Great Digital Site! att: Hybrids!

Just found the most fantastic site on digital scrap booking and I had to share it with those of you that incorporate digital work.  The site is Scrapbook Dimensions Magazine.  Check it out it is fantastic.

Updates/ Ideas

The days are just flying past. I had to run to the grocery store and was surprised to see all the Holiday stuff out in the front of the store! Guess, I don't get to the grocery store to often 't and I am telling you something you didn't know but I was sure taken back. Then it hit me, yeah

Thanksgiving is Thursday. Like I really did need to be reminded.

Well their are some major things going on in the store and I wanted to keep you all up to date.

Needless to say I will be closed on Thanksgiving Day and also on Black Friday. Saturday will be Black Saturday for Country Scrappin. WE WILL BE HAVING A STORE WIDE SALE! Make sure to come by. Look for more messages via email if you are registered with the store or check out the Blog site if not.

The other thing I wanted to tell you about involves some web sites I have been visiting as of late. One site is owned by a friend of mine Al he is extremely talented and is a digital artist. He has this fantastic web site that you can go to and join. He not only gives you great downloads he has created but also allows you to use them. Check out his site it is : www://actionfx.com.

If your into digital that is the place to go. While I am on the subject of digital, one of my customers came in the store the other day for epson 12 x 12 copies of her scrapbook. The results were absolutely amazing! She was very pleased and so was I. She hadn't told me that she scrapbooked digitally and as I was printing up her beautiful pages I began to look real close at them. That is when I thought they might be digital. It about blew me away. In any case if you do digital and you need to print them out for what ever reason, come by and give my store a shot at printing out your copies.

Other sites that I recommend are: VintageCollage- get some free vintage pictures, scrapbooksetc.com- has a lot of holiday ideas going on, check them frequently.

Bye for now,

Donna

CHRISTMAS CARDS

I will have a class featuring Holiday Cards on the second Tuesday in the month of December. For those of you that can't make it or want some ideas on other cards to created check out the following web site located at ScrapbookEtc.com.  They have several really cute cards that you can make.  In addition don't forget to check out the scrapbook area.  This area includes a  number of different styles and sized remade books that you can save shipping and handling on if you agree to put in my code(ACCESS CODE 373UJV5XRT) and pick it up at the scrap book store.  If you would like to see an example of the finished project come in to the store and see the demo.  These books are reasonable and show that you care enough to share your life with others.

Busy Saturday in Stevi!

Today we had 2 classes at our store- and what fun we had!! First was the coupon book and at 2pm we had the Recipe Album. So many papers and people in the crop room! Always a mix for fun and good times!


What made it even more fun was that we had scrappers of all levels- including one who was brand new to scrapping and to our store! Sue, we hope you had a wonderful time at both classes!!

Classes are in the works for December already. With a request that I come in during the week. Since that is hard for me to do, but I do show up for 1st Friday's- we will try having a class during Open Crop. A flat $5 fee plus cost of your supplies. Stay tuned to see what December 5th's class will be like!

Recipe Album Class: perfect for gifting!

This class is being offered on Saturday, November 15th from 11:30am till 2pm. Cost is $10 plus supplies. A supply list will be provided at sign up. (Melissa will be teaching it.)

ACRYLIC ALBUMS

 In reading my mail this weekend I occurred to me that you all may want to check out a site that does some wonderful things with acrylic albums.  Many come into the store and are not sure what to do with them.  Hence they don't purchase them.  These albums are so great the let your imagination go wild since you can create designs on two sides, plus more!

Go to this site and check out what they are doing for inspiration.

Thanksgiving Card Making Day

Do you still need to create those Thanksgiving Cards ?  If so, come to the class on Tuesday November 11Th at 2 pm.  Create 5 cards for $10.00 that they'll love.  Forget spending all that money on cards at the local card store.  Everyone can do it !  Look for the upcoming Holiday class also coming in early December to asst you and save you $$$.   Everyone on your list will feel special!

Last Week

Last week was a very, very, busy week for us all.  Not only did you we have election day but we also had the  Wednesday night class were we made two pages for our scrap books and Friday night was First Friday and open Crop Night.   We had a house full of scrapers and stayed until 12 midnight.  We had lots of fun ! and also accomplished much. Thanks for coming and making the evening event full.

 

Are you ready for Thanksgiving?

Hi,

Is everyone ready for Turkey Day?  In asking this did you get your cards done for those near and dear to you.  I know with the internet it is some what tempting to send an email but for me and a lot of my friends and relatives this is not a personal note of communication.  It is so much better to make the card so they can see what you have done and it really shows them that they mean a lot to me.  It really only takes a few minuets more and demonstrates that you took the time to make something for them.  Sometimes those little mementos make a very big difference.  So I am repeating the card class from last Tuesday to the eleventh of November at 2 PM till 4 PM.  If you intend on coming please give me a call in the morning so I have all the kits ready.  As always bring in your ruler, paper cutter, adhesive.

Another two great classes are going to be this coming Saturday.  They are the coupon book and the recipe clipboard and folder.  It occurred to me that some of you may think well I don't need a coupon book or recipe clipboard folder.  Well these books can also be named or made into another type of book just by altering the name and purpose.  So think of all those gifts you need to get yet and think about how they may work for someone you know.

Thankful for Family & Friends

A recent store view

We gave the camera to my 10 year old son while Donna and I were discussing classes. The project for him was to take pictures of the store. These are what he came up with. He did pretty good- you see pretty much the entire store, including the crop room!
