We Continue our Sizzling Summer Sale

It's hard to believe that June and July are over, and it's almost August. Each week in August, we will have everything with a certain theme on sale, 50% off. . This week is everything with a SCHOOL theme. Keep checking back to see what is on sale next.

I hope everyone is enjoying the summer and all the activities that come with it. We took our 2 grandsons to Lake Tobias last Sunday. That was the first time we were there. I don't know if they had fun but I know I did. We took a portable grill and had lunch there. It was one of those days that was not too hot, so it worked out. I got lots of pictures. Here is one of my favorite of my youngest grandsons, Bryce. I haven't done a scrapbook page yet but will definately use this one. I have petting zoo stickers that I think I will use.

Christmas in July Sale: 9-14

Where does the time go?  I can't believe it has been a month since I posted. I hope you had a nice 4th celebration. I've been trying to turn my photos to black and white, then color specific areas. This is digital technique I've seen on the web, and wanted to try for myself. These are my grandsons and my nephew's daughter. They were so cute with the balloons.

The first one I added a calendar and made into wallpaper for my computer screen. I'd like to teach a class on how to do that. Let me know if you are interested. If I provide the digital kit, the class will probably be $25. You would get the digital kit, classroom instructions, and page ready to print (meaning 300 dpi). I would like to teach digital scrapbooking, so if you have a laptop and can round up a few friends, let me know.

 

Anyway, don't miss out on our Christmas in July SALE. We want all new Christmas products this year so we are clearing everyting out.

Did you see that we've added a "Buy 1 Get 1 Free" paper rack? We will rotate the paper periodically to keep it interesting.

We also have new destination and vacation embellishments and kits. We have Philadelphia, Gettysbury, New York, Amish country for those visiting you, and so much more. You can view them in our Gallery:

I hope you are enjoying the summer and have a chance to stop by and see what is new.

Ho Ho Ho - and turn up the air conditioning <LOL - laugh out loud>

Buy 1 Get 1 Free

"Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be bent out of shape". That has nothing to do with our sale but when I read it on the web it made me smile so I want to pass it along to you. I don't know where it came from but someone saw it on a church sign as they drove by.

We will be on vacation 15-25 June so the store will be closed. Thanks to all of you that buy from our on-line store. That will be open 24x7.

Our sale Buy 1 Get 1 Free ends 14 June Take closer look

Buy 2 of the same or 1 each, mix and match,  (lesser value is free)

Happy Scrppin. Debra

40% Off Selected Items

My #2 Grandson, Bryce, just turned one. Here is a double page layout I did of his birthday party. I used the Numbered Paper by Scrappin Sports . We have 1 thru 10. I can think of lots of ways to use that paper besides birthdays. For example, the Number 10 - can be used for 10 things I love about you. Did I mention that it is double-sided paper?

 

We also marked down (40% OFF)the Photo Frames and Phrase Cafe album kits. They both are great for adding pictures without spending a lot of time in the decision making process. The photo frames come with an envelope, so add a picture and drop in the mail. (Great Mother's or Father's Day gift)..hint...hint.... The Phrase Cafe album kit has matching embellishments that add that special touch. Come by and check them out. They are on the back table.

 

Also, look at the card class and Mother's Day layout in the class section. Click on the link:

50% off Power Pages - One Week Only

Well, Spring is here, that means clean out the old and get rid of those dust bunnies. We're looking around to see which of our old favorites can be discounted to make room for the new. Don't let, just because it's not "hot off the press" make you think it's not relavant or good enough. If it is new to you, and fits your design and style then it is right for your scrapbook. I love looking at all the new products but I also select for my own albumn those things that fit my style and I don't care if they are "hot" today or not. Besides you get to save money.

50% OFF POWER PAGES - Sale ends - 7 April { When checking out - tell us you read this post and get an additional 10% off}  Yep, that is 60% off.

Today is a big day for us, my second grandson, Bryce, is turning 1 year old today. It is so hard to believe a year has passed. I did finish an album for him and have it in the store, so if you are around, stop by, I will gladly show it to you. I am going to make a slide show movie and put it on the web, hopefully next week. I'm also sent it out to a professional printer to turn into a hard bound book, that I am going to give his parents. I should receive that in a few days, so if you are interested, come by and I can show you that also. I should offer a class on how to do that because it took me a little bit of time to figure it out. If you are interested in something like that, give your name to Dave, and he will start a class list and if I get 5 people I will offer the class. The cost will be comparable to a regular 2 hour class.  I see in the magazines that digital scrapbooking is picking up the pace, and I would love to teach it, so again if you are interested in taking digital classes, let Dave know and he will start a class list. I love paper and digital scrapooking. Digital just opens up additional possibilities. I will always do paper scrapbooking because I love the embellishments, and textures they provide.

Here is Bryce at 1 year (doesn't he look like his Mema?)       

Hope to see you soon.

All Sports and School Themed items are 25% off

Before I tell you what is on sale, I just read some pumpkin humor and want to share it with you. You never know when it will come in handy. Here goes:

What do you get when you take the circumference of your jack-o-lantern and divide it by its diameter? Pumpkin Pi

What do you get when you drop a pumpkin?
Squash

Why do Jack O' Lanterns have such silly looks on their faces?
You would too if you just had all your brains scooped out!

