Cropping Season is Open!!

With the falling of leaves, comes cooler weather, which brings…..More time to scrapbook! I know there are many Croptoberfests and weekend crops planned in the next couple of weeks to get us all cropping with a strong start. So, with the season opening - we thought we would offer a very short Scrapbooking Season Opener Price on the Unto All Generations Volume 1. Which means, we are offering it at only $10.99 ($4 off the regular list price). This offer will only last for 2 weeks, so, if you have any plans on purchasing this awesome help for your pages - get it now! And, spread the word to your friends, because it will not be offered at this price again, at least not until the next Scrapbooking Season Opener.

Happy Crobtoberfest Ya’ll!

A Penny For Your Thoughts

Since Scrapbookers Bubble Bath opened, there have been many changes to the web site in order to make it as easy and enjoyable to use as possible. Our dream is to create a site that helps you leave a legacy through products, ideas and encouragement. We only know if we are on our way to achieving that if we hear from you. So, we are asking for you to send us your comments and thoughts.

I am including a few specific questions that we would love to hear some answers to in order for us to do the best we can to help you. Be honest, and, tell us lots!

~~ What do you think of the Scrapbookers Bubble Bath Product Web Site? (For example: Do you find it easy to use? What do you think of the appearance? Are the products helpful?)
~~ What do you think of Scrapbookers Bubble Bath Inspiration? (Is it easy to read through? What do you think of the appearance? Are the ideas helpful?)
~~ Did you purchase Unto All Generations? Why or why not?
~~ If you were us, what would you change and - or keep the same?

This site started as a tiny seed in a few conversations and has become a passion for us - We only know what we are doing good and, what we can do better, if we hear from you. So, click below on comments, and start typing! ~And, no, there is no actual penny for giving us your thoughts, but, we hope you find one today :)

Thank you so very much!!

3 Wishes

I told myself I wouldn’t watch it - it was just another one of those feel good shows that will make me cry like every Hallmark Card commercial ever taped…..but, I ended up watching it anyway…. It was Three Wishes with Amy Grant. Well, I was right, it was like a Hallmark Card commercial, and, I was right, I did cry - but, I did come up with an awesome page idea that I just had to share - so, thanks 3 wishes!

As we watched the show, my son said “I know what my 3 wishes would be”. As he listed his sweet thoughts for me to have a horse, lots of land, and him to be a professional baseball player, I thought - “Man, I have to capture these precious words” - so I did. And you can bet I will be asking each of my children and my husband what their 3 wishes would be. What wonderful words to go back and read years from now.

So, go ask your family members what they would wish for, write it down, and make a page. You can take a picture of each member, or, even pose them if possible: For example, I could include a pix of my son in a baseball uniform. And, if you want to do something completely awesome, make it an annual tradition. Pick a date (October 1st, September 11, Thanksgiving), and, record what your loved ones wishes are each year-it would be wonderful to see the wishes change~and maybe see some come true!

A Precious Hymn Treasure

As I have homeschooled my 4 children this week, I took a new approach to handwriting practice. One that came to mind as a simple idea, and, turned into a God thing as the week progressed on. Now, as Friday is here, I stand in awe of my God that He would take such a small school activity to so richly bless me. Then, it gave me an idea for my album…..so, I’m passing it on.

Teach your children one of your favorite hymns, worship chorus, or scripture verse. Go over the words - teach them the meaning - share with them the reasons the words touch you. Then, give them a simple piece of writing paper, give them the words, and let them copy a few key words or sentences. Take a pix of them holding the paper (with you, if you can), and save the paper. Can you imagine 5, 10, or even 20 years from now having that treasure? You can bet I have already filed mine away to save in my album!

I have included one of my favorite links on the web. It is a place to find not only the words to many hymns, but, also some background information about the writer. http://www.cyberhymnal.org/

What if you continued this each year on your birthday or Christmas - a gift to yourself from your children….They will know more about your heart; they will learn more of the Lord; and, you will have a treasure forever…..How awesome is that!

SBB Brainstorms Are Here

Scrapbookers Bubble Bath has a vision to help you leave an eternal impact. While part of that dream includes providing faithbooking products, it also includes giving you many ideas to transform your pages of pictures to albums of legacy. Along with the SBB Faithbooking Inspirations Blog, we also are creating SBB Brainstorms.

The SBB Brainstorms are free downloadable idea sheets to give you some guidance on what to do with those piles of pictures. The Brainstorms are organized by subject, such as Falling into Fall, Beach, and Air Show, and includes journaling prompts, page topper ideas, and a scripture. While we currently only have a few available, there are many being created.

You may want to print off each Brainstorm as it comes available and put them in a binder, or, you can just log onto Scrapbookers Bubble Bath, 24 hours a day, at those times you need some extra inspiration, to make your album pages full of your words and thoughts. The Brainstorms are available on ScrapbookersBubbleBath.com http://scrapbookersbubblebath.com/SBB_Brainstorms.htm

We would love to hear your comments on the Brainstorms, and, in fact, if you have a subject you would like to see a Brainstorm created for, just contact us and we will create one.

How to Use Unto All Generations

I thought maybe I would share some ways you can use The Unto All Generations Series. This book is full of hundreds of scriptures for scrapbooking. I know since the time the book was completed, I have added scripture to so many pages, it is actually been exciting to see my albums take on a new meaning - I pray you will find the same blessing.

