Workshop

We love when you guys come in and use our workshop to create. We get to see all kinds of amazing projects unfold in front of us. Here's a case in point. Ruthie stopped in this week with her mom and they created these letters using our Provo Craft letters and Basic Grey paper. Not only is she adorable but look at those letters--awesome! Stop in sometime and create--the workshop is always open and we love to see your projects!

Doodleprints Paper

I realized I didn't post the full 12 months of our very own paper line......can't wait to see what you create with these! Printed locally, we are proud to have these in the store--stop in and check it out.

Bind it All

If you aren't familar with the Zutter Bind-it-All system this is what it's all about. One of the cutest little calenders I've ever seen! She even shows you exactly how to do it here:

A Very Special Shipment Arrived Today!!

This is really big news here at Scrapadoodle. WE'VE GOT OUR OWN PAPER LINE!! It's called DoodlePrints and we are so excited! This is the very first release. They are calender pages with great graphics and month-related themes. Great for not only calendars (perfect Christmas gifts by the way) but also for cards, journals, school projects. Wait 'till you see them! All are double sided with a matching distressed solid on the back side.

Ornament

We just got this paper in today! It's by Fancy Pants and look how they used it on their blog: It is simply 6 pieces of chipboard cut to 3" x 3", then covered with this fun paper + pictures + embellishments = cute cube ornament. This would be a fun project to do with your kids.

Stop in to see the whole line.

Cute idea

I saw this on the Making memories blog--how cute is this?! Would be a great teacher gift, or secret santa, or anyone for that matter. We've got the jars so all you have to do is pick out some paper and embellishments and fill with treats. A fun, easy and affordable gift!

Stocking Stuffer idea

Ranger

This is a product I've never tried before so forgive me if you already know about this but all I can say is WOW!! I'm LOVING it! Take plain old chipboard and glop this stuff on and look what happens--totally cool. By glop, I mean don't hold back, use plenty and don't try to be neat about it. Pile it on and then go to the mall. It takes awhile to dry. When you get back from the mall you will be amazed--it's all dry and has crackled while you were gone. You'll feel like an artist! These Ranger Crackle paints come in different colors too. Use your crackled chipboards on layouts and cards--I'll show you what I'm planning for these in an upcoming post. Click on picture to see detail.

Scrapbooking 101

Come learn the basics--this is our beginner class. We have a 101 class coming up next Monday, November 24th from 6-8. Learn about albums, trimmers, adhesives AND you'll create a 2 page layout! All you need to bring is pictures--we take care of the rest. Also, if you know someone who has shown an interest in scrapbooking, this would be the perfect Chrismas gift. We can give you a gift certificate for Scrapbooking 101! Class is only $15.

Embossing Class

We've have openings in class this Saturday. Check out these adorable Christmas cards you'll make. Kathi will show you how to emboss using brass templates to make these. Don't wait till the last minute to get your Chrismas cards done! Come to class, make your samples and start mass producing these and you'll have one thing done already for the holidays! Saturday November 22 from 1-3.

Mr. Campy

Love this little good-bye card. It uses one of my favorite papers from the Mr. Campy line from Cosmo Cricket (and yes we do still have some of it in the store). The stitching around the edges adds such a nice touch too. Wouldn't you just love to get a card like this in the mail--instead of bills!@#

File folder card

Isn't this a beautiful card? Saw it on http://cardalicious.blogspot.com/
It caught my eye because it is just sooo pretty but also because it uses one of our favorite products--the Cuttlebug. Those dots are made using the embossing template "Swiss dots"--isn't that just awesome!

Bo-Bunny kit

The time is now to get organized for the holidays. We just got these kits in to create this holiday organizer. EVERTHING you need to complete this book including full color instructions. Bo-Bunny kits are always a hot item around here and these will go fast!

Extreme Home Scrapbook

We wanted to post this video in case you missed it, especially for all you fabulous girls who worked so hard to put these scrapbooks together so fast. It's Lynne and Teresa presenting the Grys family with the scrapbooks you made--Holy cow look at the size of that album!! Thanks again to everyone involved in this labor of love.

Explosion Album Class

Here's a really fun class that is happening at the store on Saturday November 8th from 1-3:30. This mini album literally "explodes" open, making room for TONS of pictures. This is a really great Christmas gift idea that will have them asking HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!?! This is the cover. The whole thing scrunches down and becomes a normal looking 6 x 6 album. Till they open it...........

Stop by the store and see the actual sample--this thing is magical the way it works plus it's darn cute!!

Extreme Home Makeover

A group of very talented gals got together at Scrapadoodle this weekend and created a scrapbook for the family in Pekin about the construction of their new home. In just a couple days they were able to make this gift to present to the family. A big thanks to all of you for creating a gift that will be cherished forever!

This is the layout that Carrie will be teaching on Tuesday 10/21. Perfect for all those pictures you've taken at the apple farm this fall.

Recipe book

Making Memories has a really nice line for creating a recipe book. What a great Christmas present this would be. There are recipe cards and all kinds of pretty embellishments. Wouldn't it be nice to have all your recipes organized in a beautiful book like this.....organized at all for that matter..mine are just piled in a box!

Wendy Vecchi's class

She will teach you so many cool things about inking. I love these wall hangings and you get to choose which color scheme you want to go with. Call soon as this wil fill up fast and be sure to get the supply list.

New Cricut Accessory

Exciting new product for your Cricut! You can now cut chipboard! With this new deep cut blade you can cut through tons of heavy stock that you couldn't before. You need to have the housing as well as the blade to do this and we just got both in! The nice part too is that Provo has changed the color on these to blue so that you can easily distinguish it from your normal green housing & blade.
