Hockey

HOCKEY has begun and if you have a page you want to complete, I have found a quick selection of papers from our sports section to show you. We have plenty of embellishments and stickers and more to make a stunning page. Not to mention our huge selection of school name die cuts. If we don't have it on the wall, just ask and we can make a custom cut with your school name and school colors.

Something new in the store!

Something old...something new

Check out the other new things we have in the store this week.

Don't forget about our sale on FRIDAY the day after Thanksgiving!

Details of the sale are previously posted below here or can be found at the website.

Here we come a WASSAILing

Have you seen the WASSAIL line form Basic Grey?  Who doesn't love a little Basic Grey?

Since we are in the middle of the hunting season, I thought a quick post about our gorgeous hunting papers would be appropriate. We have great papers from Sugar Tree and Up North and more to choose from. Great scenes of duck hunting, deer, bear, pheasant and more. Come see our selection.

Product Highlights

The best part about working at a scrapbook and rubber stamp store is seeing all the goodies come in when they arrive (and putting a few in my "gotta buy" pile). But, since I don't actually work every single day, I DO miss some items as they pass through our system. Below I found a set of papers I thought I would share today. The colors on these just jumped at me.

Nice papers for great Military pages, 4th of July pages and more!

And this is the back side of these papers.

Piggy Tales

A few cute papers from Piggy Tales arrived last week....

Just in time for Christmas...

How pretty are these papers?  Yummy looking trees on metallic finished paper.  See the glitter detail in the trees?  There is a beautiful acetate overlay that goes with this too, but it doesn't photograph well....you'll have to see it in the store.

Card Buffet

It's like a smorgasbord, but with card making materials...and just as yummy!

This is an open class that will be on Wednesday (November 19th) from 2-3 pm.  Stock up on your cards.  There will be a variety of cards to choose from and you can create as many or as few as you wish for just $1 each!  Just bring your favorite adhesive and be ready to craft. You don't need to sign up, just come and create. There are limited supplies, so once they are gone, they are GONE.

OOPS

OK, so my calendar is a bit off....I had my December calendar out when I was putting November dates on the blog......silly me!

So, just to clarify.....the Friday Deer Hunter Widows sale is Friday November 21st...not the 19th (which is obviously is Wednesday!) like I posted previously.  I have fixed it so I don't look like a complete idiot (too late right....lol)

Don't forget to check out the classes we have coming up on our class board (those dates are posted correctly) ...lol  We had a great time in the Tri-fold class I taught this afternoon.  Thanks for a fun classroom experience ladies!!

PAZZLES DESIGN TEAM

Have I mentioned that I made the PAZZLES DESIGN TEAM again for 2008-2009?  I have been so busy with other things....like making page kits, card kits, Doggie Bags, going to kids sporting events and just plain working that I forgot to mention it on the blog.  My first project is due shortly (which is why I am just remembering that I made the team again) and the new things we are working with this month are FUN!  My first project will be a kit available at the store soon, details to come.....

Pretty papers all in a row

Bo-bunny Christmas

Flair Christmas

Doggie, doggie, where's the doggie?

Birthday paper from Scenic Route.

Just a sample of the things we got in our boxes last week.... re-orders, new stuff, you name it, we were buried in boxes again this week!

Design Team projects

I have had this question posed to me several times....What does the Design Team do each month?  The team is given a project theme to work with each month.  This could be working with a specific Manufacturers or a certain Season or other event.  They also get $10 in store credit (or product and store credit) to spend on the project each month plus a 20% on all their purchases during their tenure as a DT member.  This month they were each given a chipboard album to work with because we have so many great albums to choose from and they come up with fabulous ideas you can use to make your own album.  You can see their projects each month on our Design Team board near the checkout desk.

Does being a Design Team member sound like something you might like to try?  We will be looking for another team in January, so start thinking about the fun you could have being a DT member.  Get projects done, get a discount, and have your work displayed for all to admire.....sounds like fun to me!

Design Team

It's getting to be that time again....but you have a while to get your pages ready for this one.  We will be looking for our next design team soon, so get your crafting caps on.  More details for that to come in later posts.

FISKARS Demonstration on November 20th from 2-6.  Learn some new techniques with FISKARS tools from one of our 3 Certified FISKARS Demonstrators!  We love FISKARS and you will too.

Black Friday Sales

Love to shop the big sales on the Friday after Thanksgiving?  We will be opening early to start our sale.  8am to 5 pm on Friday.  

More details to come...or check out our newsletter for those details.
