I actually took a couple of days off.... to go to a scrapbook convention of course.

Hi everyone,

I spent a couple of days down in Chantilly at the Great American Scrapbook Convention. It was fun running into a number of my ladies shopping and taking classes. Of course, some classes were better than others but I was pretty happy with the ones I took. I even learned some new tricks and found a couple of new products to order. I was so impressed with Maya Road's embellishments that I ordered a bunch of cool things today.

I get asked all the time if we are going to do a collection of peoples unwanted scrapbook supplies to donate to charity. One of our wonderful customers found a great charity that would love some scrapbooking supplies, the National Institute of Health - Children's Cancer Ward. From now until July 7, we will be putting out some empty boxes for you to fill. I know I can't wait to get rid of some of my stash. Let's fill some boxes for a good cause.

Here is this week's Creative Cafe to go layout. I just love this green and wanted a fun summery color. Just $3 at the Creative Cafe bar.
