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.  
All customer yard sale purchases must be made using Scraps Cash (store credit).
 
  Scraps Cash is not redeemable for actual cash but can be used for purchases at Photo Scraps.
 We will have the Scraps Cash available for purchase starting May 9th.
 
This is a great way to clear out your stash of things you haven't used in a bit & in turn get credit to buy the latest & greatest supplies to start fresh!

 

 

 

  Save a Tree, be a Photo Scraps Bag Lady 

  

 

Everyone has been asking when the bag lady bags would be here and they have arrived.  This year  Quick Quotes has been nice enough to sponsor our Photo Scraps Bag Ladies.  We love their wonderful class kits.   Photo Scraps wants to do our part in the movement to go Green. Many manufacturers are using recycled papers and soy inks. Quick Quotes has provided us fun tote bags to give out to our customers who want to go green. Spend $100 on merchandise (Gift Certificates, class fees and crops not included) and you will receive a free tote bag.

 

Here is the best part. All of our Photo Scraps Bag Ladies will enjoy 5% off of all future purchases in 2011 just for reusing your bag.  We will also have special Bag Ladies Bonus Days throughout the year.  (Bag must be present for discount to apply. Discount can not be combined with any other discounts or promotions. Not valid for Gift Certificates, classes

or crops.)

Mini Baskets from Tina

Wow! This is my first blog posting - seriously... I know the month is almost over and we'll be designing something new in a week, but I really did need to learn how to do this...


 

I know most of you have seen the little mini-baskets that I could not resist making. Traditionally baskets = Easter this time of year, but I wanted you to think out side of the box (or in this case basket :D) so I added the friendship one. Think of the smile you will receive as you hand someone one of these sweet little baskets. I have to give kudos to Jill who told me she saw little baskets like these and described them so well - it was almost a tutorial - and here they are! I used Hometown - Summer and Fruit Stand - Green Acres card stock for the basket bases, ribbon for the handles and a scallop circle punch for the doilie effect on the outside of the basket. The fence boarder is a Fiskars punch - LOVE IT!!!! The treats inside were stamped using Stampendous Friendship Assortment, Impression Obsession Just Because and Happy Easter and of course, colored in with lots of copic markers. Have to go. Next blog will be on the mini album.
