Trinket Box


Bev spotted these boxes & knew that they were a MUST HAVE. And me, well I've had my eye on this paper ever since it came in. A little shabby. A little vintage. Perfection! I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I'm thinking that this might just be a perfect class project. Stop by & take a peek & let us know what you think. Class or not, all supplies are available at the shop!!

New Page Kits!!!


Ladies,

Due to time constraints, etc....I am doing the "Calendar in a Year" Class differently this year. I am going to scrapbook a 2 page layout occasionally, and will blog about the layout and provide pictures for you to look at. If you would like to purchase a set of the pre-cut pages ($20) per 2 page spread...you must pay in advance. The two pages pictured will be available for pre-order only through the end of June. By the last day of June, if you have not pre-paid and reserved your pages, you will not be able to purchase them. This is a better way for me to not have extra page kits lying around unsold, and also I won't be under the pressure to produce a 2 page spread a month. Drop by or call with a credit card before the end of June to reserve your page kits!

Thanx,
Bev

Viva Pearl Pens!!!!

Also, for those of you that have been asking for the Spellbinder's Raspberry Spacer plates, I found them, and they are on their way to the store. They should be in next week! Double Woo HOO!

Don't forget about the Secondhand Scrapbook Sale May 23 - May 28. There is still time to get your unwanted stamping and paper crafting items marked and priced and into the store!!! Just have them in by 5:30 p.m. on Friday, 5/20. You will receive store credit for your sales.

We now have our 50% off items all in one area, so you can shop easily for some spectacular bargains!!!! Come on down!

Happy Scrappin'!
