Scrapbooking Made Easy

I really love to scrapbook, but don't have a dedicated room that I can leave my scrapbooking and rubber stamping materials out. So I was so excited to find Heritage Makers, an online scrapbooking company.

You do everything online: you don't even have to download any programs ( we even have a digital scrapbooking program) and when you are through, you receive a beautiful hardbound book. You can take a tour of our products and even a tour of how to do an album. You can upload photos, used scanned photos/layouts, and make digital scrapbook pages.

I did a family fold for a Vantel Pearls party. It was so easy, and I did not have to get my husband to drag all my products out.

Are you getting married, how about a Photo Journal that is used as a sign in book.

I am working on an album for my mom about her sister that passed away a bit ago.

Ah!!. The smell of flowers.


The above flower is a Pulmeria. Plumeria is one of the most popular tropical flowers in Hawaii. You can find plumeria easily along streets, or shopping areas in Maui.
I was excited to see this flower as one of Urban Botanic's perfume oils is Pulmeria and I had never heard of it before. It is a very pretty flower, that comes in a variety of colors. It is a very light and airy scent.

I am having a vendor fair on Saturday and made some samples of the fragrance families. I used Plumeria in the floral family. So very nice.



I bit about Florals:

Florals love aesthetic things - perfume, flowers, candles, music, anything that makes their personal space feel good. Florals are the ultimate flirts! They've always been this way. Florals have a great amount of confidence. They're popular people with big dreams and fantasies. They're extremely romantic, often very successful, and usually a little exhibitionist.
Are you a Floral? Take the personality test to see

Again I borrow from Karlene Browning, another Fragrance Designer with the Grey's Anatomy list: This time it is Addison
Addison's daytime scent is a light and clean mix of Juniper (2), Coconut (1), and White Musk (2). Her nighttime scent (of course she has two scents, she's a Floral!) is a romantic blend of Jasmine (2), Linden Blossom (1), Gardenia (1) and Egyptian Musk (1).

April: Aries

My mom's birthday is Monday and I decided I wanted to make her a fragrance.
I decided I would try and do the personality test: and I was really surprised that is showed her to be a woodsey. and then everything else is about evenly distributed.

I wanted to use honeysuckle and gardenia for sure, so will experiment tomorrow and let you know what I came up with.

Aries hate to wait, they don't like to admit to failure, and don't take well to the advice of others. The color for Aries is red, which speaks to both their strength and their passion for life.These characteristics point to a spicy, woodsy scent personality with a bit of floral thrown in.

Are you like Hansel and Gretel:




Being led into the woods?

Not sure what I mean? Take the personality test to find out if you are a Woodsy. My second highest breakdown is Woodsy.


Self-assurance and independence are the hallmarks of a Woodsy. They are quick thinkers and because of that, often talk very fast. Woodsies are bold, powerful, and have what it takes to get a task done. Although Woodsies are ambitious and aggressive with their goals and dreams, they are very compassionate, loving, and faithful. They're the most honorable people you can find

I got some of the following information from a fellow team member: Karlene Browning, Fragrance Designer with Urban Botanic.

She has done the ladies and men of Grey's Anatomy with personality tests. Bailey is a Woodsey, and her signature scent is a woodsy blend of Oakmoss: 1 and White Musk: 8
Our Woodsey oils are Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Oakmoss, Pine ( just what you would think about when you think of the woods), but also Myrrh. Like the Herby with the 3 mints, Woodsey has 3 musks: Egyptian, China, and White
Egyptian musk: rounds out most blends
China musk: very oriental in fragrance

My husband is a Woodsey, mostly and we made a fragrance for his shower gel: It has oakmoss, pine, egyptian musk, and cinnamon in it, then i added a bit of fig. He wanted a specific smell: and he ended up calling it Old Print Shop

I am with a company that allows you to do just that. Well actually, guest purchase oysters and I open them to reveal the beautiful cultured pearl inside.

What a unique concept that Vantel Pearls in the Oyster has come up with.

Happy Easter to those that celebrate Easter


I had the fortune to go to an Easter festival the other day at a Russian Orthadox Church.


They had Ukrainian pysanky eggs everywhere. All sizes and all designs.

Pysanky comes from a Ukrainian verb "pysaty" which means 'to write', so actually a pysanka is an egg that is written on.
This lady is demonstrating how it is done. The eggs in front of her are eggs at the different stages.
While watching her, I found out she will be doing a class after Easter, so guess who signed up.
I love creating things, so that is why I am so excited to belong to Heritage Makers. It is a way to do my scrapbooking all online, and then receive hardbound books of the finished product.

30 day challenge

I found another blog: Carrie and she issued a challenge: 30 posts in 30 days

So I am taking her up on her challenge. Wonder if it counts to do several in one day ;)

A little about Herbys

Herbies feel deeply for others and have the gift of empathy. They are very sincere when they encourage others; they genuinely want people to succeed. They see the good in others which can sometimes cause them to get hurt

The Herby oils that we use at Urban Botanic Parties are Lavender, Almond, Garden Mint, Basil, Spearmint, Peppermint, Sage, Tomato Leaf, and Chamomile.

Of the 3 mints, Garden Mint is an earthy mint that's blended with patchouli and oakmoss. The patchouli and oakmoss give this scent a richness and depth that the other mints (peppermint and spearmint) don't have, without overpowering it's light crisp aroma. Garden Mint is a cool, grounded fragrance sure to win the heart of any Herby personality. It goes well with almost any of the other oils, adding a sweet gentle tang to any recipe. It's not as strong as Peppermint, and it's sweeter than Spearmint.

One of my husband's favorite scent is almonds. Our Almond goes a long way, being that it is a basenote. Tyhe fragrance will linger over a long time.

One of the other Fragrance Designers used the men and women of Grey's Anatomy to tell about the different families. See Karlene Browning's post here

Izzie: signature scent is reminiscent of a lovely English Garden, with Rose (5), Lavendar (6) and Garden Mint (3).

What is your signature scent?

Sarah Jessica Parker has one, so does J.Lo. What am I talking about? I am talking about your very own custom-blended signature scent to suit your personality!

But how do you determine your Scent Personality? Urban Botanic's Personality Test is the first step to create your very own scent. It has been scientifically developed to help guide you to your fragrance family. Are you fruity, floral, herby, leafy, woodsy or spicy? Take Urban Botanic's online test and find out!

When I took the test, I came out a herby with some woodsey!
then I went about making a custom scent, my husband even got into it and wanted me to make one for him. He came up with the name "old print shop"
