Just Drop in tickets are just a $1 per card. Jill whipped up some beautiful cards for this demo and there will be lots of copic coloring.

Demo Day is Saturday!

Join us for 6 great projects all just $2 each. We will have a variety of cards and layouts for you to create. We do the cutting and you do the gluing. We provide glue sticks so if you prefer tape, please bring a labeled tape runner. If you get to the store by 3:00 PM, you will have enough time to do all the demos. If you complete all 6 demos, you will receive a coupon for 10% off your purchases for the day.

This layout by Lisa Hetrick uses the fun Gigle Grove Trees from Unity and the New Flower Soft.

Lisa Hetrick Classes this week

Hi all,

I'm coping this post from the Designt Team Blog. Lisa Hetrick has Copic 101 on Wednesday night and Memory Box cards on Thursday night.

Just one more thing.... There's still ROOM in my class coming up next week. We are debuting the NEW MEMORY BOX holiday line of stamps, papers and card bases. In my class, you'll create all of these cards and use my new Unity Holiday sentiments. Of course we are using Copics in this class, too. Oh and bling. Did I mention the Bling. They are HUGE and perfect for cards and scrapbooking. SIGN UP. CALL NOW. I see you.... Pick up the phone and call the store.

Lisa Hetrick photo from CHA

Hi Everyone,

Some of you may have heard that Lisa Hetrick went to CHA to make an appearance at the Unity Booth at CHA. The coolest part was that Unity designed their booth around Lisa's Shine On! stamp set. I love those t-shirts too.

Lots of new products

All the new My Mnd's Eye is in the store! I love these new lines. Oh, the best news is that KC from MME is coming to visit in September! Once I have details I'll post them.

Greater Maryland Scrapbook Tour

Hi Everyone,

I am going to post all the passport tour pages and instructions in this post. Please be sure to remin us to give you your pages. It's not that we don't want to give them to you, it's that we forget since it is not something we do everyday.




Cover Instructions
Memory Treasures
410 663-6726
info@memorytreasures.com

Materials Provided:
1 12x12 sheet patterned paper
½ sheet (6x12) Blue patterned paper
Stickers
2 tags

Materials needed, not supplied:
ColorBox fluid chalks – Amber Clay and Azure (or similar colors)
VersaColor pigment ink – Sage (or similar color)

Instructions:
1. Cut the 12x12 sheet of paper to 8x8. Cut paper so that the word “Explore” is across the top.
2. Adhere to the chipboard cover. (I used Mod Podge)
3. After the paper dries completely, use a craft knife to cut around the “Maryland’ map. Sand any rough edges.
4. From the same patterned paper, cut a 4x8 strip and tear approximately ¼ in from the length. Ink the edges if desired. ( I used Sage)
5. Cut the blue 6 x12 strip so that you have a 4 3/4” x 8” strip.
6. (NOTE: before adhering, make sure words are right side up/facing appropriate direction. – I’m sure no one would make this error but just in case….) Adhere the blue strip to the back cover (side with holes). Adhere the inked patterned paper so that it overlaps the blue.
7. From the remaining blue paper, tear an 8” strip so that it approximately 5/8” wide. Ink the torn edge with Azure. Adhere the strip to the left side of the front cover.
8. ModPodge the front and back covers and allow to dry completely. After drying, a second coat may be applied if desired.
9. Using a piece of the leftover blue paper, cut a tag shape – 2 ¾” x 1 5/8”. Ink the reverse side (white) with Sage and Azure.
10. Using the Amber Clay, ink the outer edges of the tag you just made as well as the 2 dark tan tags provided. Ink edges of BOTH sides. Select stickers from the provided sheet and adhere one to each side of each tag. ( I choose our “family trip” and “journey” for the blue tag. I used “Where”, “Life’s Moments”, “A adventure” and the “fleur de leis”.)
11. Punch holes in the tags and place on the jump rings.
12. Ink edges of both covers with Amber Clay.

Here is the two page spread from Great Scraps in Millersville.



Here is our Page from Photo Scraps. I edged all the edges with Chestnut Roan Chalk ink and used pop dots to lift up a few of the stickers.



Here are the pages from Scrapbooks & More in Frederick.



The final two pages are from Scrapmania in Hagerstown.

Finally a blog post!

Hi All,
I know it's been forever. Once I got back from GASC, which was great, the family went to OC for the weekend. I actually stayed home and cleaned and scrapped, or maybe the other way around. Now we are in Massanutten. We have a friend staying at the house to keep our poor cat company. She never sees us anymore.

As we were leaving our hotel on Sunday afternoon, a black bear was crossing the parking lot too. I did a major double take and did what any respectable scrapper would do. Ran back in and grabbed my camera. I was stalking a bear, in a car, with the window down, so the photos would be clearer. My husband was worried about the window being down, silly man, doean't he know the photo is worth the risk.
