Last Day at CHA

Well, today is our last day at the show. We're all packed up (and do I mean packed). We're bringing back some samples and catalogs so we can show you all of the amazing products we picked out for the store. We even ran into a couple of our customers down here (thanks, Jenn, for helping me spend more money). :) Despite the fact that there are far less manufacturers here than usual, we sure are finding some adorable products! Today's goal is to finish up a few orders and win as many prizes as possible (although I don't know how much more our suitcases can take). It's been nice visiting with my family during the show, which I haven't done in a very long time. This has been a fun and productive trip so far, and we can't wait to share our inspiration with everyone back at home! See you on Friday!

We're All Getting Excited!

Today was a productive day at the trade show. We are loaded up with samples and giveaways for the store, and it's only day one! A highlight of our day was talking to Suze Weinberg briefly, and we all share the excitement for learning new crafting techniques. We're all looking forward to her class at the store next month. Katie and I grabbed a picture with Suze while she was demonstrating at the Ranger booth.

We're in Orlando for CHA!

Coming to you... Live! From CHA Orlando (well, it hasn't actually started yet, but soon)! Katie and I made it to the convention center, where she's at - as we speak- taking a class from Tim Holtz! We plan on keeping you posted from Orlando throughout the week so you can all drool about what's new just like we will! Stay tuned...

Weekend Crop was fun... again!

We had a great turnout for our Weekend Crop! There were a lot of prizes to go around, and we had many winners. Our paper bag drawing is always fun, and we had some great prizes... Nancy Evans won a rolling cart, Sharon Crispin (lucky gal these days) won a Mini Clip It Up, and one of our croppers from Lansing won a Clip It Up Ribbon Organizer! There were over 30 other prizes and plenty of scrapbooking all weekend!

New Line from Dream Street Papers

Urban Ink, one of the newest lines from Dream Street, arrived this week. This line is perfect for teen boys, or anything rock! There are cool rub-ons and alphas to match as well.

New QuicKutz Folders arrive just in time!

Our QuicKutz Epic Release Party was today, and we did a fun make & take, had some snacks (always good) and played with some really cool dies and embossing folders! The new QK embossing pocket series arrived this week in time for the party, and we also have a few new Epic 6 Machines (hopefully arriving by the end of this weekend) on their way. For those who pre-ordered, you may pick yours up when they arrive. We will fill pre-orders and those purchasing now until the machines are gone, at which time you can pre-order for our next shipment (expected in August). As we mentioned before, the Epic 6 tool retails for $89.99, but you can purchase yours from Scrappy Chic for $69.99 for a limited time!

New Fall Products from EK & K&Co.

We received our order of Fall & Halloween products from EK Success and K & Company. The Tim Coffey lines are classic, and the EK Halloween products are so versatile! There are a bunch of new punches, including 2-punch sets (perfect for cards).
