NEW Teresa Collins!

For those who know Teresa Collins, she is a BLING kinda gal :) Here are a few of her new embellishments from her BLINGAGE line...




I don't have a cute little image for her new FREESTYLE collection, but here is a picture that was taken at her booth at CHA. This is a great FRIENDS theme collection full of pinks and oranges. My daughter went crazy over the pink camo paper :)














My FAVORITE Christmas collection of the season...NOEL! Make sure you feel the paper used for this line...it's heavy duty and beautiful.


Next up is GIVING THANKS. Many of you have seen the mini-album that Jody created...THIS is the paper she used...


CELEBRATE! Take a look at the transparencies in this line...cute, cute, cute!

Half Price, Baby!

We had an amazing Consignment Sale this past weekend!
Today is the LAST day! And...to make it even more appealing... almost everything today in the Consignment Sale is HALF OFF*!

Shop 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for some amazing HALF PRICE deals :)

Be there or be square.

Today's the big day.

Our Consignment Sale starts at 11.

(Volunteers get to shop at 10 so don't freak out when you see people in the room early!)

And...how's this for cool...

Monday will be HALF PRICE day for Consignment Sale items. That means whatever doesn't sell today or tomorrow, goes down to HALF PRICE on Monday. My advice would be DON'T WAIT though. There are some amazing deals in there. If you eye something you really like, it might not be there on Monday.

Again, sale starts today at 11 and ends Monday at 2.

Happy shopping!

A perfect weekend for scrapbook shopping!

Happy Friday Bloggers!!!

I hope you are all ready for our first Consignment Sale!!! We have a crop room FULL of all kinds of items marked at LOW, LOW prices. There are so many items, that we'll be spilling out of the crop room and putting tables out in the store to display some of them. Here's just a sampling of stuff: stamps (LOTS of Stampin' Up!), punches, embellishment, stickers, markers, ribbon, trimmers, scissors, totes, organizational items, Sizzix dies, QuicKutz dies, Cricut products, books, CHEAP magazines, templates, paper, little paper sewing machines, Creative Memories products, circle cutters and LOTS more.

Trust me when I say that you are going to be AMAZED by the amount of products and the INCREDIBLE prices!

It all starts tomorrow and goes until Monday at 2.



And, while you're there...check out the three newest lines by Basic Grey...Wander, Pyrus and Jovial.




Have a GREAT weekend!!

Calling all Cricuteers!

Come join us for the first Tidewater Cricut Club meeting. The first meeting will be a very informal meet and greet to find out what area Cricut crafters would like to learn to make the best use of their Cricut machine.

Are there buttons on your machine that you do not understand and are afraid to push? Have you not even taken your machine out of the box? We can share information, ideas and techniques.

The meeting will be hosted by Barry and is expected to last about an hour and a half to two hours (depending on our discussions). This meeting is more of an information gathering session, so there will NOT be a class fee.

Please bring paper and pencil for notes.

Sunday, October 3rd
2 - 4 p.m.

Call 563.9009 to reserve your seat!
**Space is limited**

Wacky Wednesday - EXTENDED!

Good news! We're extending Wacky Wednesday through September!

****TODAY ONLY****

40% off any Fiskars Squeeze Punch

*May not be combined with other coupons or discounts. Applies to in-stock items only.

Magnet and Tattoo Paper by Silhouette

What's new from Silhouette, you ask?

First...have you tried the pens on your Silhouette? If not, you really should. To add to the color selection, Silhouette just released the Metallic Sketch Pen Pack. It contains four colors...silver, gold, copper and white. Silver, copper and white are great for use on dark papers. Gold, silver and copper have a metallic sheet that gets more shimmery with each pass of the pen. Try "double cutting" your sketch design for a more pronounced effect.


Magnet Paper - use the Silhouette's print and cut feature to make magnets out of your favorite Silhouette designs.


Temporary Tattoo Paper - print your favorite designs on this unique paper with your home inkjet printer. Then, with the included adhesive, use the Silhouette's print and cut feature to cut around each printed design. Silhouette temporary tattoos apply easily with water, generally last a day or two, and can be removed with a washcloth and warm water.


