More new stuff!
Hey Bloggerettes,
Just reporting in on this fine Monday morning. The last few weeks have been hectic preparing for our "Imagine 2.0" event last weekend - which was fabulous by-the-way. We also received 3 big orders. Love, love all the new stuff. The pictures will tell the tale.
I hope to have the May class schedule on the website by tomorrow. Don't miss out! New classes available will be "FAMILY" wooden letters, "CREATE" wooden letters, a jewelry class, something new from Lynn and we'll see what Susan comes up with to surprise you!
Lynn's Shabby Chic "Bootcamp" is a big hit. We are taking sign-ups for the fall session of the "Shabby Chic 7" layout/album classes. You do 1 layout a week for 20 weeks (Christmas hiatus) and then build the album to put your layouts in. This past session we had an extra class to decorate your album covers - they turned out fabulous!
Susan has her "Mixed Media" class underway as well. This type of creativeness is super hot in the industry right now. There are so many new products available to work with. Watch for the "Gelli Arts Printing Plate" to be arriving at the store.

Project Life monthly class is underway. Quick and easy way to get it together.
Kid's Summer Camp will be July 15-18. This is the wooden letter camp. The kids pick the letters that they want to do and you pay for each letter and a base fee for the camp.
"The Scrap Yard" will have a presence in Okotoks soon. Stay tuned.
I created a survey that I would invite you to take. I want to know what type of off-site events you guys are looking for. Please indulge me :)

https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/The-Scrap-Yard/193523804007489
Check it out. Don't miss out on the most popular trend right now. First class is February 22.
Becky Higgins started this phenomena - here is her video explaining it perfectly: http://www.beckyhiggins.com/blog/2012/09/online-education-for-project-life/
2. Lynn will be teaching a new class called "Shabby Chic Boot Camp". For all of you who are apprehensive to sign up for the regular Shabby Chic classes that require a 20 week commitment, you will enjoy taking this class which will be once every 2 weeks, starting the second week in March and ending mid-June. You will get a taste of this unique scrapbooking style in a smaller format. Don't be apprehensive - all scrapbooking levels welcome.
3. "Imagine 2.0" is happening again this year. This is an off-site weekend workshop. It is being held at the Red Deer Lake Community Hall on Hwy 22X. You will be doing 6 stunning projects taught by Susan, Lynn and Lori. Meals will be provided. No accommodation provided. All products for workshops provided. Bring your standard tool kit. Some of the projects that the girls did last year were the chunky canvas album in mixed media style, printers tray with mega ehpemera, shabby Graphic 45 box with mini album insert, Nunn Design encrusted triple wrap bracelet.......... There are a few spots left that need to be filled - maximum of 20 attendees. The cost is $399.99 - if you put a deposit of $100 down before the end of this week you will reduce the cost of the workshops to $349.99. Full payment is due on Feb 28/13. No refunds. Think Valentine's gift to yourself! Who do you love? What do you love?
4. A new class that we are in the throws of creating is: "Storage Wars" (create fun and useful things to keep your craft room neater) - it will be a monthly class.
5. Teresa Collins Designs is continuing with the monthly class kits starting again in March. Each month is a mini album made from the latest paper collection. Sign up today - classes are on the last Friday of every month and you will be commiting to 12 classes. Here is an example of one of the classes.
6. We are continuing the Basic Grey Page-of-the-Month classes for 2013. They will start in March - a great fun, no pressure type of layout class. Sign up today. This class also requires a commitment to 12 classes - not a drop in class. this is a great beginner class. The January layout is shown below.
A bunch of us are heading to "Farm Chicks" in Spokane again in June. It is a gathering of vintage vendors peddling their wares at the fair grounds. It happens the first weekend in June. This year we will be looking for things to alter in classes. Lynn thinks that an old window could be done up nicely in shabby style. I already have 6 vintage printer drawers from last year - need a few more. Pails, milk bottles, sewing machine drawers, crates, suitcases - FUN, fun, fun!

Jan, Jan, January
Hey Bloggerettes,
Welcome to the last week of January - if we can get through this month it seems we can tolerate the rest of the winter. We are expecting some orders this week - yeehaw! Time to freshen up the place.
Valentines Day is our next holiday and we have 2 projects lined up. Susan is doing a 3"x3" chipboard 3D cube in mixed media that holds a mini album. Re-cap 2012 with this cute little project. It is scheduled for Jan 8 @ 6 PM.
