We are excited about the next set of events starting here at Scrapbooks Etc on Saturday!

We have been busy creating this week 12 new projects for you! Each day Starting Saturday December 11th, we will be holding a "mini" make and take session here at the shop! Each day for the next 12 days we will be helping you create a simple project as a gift for a loved one, teacher, co-worker, or those silly white elephant exchanges that are so popular these days!

I will post each day here on our blog, what the next day's project will be! This coming Saturday we will start with a gift card holder. You will create a 3 pocket "mini" album that will hold up to 3 gift cards. This little project will be great for anyone on your christmas list!

Check out the photo below of the project. We will offer this project to you Saturday December 11th only from 11am-2pm. Stop in anytime it's convinent to you during the time frame and make this cute little gift for only. $5.00 each. Each project will include the package of cute snowman woolies!

This project will be popular! Make sure to stop in early to create yours! Projects will only last as long as the supplies!

See you Saturday!

Holiday Extravaganza Fun!

Last week we held our 1st annual Holiday Extravaganz here at the shop! It was a HUGE success!

I have heard nothing but positive feedback from the event! We definately went over our time limit on projects, but when you are having as much fun as we were creating, it all worked out!

Here are some picutures from the fun event! Enjoy!

We also enjoyed the fun with Michelle Granger. A Quick Quotes teacher! Michelle lives here in Orlando Florida, but has traveled with QQ all around the world teaching for them at huge conventions, and on the road events! We were very excited to welcome Michelle back into our store for the second time to teach an awesome 18x18 Family Canvas, just in time for holiday gift giving! Thanks Michelle for coming in and teaching for us, and signing our creative wall! We can't wait to have you back again!

Here are a few other photos of our Holiday Extravaganza peeps, working away on their canvas'!

Thanks to all the fun ladies that joined our Holiday Extravaganza this year! It was a phenomenal day, and from Scrapbooks Etc to Creativity Botuique, we want to let you all know that we had a great time, and can't wait to start planning the next event!

Thank you!

Catching Up!

Wow,

Time flies when your having fun, and that we have had!

I don't think I have had time to update the blog since all the fun began! I have some fun pictures to share with you of our visit and classes that we had with Lance Anderson of Rusty Pickle!

Lance was an awesome teacher with tons of fun techniques! We had alot of fun in our small private setting classes, which were perfect because of the detailed technique in the classes! Thanks Lance for visiting our shop, and hanging with us!

These are some of the finished projects that I have here in the shop! Yes, if you missed out on the fun, it's ok! We do have just a few extra kits!

After the fun with the album creating, Lance did some AWESOME artwork on our wall! I was so excited to see him create in action!

Lance is very good friends with Jen Starr who we had a few months back, so Lance was so funny when he decided to create! He wanted to make sure his "artwork" stood out compared to Jen's! So here are the fun pictures he took with our wall just for Jen!

Jen I think the idea behind this is that your artwork is "little" compared to his!

But, Don't worry Jen, Your work is just as special to me as his is! LOL.

love you both!

Then the famous picture of us together was taken, and it was a little frightening to say the least.......LOL

Thanks Lance for the fun day! We can't wait to have you back! And thank you to all the customers who supported us and Lance by taking his awesome classes! It was an awesome day!

xoxo,

Coleen
