All Day Crop- Friday, Dec. 30th

We hope you had a wonderful Christmas day with family and friends. For those of you still celebrating, tomorrow is our all day crop and we have a couple spots left. Call to register (and make sure you get a response to know you are registered).

You don't have to be scrapbooking to register, you may be a card maker, or even a knitter. Everyone (adult), is welcome to work on any project. Do you have thank you cards to make, this is a great time to complete those. 9 am to 11pm for $35.00

Designer's Corner- Kimmay

All ready for some great photos on Christmas day? Don't forget to charge those batteries. When you are ready to begin scrap-booking those memories, Kimmay has some ideas to share in these pages for Christmas. All of the pages were done using TaDa Designs paper, "Frozen Tozen".

Whether it's a cute or vintage looking page, both can be achieved with these papers and die cuts.

Designer's Corner Anita Vowell

Do you need a last minute gift idea? Anita has made a candle with paper (remove before burning), which is a lovely homemade gift. Matching cards and candle are all made with Simple Stories "Generations" series. The paper is Title Strip Elements, which is usually for scrap booking titles, but look how much you can do with it. We hope you are enjoying your Holiday time!

Designer Corner Teresa Meyer

Still needing some card ideas for last minute Christmas cards? Teresa Meyer created these lovely cards with Melissa Frances, Deck the Halls paper & die cuts for Christmas.

Also Making Memories Noel series (music notes), and another MF die cut.

The kraft paper with snowflakes is Jillibean, Cloves and more of the Melissa Frances paper.

The solid card stock is Tim Holtz Distress Coredinations. We have the entire line of colors and I never get tired of it. So many colors to choose from. The last card is made using the TaDa line of Frozen Tozen paper and die cuts.

You can follow Teresa's blog too, which is listed at the bottom right side, called Creative Endeavors.

Designer's Corner-Melody Poff

We have some very talented ladies whom we have asked to design some lovely cards, pages and 3D items. For this week, I will try to post something every couple of days. So check back often to look at what your friends have designed.

We will start with a fall page Melody Poff made, then move on to Christmas. Her fall page is with her beloved dogs, using Bella Blvd paper "Just Leafy". Then for Christmas, using "Lost & Found" -Santa Paper, is her older looking oval photo layout. She used extra glitter on the belt and around some edges to pop it even more. Finally her Snowflake page using My Little Yellow Bicycle "Winter Plaid". (The flip side has a blue plaid). The matting is also MLYB die cuts.

Stampavie and more still arriving

Have you completed your Christmas shopping? If you are still looking for that special something for the paper crafter in your life, we have some goodies that are"must have" items.

First the Limited Edition Distress Ink for Christmas from Tim Holtz, (Ranger). It is normally $18.00, now on sale at 40% off.

Also we love the 6x6 pads of paper from a variety of paper companies. As a card maker, they are good for smaller projects and as a scrap-booker, you get a variety of designs to try.

Here are some of the Christmas 6x6 pads of paper we have in.

Last, but not least, are the Stampavie cuties we have.

I don't know about you, but I am still trying to get some cards stamped to send out. If you are still working on yours, come in and join us . Call if you can't make it before closing-we might just be staying over.

Snow Writer

We also have Snow Writer in 2 styles. One is plain snow and the other has glitter in it. These are easy to use, just squirt it out like glue and let dry. Here is a sample card I made using the plain. The cocoa cup & greeting stamps are Impression Obsession and back ground stamp is Hero Arts. I used Tim Holtz Distress Paints for colors on background.

Just arriving ....

We had a few orders come in with some fun things.

Loralie Christmas stamps, CANDI in many colors, and some Just Right Stamps.

M&T Week of Dec. 7th.

This extra M&T will be available until kits are gone, then a new one put out. (This one is besides the 4 cards you can make anytime we are open this month.)

We wanted to use some non traditional colors and this paper is actually not even a Christmas paper. It is a Stella & Rose paper from My Mind's Eye. (Who doesn't love Stella & Rose?!)

The embossing folder is an older Cuttlebug design, which I sanded a bit to pop the design. The greeting, ribbon, card stock and punches are from Stampin' UP!

Don't forget this Friday is LAte Create and this Saturday is Stamping. We have 2 classes going on that day. One is a Snowman card class and then Rebecca is back with Iris Folding with Photos at 1pm. Call to register.

M&Ts for December

We have a few extra M&Ts going on this month, to help you get ready for Christmas. Each M&T is $3.00 or do all 4 for $10.00. These 4 will be out until the kits run out and then we will replace it with more card ideas. Get going on your Christmas cards. Here are the 4 kits we have available. Just an FYI, the ladies making these cards yesterday finished in under an hour.
