Wacky Wednesday Cards, New Best Creations, Karen Foster & Elizabeth Crafts

2012-01-31T20:25:00.000-08:00

Hi Everyone,

There is so much going on this week. First off, if you are taking Laura's class, the class will get started around 11:15. Please bring your own Copic markers, inks and stamps if you have them. The class will run faster if you have some of the supplies.

We are closing at 6:00 PM on Friday for a private event.

This is our Top Secret Envelope Redemption weekend. We have had lots of questions about the envelopes so hopefully I will answer all your questions.

* Envelopes must be sealed until opened by a store employee. Open envelopes will not be honored.
* You may only redeem 1 envelope you earned. They are not transferable to a friend.
* Only 1 envelope can be redeemed per person during the redemption days.
* If you earned more than 1 envelope, you may open all the envelopes with our staff and pick the prize you prefer.

It has been a crazy few days with lots of new deliveries. Lisa and I have ordered lots of wonderful new products including Fancy Pants, Jillibean Soup, Memory Box (What's in the Box is shipping in 10 days!), Little Yellow Bicycle and many more! Some of our early orders are now here and My Mind's Eye is arriving tomorrow.

Wacky Wednesday Cards
We will be getting a late start on our cards on Wednesday due to Laura's class. The cards will be available after 1:00 PM thru Friday afternoon. All just $2 each.

Lisa Halstead designed a card and a layout for you.

A giant order of Elizabeth Crafts arrived. I can't believe all the stickers!

We have many Flopseys in stock including Truffles Flopsey. He won't be here for long.

Lots of new Best Creations Glitter Papers. The spring line is filled with delicate flowers and beautiful colors.

The travel papers have to be seen in person. They only glittered the titles to make them stand out.

Wacky Wednesday Cards & Our Customers have Dared to Share

Hi Everyone,

It's that time of the week for some card making. Wacky Wednesday Cards will be available all day Wednesday and Thursday just $2 each.

We have had a great response to our Dare to Share Challenge. We always knew that our customers were creative and now we get to show off some of their great work. First up is Vanessa. Many of you have met her on Demo Day and have seen first hand her fun projects. I like how she used the French Pastry Doily Die for the base of the design and coiled up the rick rack to mimic a flower.

Gigi used border punches and pop dots to give her card some great depth.

Debra D. added a fun cupid's arrow and a bit of bling to her card.

Maria F. combined the challenge items with a fun Valentine paper.

Marsha D. added some hearts, nice music paper and stickles. Everything is better with Stickles.

Paulette T. thought outside the card and created a pretty candle holder. The Memory Box flourish die was a fun piece to layer with the hearts. I love how she covered the heart with the ric rack. Very Creative.

Trish B. added some buttons for shine and texture.

Laura added some great tone on tone stamping, faux stiches and pearls for her elegant card.

Hi Everyone,

Our huge order of Elizabeth Crafts has arrived. I'll have photos tomorrow after we pull all the special orders. Believe me, I ordered a lot of glitter!

Cotton Tail from We R Memory Keepers has arrived. It may seem a bit early to start thinking about Easter, but these pretty pastels are brightening my day.

Our New Design Team wall is featuring all the New Valentine Goodies.

Since we don't have any Valentine creations yet, here are a couple of bits of frame inspiration to tide you thru. First up is Gina Adolph. She made this cool decoupaged frame for her daughter for Christmas. She used one of my favorite techniques, tearing paper. I love the Little Black Dress papers that she layered in a seemingly random pattern. The black and cream tones work great with her daughters photo.

Next we have a cute frame from Gina Painter. Her daughter had her whip up some fun frames for her friends for Christmas. My daughter loved this one so much, she copied it and gave it to one of her friends for Christmas too. Gina used the Fancy Pants Beach Babe line. Using the same paper line that matched her embellishments made this frame a snap to make. We carry a variety of sizes and shapes of these chipboard frames from ANW Creswood.

The 3/50 Project - Pick 3. Spend $50.

2011-11-19T19:50:00.001-08:00

The 3/50 Project - Pick 3. Spend $50.

**All it takes is just one person to start a trend...will that person be you?

When you think of the community that you live and shop in, there are 3 very important things you need to consider.
1) What 3 independently owned businesses would you miss if they disappeared?
Is it us - Photo Scraps? What about your mom n' pop grocery store that you "just run into" occasionally for those last minute items? How about the cute little clothing boutique where you bought your favorite outfit? Or the cool little pet supply store on the corner where you got those awesome toys that your animals just adore?

2) Did you know if half the employed population spent $50 each month in locally owned independent businesses, it would generate more than $42.6 billion in revenue. Imagine the positive impact if 3/4 the employed population did that!

3) Are you aware that for every $100 spent in locally owned independent stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll, and other expenditures. If you spend that money in a national chain store, only $43 stays here. If you shop online, nothing comes home!

The 3/50 project idea is to commit $50 each month to locally owned businesses, total. Maybe that means rethinking where you currently invest your money, opting to pick up that birthday card or pair of jeans in a locally owned business instead of the big box you’ve been going to. Or maybe it means eating out just once a month because you realize slamming the brakes on all spending stalls economic recovery. It’s just that simple.

This Project isn’t an “all or nothing” campaign that insists consumers stop shopping in chains or franchises. Instead, the message is about balance-—of the money you currently spend each month. We simply ask you to redirect an affordable $50 back to the locally owned independent businesses that have been forgotten of late. Just as there are things in a locally owned store that you can’t find in a big box, there are also things in a big box you can’t find in a locally owned store. We simply need to think about where our dollars are best invested, consider the greater amount of revenue local businesses return to the community, then purchase accordingly. Otherwise, local economies suffer irreparable harm - as we have seen lately with lots of empty buildings and stories on the news.
