5-a-Lous

Hey Bloggerettes,

The pictures are sneak peeks of Susan's up-coming classes next week. On the calendar the class is called "5-a-Lous". She uses 5 products from a collection and creates 2 single page layouts with the products. These layouts feature Pink Paislee's "Queen Bee" products.

I talked to Lynn today - no baby as of this afternoon.

Basic Grey

Hey Bloggerettes,

Finally UPS got it together. The last box was delivered today so all of the Basic Grey collections of "Oliver" and "Olivia" are here. Both collections are double sided. There are some new embellishments (as if there weren't enough already).

Enjoy!

Hail-a-lu-ya!

Hey Bloggerettes,

Are you tired of the torrential downpours?

(tor·ren·tial/tôˈrenCHəl/Adjective
1. (of rain) Falling rapidly and in copious quantities.
2. (of water) Flowing rapidly and with force)

Are you glad you're not a cowboy?

Things have been busy at "the Yard". The GARDEN BOOK class was last night - stress the NIGHT - the class wrapped up at about 10:45 p.m. - WHY, WHY, WHY do I make such elaborate projects? The girls loved the many techniques and multitude of exclusive product (from my personal stash).

Some orders have arrived in the past few days.

• Graphic 45 "Wonderland" - it is amazing I must say







• "Wreck This Journal" book (4 copies only)







• Making Memories "Panorama" travel collection







• Little Yellow Bicycle "Boardwalk" - just a small sampling







• Melissa Frances newest release called "Kitschy Kitchen" - very retro - some other vintage embellishments came with this order too.

I hope you have been following Tim Holtz blog. He is posting pictures of his newest product that is scheduled to be released at the Summer CHA trade show in Chicago at the end of the month. I love the newest paper stack and matching sticker set.

In My Humble Opinion:

I have been up at the hospital quite a lot lately. My brother had another surgery and is struggling to get through it. The weirdest thing is that he is in exactly the same hospital room as he was before so it brings back a lot of memories.

Hello Sunshine!

Hey Bloggerettes,

New, new new....................

Little Yellow Bicycle "Pack Your Bags" collection. I think you should buy the entire collection, pack your bags with co-ordinating colored clothing, go on a trip that suits the paper, come back and scrapbook it because it will be a "no-brainer".

My Mind's Eye "So Sophie" and some "Meadowlark Dawn". I love the quality of this paper. Both collections are double sided and a bit vintage.

7 Gypsies Letterblock Trays (black), Printer Trays (white), Avignon clear stamps and 4" elastics (like to ones used in the signature binding 3D House album)

Moxxie "Tee Ball" double sided papers (2 kinds)

Provo Craft Cuttlebug 5x7 Embossing Plus (cut & emboss) Monogram Seals, Vintage Collage and Postage Alphabet

Some Goodies................

Hey Bloggerettes,


A few things arrived today that are fun!


-Tim Holtz Caged Bird and Tattered Floral Sizzix dies and embossing folders - all the tissue tape is gone!

-Webster's Pages bloomers flower trim, cameos and some new papers

-a new summer section is being set up with Bo Bunny, Best Creations and American Crafts products

-temporary spray adhesive that claims it can be used on die-cut machine matts (thanks Diana)

-UHU glue sticks (as requested by Lynn)

-re-stock of Girls' Paperie papers (for gramma's of little girls)

IN MY HUMBLE OPINION:
Black gel nails are very appropriate for gardening with style! Several pairs of funky rubber boots have come in handy lately. Milo is back as the "Greeter" at the store. He had his "Goofy" stuffed animal in his mouth today while greeting people - kinda like Walmart eh - a goofy greeter!!

They've hit the shelf.........

Hey Bloggerettes,

Finally the Tim Holtz embossing folders (8) and tissue tape (4) have arrived! They were worth waiting for. Very "Timish". FYI: Scrapbookers have their own language - you can add "ish" to any word and it is totally okay!

An order from "7 Gypsies" also arrived. There are letterblock printer trays in 2 colors and more artist printer trays. Paper tape from the Avignon and Venice collections also came in.

"Fancy Pants" collection called Like Father Like Son is here. There are some good papers for Father's Day.

"Riff Raff" die-cut chipboard shapes are hanging up. In case you didn't know, they are a company based in Edmonton. Go Canada Go

Susan has brought in some fabulous layouts. She has put them up all around the store for inspiration. Enjoy!

Maureen has graciously brought in her "Garden" mini album and her infamous "Canvas" album. They are on display behind the counter. You will be in awe of her work.

Being sick sucks!

Hey Bloggerettes,



I have been under the weather for the past few days. Thanks to my staff for "stepping-up-to-the-plate" for me.



An order from "Riff Raff" arrived this week. There are 44 designs to chose from.



The CINCH binding tool arrived today.



The "Ranger" order is due in on Friday. I am going to find out about the Flower Sizzix die that no one can seem to get. Tim will know!



For those of you who ordered stamps from "Stampers Anonymous" - they called yesterday and said it was shipping. Exciting eh!!! They ship by US mail so it will probably be about 10-14 days.



My gals who did the Tim Holtz Jewelry Class yesterday went home feeling like princesses. Good on ya!

Check out the 7 Gypsies website that Paula and Debbie post on. It is:

www.2gypsygirls.com

do you recognize anyone????? How much fun was that?

I have changed the blog again. You may need to "Refresh" the site to get the updates.

Break out the sandals, paint the toenails, pluck the chin hairs!

Hey Bloggerettes,

I am thoroughly enjoying the nicer weather, aren't you? Can we dare plant our flowers yet?

FYI: I posted the class schedule on June 1 and then made some changes yesterday. It may affect you, you never know.

I want to welcome Susan Tutt to The Scrap Yard staff. Susan is a talented 7 Gypsies designer and instructor with much to offer. Please visit her blog. http://susanscrapbooker.blogspot.com/

Finally the Cuttlebug embossing folders arrived that were ordered in February. There are 5 packs and 4 packs and singles and big ones and normal-sized ones; Japanese, borders, alphabet, romance, and a few others.

My "little buddy" Milo made and appearance in the store today. He was pretty good considering his anxieties about scrapbooking! I'm hoping he will settle down and be comfortable in the store again.

Enjoy the pictures from this past weekend.

IN MY HUMBLE OPINION:

There is a great sale going on at Great Garb in Glenmore Landing. Check it out. My paisley, rubber cowboy boots were purchased at Kaffa Coffee House in Marda Loop. Remember, Stampede is just around the corner! Think how easily the dung can be hosed off these babies!
