Fall Happenings 2005 Fall is here and the Scrapbooking is in full swing. There are plenty of new and exciting things happening for November and December. I have been working hard on reorganizing my scrapbook studio and getting new orders in. I’m really excited to announce the start of my web site Tinascrapbooking.com Now you can book classes, get information, browse all my products and more online. There is also a client gallery all of you are invited to submit your work. I am looking for testimonials and work that I’ve helped you create to post on the site. Let me know if you’d like to help out. For this month’s coupon you need to visit the site, so go have a look and spread the word. Check the website each week for layout ideas, papers of the week, specials and events. Sign up for our card exchange. You make several copies of the same card, depending on the number of people in the exchange (max 8). We will meet at the February cropping afternoon and everyone will have 8 different cards and 8 great ideas. Be sure to sign up at drop in night, by email or give me a call. Be sure to keep track of how you made the card and what supplies you used so we can all “scraplift” it There are tons of new products to check out. The new interiors papers from Chatterbox and the Junkitz line of matching papers and buttons are sure to get those creative juices flowing. I have received over 100 new items, come have a look or have a peek online. By request (thanks Tracy) I’ve started selling accordion Book kits. Everything you need to make 2 accordion albums for just $5.00. They are going fast! The kits include 2 sheet of patterned card stock, 10 sheets of 8 ½ x 11 card stock, the cardboard covers and even the ribbon. The page kits have been doing well and I am creating new ones all the time. You have to drop in to see them. Coming in the New Year will be card making kits, CD wall hanging Kits and paper bag album kits. Be sure to sign up early if you are interested in a class to avoid disappointment. This month’s new class is the Holiday card making class. It will be in early November to be sure everyone has time to start making their cards. Drop in nights will continue for Thursday and Friday evenings, 7:30 to 9:30 PM. Come socialize, work on your projects, meet new people, or sign out a book. If you can let me know you are coming ahead of time, email or call. Also new is the frequent buyer card. Come and pick up your card. When you purchase $20 of Scrapbooking products you get a stamp. When your card is full you can redeem it for $20.00. Classes coming up in the New Year include, advanced techniques Scrapbooking classes, embellishment classes and the paper bag album.

Still ongoing is the lending library. I have subscriptions to al the best Scrapbooking and card making magazines as well as several Scrapbooking books. Come sign one out for only $1.00. Have some stickers you thought you’d use but have been sitting around for ages. The “Take a Sticker leave a Sticker” basket is for you. Leave some stickers and take some next time you stop by. Thanks to Susan the basket has some great Sandylion stickers in it already. The basket also has paper, embellishments and many other treasures, come have a look. Your trash is sure to be someone else’s treasure. There will be a Cropping afternoon in December. All of us will need a break from shopping. Mostly we’ll need some motivation and time to get all of our Christmas gift projects finished. Bring a snack or $5.00 to join in the fun. I always have a special offer that day and other surprises. Come meet some new Scrapbooking friends and enjoy an afternoon out. Don’t forget I have gift certificates available and can put together a nice scrapbookers gift pack for all those on your list.
