WOOOOWHOOOO!

We are 1 week away from National Scrapbook Day and I am so excited about the fun things we have in store for everyone. Just got home (yes 1:00 am) from a super fun Friday Night Crop where we signed up 4 more people for NSD. If you haven't signed up, it's not too late but spots are going quickly so call now!

Here are the fun things in store:
* Lunch and Dinner - catered by new restaurant to open next door to the store
* Snacks - donated / catered by several vendors
* 4 Make-N-Takes - and even if you don't want to participate, you get the supplies
* Hourly Give-a-ways...must be present to win but can win more than 1 if you earn multiple entries.
* Goody bag...hint, our event is the "Flip Flop Shop and Crop"; I must say that I am bouncing off the walls about 1 of the surprises I have arranged for everyone :)

Come on now, really, can you afford not to have a Mom's Day Out?

See you this week!

In this class you will get to create a word album using the hip new Scenic Route Grafton line of papers...bling, plastic, flowers, paperclips, and other fun embellishments will be used to give it a special look!

Scrap*A*Ganza Class PIctures

On Sunday, June 29, we will be teaching the Totally Tabbed Mini Album at Scrap*A*Ganza. The samples are just too cute not to publish. We are using the Felicity Line by Scribble Scrabble and the Pine Cone Press Tabbed Mini Album blank book. The papers allow you to choose between a boy or girl book...it is also great to scrap with for pets or scenery photos. The pictures below show you all the paper options (you will make 1 album in the class). The album can hold up to 11 photos. Take a look then sign up for the class ~ you will have loads of fun with Alicia!

NATIONAL SCRAPBOOK DAY UPDATE

HELLO! I am so very excited to tell you guys that we have extended the hours of our National Scrapbook Day events AND we have secured extra space for croppers. We will crop from 10:00 am - 10:00 pm (same great price); we will serve lunch, dinner, and snacks (same great price); AND BEST OF ALL, we have secured permission to use the 4,000 square foot space next door to the store.

We will seat everyone 1 or 2 to a table (no more than that). You will receive a goody bag filled with fun stuff! Everyone gets 1 chance in the door prize drawings ~ UNLESS you sign up early. Everyone gets 4 make-n-takes. All of this and we haven't even mentioned the fun and fellowship we will be having!

Here's what I am doing...it is 3 weeks till the big Day; if you sign up BEFORE Saturday, April 19, you get three entries into the drawings; if you sign up BEFORE April 26, you get 2 entries into the drawings. You can win more than once but you must be present to win.

We are limiting the # of croppers to 50...spaces are already filling so stop by to sign up now! If you are coming with a group of friends and want to be seated together, please make sure you sign up together.

Companies who are sponsoring our activities (so far) include:
Clear Acrylics
Bazzill Papers

April Challenge


Are you ready for a challenge? Beginning today, we will be holding a challenge each month. This is a great opportunity for you to earn FREE $ to be used in the store. Even beginners can handle it - I guarantee!


Did you know there are other fun little holidays to celebrate in April besides April Fool's Day? No foolin'! Check out some of our new favorite April celebrations...

April 7 ~ No Housework Day (my personal favorite)

April 16 ~ International Moment of Laughter

April 17 ~ Blah! Blah! Blah! Day

April 19 ~ Husband Appreciation Day

April 22 ~ Jelly Bean Day


Don't those sound worthy of some form of celebration? And if you are celebrating it, you KNOW it is worthy of a scrapbook page! So...let's scrap!


For our April Blog Challenge, we want you to scrap your untraditional celebrations. Don't have one? Check out all the fun days over at Brownie Locks at www.brownielocks.com/april.html and pick a new holiday to celebrate every year!



To participate in this challenge, you must create an 8x8 or larger layout sharing your untraditional celebrations using the pictured sketch supplied by the lovely sketchers at http://janellerichmond.typepad.com/sketchthis. You don't have to follow the sketch completely, make it your own. We just need to be able to "see" a resemblance to the sketch.

April Classes and More

Good morning and Happy April Fool's Day! This month is going to be HUGE at A Scrap Affair. We have several promotions going on, wonderful classes and of course, the anticipation of NATIONAL SCRAPBOOK DAY. So where do I even begin...

OK, classes it is; the calendar is posted on the website so look there for all the details but let me just say that I think these pictures are just the perfect teasers for all we have to offer.





FREEBIES during April (while supplies last). When you purchase 10 sheets of American Crafts paper, 1 AC shapes canister and 2 AC sticker sheets or 1 AC Alphabet, you receive tons of free stuf. The cute package comes complete with buttons, brads, ribbons, rub-ons and a marker. You get a total of $14.99 in product absolutely FREE! Now if that's not a reason to shop American Crafts, I don't know what is.

NATIONAL SCRAPBOOK DAY is just around the corner...May 3. We will hold an all day crop (10:00 am - 6:00 pm). Your $45 registration gets you 1 entry into our hourly drawings, a catered lunch, snacks and beverages all day, and a goody bag full of special treats. We will offer 4 different free make-n-takes throughout the day. There will be hourly give-aways by our vendors as well as discounts each hour. Register by April 26 to receive a second entry for the drawings.

So, was I right? April is a HUGE month around here. What better time than now to get moving on all your projects. We sure hope to see you soon!

Happy April Fool's Day
