A Happy April Morning...with OCTOBER AFTERNOON!

Scrappin In the City - Wednesday, April 04, 2012

It's always nice to come to work at SITC in the morning, but it makes for a crazy fun day when there's a big box of new stuff waiting for me when I get here.  It's the best kind of day when that box is from OCTOBER AFTERNOON!  Woohoo!!  We got in the much anticipated "Sasparilla" line and it is as cute as it looked in all of the previews.  It's a Boy/Girl country/cowboy theme line with some adorable embellishments to go with the always wonderful papers that OA sends us.  With the great colors and cute star embellishments, much of this line is making it in to my to-scrap bag for baseball pages and general boy pages. 

I also had waiting for me a rare-for-us reorder of a line that went so quickly so many of us missed out on it.  We have the "Saturdays" line back in from Little Yellow Bicycle, so if you got a little before and need more, come and get it.  Or if you missed out completely, here's your chance to grab some of this beautiful "family" line with the denim look.  So pretty!

My day just keeps getting better......As I was sitting here typing, the big brown truck pulled up with MORE new stuff!  Wowza!  These boxes are from JILLIBEAN SOUP and Basically Bare!!!  AHHHHH!  "Southern Chicken Dumpling" from Jillibean may be the cutest Easter line I've ever seen!  Yes, I need it ALL!  This giant box from Basically Bare is FULL of chipboard, fabric and felt embellishments in every shape and size you could imagine!  I can't wait to start shopping all of this, so I guess I'd better get to work so all of you and I can buy it all! :-D

Have a great afternoon and come see me!

Trish

I love new goodies!!!

Scrappin In the City - Wednesday, March 28, 2012

A bunch of you have been waiting for the new BoBunny line, Alora, and it is finally here!  SO cute with flowers, cherries, birds and hearts.  This is a precious little girl line, but I even got some for scrapping my boys.  The colors are reds, greens, browns, and teal, and a bunch of it is appropriate for boys, too!  Woohoo!  We have 6x6 pads in it, too, for me and my card-making friends. :)

If you have been as busy as I lately with school, work, practices, ballgames, and all of the other activities with which our time gets consumed, then like me, you've probably had no time for yourself to sit and scrap.  So....clear your Saturday and come crop with us!  Lou, Jennifer and Tonya will be at the store hosting a 12-hour crop so you can catch up.  It's only $15 if you prepay ($20 if you wait till Saturday), and that includes your dinner (Lasagna & salad), snacks & drinks, and a 10% shopping discount for the day.  Call me and reserve your spot! 

If you have a whole weekend free, there are two spots left for the SDV Scrapbook event this weekend!  It will be at the Airport Hilton with our fabulous Sara taking the job as hostess.  Check our website for all of the specifics, but I'm sure it will be a complete blast!

Off to find a spot for this great new stuff! :-D

What else is new this week??? I'm sooo soooo sooooooo very excited to announce that we are carrying the NEW Silhouette Cameo

What is the Silhouette CAMEO™?

The Silhouette CAMEO™ is an electronic cutting tool for personal use. Like a home printer, it plugs into your PC or Mac® with a simple USB cable. However, instead of printing, the CAMEO uses a small blade to cut your designs into a wide array of materials.
The Silhouette CAMEO™ is amazingly versatile. It can create intricate projects of all sizes from small (1/4" wide) to large (12" wide) and has an unlimited cutting length. It can cut paper, cardstock, vinyl, fabric, and other materials. It operates with or without a cutting mat. When the blade is replaced by a pen, the CAMEO will sketch instead of cut. It can be controlled from a computer or an SD card. With the print and cut feature, the CAMEO also has the ability to cut out designs that have been printed on your home printer.
The CAMEO cuts designs created in the Silhouette Studio® software. This software is free and offers a wide variety of tools and functions to help create custom projects quickly and easily. The Silhouette Studio® software can also manipulate and cut fonts you already have - if a font is installed on your computer, you can use it with the CAMEO.
Designs and shapes can also be purchased ready-made through the Silhouette Online Store. There you will find thousands of designs by talented artists and well-known companies starting at just 99¢ each. Once purchased, designs and shapes are stored permanently in your library and can be used any time. With the Silhouette Online Store you only pay for the shapes you want - no need for expensive cartridges with the CAMEO.
There are many products available to help you get the most from your CAMEO - from ordinary paper to sparkling rhinestones. If you have a project, the Silhouette CAMEO™ can help make it great.

 
I am loving my new CAMEO!!!  It is absolutely the best machine on the market.  Come in and check it out. 
Happy Crafting,
Sara :)
