Easter is just around the corner, it's not too early to start making Easter cards. Check out this cute card that Kim made!!! She used Imaginisce paper and cut the Easter Eggs from the Pazzel.
We are excited to announce that Lane from Lasting Impressions will be here on Thursday March 26th giving a presentation on Memory Mixer 3 for our customers. The presentation is "FREE" to all who would like to attend. Memory Mixer 3 is the newest digital scrapbooking version which Lane is excited to be able to talk about and showcase how Memory Mixer works so that you can get the most out of the program. He mentioned that if you would like to, you can bring a flashdrive with about a dozen pictures on them and he will show you how to use it with Memory Mixer 3. Also, if you have an MP3 player, bring it along with you and Lane will show you how to incorporate your favorite music or videos into your digital scrapbooks. You do not have to sign up however, if you wouldn't mind letting us know if you would like to attend that would be great because our space is somewhat limited. Thank you!!!!
Denise just created these fabulous layouts using her favorite papers from My Mind's Eye. They are part of the new Penny Lane collection which is in the store now. These colors are very vibrant in person, so come on by the store and check it out along with the other new lines in from Prima Marketing and Little Yellow Bicycle.
Once again Debbie has wowed us with her mad skills. Of course she says she is not a Scrapbooker, but no one would believe that by looking at this super cute layout she made with the Baby Safari line from My Little Yellow Bicycle. And if it's not cute enough, can you believe she made this from scraps as well?? Debbie used scraps from a chipboard book Denise made. We will be posting pictures of the chipboard book project later, it is super cute as well.
I created this layout with the new "Boys only" Line from My Minds Eye. It was very simple to create and I only used Three sheets of the printed paper, and as usual I passed my scraps on to Debbie, and she of course is making some great cards. The stars are from the same line, and they come individually, here I used pop-up Foam on the back of that stars and the title to give the page dimension. And since this layout would be for a boy, I distressed the edges of the paper, and used brown ink to give it a worn look. And of course I used my favorite machine the Pazzle to cut out the title. If you like this layout, but don't have the time to make it, come by the store, this layout as well as all the other layouts we make are for sale.
We want to challenge you to use your scraps and come up with a 12x12 scrapbook layout or a card. Use any scraps you have, embellishments to add some kick to it and last but not least...what comes right after SCRAP...n...STAMP. Include a rubber stamp image on your layout or card. If you don't have any rubber stamps, come by Scrap -n- Stamp and use any of our in house stamps for this challenge. So, submit your creation and include two things: SCRAP -n- STAMP's - sounds familiar huh :-).
All entries are dues no later then, April 18, 2009. Winners will be announced by the end of April. Have fun and good luck!
So this has to be the best part of our new house!!! I finally was able to unpack all my Scrapbooking supplies and organize my own little Scrap nook. I had all the supplies, but I needed some items to organize it all. So I made a trip to IKEA, and let me tell you they have some great items to organize your crafting area. You just have to think outside the box a little, since they are not typically used for craft storage.
Above I used a spice rack to store my buttons, brads, eyelets and other little embellishments.
Here I used a wire for hanging photo's or other things, to organize my acrylic stamps. It also great to hang finished cards or pages that you want to admire before sending or putting in your scrapbook. Remember it's spring cleaning time... Have fun organizing.
