And the WINNER is........... (drumroll please)


Tracy Ng! ! ! !





For those of you who were not at our Members Appreciation Crop you are probably wondering what draw....... We totally appreciate all of our customers but our Member's have paid a fee for more benefits and we aim to please. All of our Members were invited to a Free Members Appreciation Crop this past weekend where we gave out prizes and more prizes - Thank you for coming gifts, food etc. At the end of the weekend we put everybody's name in the drum and picked one Members name who won the XXL tote. Congratulations Tracy and thanks to all of you who attended this fun event!

Here are some of the layouts our staff have been working on lately! They are hanging in the store and of course look even better in person. Check out this first layout where Cayla used Bazzill wedding papers and stamped swirls on the letters to match the background papers!



Gwen has totally outdone herself with this layout as she cut around the Basic Grey's latest paper.


Lisa has created a fantastic summertime layout with some of the latest arrivals in the store!