Whether it made you smile or not,

Come check out our selection of school and sport paper, kits, stickers, and embellishments. Below are a few samples, we have too many to list them all, so I just randomly picked some to show.

Sale is 22-27 Sept 06.

And don't forget we are giving away a Cricut and there is still time to enter the drawing, 29 Sept.

Also, I have a country wall wreath that I purchsed at the Lititz craft show, but cannot use because it is too big for over my fireplace mantal. I took it to the store, and am going to sell it for $35.00, (I paid $70.00). It is haning in our kitchen area at the store, so if you want to see it, just let Dave or me know. I included a picture below.

Well, I hope you are scrapbooking and "starting" to think about what makes great Christmas gifts for scrapbookers, because I know I am. I am also looking for some fabulous places to take fall pictures of my grandsons. If you have any suggestions, let me know.

Hope to see you in the store soon. Happy Scrappin'

Last Week for Sizzling Summer Sale

I can't believe next week will be the last week of August. Where did the summer go? Did you do everything you wanted to? Don't worry, that is what summer is for, to let things slow down a bit and enjoy being outside. I love September as it cools down and all the fall colors start to happen. I'm getting my fall house decorations out now and I didn't realize how much stuff I have (I think I can decorate two houses). We certainly are collectors, arn't we? My new theory is nothing new comes into the house without something going out. Don't know if I'll be successful but I'll give it a try. I am getting rid of an old box spring that we had stored for 15 years and never used. Why I kept it I'll never know but it feels good to get rid of it. Anyway, I'll stop rambling and let you know what is coming up.

This is our last week for the 25% off Sizzling Summer Sale. Instead of 25% off, we are offering Buy One Get One FREE on paper. So any paper you buy, you can get another one of equal value for free.

This offer is good, August 24-30, (Thursday-Thursday) Then starting in Sept, we are going to have a drawing for the Cricut die cutter. For every $5.00 spent, we will give you a ticket for the drawing. I don't know if you have seen this but it retails for $300.00 and is really nice. Come by the store and see it, we have it on display on the back table.   

So as summer winds down and you start thinking about indoor projects, come by the store. We look forward to it.

Happy Scrappin'

Sizzling Summer Sale continues with Tools, Templates, Punches, and Trimmers

Well, our Sizzling Summer Sale continues. For the week of 16-23,(did you notice we are running the sale Wed-Wed this week?) we will have all TOOLS, TEMPLATES, PUNCHES, and TRIMMERS, 25% off. So when you are out running those errands, don't forget to stop.

I also want to give you a sneak peak at what we have planned for September. On Aug 4th, the store was open 2 years (yea!) It went fast and to thank our customers, we are going to put something special together for Sept. We have a Cricut (value $300.00) to give away  as part of a drawing and I'm not sure what else we'll do, we're working on the details now. So stay tuned, you don't want to miss out on a chance to win this really nice die cutter. I tried it, it is as easy as they advertised.

Here is a picture I took this weekend of our #2 grandson sitting up (or trying to). I'll have to scrapbook this. He is like a little weeble-wabble, and when he falls down, he just looks at you and smiles.

We hope to see you in the store soon. Now I'm off to work on next month's activities. I can't believe it will be fall soon. Where  does the time go?

What is a avatar? Glad you asked. Avatars are small graphics that are displayed under your username whenever you post to an  online forum, a web page, or just to put into an instant messenger message. It's just for fun and no real reasone to have one. I think I'll use it when I sign my name.

Starting today, 7 August through 11 August, you will receive 25% off all school items. (not one item - but all school items).

Sizzling Summer Sales

Before I tell you what is on sale, I want to tell you about one of our customers this weekend. On Saturday, this lady came in and wanted to know if we could scan carpet samples, wallpaper and flooring tile. I hesitantly said yes, and asked her what she was working on. She told me her church is updating  some rooms and she was on the decorating committee and wanted to include pictures of these items in the scrapbook they were putting together. Once I understood, I knew I could scan the items and produce a good representation of the items for the scrapbook. This made me smile, it is thinking outside the box, and proves there isn't much that can't be scrapbooked. <grin>

(We have a 13"x24" scanner and only charge .99 cents per scan. It is great for scanning those 12"12" pages.)

Anyway........

During the 4 weeks of August, every week we will have selected items 25% off. So check back all month to see what is reduced.

This week, starting 1 Aug and continuing through 5 August, everything Spiderman, Superman, and Batman is 25% off. We have kits, paper, and embellishments.

Kits

Paper

Embellishments

They are really cute, so pick them up while they are on sale.

Here is a page I did of my son-in-law for Father's Day, as SuperMan-SuperDad.

Don't forget to check out our Gallery for ideas of page layouts.

Come get the supplies, print the page layout, and before you know it, you're pages are coming together quickly. Don't spend hours trying to figure out what to use and how to place them on the pages.

My motto or should be: spend less time figuring out how to put together pages and more time enjoying them.

Hope to see you soon.
