Sweet Summer Days
Workshop 1
Saturday,
August 21, 9:00 AM-12:00 PM
Sunny days, swimming holes, hours just to play, vacations near and far, country fairs, ice cream, picnics, outdoor concerts, and lots more adventures make summertime the best time of the year! In this sweet album full of pockets and fold outs and places for all your summer "stuff," you'll be able to record and remember the days that fly by so quickly. It's perfect boys or girls or even you!
Using fresh new products from October Afternoon, Jenni Bowlin, American Crafts, and more, we'll work our folding magic on the pages of this album so you can include all the photos and memorabilia that gives your album its own special personality.
Tiny Tales
Workshop 2
Saturday, August 21, 2:00 PM- 5:00 PM
Imagine...
one day you're cleaning
out the attic and discover a dusty box of long forgotten treasures.
Inside you find a sweet, small book full of stories and pictures of
a girl with simple dreams and delightful tales. It's a little tattered
and looks well-loved. Wouldn't that be an amazing find? Let's make that
book together and fill it with YOUR stories and pictures. Who is that
girl? Who has she become? Who does she hope to be? Of course, there
are so many other things you can use this darling album for, too!
Autographs Photo Stand
Workshop 3
Sunday, August 22, 1:00 PM- 4:00 PM
Roses are red, violets are blue... Did you ever have an autograph album? It was fun to have your friends sign their name and write a silly little poem! This isn't actually an autograph album (unless you want it be) but a lovely display with two albums to show off your favorite photos of the people, places, and even things that have made an imprint, "an autograph," on your life. The albums can be displayed on the stand for a while and then replaced with new pictures so that you can rotate the albums with the seasons or new themes. You could make an album about the people of your life and another about the places of your life. You could also make a beautiful display with the pictures of gardens and scenery taken through the years.
Using some of my favorite products from 7gypsies, Jenni Bowlin, Tim Holtz Ideology, and more, we'll make one album full of techniques making page layouts and pockets and another small album with little pockets and pages to tuck your photos and treasures into.
(This project can be made without the stand, if desired. If you do not purchase the stand, you will need to purchase a refill pack of the photo stand vertical page protectors by 7gypsies and two binding rings. The refill pack #10082 contains 10 page protectors. The photo stand comes with 15 page protectors and the binding rings.)

More about Lauren....
Her books are full of earthy tones of color and texture. She creates art with her books. All the individual parts that are transformed into a book -- from the covers, to the stitching to the paper chosen to be signatures -- come together to sing a song. Each piece is chosen for the note and the harmony it brings to the music that is made.
After the birth of twin boys, Lauren decided to walk away from an academic career as an Epidemiologist with a degree from Harvard University to balance her new found love of life as a Mother and an Artist. As an imaginative craft designer, her work appears in national magazines.
Learn more about her and see her GORGEOUS work on her blog Everything Altered.

Stay-cation Crop '09
Crops have been sold out at the store and because we only have a small
space for 8 we talked with the landlord and he's allowing us to rent
Take Delight's old space for crop nights. If we have enough
participation we may do this on a regular basis (think how much room
you'll have)!
Join us for a "Stay-cation" in Hawaii.... who needs sun and sand when you have cold drinks, fun friends, and tons of memories to scrap! Hope you can join us!
I believe we'll have plenty of room for anyone who wants to come but just in case we will probably limit it to 25.
$10 just like regular crops ;)
Remember you must call to save your spot!
See you there-

So she thinks (and I do too) that you are getting a great value by coming to SCRAP and the CITY!

Looks like you are from out of town so email me your address and I'll mail it out to you (or hold it at the store until you visit at Thanksgiving ;)
Thanks guys for participating.... you are all going to be so busy over the next few weeks. I'm always amazed at all the fun new things people come up with to make!
Last night the Holiday Showcase was FANTASTIC! I just want to brag on my Design Team for a minute. They really came through for me with tons of cute projects for last night. If you heard about all the things they are committed to outside of the store you would be amazed they have any free time left! I'm going to post all the pictures today and the schedule of when we'll be doing the different projects at the store. These are definitely an inexpensive way to create a few gifts QUICK!
Some of you may have noticed :) a camera in our midst..... The lady behind the lens was Mrs. Christy Dorsey. She has been a photographer in the Marietta/ Atlanta area and has recently moved to Carrollton and is establishing her business Beadale Photography here in Carrollton. She will be at the store on Saturday, December 6th to do portraits!
She took some BEAUTIFUL pictures last night...
We love to support other local businesses. Be sure to check out her blog from her website to see more photos from last night and book your appointment on the 6th early to get the time you need!
We appreciate all the business and encouragement everyone has shown us over the last few months. You just don't know how your kind words impact us on a daily basis when it gets stressful! I have truly loved every minute of business ownership so far and I know I will continue to because I have been blessed that you aren't just customers but FRIENDS!
