Summer Memories Kids Workshop


Here is a picture of the supplies we will be using for this class. It is generic summer so boys and girls are welcome to join. We only have a few spaces left so sign up now!

We're BACK

Whew - what a whirlwind of the windy city! We had a great time and saw fun new "stuff". We are still waiting to hear who the big winner of the bra contest is. There were only 9 entries and I must say ours was looking pretty cool hanging on the show floor for all to see.

Can you believe it, new products began arriving on Tuesday first thing in the morning. Stop by to check out the new Graphic 45 lines. We are bringing in a number of other new vendors and products. As we get pictures up loaded of new products, we will add them to the blog. There are many new things to look forward to including Best Creations, Luxe, Robin's Nest, Black Market, Rusty Pickle, Piggy Tales, and many, many more :)

Glad to be back and ready to get some work done!
Have a great day!

Check This Out


OK - we are entering the Melissa Frances Altered Bra contest at CHA this weekend. Here is one of our creations. We figured everyone would be going "pink" so we decided to play off the "affair" in our store name and created this masterpiece (although, the picture doesn't do it justice). We must send a big THANK YOU to The Bra Specialist in Sugar Land for donating the bustier (it's French and I don't know if this spelling is correct) for our creation.


So now that you have seen it done, can you take the challenge? Submit your altered bra between now and September 12 to be entered into our "ScrapPink" contest. The winner will receive a $75 gift card from The Bra Specialist. Not inspired yet, check out our other samples in the store.
Several of our designers have started blogging and they are great at it! Check out Connie's blog or Carolyn's Blog! Way to go guys!!!!

July Challenge

Vacation... all I ever wanted. Vacation... had to get away.

Now that you have that great Hit of the 80's going through your head, sing your way to your supplies, dig through your photos, and get scrapping those vacation photos. You KNOW you have them... boxes, piles, CD's of vacation photos! I KNOW I have three different trips to Disney World sitting on a CD waiting to be scrapped! Let's see those summer vacation photos.

Share your summer vacation with us. Create a mini-album or layout (8X8) or larger that shares those lazy vacation days. Anything goes as long as vacation is the general theme behind the project! Bring in your layout or project to the store before July 31, 2008, for a chance to win a $15 A Scrap Affair gift certificate. All projects will be returned.
