Layout of the Week Brought to you By Carrie Sheldon

WOW! Carrie's layout totally POPS! She has totally rocked the Hambly transparency and brand new Basic Grey Euphoria line. This Layout of the week is quick and easy, and totally gorgeous. I love how she used ribbon to frame the photo! The Layout of the week is brought to you each week by a different design team member. All the products have been pulled and placed on a display near the front door for your convienence.  Happy Scrappin!

On another note....we are going to CHA this week! !!!!!!!!!!!! We have already begun seeing alot of new product and placing pre-orders for the latest and greatest from Heidi, Tim, My Mind's Eye, Maya Road and Pink Paislee!!!! And we haven't even gotten out the door yet......

We will try to post pics from the show to share with you all! Stay tuned!!!!

I have to also mention the COOLEST thing to hit ribbon! I am in love! I know that a lot of  you don't love the hassle of getting your ribbon knots and bows looking good on your pages. This relieves all the stress! Double sided ribbon! That's right! The pattern is on both sides!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No more fuss! So easy.....I'm loving it!!!!!!!!!!! Even better, the price point of 60 and 75 cents per yard. I think you girls will be seeing this in a future MNT ;) It is too much fun. We have all the colors they make and more from the Bo Bunny CHA release is on order.

Make N Take This Mornin!

Hey ladies! What a busy week we've had. We are getting ready to head to the CHA show in Chicago to order lots of new goodies for you all this week!!!! WE are getting so excited with all the sneak peeks we've already seen!

Here is today's make n take. Remember, we can only hold a MNT if you purchase the kit and there is only MNT per person so we will have enough for everyone who stops in. Thanks for understanding.

Make N Take This Mornin!

A couple of cool new things came in...

Hey Ladies!

I just wanted to let you know that we got in some of the very very popular Black Magic Core'dinations Cardstock today in 4 different color sets. Wow! This stuff sold out in a matter of days and has been backordered for months!!!!! Don't miss out on this cool new trend in the cardstock world. The outside of the cardstock is black and it is textured, but the core of the paper is a color. You can sand the paper or tear the edge to reveal the core color inside.

Bottom line...it's super cool. Which leads me to the other new product we have just recieved. Tim Holtz's sanding grip. Many of you used this brand spankin new tool in his class. Now they're here!!!! This tool allows you to sand down papers, grungeboard, and chipboard for that cool distressed look. You don't even have to touch the sand paper.

Also, be sure to check your e-mail. I sent out a newsletter yesterday with a really good coupon in it ;) Don't want you to miss out!!!

We also have a few more kits from MNT Monday this week if you couldn't make it by. The layout is the "Nature Lover" shown above.

Have a great afternoon!

Layout of the Week- brought to you by Katia Banfield

Katia has a lot to celebrate! One of her daughters just got engaged this weekend which inspired her to create this Layout Of The Week.

                                   

It is just breathtaking! If anyone can work some Prima bling it is Katia! In this layout she used felt ribbons from Creative Imaginations, Prima Say it in Crystals (swirl bling), Prima Felt die cuts (I Love you) and Hambly papers. This layout is perfect for a spouse, significant other, family member, or child. All the supplies to create this layout have already been pulled for you! The Layout of the week display is near the front door. Feel free to stop in and scrap-lift. The LOW is a great way to get lots of inspiration from our team of top notch designers! Enjoy ;)

Toodles~~

Layout Inspiration

I apologize for the delay in posting the photo of this layout. This was a special kit we had at Scrap-A-Ganza and many of you needed a photo.

If you like the layout, we are out of kits, but have the supplies at the store to recreate it!

Happy Scrappin ,

Scrap-A-Ganza Was a Hit!

The Scrap-A-Ganza Girls (Timi, Tanya, and Nancy) did an amazing job putting on the event last weekend. We were so excited to be a part of it. The make n takes were a hit! We met a lot of new faces and got to visit with our great customers as well!

Cheryl, Tracy, and I set up the booth (with the help of Tracy's boys...hehe). It went from chaos to cuteness in a matter of hours! Look at Cheryl's awesome sign!!!! It was so cool and really made the booth feel like the store.

Timi loves to call this our satellite store...lol. If you missed out on the event this year, make sure you mark your calendars for Scrap-A-Ganza 2009.

Here are more pics...
