Those dotted swiss Bazzill papers are to die for! You won't want to miss out on them!<br /><br /><br />AND... who else is so stoked about this weekend's Scrap Pink? It is going to be so much fun! The prizes are spectacular! I can't wait to hang out with women who actually GET it!<br /><br /><br />While Ike was busy destroying homes, business, and moral... I decided to NOT let it destroy my mojo and headed on into the store after the storm. Have you SEEN that we have 12X12 acrylic pieces! I had so much fun creating layouts with these! And it is so easy to do! Check these out and then run to the store to get your own pieces!<br /><br />A Day in the Life:<br />Product used: Clear snaps acrylic, Sandylion Kelly Panacci patterned papers and chipboard pieces, KI Memories "7" (found in Accent Alley) and Sakura gel pens.<br /><p><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v176/txscrapper/IMG_0392.jpg" border="0" />K3:</p><p>Product used: Clear Scraps acrylic piece, Bazzill stitches templates and threads, Bazzill CS, and Making Memories "Back to School" metal chip.<br /></p><br /><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v176/txscrapper/IMG_0002.jpg" border="0" /><br /><p>Hurry on in and create your own.

If you are still without power, we are praying for you. The store has some water damage but it could have been much worse. We are working diligently to get things back to normal. Fortunately, we have not lost any product!<br /><br />We certainly aren't looking very cute with damaged ceiling tiles and a warping floor but we are here non the less. Please call the store to see when we are open. As for today, I will be here until about 1:00 pm. Wednesday, we will run hours from 10 am - 1 pm (possibly longer if insurance and landlord doesn't ask us to close for repair reasons).<br /><br />If all goes well, we will be open on Thursday from 10 am - 6 pm and on Friday from 10 am - 8 pm. As of now, we will still hold our Recipe Swap Social Saturday morning from 10 - 11 am. If a number of people cancel, we will move the date. The beginners layout class from 1 - 2:30 will still be held. Sunday, Sept. 21 will be our first monthly Kids Crop Club. We are adjusting the weekend so as to accomodate ScrapPink next weekend!<br /><br />There are still a few spots available and the deal is even sweeter. $75 will get you Friday night crop from 6 pm - 2 am; Saturday crop from 8 am - 6 pm; and Sunday crop from noon - 4; Pappasito's dinner on Friday, breakfast and lunch on Saturday and lunch on Sunday; T-shirt; goody bag and entry into our door prize drawings. Don't forget the most important part....a portion of the proceeds goes to benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation!<br /><br />Call for more information.<br />Hope all of you are safe. We look forward to hearing how you "weathered" the storm.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331943920563383650.post-38676458007854569902008-09-11T11:02:00.002-05:002008-09-11T11:37:42.146-05:00SCRAP PINK CROP POSTPONED due to big ol' Hurricane Ike!

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 <em>The Bra Specialist </em>in Sugar Land for donating the bustier (it's French and I don't know if this spelling is correct) for our creation.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>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.

And here are just a few things that we have happening in June!<br /><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">June Blog Challenge:</span><br />Summer… It is definitely a word with meaning… but what exactly does it mean to you? Is it time for family vacations, is it time away from the classroom, is it time for the beach, waves, and sand?<br /><br />Share with us what summer is to you. Create a mini-album or layout (8X8) or larger that shares what summer means. Anything goes as long as summer is the general theme behind the project! Bring in your layout or project to the store before June 30, 2008, for a chance to win a $15 A Scrap Affair gift certificate. All projects will be returned.<br /><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">Recipe Swap:</span><br />I don't know about you, but summer is H-O-T! What better way to cool off than with a new recipe? Wanna share that recipe and end up with a nice little recipe book to boot? Join A Scrap Affair's first ever recipe swap. Make sure to call the store to sign up and let us know what recipe you will be doing. We don't want to have any duplicates. We are shooting for ten participants. If more wish to sign up, we will start another group.<br /><br />All recipes need to be submitted as 6X6 in size. Make sure to include the name of the recipe, the ingredients, and any written directions. Then use your scrappy style and scrap those recipes. You will need to make TEN identical recipe cards. Bring them into the store before June 30, 2008. At that time, we will swap out all the recipes and you will have your recipe plus nine other new recipe cards.<br /><br />We will have samples in the store if you need further directions.<br /><br />Participants:<br /><br />1. Meredith W. ~ Guacomole<br />2. Alicia M. ~ Summer Chill (frozen pie)<br />3. Sally C. ~ Banana Split Cake<br />4. Karen C. ~ Eclairs<br />5. Bridget E. ~ Fried Rice<br />6. Linda S. ~ Corn Casserole<br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">Design Team Call:</span><br />We are looking for a few new faces to become the design team for the store. Are you interested?

April showers bring May flowers, right? Well, this months challenge is all about the flowers. There's no sketch, just one simple criteria ~ you must use flowers; flowers on the paper; as an embellishment; as a sticker; in the pictures...you name it, your layout just needs to have flowers. You don't have to do all of the above but be creative. Think of ways to use all those extra flower scraps laying around that are an off the wall color.<br /><br />To help you out, check out our calendar on the website...come in and ask for the May Flowers Special early but ONLY if you are purchasing for a challenge layout.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331943920563383650.post-2997059810768964372008-04-26T01:23:00.002-05:002008-04-26T01:29:12.386-05:00WOOOOWHOOOO!We are 1 week away from National Scrapbook Day and I am so excited about the fun things we have in store for everyone.

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.
