Do simple objects, organized into unexplainably beautiful collections, leave you speechless? Join us at Treasured Memories on Monday evening, September 12th, from 7:00 to 9:00 pm where we'll try to give voice to that feeling.
Snacks and refreshment will be served, there will be a short 45 minute presentation. Please RSVP as soon as you can so we know how much Kool-Aid to make : )
We have chosen our menus for the month, we have some Make & Takes lined up, and we are ready to go! This means we have also updated the LNC page you can find at the top of the blog. Click here to see the menus for the month.
This week we are going to be chowing down on some amazing Extreme Pita food...those pita chips are addictive yo! And Lisa has designed a sweet postcard featuring Scarlett's Pick of the Week: American Crafts!
Lisa (that's me!) and Chantel had the honour and privilege of designing two TM kits for the month of September. I thought I would post a little sneak here of some of my layouts, to give you a taste and get you excited about the kits coming out in a couple of days!
Remember that all of our TM Month Kits have about $50 worth of product in them, all coordinating, all gorgeous and wonderful for only $35. WOW!
They are a steal of a deal and always make my scrapbooking go a little faster and easier...I don't have to mix and match things from my stash because all the paper and embellishments I might need are included in the kit!
I'm at 13 layouts and counting with my kit, and all I added was some cardstock! I've pretty much finished scrapbooking my two and a half week summer vacation, and I still had loads of product leftover to do those back-to-school photos!
These guys are only available in store, so come by starting September 1st to pick yours up. Or call ahead and have one (or both) put aside for you. I don't have any photos of Chantel's yet, but I have seen it and it is also wonderful!
And don't forget to check out the Inspiration Blog for all the layouts Chantel & I have created from our kits, shown in their entirety. You can click on this link for past and present layouts, or just wander over to the Inspiration Blog and check out all we have to offer there.
Nadine has another beautiful card class for you this month. I don't know how she does it, but I think they get more wonderful every month!! Here's her write-up...
It's that time of week again...time for me to share my Pick with you!
You know, you can pick your friends and pick your nose, but Mommy tells me not to pick my nose, so...I forget how the rest of that goes!!
What I do know is that my friends can take advantage of my pick and get some fun products at a great price this week!!
This week my pick is...drumroll please...American Crafts!!!
I absolutely love "the wall"...it's full of colour, and bling, and brads, and ribbon. And don't even get me started on those Thickers!!
And it's all on sale this week, all of it!
30% off
I hope to see all my Friends in the store this week, picking out some of their favourite American Crafts stuff!
Kathleen and Lisa have also done up some cute demos using some of my favourite American Crafts lines. So stop by our Show & Tell night on Tuesday, or sign up for the Late Night Crop on Friday to take part in these FREE Make & Takes!
Love Scarlett!
Did anyone else feel like this week sort of went on forever and ever? Or was it just me? At any rate, I am glad that today is Friday and I have a nice weekend to look forward to!
If you happen to have a couple of free hours on Saturday morning, I would love to see you in my Trends & Techniques class! Both of the layouts this month are sure to help you scrapbook those precious summer memories, with multiple spots for photos on each page. I've got some great new paper lines to work with, and you'll learn a thing or two about Copic Markers and Alcohol Inks!
I have some other classes news that I might as well share with you now, seeing as I've got your attention and everything!
With September fast approaching, we have a new slate of classes coming up. Watch for Kathleen's last vintage double page layout class, and another fabulous card class from Nadine.
The Saturdays are going to be busy for the store, with all the classes and parties we have scheduled, and with the two Canadian Scrapbook Carnival events we are attending! Mark your calendars for the last two weekends in September and watch the blog (and the store) for more details!
Don't forget that our September Kit is coming out next week! Chantel & I have been hard at work getting the kits and the layouts ready for you. I think Chan even has a sneak peek planned for Monday on the Inspiration Blog!

I love their take on Christmas! With all the Christmas products starting to flood into the store, each company has to make their lines stand apart from the rest, and I think Authentique did a GREAT job of this!
Another Monday has come, and that means another Late Night Crop update from yours truely!!
This week we are having pasta dinner, and I'll be demonstrating some basic Copic Marker techniques on a cute card!