Some quick facts about Unto All Generations: Volume 1
~ It is divided into 14 easy to use catagories, including Adoption, Blessings, Children, and Nature
~ It has over 700 entries
~ It includes a foreward with an extensive suggestions for use
~ It includes instructions and a chart to help you personalize scripture, which is a beautiful way to bring comfort, encouragement, or blessing
~ It is available in both large print and normal print e-books, as well as CD
~ The large print version prints to approximately 60 pages; the normal print version prints to approximately 90 pages
~ $3.00 from each purchase will be donated to help care for the victims of Katrina

Scrapbookers Suggestions For Use
~ Find a perfect scripture as a page topper
~ Create a page embellishment by retyping the scripture in word, changing the font, and printing on a favorite color of picture safe paper
~ Use an appropriate scripture as a journaling prompt or to fill in that little empty space that ‘just needs something’
~ Use an appropriate scripture as a Title Page

Stampers Suggestions For Use
~ After creating a card, add an appropriate scripure on the inside bottom or back
~ Use a scripture as the inside message of a card
~ Use a scripture when you can’t find the words to express what you want to say
~ Use a scripture on a stamped gift bag

Journaling Suggestions For Use
~ Choose a appropriate scripture, then journal your feelings about that verse
~ Use a scripture at the top of your journaling page
~ Use a scripture when you can’t find the words to express your feelings

Life Suggestions For Use
~ I have to be honest, and say that I have referred to this book when I was trying to say the right words to my children in a situation that I wanted to use scripture: For example, as talked about the changing leaves, I looked in Nature; as we talked about a new school year, I looked in New Path.

I hope this helps to answer any questions you may have about the book, and helps give you some guidance to help you get the best use. And, please remember, if you have any questions or comments, I would love to hear them!

Unto All Generations, Vol 1

Do you faithbook? Do you wish you could find an appropriate scrapbooking scripture for that precious picture? Do you want to leave a legacy through your albums? The Unto All Generations Series is the perfect help! Volume 1, Family and Heritage Scriptures, is now available. This amazing book is filled with scriptures for scrapbooking and stamping divided into easy to use categories such as children, parents and nature.

This book has been years in the making, and, is very exciting for anyone who has seen it. It is perfect to help you find a wonderful page topper, create an embellishment, or fill in that space on your page that seems to be needing a little something. We pray that it helps you leave a legacy, that could make an eternal impact.

As the first volume neared completion, Hurrican Katrina had left her path of destruction. So, we have chosen to dedicate Unto All Generations, Volume I, to the victims of Katrina - $3 from the sale of each book will be donated to the North American Mission Board for the care of, and ministry to, those whose lives were devestated. And, in the book, I found the perfect verse…… a promise from God:
Victims of Katrina, I will build you up again and you will be rebuilt. Again you will take up your tambourines and go out to dance with the joyful. Jeremiah 31:4

SBB Faithbooking Inspirations

Welcome to SBB Faithbooking Inspirations! This is an extension of Scrapbookers Bubble Bath, but it is the place where I get to ramble with my faithbooking ideas, my favorite page inspirations, and, give some suggestions for using Scrapbookers Bubble Bath products.

I hope to create SBB Faithbooking Inspirations where you can grab a cup of your favorite drink, light a candle or two, and, just read. I know so often I am searching for some creative ways to add my faith to my pages or some inspiration to get me working on my albums again - hopefully, that is how this blog will help us all.

Since the word ‘blog’ was completely new to me until my brother started writing his, and, I for sure would not have any clue how to navigate around one, I thought I would give a quick explanation on how we set this blog up, and, how it can be utilized. And, as always, if you have any questions, suggestions, or comments, let me know - I would love to hear them

~ Categories - We have created ‘categories’ that you will see on the right column of the blog. Each of the entries have been categorized under one of these areas to give you a more defined search of what you may be looking for. For example, if you are not sure how you could use the Unto All Generations Series or the SBB Brainstorms, you can click on the SBB Product Suggestions for Use, and, all then entries for that category will come up. If you are looking for some creative page ideas, you can click on Page Ideas to see some creative ideas on how to make your pages more meaningful.

~ Links - We have included some links that we thought may be helpful or interesting to you. Most are the same as on the Scrapbookers Bubble Bath Home Page, but, we wanted to make the links easy for you to find without having to return the the Home Page. There are 2 additional blogs from SBB creators. Held By Him is my other blog where I get to brag on my children, talk about loving Jesus and trying to be the best mom I can be. The other - a favorite of many, is In Leftfield. That is my brothers and I love it! I think he actually has a following now. Check it out and I bet you will love it too! (Yes, this is a proud sister)

~ ScrapbookersBubbleBath.com - We have also provided quick links to the store and products at Scrapbookers Bubble Bath. This will make is easy for you to switch back and forth from the store and the blog

~ SBB Swaps - We are working on a place for you to log on that you can share your own ideas, questions and inspirations with other SBB customers. I am very excited about this, so, be ready, it will be fun!

So, let me know what you think, if you would like to see anything else, and keep checking in - My dream is for this to grow into the site I have always wished I had for inspiration in my own scrapbooking journey.
