Making room for more dies!

 More Memory Box dies and stencils arrived today. This past weekend I decided to move all the Memory Box dies into clear storage bins as I was running out of hanging space for so many different brands and sizes; I have such a large selection of Memory Box that there wasn't much space left for anything else! Now they are very easy to flip through and find what you need and I have space to display a few other brands ... lol!  A few people have been asking about the new Tattered Lace dies. I don't plan on carrying  these dies in stock but I would be happy to special order them. If you see them on-line and would like me to get you a price, just send me an e-mail. I will be getting them from the same place I order Memory Box and Impression Obsession from. I can also order Cottage Cutz and Cheery Lynn dies from the same place and I put in an order once a month. My next order will probably go in around mid June so take a look at what these companies have to offer and let me know what you think.

Long weekend!

 Please note that the shop is open till 6 pm today and closed Saturday Sunday AND MONDAY!
Wishing everyone a happy and safe long weekend.

More class cards

Here's a cute card using Memory Box dies. I decided to use this as our third card for the last class instead of doing two of the flowerpot cards.

This weeks cards include a shaker card with sequins inside. 

Here's a clean and simple card featuring a stamped and die cut flower. I heat embossed the script onto the black flower layer and used the same stamp on the smaller layer with black archival ink on white cardstock. The flowers are from Tim Holtz Tattered Florals and I used a Viva pearl Pen to make the green dots.

Another all occasion type card ( always nice to have a few in your stash). This time I used the same script stamp and punched the flowers out. The border was created using a Spellbinders set. The white panel is embossed using a Darice embossing folder which I seem to keep reaching for. It's very versatile and sells for just $5.

Thanks for taking a peek and I hope you like the cards.

Happy Mothers Day!

Just a quick heads up ...the shop is open from 10 - 2 this Saturday ... last chance to get a fabulous deal on 12 x 12 patterned papers. My kids are driving down for a visit tomorrow afternoon and staying overnight, so I'm looking forward to another weekend of family time ... whoohoo! Wishing all the Moms (and Mums!) out there a very happy Mother's Day this weekend.

National Scrapbooking Day

Did you know that tomorrow (May 3rd) is National Scrapbooking Day? I did ... but it also happens to be the best date for a get together with family members who I don't see nearly often enough ... my sister Pauline, my brothers Peter and Tony and their wives Sharon and Kathleen. They all live 5 or 6 hours drive from me so getting together is a challenge, but this weekend worked for everyone so ... I hope you have a wonderful creative day with your scrapbooks and since I'm not open tomorrow to help you celebrate on the "big day" how about a sale on all in stock 12 x 12 patterned paper? Starting today and all next week I'll take 40% off all patterned papers (excluding the ones already in the sale bin) 40% off all scrapbooking kits plus $2 off the marked price of any 6 x 6 paper pads in the bin on the sales desk. Don't forget to check out the 30% discount bins too ...I'm always adding goodies to it!
Happy National Scrapbooking Day!
