A Knoxville Scrapbooking Blog

Hey there from the City Chick Mountain Retreat!!  We're scrappin' away on our last night :(  So sad its almost over!

New goodies in the store:

Action Wobbles.  These are the simplest invention but are really cool!  They are a spring-style pop dot!  So you can pop up any item or embellishment for that added dimension, but then it also wiggles!  ...or wobbles, lol.  Another feature is it is virtually flat...so that means no extra postage when mailing that fun card!!
Its hard to 'see the wobble' in a photo, but here's one that DT member Jonna made -

Also, we've gotten BoBunny instock in the last week.
Alora has been really popular and we reordered the embellishments too!
Here's a really cool layout made by our rep Sabrina.  She even used the Lucky 8 punch to make the circle base :)

Also, new by BoBunny is Serenity...

Finally Restocked:
Fairy Dust by Donna Salazar

 

The fine glitter is truly dust-like and so fun to use in the adorable salt shakers :)

Also restocked (lots of restocking this week!)
Elizabeth Crafts glitters and tapes and stickers and even new dies

  

Isn't it beautiful?!  In person, the glitter is amazing...
Be sure to check out our new classes that have been posted too!!  New glitter classes, Scrappin' Clubs, Stamp-a-Stacks and more...

Hope you are having a great weekend and see you at the store soon!
Toodles,
Sara

Last call for all you crafty City Chicks....The deadline for submitting those great paper craft projects is January 31st.  So for all you procrastinators, like me, who work better under pressure you have 6 days to gather and submit 3 projects.  These projects can be scrapbook pages or cards and they do not need to be paper or products from our store.  If chosen you will crop for FREE, get a 20% shopping discount, and get an awesome Scrappin in the City Design Team t-shirt. We look for many different styles when choosing our design team to try to meet all of our costumers interest.  So your style will perfect!!! Our fearless leader, Sara, will choose the new Design Team and a make the announcement when she returns from CHA.  Speaking of Sara and CHA she leaves for sunny California on Saturday and returns January 31st.  She will be at the show for 3 full days  looking at all the new must haves from all the different companies.  As always she will come back with new product, new techniques, and thousands upon thousands of pictures. 

I say while Sara's away lets let the City Chicks Play!!!! FOR FREE!!!!  We will be having a FREE crop this Saturday from 10 til 6... All you need to do is call ahead and reserve a spot or spots for you and your girlfriends.  A FREE girls day sounds awesome!!

Also, if you haven't been in the store in the last couple of days we have several new must have lines by echo park. So come in a check them out.  Tish and Sara have also been hard at work on new classes.  Trish's stamp a stack is filling up so call soon and Sara has finished the new Scrap Club designs and they are awesome.  Jesselyn is offering a Christmas Layout class this Saturday at 11 during the free crop so you could take advantage of this opportunity also. 

I feel like I have gone on and on but there is so much going on here at the City I want to make sure everyone knows about them and can take advantage of them.

Have a Great Rainy Thursday

Good Day Sunshine is the new line from We R Memory Keepers, not the weather here at the City.  (man it's cold).  This line screams spring and warmth to me.  We have 7 papers with great floral print, 2 stamp options, chipboard stickers, and fabulous coordinating ribbon to offer with this line.

                                                                                                                                                                    We have added many new classes to our class/events tab...so make sure to check them out.  We also have a couple spots still available for Saturday's crop.  If  you call and prepay by tomorrow you will save 5 dollars.  We will gladly take your payment over the phone. 

You may also want to check out our Scrappin Club that will meet next Tuesday at 6.  You will bring only your basic craft kit and leave with 6 completed pages and the knowledge of many new techniques.  

A friendly reminder that deadline for design team submissions is the end of the month.  We just ask that you turn in 3 projects none of which need to be current papers or even papers from our store.  Your projects will be returned to and the new design team will be announced the first week of February.

Happy Scrappin

Calling all super crafty ladies.....it's time again to pick our new Design Team members for the store.  It's hard to believe it's already been six months that we've had the awesome designs hanging in our store from our current designers.  If you love to scrap, make cards, create mini books, alter items to make them crafty, (really, anything in the way of designing things with paper and embellishments), this is your chance to show off your work and get a great discount on some fabulous supplies!  We are looking for a few creative people to design projects for our store.  These can be anything crafty made with our current products, not just scrapbook pages.  In exchange for you letting us borrow three projects per month over the next six months, we will give you a 20% discount on everything you buy, FREE crops and an exclusive SITC Design Team t-shirt.  Pretty sweet deal, huh?  To submit your designs, just bring a few things that represent your style (these submissions do not necessarily have to be with our current products)  in to the store before Saturday, Jan. 28.  We will check out all of the submissions and announce the the Design Team on Feb. 2, with your commitment beginning Feb. 3.  What are you waiting for?  What a great opportunity to share your talent with others!

I can't wait to see your designs!

Have a great rainy Wednesday...

Trish
