New Mini Book Class photos and new Fancy Pants

Hi everyone,

Did you hear the squeals of delight echo thru Eldersburg as we unpacked our My Mind's Eye class sample that arrived from Fed-Ex today? The mini book sample is here and is packed with overlays, glittery papers, decorated chipboard and bling.

I'm so excited that KC is coming out here from Utah to teach 3 classes using the brand new My Mind's Eye Laundry Line Collection. He was nice enough to send me some photos of the card class until the actual samples get here next week. The cards have a great Shabby Chic look to them. I'll love sending these out to friends.

We will be having a special crop on Friday night September 26th in honor of KC's visit. He is bringing us special crop gifts from My Mind's Eye and he is staying for the whole crop. Since it's a special night, we will be serving chocolate fondue. Advance sign up is required. Crop Fee $15

Hi Everyone,

We did our drawing for the $75 gift certificate for people who completed the Maryland Scrapbook Store Passort Tour. Congratulations to Barb Wishard. Barb has already been in and had fun spending her prize. We now have the albums in the store for anyone who completed the tour but did not receive their albums. We got lots of great feedback and are looking forward to participating in the tour again next year.

New Class photos and more new Products

Hi Everyone,
It was nice to be off for a week but I missed being in the store and seeing all the new goodies and new projects being created. We really enjoyed the water park at Massanutten and even took a tubing trip down a river. I'll have photos eventually (real film in a water camera). In the evenings, I was able to get a bunch of little scrapping projects done. Really, that is what I do to relax. There is never enough time to scrap while home or in the store.

I almost didn't recognize the store since we got so many new items in while I was gone. There was a huge Creative Imaginations order with the new School and Halloween lines. Lots of new Maya Road with new mini books and office sheers. The new calendar sheers are too cool for words (and in my bag).

Here is one of the mini books I made while on vacation. I used Piggy Tales Slide book and My Mind's Eye Confetti collection. I wasn't sure how easy it would be to do the sliding doors but the template included really helped with the cutting. First, cut your paper 7 1/2 x 8 inches. Then, line up the template on top of the paper. I used an exacto knife to cut out the pieces. The windows measure 2 x 3, so I cut my photos just a bit smaller to fit inside the window. The finishing touch was to add the buttons and bling to the edge of the slide. Now, the doors slide very easy. I'm not planning on doing this book as a class because it took me about 4 hours to do and that is too long for a class.
