new product this week

we have tons of new glitter papers and transparencies from best creations. these papers will definitely get you in the mood for spring. or if you need to scrap those birthday pictures there is some new paper for that.

the fair is here. ok just paper that will help you scrap those pictures from the state fair. maybe you need something for a blue ribbon winning prize.

have you been to the zoo lately or does your everyday life feel like a zoo? these stacked stickers add the right amount of depth to your page. and the ribbon is too cute.

enjoy.

creative cafe feb. 25th & 28th

a few cards this week. could be good for any occasion. come in from 1-3 on wednesday or anytime saturday and make these two cards with envelopes for $4.

i made a mistake...

sometimes things slip my mind. it was brought to my attention that one of the best things about the retreat was forgotten. i forgot to apply the credit that i usually do to people's tickets. so if you were at the retreat, the next time you come in you will have credit on your account.

again, i am sorry if this caused you any problems.

scrap club

don't forget that the scrap club meets tomorrow night at 6:30. if you want to get together with a group of girls to try new things or get great ideas then you need to come. i am always amazed at cassie's talented stamping. there is a challange every month so make sure you get that done as well.

hope to see you there.

girls and boys

playtime is here. these papers are perfect boy papers. but, don't think that they are only for boys. the backside of these papers are great neutral patterns that will work for any occasion.

fairest of them all. if you have a princess then you need these papers and embellishments. ok, even if she isn't a princess you should still have this line. you have to come in and see the rest of this line.

enjoy!

my sweethearts

check out the picture below to see the brad heart detail zoomed in.

just a reminder in case you missed it: we have some super cute valentine's paper from heidi grace. i made two layouts and couldn't stop. it's kind of funky and every layout and card comes out looking awesome. these two layouts i did are almost completely heidi grace. "my sweethearts" came from her rose covered letters. all the papers and even the cool glittered hearts. come in and get some to scrapbook your valentines or just people you love!

rachael

are you an everyday gourmet chef?

if so we have the perfect line for you. this line is so great because the stickers range from breakfast in bed to the 30 minute meal. The colors are great for those older cooking photos.

lil davis designs has come out with a cute baby line. i love the pastel colors. the baby animals are super cute as well.

it could also work for zoo trips if you are looking for something different for those zoo picturs.

enjoy.

creative cafe february 4-7th

i've decided that layouts tend to be the most successful creative cafe projects. knowing this, i've been trying to create layouts that can also be changed. i want you to be able to make it for a boy or girl for christmas or halloween if you choose. with this layout my idea was to make the title easily changed. because of our wonderful die cutting machine your layout can be goofy or lovely or for sisters or your husband...anything you choose i can cut out for you and make your layout your own. come in from 1-3 on wednesday or anytime saturday and make this layout for $5.

design studio class

jennifer will be teaching this class. i know there are several of you out there that have the software or maybe want the software, but are not sure what all it can do. jennifer will take you through the many possibilities this program has to offer. if you have the program on a laptop and can bring it to class that would be great. if not we will partner you up with some one who has it. you will get a handout with the most common questions for you to take other notes on as well.

here is what the program looks like on your screen.

one of the many things you can do is weld letters. this is probably the most common use of the program.

hope to see you there.