Here's a little photo of the Silhouette team using their temporary tattoos...or at least I THINK they are temporary! There's a couple people you might recognize...Kris (who many of you know from SCRAP-A-GANZA or his many store visits) is in the middle showing off his big guns...Brian (if you've ever called Silhouette and got amazing customer service, Brian may have been your man) is on the top row in the black shirt...and Derek (looking very "thug", on the bottom row with the white hat) may have also provided you with stellar customer service. The guy on the bottom right, in the blue shirt, is Chris...he's about to move to the Netherlands to open the Silhouette Europe office. I think I may need to find a reason to visit him :)



Happy creating!

A few of my favorite things :)

We hope you're enjoying this beautiful holiday weekend :)

Please note that we are closing early at 5:00 p.m. on Monday in honor of Labor Day.

Here's a look at a few new things in the store that make me happy:

Adorable monsters and fun eyeballs by SEI! Perfect for that "lil monster" in your life :)


The amazingly popular Tool Box totes! There are a few reasons why I love these totes...they fit your Silhouette AND your trimmer...the colors are bright (pink, lime, navy)...and the hibiscus pattern is fun.


This Wave Crashers collection also carries the hibiscus theme :)


The new Fall collection by Moxxie reminds me of cooler days ahead...


And cooler days ahead means Halloween and Thanksgiving are just around the corner!


The picture isn't the greatest (sun glare), but check out these fun alphabet chipboard stickers by Cosmo Cricket! (And, while you're at it, take note of the cute Halloween ones next to it.)

This week, we welcomed a new adhesive company to our store...Helmar. You will see products including tape runners, liquid glue dots (so that you can make glue dots whatever thickness you like), spray on adhesive (great for vellum and revitalizing Silhouette/Cricut mats), adhesive remover (perfect for removing any ahesive, including the gunk on your Silhouette/Cricut mats), liquid glue and 450 Quick Dry. 450 Quick Dry is a stainless, crystal clear, fast drying glue ideal for all kinds of crafting projects. You can even use it on clothes because it WON'T come off in the wash machine! (If you love Zip Dry, you'll love this too!)


Little stickers by Karen Foster! See the FAMILY one on the bottom right...the one with the family stick figures on the window?!? It makes me want to take a picture of my car and scrapbook it! Just think of how old your car will look to your kids when they are flipping through your scrapbook in 20 years :)


Glazed cardstock by Bazzill! Love, love, LOVE this line! This is perfect for both scrapbookers AND card makers. And...see the white? Well, you can't really see the patterns on it in this picture, but here's an idea...use your ink and your Ink Blending Tool (a la Tim Holtz)...rub the paper with any ink color(s) you want...and the glazed parts will actually RESIST the ink. This way, you can make the paper ANY color and still maintain the pattern!



Storage bins in 3 new colors! A friend gave me this non-scrapbooking idea...using your vinyl (or whatever else you want), label a storage bin with your child's name and use it to store all their school papers. What a GREAT idea! No more searching the house for that one certain form that has to be returned by Monday :)


I know it's early to start thinking about Christmas...but...check out these adorable brads by My Mind's Eye. If you haven't used these embellishments before, they make a beatiful addition to your page :)


We hope you have a SAFE and ENJOYABLE holiday weekend!

Hurricane Checklist

Ready for EARL?!?

We are! We've got lots of GREAT products to help keep you busy throughout ANY storm...take THAT, Earl!

Right now, based on today's forecast, we are planning on being OPEN on Friday. Depending on Earl's wrath, that may change. Check back here for more details or call the store at 563.9009.

Also, we currently have spots OPEN for Friday's Free Crop. Call the store to reserve your spot.

Here's your Hurricane Earl Checklist:

1. Water
2. Glow sticks for the kids (trust me, it provides for way more entertainment than a flashlight in the event of a power outage!)
3. Food you can grill :)
4. Scrapbook supplies...you can do this with no power!

For example:

You can work on some Halloween decorations with the new Sizzix dies...



Or...gather your Christmas recipes :) (Yummm...that makes me want some FUDGE!)

Create something fun with the NEW Glimmer Mist colors!



Capture your summer memories with the new Seaside collection by October Afternoon...












Or, get ready for Christmas with the Santa Paper Doll from QuicKutz (Remember this die? We had it for a very few hours on Black Friday! But...lucky you, QuicKutz found some and sent them to us!).




Most importantly, be safe and take care of each other.

Happy hurricane scrappin'!
