SCRAPPIN' SPORTS

Scrappin' Sports has arrived! Thanks goodness because we definitely needed to get our sports section replenished!! We have also received Lacrosse products... we have had tons of requests for that!

HELP WANTED!

That's right... we are looking for a new member for the SI&M team. Several of our girls have gone back to college, so that means we're a little short handed right now. We are looking for a talented and knowledgeable scrapbooker to work on Saturdays and maybe some week days (but Sat. is a must). We wanted to throw this out to you guys just in case you are interested or know anyone else who is. As with most jobs, you will need to come in and fill out an application and also bring in a scrapbook of yours just to share with us! Our hours are 10am - 6pm on Sat... so not too bad! We look forward to hearing from you!

STRIP TEASES & SCRAP STRIPS

Strip whats?!?! I know, it sounds funny right? I just thought I would share a little tip with you guys. Many companies are producing a paper in their lines that has strips of lots of the different patterns or sayings or titles. I have several semi-ok pictures below of just a few examples of what I am talking about... I'm sure most of you have already seen some of these in the store: Cosmo Cricket, Fancy Pants Designs and the new LUXE Designs! I have come to absolutely love these pages. The single 12x12 layout below is one that I just did last night and it went together so quickly because I used one of the Scrap Strips papers from the black & white line of LUXE. I tend to scrapbook using a solid Bazzill background and then using different patterns and other products to embellish my page. These "strip tease" (as Cosmo Cricket calls them) papers make that sooo easy for me. I also love to mix and match patterns... once again the scrap strips papers are a super easy answer! You could use any of these whole or just use bits and pieces of them throughout a layout. These are also a great way to make your supplies stretch (in other words... maybe save some $$$). In the layout below I used a Scrap Strip and Jotter (the journaling blocks) from LUXE, Bazzill Basics cardstock and flowers, MME buttons and one little piece of chipboard from Lil' Davis that I had in my stash from forever ago and that's pretty much it!! I love how this layout turned out and there was very little effort, time and money spent on it... almost all thanks to a "strip tease"!! ;)

QK CLUB NIGHT

Quickutz Club Night is always fun!! This weeks project was a "bag topper", so when you give out gift bags you can use your scrapbooking supplies and talents to dress them up. Keep an eye out for Donna to do a Christmas bag and card class in the fall!
