I just came across these products and can I say that I have totally fallen in love with them. I am someone who, when I scrap or stamp, I usually "case" ideas from here, other websites, many magazines, etc.
I already have the Deluxe Cuts Colorblocking idea book (I think that's what it's called) :???: and since I love the look of colorblocking, I LOVE this book along with it's templates.
I'm just wondering if these are new products? I haven't seen them yet. Very cool idea and I can SO picture myself using them ALL THE TIME!!!
For those of you who already have them, how do you like it? Have you done any pages with it yet? Can I see?
Is this something only sold online (well I have seen it on ebay) but I'm wondering if you can get it at like ACMoore or Michael's with a coupon (cause the book and starter kit costs a pretty penny.
I have just got back into scrapbooking and really thinking HARD of buying these products.
Tell me what you think, if you have this.

I'm interested in this as well. I will be taking a class at my LSS to test this out. Seems like something that would be very helpful to me. I'm measurement challenged if there is such a term.
It looks really nice, espically the binder with the pre-designed page layouts. I really like the idea behind it. Thanks for pointing out this cool product!
They are a newer product and they should be available in at your local scrapbook store soon, if they are not there yet. I am not sure if any of the major retail chains will carry them.
My friend has a few, and we love them!!!

These are on my wish list, expensive, but they look great. I have spent all my birthday money on SU, so goodness knows when I am going to get around to getting them, but I go onto the site often and stroke the screen!
Thanks for posting this link! I think I'm going to have to get serious about my scrapbooking since the pages are starting to turn yellow in my current "bad" photo albums. This might help me get there!! :smile: Plus, I have some of the quilting templates they mentioned.
I just loaded one pages by design layout I completed this weekend. I love, love, love this system. In fact, I finally bought my last two editions for the system over the weekend, so now I can do any design in the book, as well as create a few of my own!
Oh by the way, be sure to check out each set of templates against the photo on the back of the envelope. The templates first made in June had a few manufacturing errors, but if you write Deluxe Designs, they will ship you the correct ones.
I bought several editions in August and most had to have corrections. The ones I bought over the weekend had no problems. For instance, the diamond shapes were rectangles not diamond, but now I have them! Great customer service!
I also added another layout using the same sketch on page 76 of the Pages by Design. The first layout is a heritage layout in deep rich greens, golds and rusts. The 2nd is a girly layout for my SU demo's daughter, Katherine. It's in pinks/greens. I used the same exact sketch for both layouts. The only main difference is:
~ I removed the square from lower right to allow room for the Jolee pajama's. It was Pajama Day at Katherine's school.
~ The title is not attached, so Susan (my demo) can determine if this is the title she wants.
This particular sketch is one that I am extremely fond of, and with different papers/color schemes it takes on a totally different look. I really feel that this book/templates has allowed me to go outside by "comfy zone" to create more interesting layouts.
