What's new Pussycat??????

Hey Bloggerettes,

Long time no chat...............

I went to the Teresa Collins "Inspiration Unlimited" 4th annual event in Vegas last weekend. Lots of classes, casino-going, pool-time, shopping, Thai Crunch Salad (2x), hob-knobbing with the big name scrapbookers. Yeah, I love this trip.

We received mega product yesterday and today - it will probably take days to get it all in the computer. I think it was 630 pounds!!! Everyday you will see new stuff.

It's my party..............

Hey Bloggerettes,

How many "Crave" cupcakes are too many to eat on your birthday???? I have been totally spoiled today with such decadence. Thanks to my "peeps"!

"Hug Snug" seam binding is all the rage right now. I have 6 colors in stock right now. You can buy it by the yard for a mere 49 cents. It is easy to dye with Color Wash or any other permanent coloring - even Jello. Starch it and crumple it and it is fabulous!

Did you happen to see the article in the Herald "Neighbours" section that referenced "The Scrap Yard"? Way cool. I did a telephone interview with the writer.

"Shabby Chic" starts on Monday - can hardly wait. The September classes are posted on the website calendar. Check it out.

Sunshine and lollipops!

Hey Bloggeresttes,

Long time no post - summers are like that!

There are a few things to share -

• Congrats to Susan Tutt for being published again. The cigar box mini album is going to be in the next vintage mini album publication of "Scrapbook Trends". SWEET!!!!
• Thanks to Lynn for teaching a Photoshop class to the avid Shabby Chic girls and Wendy from Three Hills.
• CHA is over now. Tons of new product to search on the internet. "Lori-add-to-cart" (one of my many pseudonums) had a cart over $30K. Have to trim that back! A wee bit excessive.
• Mr. Tim has great new stuff coming out - get your pre-orders in!
• The Nakoda Retreat is on again (Nov 4-6) $315/double occupancy.

Thanks for lookin'

New product is being released at CHA Summer

Hey Bloggerettes,

I have been getting lots of pre-views of the new products that are showcasing at CHA Summer in Chicago. Wanna see some new Basic Grey????

The "Out Of Print" arrived today as well as some of the "Smash" product, huge Tim Holtz re-stock , new Helmar adhesives, western items, Sew Easy handles, a few La Blanche stamps, Crafter's Workshop stencils (6x6 numbers, tree branch and bricks), more Disney stuff.............

I want to invite everyone to join The Scrap Yard in doing a tribute to Breast Cancer surviviors by decorating a bra to the extreme and let us hang it from the rafters. This tribute will continue throughout the month of July. Show us what you've got - so to speak!!!

The fabulous gold ornate frame (24x36) with all of the tags pinned onto the red silk background, that you have ogled for months, is now a class. I am holding 3 classes in July and one in August to create this masterpiece. It is a creation of Paula and Debbie from 7 Gypsies. It will take 4 classes to complete. The class starts the first Wednesday in July. Sign-up now!

Remember we are offering Kids Camp - need a few more kids to sign up.

The store hours on Canada Day will be 12-5. Summer hours go into effect in July. We will be closing at 7 PM Mon-Thur, Fri 'til 9PM, Sat 10-5, Sunday Closed.

Upcoming 7 Gypsies Flip Album Class - Summer Series

Ok girls I have a new class for you!! I created this album using a 7 Gypsies photo stand, but instead of just photos I have made it into a flip style album. The theme of my album is childhood, mine to be exact. I have used some of my favourite childhood pictures in this album!

The thing I love the most about this album is that each layout is created on a paper bag! I love the vintage look of this album and I think you will too. This class will run on Monday evenings starting July 4 and runs weekly through August 15. The cost of the class $24.99 per week and that includes the cost of the photo stand! If you would like to join me in creating this beautiful album call the store at 403-271-2225 to reserve your spot.
