The CHA releases just keep getting better and better! We always wonder how they can get any better than the last year but they do...... We are totally excited about all the incredible product that is new and exciting. Keep watch as we unveil all the new arrivals!

New this past week WeR Memory Keepers Heart Attack Collection!

Thanks to everyone that helped make our last two conventions such a success!! We were a bit concerned over having two within a week of each other but it was great fun and the comments we received back seem to say that a fantastic time was had by all! A special THANK YOU to Tammy who is a sales consultant for Gramma's Attic for her prize donations. All the money raised from her prize donations went to the Hemophila society. Check out her wonderful products at http://www.grammas-attic.com/ and if you wish to order anything you can reach her at 239-4829!

STICKLES ARE BACK IN STOCK AGAIN! ! ! I can not believe how quick they fly off the shelves. We have an absolutely beautiful selection of them but I do recommend shopping early for best selection.

Bling, Bling and more Bling has again arrived as well!

I will blog again and let you know many of the wonderful new arrivals over the next couple of days!

I opened a surprising Special Delivery Package today - Alliance Films has sent us a package with one of their latest movies - Inkhart along with Screening Passes for a special preview of this movie. They have asked us to pass the complimentary passes to our customers and staff.

Here is what they have told us about the movie:

"INKHEART is a thrilling adventure that stars Brendan Frases as Mo Folchart, a father who possesses a secret ability to bring characters from books to life when he reads them aloud. But when Mo accidentally brings a power-hungry villain from a rare children's fable to life, the villain kidnaps Mo's daughter and demands Mo bring other evil fictional characters to life. In an attempt to rescue his daughter, Mo assembles desparate group of friends - both real and magic - and embarks on a journey to save her and set things right."

These passes are for Monday January 19th at 7:00 in the Galaxy Cinemas.

Come in and make a purchase on Saturday January 17th and put your name in our draw to win one of five free pass for you and a friend!

Well I can see I missed my personal goal of blogging six days a week. We have been busy, busy ordering new products, preparing class after class and more. Just a quick reminder that the January promotion for members is pick any one product of your choice for 25% off! ! ! Just let us know before we ring you through the till and we will be happy to give you the great deal!

Our first convention sold out immediately and we have a waiting list that is just about long enough to fill a second convention so we are having our second convention on Saturday January 24th! Yes, you are welcome to register for both. For those of you who did not hear about our convention we actually won a Scrapbook Convention with one of our suppliers! Here is the information we had originally emailed out

Saturday January 17th from 12:00 – 12:00 Midnight
Seats are going fast, so we recommend registering quickly because each person is receiving a full table, an incredible loot bag, supper, snacks, make and take and more! All for only $40.00, of which $5.00 from the registration goes to the Hemophilia Society! Most of the Prizes (did I mention over $250.00 in Door Prizes – Loot Bags that are simply amazing) came from Memories Wholesale in Edmonton as we won a Crop from them! This is one Crop you will not want to miss! Registration has already started and we are half full already so I expect this Crop will fill quickly!

The date for our second crop is Saturday January 24th from 12:00 – 12:00 Midnight!!

This second crop has a waiting list but we have had 7 people of the original waiting list not yet confirm their attendance so on Monday their spots become available and will be offered to the people on the current waiting list. This sounds to confusing so the short and long of it is if you wish to attend call 955-3236 and the next three people who call will have a fairly good chance of attending.

It was wonderful seeing the Crop room so full tonight. So many people ready to get back into Scrapbooking after the holiday season. If you happened to miss Scrapmania tonight we still have room on Monday night - why not join us?

We have been busy putting out some of the new arrivals - products like close to 60 different colors of Stickles and Liquid Pearls. Your scrapbooking and cardmaking will truly sparkle with these wonderful acid-free glitter glues or try the Liquid Pearls which give it a pearlized look! The Distress Stickles we have not had a chance to use yet but I have heard very favourable things about them.

12 x 12 Gloss Paper in both Black or White.

This Acid Free Cardstock is a very high quality product that is fantastic for stamping, brayering, embossing and more.

Also have you tried the Ranger Non-Stick Craft Sheet?

This product is an award-winning product that is absolutely incredible. With its 9 x 12 inch size it provides protection to your work surface. It is heat resistant up to 400 degrees and it repels liquids. You can actually safely heat emboss on it, iron on it and more The slick surface is easily cleaned up by peeling off paints, embossing powders, glues and more. You can reuse it over and over again. How about putting it over top of your pan and using it in your oven for shrink art and more. Try using glossy accents for pebble making and simply peel off once it is dry.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

What a wonderful way to start the New Year - Scrapmania! Yes we still have room on Friday January 2nd from 6:00 - Midnight. This event is for both Members and Non-Members - join us for prizes, food, make and take and more!
