or $30/year membership you can use the studio any time I am open. You
can use all my tools, stamps, die cutters etc and there is a great scrap
bin with tons of goodies. Children under 12 years old must be
accompanied by an adult. If you are a group of 4 or more please let me
know you are coming so I can ensure enough space.

  Want to book your own event or class? I will continue to book events,
classes, crops & parties. I need a lot of advanced notice for these events
I am very busy with bookings. If you have 4 or more people you can book
your event, class or party at your convenience. I do group events, crops,

size is perfect for scrapbooking items.

  The new Fall issue of The Canadian Scrapbooker should arrive early
September. Scrapbook & Cards Today will arrive late September. Both
these Canadian magazines are sold out quickly so when you see that
they have arrived please stop by the studio as soon as possible.

  Copic markers have been a huge hit, please let me know if you need a
specific colour or set and I will order it for you. The makers have been
selling extremely well and I am finding it hard to keep them in stock. Due
to the popularity of these markers I am now carrying rubber stamps,
everyone is looking for images to colour, so much fun!! I carry over 100
sketch colours and will order refills for you as well.

  Be sure to check out the 25 and 50 cent paper bins, as well as the
40% off discount bin, there are always new goodies being added every
week. There is always a coupon on the hard copy of this newsletter, this
season it is for 25% off any item.

  Please be sure to stop in to pick up your Fall contest kit & vote for the
Spring/summer projects. The kit is only $10 and it’s a surprise. I always
try to new papers that are not on the shelves for my kits. You create a
project using a little bit of everything in the kit and I post them up in the
studio. Feel free to make a mini album, cards, or scrapbooking pages,
the more creative the better. Studio visitors vote for their favourite & the
winner wins a $20 gift certificate.

  Many thanks to all of you who completed the summer survey, the
feedback was much appreciated. The winner of over $100 in products
will be listed on my web site/Face book after Aug. 31st.

          Thanks to everyone who donated unwanted scrapbooking items. I
will continue to take your unwanted scrapbooking items and share them
for use here in the studio or donate them to one of the many groups I
support ( schools, 4H, nursing homes etc.).
  If I don’t have a product you are looking for I will try to order it for you. I
offer all the latest names in paper crafting supplies. I also order kids craft
supplies/kits perfect for birthday gift giving, ask for more information. I
also take recycles bags, pop tabs, and coupons you don't need.
