New items at Scrap -n- Stamp

Just a reminder that we have received some new items from Boxer and My Favorite Things. For those animal lovers out there, we have Dog and Cat acrylic stamp sets and fun charms.
And from My Favorite Things we now have in some of the new stamp sets: "Bunny Slippers" which would be great to make cards for someone who is under the weather or just to say "hello" and remember to take the time to rest and relax(especially all of the busy moms). Those of you who are bunny fans, we have in the "Gardner Flopsy" and "I'm Pullin' For You" sets.
From one of the girls here who says that she is not a "scrapper", Chas in particular, created an incredibly fun “It’s a Pirate’s Life For Me” 12x12 page.

The paper and stickers she used are from Creative Imaginations new line of Pirate items.

Don't forget, on Mondays we have FREE Make -n- Take cards which the girls have been busily putting together so come by while they last.

Life's a Beach

Here's my layout for this month's challenge. I love this paper by sassafras from their "Sunshine Lollipop" line. It's so cheerful and fun! I think it is perfect for these pics of my beach bums playing on the beach in Hawaii.

The humidity here in Kansas feels like Hawaii. Yet Kansas sure doesn't look like Hawaii! But when I look at these pictures I can almost feel the sand, hear the waves, and smell the salt water and suntan oil. Aaahhh. Bliss!

8/7/08 - Happy Birthday Cori!

I’m borrowing Marilea’s creation to wish my daughter Cori a very Happy 9th Birthday. We went to Disneyland this past weekend for her birthday and I wanted to make sure the let all of you know that my little girl is growing up to be a sassy teenager (already!). She drives me crazy at times but then I look at her...she’s a little mini me ;-). So for my baby girl Cori, wishing you a very Happy 9th Birthday! XOXO!

August Challenge - Use a sketch

This month we are turning to our favorite sketch gal, Becky Fleck, for inspiration. Your challenge is to create a layout using this pagemap...



Or create a card using this pagemap...



Here is Marilea's take on the pagemap...she turned it on it's side! This card is simply beautiful!


I'll post my layout later this week.

8/5/08 - 15 minutes of fame for Scrap -n- Stamp...

More like 40 seconds..but that works for us! Yesterday, this guy comes into Scrap -n- Stamp and Debbie recognized him right away...it was Dana Howard from News 10. He wanted to see if we wouldn't mind being interviewed for a hot topic about the Governor "possibly" raising sales taxes and wanted to get feedback from local businesses. Perfect timing, Glen had just gotten back from a sales meeting and looked nice. As for me, couldn't they have given me a warning...where's the make up crew ;-). So we thought it would be some 1 second clip, but it was a pretty long news clip...and the first to come on at 11PM last night. In case you missed it...check it out. We're just excited that we made it on the news :-)

A Penny for the Governor's Thoughts on Sales Tax Rumblings
The Governor's office declined to confirm word that Schwarzenegger wants to close the $15 billion budget gap by increasing the state sales tax by a penny.

Stay tuned...

The August Challenge will be posted very soon...I haven't forgotten. Really. :)

Mini Golf Anyone??

I just love this new Karen Foster paper and sticker line. I think it is perfect to scrap your last miniature golf outing, or if you are having a miniature golf birthday party this paper would be great for the invites.
