It's time for a Scrapbook Yard Sale!  If you have scrapbooking & paper crafting "overstock" that you'd like to sell, then this is the event for you! 
You may sell any scrapbook, rubber stamp, storage containers, stickers, inks  & even handmade creations.  This is a Yard Sale, so customers will be expecting Yard Sale prices.
 
Here are the details:
Cost to participate is $15 per table inside the store.   Each customer is responsible for setting up and working their own table. Set up starts at 11 AM.

Cosmo Cricket and a bit of Pink Paisley

  

    Wow! I may be on a roll . . . I actually got the second layout done for "Operation Re-do George's Baby Book"! George was my parents first grandchild and he had an especially amazing bond with his grandfather. Instead of working chronologically, I did a themed layout about their relaltionship using Bella Boulevard's Mr. Boy line. (This layout stirred up a few tears since losing my Dad 10 years ago.) I don't know if I enjoyed working with combining the printed papers more or playing with their chipboard embellishments! Also used in this layout were circles cut from Spellbinders, New cotton Felt Fusion from Queen & Company (already adhesive-backed they applied like a dream!), Momenta's Puffy Stickers ("hugs"), and lots of embellies from Jillibean Soup's Blossom Soup's cardstock stickers. Also, loved getting yet another use from Jillibean's Corrugated alphies! Onto layout number 3...  Lisa C.
