Circus

My mom took Kaitlyn to the Circus when they were in town, so I thought it would be nice to send her a cute Thank You Card. I had an idea in my head, but I wasn't sure I would be able to find the images on my Pazzle, but sure enough there was a circus tent and a cute elephant. I think I'm going to cut out another tent for Kaitlyn's scrapbook. If you need a circus tent for your scrapbook come by the store, you can pick out the paper you like and have it cut to the size you want.

Jan Ken Po Gakko Craft Fair

Just another reminder ladies, tomorrow Saturday, September 25th (9am-3:30pm) is the Gakko Craft Fair here in Elk Grove. Get some of your Christmas shopping done early with very unique gifts. Did I mention Scrap-N-Stamp will be there? The girls have been busy this year creating some new things for the craft fair, so you have to go check them out. My favorite by far is the memo boards painted and decorated in fabulous papers from the store. The boards are really neat they feature a metal surface where you can post notes with magnets and a cork board section. There are a limited number of boards so you better get there early if you want one.

Stop by and visit Debbie and receive a 40% off one item coupon to use a Scrap-n-Stamp on Saturday as well!!!

Do you have a daughter that loves Juicy Couture?

Then you have to come to the store and check out this new line of paper!!! It from TPC Studio and it's called Girlfriends. Here are a couple of pictures, it's much sassier in person :-) Perfect for party invites, birthday cards or scrappin' those teenage years. You may not want to remember those teenage years now, but someday you will want to look back and laugh.

Two new BoBunny Collections....

We just received The Peacock Lane and The Block Party Collections!!! Check out the pictures below, we also have some of the coordinating stickers and embellishments.

City by the Bay

New San Francisco paper and chipboard embellishments from Paper House Productions!! Perfect for Scrapbooking a trip to San Francisco or for school projects. We also have Washington D.C. paper and stickers. When your kids are doing a report don't forget to come by the store and see what we have :-)

Another great collection from TPC Studio.

We just received the Undersea Adventures Collection from TPC Studio. The School of Fish and Bubbles papers are actually metallic, they are very cute.

School of Fish

Follow the Yellow Brick Road.....

You guessed it, we have Wizzard of Oz paper and stickers from Paper House Productions. This would be perfect for me, My girlfriend and I just went to San Francisco and saw "Wicked"!!! Or this would be great for a Halloween page, which by the way is just around the corner.

National Grandparents Day

Sunday, September 12th is National Grandparents Day!!! So don't forget to thank those wonderful Grandparents that love and spoil your precious children. Maybe send them a Thank You card. Come by Scrap-n-Stamp for some great pre-made cards.

Creativity

I'm currently going back to school for my MBA. I was doing one of my reading assignments and I came across this in my text book:

Research suggests that we are more creative when we’re in good moods, so if
we need to be creative we should do things that make us happy. Perhaps that is
listening to music we enjoy, eating foods we like, watching funny movies, or
socializing with others.32 There is also evidence that suggests being around others
who are creative can actually make us more inspired, especially if we’re creatively
“stuck.” (Organization Behavior By Stephen P. Robbins, Timothy A. Judge)

This made me think about Scrap-n-Stamp and what a great place it is for inspiration.

New Back 2 School Line...

Just in from Best Creations the Back2School line, it's supper cute. It was a must have for me since my little Kaitlyn just started her first year of pre-school and I'm super excited to Scrap the memories!! We also received some basic glitter paper from Best Creations, it will look great with a wide variety of papers. We currently have yellow, black and two shades of pink available. It reminds me of the Bo Bunny double Dot, except it has glitter!!! You can't go wrong with that. You can see the picture below, but it is sooo much cuter in person.
