New Arrivals

Woo Hoo! The Easter release by Taylored Expressions has arrived! These stamps are a must for anyone wanting to make Easter cards this year. Looking at them, just makes me smile. I also have it from a very reliable source that the Scrapping Cottage Easter collection will be here tomorrow or Wednesday. Oh my goodness...it is one of their best collections so far. Don't wait too long. They are sure to go fast!!

What's New

First off, I ordered Taylor's new Easter Stamps this morning....oh so cute. Anyone wanting to make their own Easter cards this year, stop by and take a look-see when they come in. You won't be disappointed!!

We still have openings for 2 great classes this weekend:

On Saturday, March 5th, we have "Page Maps" with Andi beginning at 10:00am. You will create 2 double page layouts using Basic Grey's super fun Hopscotch line. You can use these layouts for Valentines Day, springtime, a day at the park, a child's layout... the options are open, you decide on your title and the pictures for your page! You'll be using Tattered Angels Glimmer mists, buttons, brads, flowers, stamps, Glossy Accents - these pages have it all! Not only will you finish 4 pages tonight, you’ll receive “page maps” of these layouts so you can re-create them with your choice of papers and subjects.
On Sunday, March 6th, we have "Black Gingham Celebration" beginning at 1:00pm. Come join Julie in a series of 4 darling cards using dry embossing and an easy flower making technique. These are so cheerful and fresh, just what we need now that spring is on the way.

We would love to have you join us, so call today!!
