Basic Grey is here

The new lines of Basic Grey have arrived in the store--paper and lots of embellishments. I love this particular paper from the "Archiac" line. So cute for little boy pages.

Card Club this Friday

Join us for this month's card club! Teresa will be using the new Inkadinkado Clear Bird set. She'll be showing a new technique: tissue paper envelopes:

And here is the inside of the card:

New bags and big thanks!

New from K & Co. are these messenger style tote bags. Designed by Amy Butler they are called creativity bags and the fabric is awesome. If you are going to create beautiful scrapbooks, you should carry them in a beautiful bag right :-) I don't expect these to last long in the store!

A big Thanks to everyone who came to our retreat this weekend. Just look at all the creativity in motion!! It is so much fun to see what everyone is working on, sharing ideas, and enjoying this community of scrapbook artistry--you gals inspire us!!

Check out this totally cool idea

I ran across this cool idea at Cathy Zielske's blog (of Simple Scrapbook fame). It's a great way to document an ordinary day in the life of you. You just take 12 pictures on the 12th day of the month--doesn't need to be anything "eventful" going on--just an average day (unless of course your birthday is on the 12th and that IS eventful!). Anyway, I thought it was a unique idea for scrapbooking something other that your typical holiday, birthday, vacation layouts. Don't forget you can click on it to see it better.

Happy Hour and Hero Arts Cards

If you visit our Creative Cafe this Friday for Happy Hour this is our project. It's a cute little key chain --you can make one in either of the color lines we have in the Cafe. If you have a Creative Cafe punch card the cost is $6.00, without the card cost is $8.00. Come in from 4-6 and we'll show you how.

Here are 3 of the 5 cards Cynthia will be teaching on Tuesday March 18th at 6 p.m. She'll be using Hero Arts Stamps but with a totally different take on how to use your stamps. Come join us and find out what she's got up her sleeve!

SO much new Spring Product in.......

This is our Spring section right now at the 'Doodle--there's so many pretty new things in (just click on the picture to get a better look). It's time to stock up on new paper and embellishments for your Easter pictures--only 2 weeks away-can you believe it?

Here are our new Spring & Easter stamps--we have a little promotion going on with these too. If you buy one stamp, you get 50% off the large "stamp of the month"--it's the large one in the middle with the little tiny flowers all over it.

Hero Arts Stamps

Lots of new Hero Arts Stamps in the store and this is one of my favorites. I love this cupcake stamp and found a card sample done with it on their website:

Wouldn't you love to get that card in the mail?!

Green Shopping Bag Days

Want to get a FREE GREEN Scrapadoodle bag? It's simple:

Spend $75.00 from March 1 - March 17 and you get a bag! You can spend it all in one trip to the store or you can come in 10 times and spend $7.50 each time--we don't care how it's done just save those receipts! Combine them and get the bag!

In addition.........shop with your Green Bag and get an extra $5.00 punch during the month of March (minimum purchase $5.oo required).
On St. Patrick's day....shop with the green bag and get double punches!
We have more things coming involving the GREEN BAGS so don't miss out on the fun. We'll keep you posted on what will happen next to those carrying the green Scrapadoodle bags :)

New books and new papers

Several new books and magazines arrived today. We have the new Paper Crafts magazine, restocks on Becky Higgins Sketches, and this brand new book from Stacey Julian. It's a new approach to organizing all those photos you have and couldn't we all use a system for that!

A shipment came from Reminisce today with several lines: Easter, Graduation, Dance and an adorable Safari line--here's a couple samples of this paper:
