New Karen Foster from CHA!

2010-02-26T10:45:00.000-08:00

Here's a sampling of some of the great new products I received from my CHA order at the wonderful, friendly Karen Foster Design booth:

I'll probably be using this paper in a layout remembering my Dad:

I love this Easter line! It's so beautiful and the colors are so nice. Maybe I'll actually make a point of taking some Easter photos this year!

Now I've had this paper before, but it was so popular I just had to bring it back! Besides, I have a photo of Toffee when she was a puppy and she had completely torn up an entire box of tissues all over the living room floor! Bad to the bone, indeed....

This is great paper for those photos you have of all the injuries of childhood... or adulthood, depending on how much the people in your life get hurt!

If you go camping alot, here's a great paper to use in some of the camping layouts!

An oldie, but goodie! This is a great bowling paper. It's a little retro-looking, but shows how much fun you can have while bowling a game. I have some funny pictures of Brian bowling with the Wii... I feel a layout coming on!

Any baptisms coming up in the lives of your family or friends? Well, here's a very nice paper that would be great to use! Luckily it's not gender specific, so you can use it for anyone!

This paper cracks me up! The owl really makes it for me and makes me giggle every time I see it. Perfect for those layouts of your family...

So, I got a little behind in my postings, but I'm trying to get caught up, so bear with me! We have had quite a few things coming in stock lately with more to come, so keep your eyes here for more information!

New SEI !

2010-02-08T15:11:00.000-08:00

It's me! I'm back from visiting my Mom in Vegas over the weekend and have lots to open! Here's what was in the first box.... new SEI papers! Unfortunately, SEI doesn't have the whole line posted on their website yet, so I can't show you precisely what I purchased. The paper below is part of the line I got, but not this particular sheet (I thought it was way too busy), but I did get 3 patterned papers in the Happy Day line, plus two of the two-sided, two-colored cardstock sheets that coordinate with the papers... oh so cute! These are now on the shelves and in the birthday section, so come in and get yours today!

Quick note... I also received six new colors of their amazing velvet papers, so you won't want to miss getting these. In addition to the new SEI papers, I'm also trying another new ink pad for stamping and distressing. These SEI ink pads are now here on the shelves in 20 amazing colors! These inkpads are superior in quality with fabric tops, not the spongy kind that shred, fall apart, and fall off like those other ink pads. You will definitely want to try these, so come get yours today!

I'm at CHA!!!!

2010-01-24T21:35:00.000-08:00

It's been way too long since my last post, but honestly, there wasn't much new product coming in at the end of the year, so there wasn't a lot to say, but I'm back!

I spent all day today at CHA looking through all the booths to find the most amazing things and I placed some great orders! Pioneer has come out with some new albums that are gorgeous! Unfortunately, the new ones won't ship until, I think they said, May... or was it March... one of those "M" months! LOL I replenished my existing supply though as well.

Need Glue Glider refills? They'll be coming in soon... including a new 3-pack of Perma Tac refills they just released!

Did someone say TIM HOLTZ?! His new stuff is amazing and I have it on order! Woohoooo... you're going to love it all!

I already have the Basic Grey Origins and Sugar Rush lines in the store and on the shelf! Origins is a beautiful natural kind of line... lots of greens and browns and simply beautiful! Sugar Rush is all happy and Valentine's-y and every paper is named for a candy that we grew up eating as kids... lots of fun! Sorry, I couldn't include photos... the new Basic Grey website won't allow me to lift images anymore! Boo hoooo!

Did someone say WOOD?! Creative Imaginations has released their new wood line of "paper"... real wood cut so thin that it seems like paper. It's AMAZING! You can even run it through your Cricut or your Cuttlebug for embossing! That's on the shelves and ready for you to take home! You must see it to believe it!

Best Creations has already shipped me their new line that was debuted at CHA today! A Princess line for girls, a Transportation line for boys, and the most beautiful Wedding line you have ever seen! Below is just a small taste of them, since I can't post all 20-something pages I received. Also, new Glitter papers in some very cool new colors... come check them out and see for yourself!

Well, tomorrow (Monday) is day 2 of CHA and I have ALOT to see! I'll try to post some more tomorrow if I'm not to pooped! Goodnight!

New Karen Foster!

2009-11-15T17:04:00.001-08:00

I received some new ADORABLE papers from Karen Foster Designs on Friday, so I made a couple layouts with some of them. Knights and Princesses and Dragons, oh my! These are so cute I can hardly stand it! I also got some Valentine's Day and St. Patrick's Day papers too, but didn't get a chance to do layouts yet. I'll get to them soon.... come get yours soon, because with how awesome these papers are, I'm sure they won't last!

New Disney By Sandy Lion

2009-11-15T17:00:00.001-08:00

OK, so how stinkin' cute are these new Disney papers and stickers by Sandy Lion! I've been hoping they would come out with something new! Now, if they're listening, I'd like to request some other characters please... Mickey is great, but some of the others would be good too!

Slacker! Well, that's me!

2009-11-13T14:28:00.000-08:00

Oooooh, so I'm a slacker! How the heck did over a month go by without me blogging? Ugh! It's crazy! I've been so busy keeping up the website and everything else that it slips my mind at times. Well, I hope you can forgive me just this once.... and maybe every other time that it's happened! LOL

Well, we've got LOTS of fun new stuff in the store. Here's just a taste....

New Bo Bunny Love Bandit and Persuasion lines... these papers and embellishments are so beautiful! The photos just do NOT do them justice, so come in for yourself and see! Here are some photos... and this isn't all of it. It's just a sample sampling to whet your appetite!

For all you SCOR-PAL lovers, or even for those of you interested in them, the Scor-Pals, accompanying cutting mat, and the 1/8" or 1/4" Scor-Tape, are all back in stock! Come and get them. These have been so popular and hard to find, but I have them. If you want to learn some awesome tricks for folded projects, this is the tool you need!

I'll get some more photos and post a bit more later. Thanks for your patience! I'll do better in the future! :)

Tonic Studios!

2009-10-04T11:44:00.000-07:00

Did I mention how much I LOVE this company??? I've just begun carrying their tools, but they are amazing! Tonic Studios is the maker of some of Tim Holtz's best tools... Tim Holtz Precision Scissors, Retractable Paper Piercers, Craft Knives, Distressers, and Scratchers, not to mention a really great (an affordable) 12" paper trimmer with some very cool features! And their paper trimmer comes with a Scoring blade that actually scores and doesn't cut like the other manufacturer that starts with an "F"! Come check these tools out, because I know you will love them as much as I do!

The 3/50 Project!

2009-06-01T17:01:00.000-07:00

I recently heard about The 3/50 Project from another store owner and thought it was worth posting on our blog. Here goes:

1. What three independently owned businesses would you miss if they suddenly disappeared? Stop in. Say hello. Pick up something that brings a smile. Your purchases are what keeps those businesses around.

2. If half the employed population spent $50 each month in locally owned, independent businesses, it would generate more than $42.6 billion in revenue. Imagine the positive impact if three-quarters of the employeed population participated, and not just half!

3. For every $100 spent in locally owned independent stores, $68 returns to the community in taxes, payroll, and other expenditures. If you spend that in a national chain, only $43 stays in the community. Spend it online and nothing comes home.

4. The number of people it takes to start the trend... you! Just one person is all it takes to get started.

Pick 3 stores. Spend $50. Save your local economy!

That's it! Now, it's important to note that this project is not suggesting you spend $50 per month at each of three stores. They are suggesting for you to spend $50 a month at a combination of three stores.

I can tell you for sure that I have several independently-owned stores that I would desperately miss if they closed! I, for one, will start on this project idea immediately! I realize times are tough for everyone, including me, but it takes a community to save a community. So get started!

Pick your three favorite independently-owned stores. If you consider one of them to be The Scrapbook Garden, thank you! We could definitely use the help since things are slow everywhere, here included. Just be sure to pick at least three and start supporting your local community!

Thanks for listening everyone and I hope to see you soon!

New Papers to Celebrate America!

2009-06-01T11:04:00.001-07:00

I got a big, beautiful box from Designs by Reminisce on Friday, checked it in and put it right out! This paper line is gorgeous with a capital G! The photo below just does not do it justice, so come in and check it out for yourself.

I also received for new papers from the Rockin America line by Rusty Pickle and they are very nice and oh so patriotic! I don't order much from this company anymore for reasons I should keep to myself, but I couldn't pass up on the papers I received. Fireworks, flags, the Statue of Liberty, stars and stripes! I was unable to download photos of only what I ordered, so I'll just give you the names: Star Spangled Banner, Going To America, You're a Grand Old Flag, and Independence Day. Come get yours!

A Month???

2009-04-23T12:05:00.000-07:00

OMG! Has it really been a whole month since I blogged? Shame on me! Honestly, the bus tour had me crazy busy and I had a lot of boxes to get opened and put away before that date, so I just didn't get around to it, and for that I apologize. Let's start fresh from here then, shall we?

I ran out of the 12x12 page refills a week or so ago, but I just got the box in today so they're back in stock! I've put out a whole bunch of different vellums that are oh so pretty, so come in and check those out soon.

We have some great classes coming up, so go here: http://www.thescrapbookgarden.com/artman2/publish/Calendar/index.shtml and see what we have in store for you.

Colors include emerald, turquoise, amethyst, silver, gold, bronze, garnet, iridescent pearl, and a non-metallic charcoal that can be used as a dark base. Truly amazing... come get yours today. We also received a bunch of cool rub-ons, transparencies, and stamps from this company as well.

Post Winner

2009-03-16T12:23:00.001-07:00

Hi everyone! Sorry, I'm a week behind (what else is new?)... but I'm here to announce the winner of the posting contest.

jennmom2000

You're the winner! Jen, please stop by the store to pick out your choice of Petaloo flowers!

New Pioneer Albums

2009-03-05T17:39:00.000-08:00

Okay, so I love the company, but they don't have a very good website. I just received a big box of 12x12 Cloth Frame albums in the 3-Ring variety from Pioneer Photo Albums. If you love 3-ring binder albums, then these are just the ticket! Sorry, there's no image (seems like a theme lately, huh?), but I believe these are so new there aren't any on the web anywhere to be found, so I'm not alone! Well, anyhow, I got four beautiful colors... Red, Black, Brown, and a gorgeous Royal Blue. Come see them soon, because I know you'll love them!
