5970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;DISPLAY: inline&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_5414_Small&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af148833012876b109a5970c image-full &quot; height=&quot;606&quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876b109a5970c-800wi&quot; style=&quot;WIDTH: 54.29%; HEIGHT: 483px&quot; title=&quot;IMG_5414_Small&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7aec535970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;DISPLAY: inline&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_5415_Small&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a7aec535970b image-full &quot; height=&quot;770&quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7aec535970b-800wi&quot; style=&quot;WIDTH: 57.83%; HEIGHT: 715px&quot; title=&quot;IMG_5415_Small&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7aec609970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;DISPLAY: inline&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_5416_Small_Small&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a7aec609970b image-full &quot; height=&quot;679&quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7aec609970b-800wi&quot; style=&quot;WIDTH: 57.8%; HEIGHT: 579px&quot; title=&quot;IMG_5416_Small_Small&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876b10b3d970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;DISPLAY: inline&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_5418_Small&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af148833012876b10b3d970c image-full &quot; height=&quot;685&quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876b10b3d970c-800wi&quot; style=&quot;WIDTH: 60.97%; HEIGHT: 364px&quot; title=&quot;IMG_5418_Small&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#0160;&amp;#0160;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To layer the flowers and leaves as I have done you will need a strong adhesive, take your time and allow lots of glue!! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;TEXT-ALIGN: center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876b114dd970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;DISPLAY: inline&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_5406_Medium&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af148833012876b114dd970c image-full &quot; height=&quot;814&quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876b114dd970c-800wi&quot; style=&quot;WIDTH: 79.96%; HEIGHT: 683px&quot; title=&quot;IMG_5406_Medium&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Apply flowers to project and to finish stick pins through the butterflies and attach. I would like to thank my lovely niece Isabelle for the cute photo....and DD Aimee for the hands in the pictures....Sarah&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</content:encoded>

<content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Wow, I can&amp;#39;t believe 2010 is already here! During the Christmas Break, I was busy making some calendars for each of the grandparents to use this year. It isn&amp;#39;t too late to start one!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here is one I made for my mom and dad which I think they will adore and do you see a couple of new MR items which you haven&amp;#39;t seen before? Look closely because I think you will!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7a0f137970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_4935&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a7a0f137970b image-full &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7a0f137970b-800wi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_4935&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7a0f216970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_4943&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a7a0f216970b image-full &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7a0f216970b-800wi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_4943&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876a38a30970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_4942&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af148833012876a38a30970c image-full &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876a38a30970c-800wi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_4942&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7a0f2bf970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_4940&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a7a0f2bf970b image-full &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7a0f2bf970b-800wi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_4940&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876a38bb9970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_4941&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af148833012876a38bb9970c image-full &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af148833012876a38bb9970c-800wi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_4941&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Here are some tips on the basics - first of all start with our &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=144_146&amp;amp;products_id=173097&amp;amp;zenid=e9549e64401fb5eb7e8cc502c7f1762b&quot;&gt;small acrylic calendar stand&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; - it comes complete with 6 chipboard pages that you can cover front and back. Then start adding your favorite papers and photographs! I usually use picasa and print 9 wallet sized photos on a page - the wallet size photos are PERFECT for these calendar stand! Add some of the &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=144_147_167&amp;amp;products_id=173177&amp;amp;zenid=e9549e64401fb5eb7e8cc502c7f1762b&quot;&gt;2010 sheer calendars (you get 3 sets of 2010 dates in this 1 package)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; or some &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=144_146&amp;amp;products_id=173097&amp;amp;zenid=e9549e64401fb5eb7e8cc502c7f1762b&quot;&gt;2010 calendar rubons&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; for the dates. Finish up with some embellishments and you are done!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I know that my parents and in-laws are going to love flipping through this album in 2010!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enjoy!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Caroline&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

<content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Today we have a special album which is from a guest designer, Pooi from Singapore! We spotted this beautiful album on 2 peas and asked her to share it with us here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here is some information from Pooi about her album:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;My idea of designing this love album is&amp;#0160;I wanted something small
and&amp;#0160;light to&amp;#0160;bring along in my luggage when I travel to work overseas
(away from my darling son).&amp;#0160; I wanted an album to look at and&amp;#0160;feel
inspired and motivated (where all the quotes for each month are my
reminders).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
And the &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=2_29&amp;amp;products_id=172276&amp;amp;zenid=f7e15205c6d4877f8ea6664f995fda47&quot;&gt;MR sheer heart album&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; is very easy to design on. It is a beautiful sheer album, light and easy to carry around.&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I left the sheer part&amp;#0160;for the front cover without any patterned papers
because the heart shape&amp;#0160;has a special curve outline. I decorated the
front cover with flowers, &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=168_169&amp;amp;products_id=173216&amp;amp;zenid=f7e15205c6d4877f8ea6664f995fda47&quot;&gt;MR trinket heart pins&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;, some
bling and love tickets.&amp;#0160; I painted the sheer cover with some red, pink, blue
acrylic paint. The sheer for the front cover has the translucent look
that can see through the 1st page and it&amp;#39;s awesome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The album content is from Jan to December, with photos and quotes. The
photos are cut according to the Maya Road heart shape album,
giving the photo a full page with&amp;#0160;minimum embellishments. Distress inks
are used to enhance the sides of the Maya Road heart shape album.&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We hope you enjoy Pooi&amp;#39;s beautiful work!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af14883301287698fcf7970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_0555&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af14883301287698fcf7970c image-full &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af14883301287698fcf7970c-800wi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_0555&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af14883301287698fd4f970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_0560&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af14883301287698fd4f970c image-full &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af14883301287698fd4f970c-800wi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_0560&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af14883301287698fd90970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_0563&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af14883301287698fd90970c image-full &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af14883301287698fd90970c-800wi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_0563&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af14883301287698fdce970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_0571&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af14883301287698fdce970c image-full &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af14883301287698fdce970c-800wi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_0571&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af14883301287698fe40970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_0567&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af14883301287698fe40970c image-full &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af14883301287698fe40970c-800wi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_0567&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a79676ee970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_0572&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a79676ee970b image-full &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a79676ee970b-800wi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_0572&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

