CLEARANCE!!! CLEARANCE!!! CLEARANCE!!!

As a lot of you already know, we have had a pretty messy clearance section in our crop room.  Since we were not too fond of the way it looked we decided to revamp it a little in order for it to make a bit of sense. Today, with the help of Esther Bobenkamp, we were able to display all the paper in two large paper racks.  The paper rack on the left has clearance paper that has been sorted by color, while the paper rack on the right is sorted by themes.  We are so excited with the outcome that we have decided to have a clearance sale on our clearance items! Here are the new prices for the clearance items:

PAPER: .10 cents

Paper-like Embellishments: .50 cents

Non-Paper-like Embellishments: .75 cents
(We know that the embellishments are still a bit messy, but we have yet to find a way to display them properly.  If you have any suggestions, please feel free to post your ideas here, or e-mail us.)

We also took all of the American Crafts older lines and placed them in baskets in the front of the register.  The papers found in these baskets are now 75% OFF!!! 

Come by the store and check out our clearance sale!!  We are certain there is a little treasure hidden amongst our papers waiting just for you...

Lots of love!

Nana & Vanessa

*** Thanks Esther for all of your help!!! ***

Meet the Designers ~ Ruby Bisson (On-Line Designer)

We still have a few more talented ladies we would like you to meet!!

This young lady comes to us all the way from the Land Down Under!!  She is sure to be an inspiration to us all!  Meet Ruby...

 

Hi all!  My name is Ruby Bisson. I am 15 and I live in Sydney, Australia. I have been scrapbooking for almost 2 years now and I love it. I am one of those teenagers who prefers to buy paper over clothes. Totally strange. I have a younger sister and a kitty. I live with my Mum and Dad and that’s about it  I look forward to working on this DT and working with Scrapbook ‘N Stuff’s amazing variety of products. Thanks for the opportunity!

Here is an example of Ruby's amazing & unique style...

New Page Kits!

We have had so many requests on class kits that we decided to dedicate an entire wall of our store to display them in!  Amongst these you are going to find the famous Scrapbooks & Stuff page kits   These kits come with enough product to create a double layout and with a picture of what one of our designers has created using only part of the kit. 

The first kit we have launched was designed by Pascale and has been titled Celebrate. Here is a peek of what can be done with the kit: With this layout you can preserve your memories using pictures that feature your loved ones having fun during any type of celebration: Birthday, Graduation, and many more....

Stop by the store and check our kits out!

Lots of Love,

Nana & Vanessa

Meet the Designers ~ Janie Boots (On-Line Designer)

I am pleased to introduce another of our talented Designers.... Janie!

 

 

Hi my name is Janie and I am ( gasp!!!) 39 years old. I am the mother of yes count them 5 boys ranging in ages of 21 years old all the way down to 4 years old. I am married to my soul mate Thomas and he is very supportive of my crafting. I started scrapbooking almost 7 years ago after the death of my mother.   I wanted a way to make a tribute of her for my boys to know who my mother was and how much she loved them. Well it's almost 7 years later and my hobby has turned into an obsession. I have been published 3 times and been on one other Design Team before.  I enjoy paper crafting and I love to alter items. My favourite is my treasure chest.

I am proud and honored to be working with such a great and diverse group of ladies here on Scrapbook N Stuff. I hope that everyone will enjoy and be inspired by mine and my fellow team members’ creations.

Thanks for looking in Cheers
Janie

Meet the Designers ~ Dawn Baty (On-Line Designer)

I am happy to introduce our next talented Designer... Dawn!

 

 

Hello my name is Dawn and I'm 38.  I'm a SAHM of two and a wife of 19 yrs to my wonderfully supportive husband, Mike. I've been scrapbooking seriously for 4 years & 7 months and papercrafting/card making for 2 years. I love creating with my hands, great way to lose myself and forget about everyday things for a short time.

 

My kids and family motivate me beyond my wildest dreams. Everyday is a new experience in the scrapbooking world. I love life and being with my family! When I'm not scrapbooking I work from my home as a caregiver to two wonderful sweet kids and I love my job. I'm delighted to be part of Scrapbooks N Stuff Design Team.

 

Here is one of Dawn's beautiful cards...

 

 

 

Have A Wonderful Day!
