Hi Everyone,

New Best Creations Glitter Papers

Frantage Wacky Wednesday Card, New Disney & Coupon Savings Card

Hi Everyone,

We have had two more days of frantic ordering.  I can't believe that I needed to place another huge Memory Box order.  You ladies sure love those dies.  There were lots of other great things  ordered too from Fancy Pants, BasicGrey, Moxxie, Websters Pages and lots of new Ravens papers that should be in before the Super Bowl.

Wacky Wednesday Cards
We have two new cards this week and you can even play with some of the new Frantage glitters and embossing powders.  I know I said I was done with the Gothic Windows, I had a vision of how to use the new embossing powders with the frames.   Available All day Wednesday Thru Saturday this week. Just $2 each.

New Disney Papers

Blank binders with 12 pockets and tags from Pincone Press.

If you were in on Demo Day, you may have talked to my daughter Kirstin about these fun necklaces and bracelets.  She purchased them from Mission Ethiopia and is planning to go on a Mission Trip to go visit the women who made these bracelets.   All the money she raises selling these bracelets will be used for her Mission Trip.  To read more about this amazing organization, Click Here.

Monday January 28th  6-8 PM
Join Tracy for this fun butterfly frame and learn how to paint with your inks. $22

Demo Day Rewind 12-5 - Please look to see which projects are available

Hi Everyone,

Thank you to everyone that came out to Demo Day today.  I could tell that you are all ready to get creative now that the holidays are over.  What we did not anticipate was how many of you would come play today.   While we can usually tell which cards will be the biggest hits, we had no idea that Alice's two cards would be so popular.  We are very sorry if you did not get to make your favorite cards so we decided that we will be remaking both of Alice's cards for next month's demo day.  If you would like to reserve either of her cards, please let us know and we will put them aside for you.  By reserving a card kit or two, it will help us decide how many of these cards we will need to make for next month.     

For Demo Day rewind tomorrow we only have a few of two cards left and all of Gina's layouts.  We will have all our available Wacky Wednesday cards out and two new cards.  Here are all the cards for Sunday. All just $2, while supplies last.

Lisa Halstead used a stencil and Tattered Angels for this card.

Some of you may know that my husband Shon is a huge Ravens fan and so are most of the staff (except for two Pittsburg lovers)  I really am an equal opportunity employer.  Gina Adolph has a fun Ravens Layout to inspire you for all those great party pictures you will have from this weeks game.   We have a special Ravens Fan offer for Sunday and a Ravens Craft night planned.  Keep reading for details.

 

Discounts can not be combined with Bag Lady or any other discount.  Discounts do not apply to classes, crops or Silhouette machine.

New Memory Box Dies & Demo Day Saturday 11-4 PM

Hi Everyone,

Our huge memory Box dies have arrived and I remembered to order the Poppy dies.   Don't forget to join us for Demo Day on Saturday or Demo Day Rewind on Sunday.  

New Taylored Expressions and Copic storage trays

Taylored Expressions arrived.  I know a few people were looking for Moka Wanda.

We had some requests for these Copic storage trays that keep the markers organized right on your desk.

New Echo Park, Ravens Playoff Special & Demo Day Saturday

Hi Everyone,

 We were so happy our Copic reorder arrived!  Remember, we are still selling our Copic Sketch markers for $6.99 even though the MSRP went up to $7.99.   We also got a great new line in from Echo Park called Scoot.  I received word today that Memory Box shipped my order out so watch our blog or Facebook page for their arrival.

For those of you who have been keeping an eye on what's been happening at the Craft & Hobby Association trade show, you know some very cool things are on their way. I am fairly confident that many of you have projects you know you need to finish before you start something new. Might I suggest registering for our weekend crop, and getting a bunch of those things out of the way so you are ready for the classes and ideas to come? Or, visit us any time we don't have classes and crops going on. Seriously. We're fine with you just coming to work. Don't feel guilty! You're helping us with a key part of our mission by doing that! We want to inspire memories through scrapbooking, and frankly, that doesn't happen if those memories are sitting in boxes.  The bottom line is we are here to cheer you on, to remove creative blocks, to help you feel inspired. 

Wacky Wednesday Cards, Demo Day this Saturday & Crop Saturday Night

Hi Everyone,

We have some great cards for you this week for Wacky Wednesday and don't forget Demo Day this Saturday. We have been receiving a lot of requests before Demo Day to hold kits for customers since a lot of our cards only will have 50 kits and may run out. In an effort to reward those customers that attend Demo Day, any special orders for the projects will now be $2.50 just like our Creative Cafe card kits.   Additionally, the kits will not be pulled until the end of Demo Day, again so those in attendance have first dibs on the projects. Therefore, special orders for Demo Day projects are not guaranteed. We are sorry if you cannot come out to play with us on Demo Day! Hopefully, we will see you next month!"

Wacky Wednesday Cards
Tina has been going card crazy creating three new special Valentine's cards for you.   The chocolates look so real.  These cards will be available all day Wednesday thru Friday.  Just $2 each.

Our newest instructor Simone is joining us on Demo Day and making two great cards.   She will be doing a spot glitter technique on both cards.

Tracy will be using two of the new Stampendous stamps on her two Demo Day Cards.

Check out all the great new stamps, embossing powders and micas from Stampendous.

New BasicGrey, New Stampendous & New Impression Obsession Stamps and Dies Catalogs

Hi Everyone,

There are so many new things going on at the store right now so be sure to scroll down to read about everything that is happening.   Lisa is coming in early Friday morning to check in a giant box of Stampendous new goodies!  

 This year we are going to have a Special Coupon Savings Card for our wonderful customers.   It costs $10, but you can buy it for $5 with a $30 merchandise purchase or Get it for Free with a $50 purchase! 

























(The cost of the card does not qualify towards the Free Stickles in January.)

It may seem like I haven't been around much, but that is because I have been up to my eyeballs buried in CHA previews.  We love this time of year but it can be so hard to predict what the new hot products are going to be. The new paper samples from Bo Bunny and Reminisce are here and we will have them out for you to look at this weekend.  Let us know your favorites so we know what to order.  

I was so excited with the new Impression Obsession new Spring stamps and dies, I just had to get these online catalogs out for you to see.    The Bunnies are amazing.  There are  great scenes to color and I can't wait to play with the trellis die set.  We will be placing this order on Monday, so please call or email us your special orders so you can be sure to get the things you love.

Spring Holiday Roundup

This Spring Holiday Roundup supplement includes some of our best selling stamps from previous years. We've included stamp numbers under each card sample. All individual stamps are available as either traditional wood mounted or as cling mounted stamps.

2013 Winter CHA Die Supplement


We are excited to share with you our 2013 Winter CHA Die Supplement, a preview of our new spring die collection. This makeshift supplement shows all our dies including the new release for CHA. We are in the process of having a full color catalog printed with even more releases that will be released in 4-6 weeks.

Some of our dies have matching stamps. We have pictured those stamps with the dies.

Our dies are made to be used with tabletop die cut machines that will handle wafer thin dies. Some of the dies are extremely detailed and may work best with additional shims.

The dies will be ready to ship January 25th.   Click here for 2013 Winter Die Supplement