<content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#39;s almost the New Year! I don&amp;#39;t really make resolutions, but I do set goals. I decided to make a simple little mini album to document some of the things I want to accomplish in 2010. I firmly believe that you need to write down a goal...if you don&amp;#39;t write it down, it will slip away from you. What better way to record your goals than with a little album loaded with Maya Road goodness? :)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Maya Road Goodies that I used:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;li style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=1_119&amp;amp;products_id=172933&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Mini Tab 2 - Ring Book&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

<content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;This past Labor Day was a special day for me as well I was actually in Labor. Ms Olivia decided that Labor Day was the perfect time to join our family. I have a ton of photos of her but haven&amp;#39;t had a chance to sit down and do any layouts til now.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I wanted to do a calendar to mark Labor Day - so what I ended up doing was using our &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=144_158&amp;amp;products_id=173171&amp;amp;zenid=929f58592113d56dcf2d20c413380426&quot;&gt;2010 calendar rubons&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a78c464b970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;2010&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a78c464b970b &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a78c464b970b-800wi&quot; title=&quot;2010&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt; While this is definitely for 2010, I thought of a way I could turn it into a 2009 use - especially September. I first dug out a kraft tag from our &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=144_163&amp;amp;products_id=173153&amp;amp;zenid=929f58592113d56dcf2d20c413380426&quot;&gt;Decorative Kraft set&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. And then I cut out the September calendar&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a78c473c970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_4892&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a78c473c970b image-full &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a78c473c970b-800wi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_4892&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#0160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I then applied the September and the number and left off the days of the week. As you can see from our rubons, they are super high performance and I only had to use a fingernail to get them off. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When I finished, I ended up with this:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a78c4892970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_4893&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a78c4892970b image-full &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a78c4892970b-800wi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_4893&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now if I wanted to, I could have taken the days of the week and rearranged them to fit over the correct numbers but I liked the way this looked.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then it was very simple to incorporate this tag into a layout of my sweet girl:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a78c4969970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_4898&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a78c4969970b image-full &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a78c4969970b-800wi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_4898&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here is another look at some of the other elements on this layout:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a78c49d9970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_4899&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a78c49d9970b image-full &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a78c49d9970b-800wi&quot; title=&quot;IMG_4899&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And that is it! So simple yet pretty to do. I hope you have enjoyed this.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;PST - one more thing - if you purchase at least $20 (before S/H) in the Maya Road store - &lt;strong&gt;you can get this sheet of the 2010 rubons and 1 sheer keychain for free&lt;/strong&gt; (which is a $6+ value). A network of stores fulfill our orders so suppor them - just shop here and put this promo code in:&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Courier New;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;YREND&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span size=&quot;2;&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Courier New;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 10pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>

If you are wondering what projects catch our eye - here are some tips and ideas:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;

<content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Last year, I worked on Ali Edwards&amp;#39; December Daily album but found that this year I didn&amp;#39;t have the time to commit to it. I decided instead to document the highlights of our December this year in the form of one of our &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=40&amp;amp;products_id=172370&quot;&gt;Maya Road townhouse&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;; I love all of our houses as they come with mini albums which are perfect for decorating and documenting. Since this album has 6 pages, I could cover 12 days of fun activities we have done this month (and what a steal it is at $6.50 for all of this):&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a774825d970b-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Townhouse&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;asset asset-image at-xid-6a00df3521af1488330120a774825d970b &quot; src=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a774825d970b-800wi&quot; title=&quot;Townhouse&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My townhouse was inspired by &lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/dt/2009/11/holiday-house-with-hanging-chandelier-beads-tutorial.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Katie&amp;#39;s house post&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; a couple of weeks ago. I loved how cute her house looked but I wanted to change it up a bit to fit the townhouse.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I started off by painting my house a turquoise blue (inside and outside). To give it a fun festive look, I covered it with Collage Press papers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af14883301287677910e970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_4527&quot;

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Using some of the papers and punches I had, I made a &amp;quot;flower&amp;quot; (idea given to me by Lia) and layered it with some patterned papers and an embossed chipboard star (from our &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=40&amp;amp;products_id=172370&quot;&gt;supernova collection&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;) and a letter &amp;quot;t&amp;quot; (from our &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=1_32&amp;amp;products_id=172409&quot;&gt;jonathan chipboard set&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;) covered with glaze.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af14883301287677917e970c-pi&quot; style=&quot;display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;IMG_4529&quot;

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The roof was covered with paper shingles and a metal edge to finish it off.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af1488330120a7748646970b-pi&quot;

title=&quot;IMG_4530&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The roof also had a chipboard heart accent (from our &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;amp;cPath=1_32&amp;amp;products_id=172409&quot;&gt;mini love chipboard set&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af14883301287677933e970c-pi&quot;

title=&quot;IMG_4531&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now the album inside is chock full of wallet sized photos and a bit of journaling to document our memories:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://mayaroad.typepad.com/.a/6a00df3521af14883301287677941d970c-pi&quot;

/&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have a couple of blank pages left to document the last couple of days before Christmas.
