A HUGE THANK YOU!!!!
Our National Scrapbooking Day was an incredible success as all of those who attended told us.  The Demos that Ivana did had even the most experienced scrapbookers learning  new things at the same time the new scrapbookers could still enjoy and learn without being overwhelmed.  As I was going through my notes I realized we definitely told all of you who attended who the sponsors were but we did not put them on the blog.  We ask that when you are purchasing things in the future that you consider supporting our sponsors - without them it would be tough to put the events on.
1. Lisa Hamm - Isagenix - Many of you know Lisa and know since starting her Isagenix business, not only has she easily lost many pounds but she feels terrific!  Check out her site at

We still have a bit of room in our National Scrapbooking Day Crop - Why not come and join us?  Wait till you see the loot bags and check out the demos we will be having during the crop.....  Call 955-3236 to reserve your spot.

We continuously get questions from puzzled customers on how to use some of the most popular products on the market today, like Glimmer Mist, Paint Dabbers, Distress Inks, etc. All some customers need to hear is one of our staff explain how a product is used and then they are ready to leap in and try out a new product. Most customers, however, prefer to see how a product is used rather than trying to figure it out all on their own. So, in response to the numerous questions, we have created a demo series to be held during the NATIONAL SCRAPBOOKING DAY CROP to help everyone out on their journey in learning how to use some of these incredible products! Below is a schedule of the demos to be held throughout the event:


Distress-to-Impress
Distressing is all the rage, and we want you to learn how to use some of the most popular products on the market that can help you take your pages to the next level! Learn how to use Tim Holtz Distress Inks, Adirondack Paint Dabbers, Tim Holtz Distress Crackle Paint, and many more distressing products! Also learn numerous techniques to help you make the new look like the old for simply impressive results!


Demystified - Smooch vs Glimmer Mist vs Tsukineko Shimmerz
You may have caught yourself gazing at the gorgeous array of shimmery spray colours or you may just have bought your new bottle of shiny, sparkly misting ink. Either way, you have also heard EVERYONE talking about glimmering this, spraying that, altering this, and distressing that….but you have no idea where to start! Don’t let these amazing products fool you – just because they look stunning on every project that they are used on, it does not mean that they are difficult to use or that you need any special expertise to start glimmering away!


First of all, do you know the difference between these three fabulous products?! In this demo we will talk about what sets glimmer mist, smooch and tsukineiko shimmers apart, because each product has unique qualities and is best suited for specific projects.


Second, we will delve into the amazing world of shiny, shimmery spray inks to show you basic and innovative ways to use these products! We will answer questions like: ‘So what exactly can you do with glimmer mist?’ and help you resolve the never-ending battle of finding just the right colour for your layout! If you love grunged, or distressed paper or if you simply love all things that sparkle – we will show you how glimmer mist is the solution to all of your creative desires!


Quite simply, we are certain that you will find glimmering as addictive as we all do, and that is why we want to share a few demos with you on how to get started using this amazing product!


Bling it Up!
Sparkle! Shine! Dazzle! We all love rhinestones, glitter and pearls – but sometimes you just can’t seem to find that perfect colour, or that perfect flourish, or that perfect paper…  How about trying something a little different? Do you know that there are many ways to bling up your page without using conventional rhinestones or pearls? Let us show you how to achieve a similar look using liquid pearls, stickles and other mediums to add a whole new dimension to your pages!


Flower Power
Prima has always been a leader in flower embellishments and some of their latest creations are beautiful, luxurious, fabric flowers. Learn how to make your own so you never have to be stuck on a colour again. If you would rather rely on the talented Prima team than your own creations, learn how to take some of their popular designs and give them even more dazzle and umph! By the time we finish this demo, you will feel so flower im-powered and recharged with so many new ideas that putting pages together will be a snap!

It is a brilliant, sparkly, water-based liquid ink that can be used in as many ways as you can imagine! You can simply use glimmer mist to add colour and sparkle to paper, flowers, chipboard, ribbon, fabric, canvas, etc…You can step it up a notch by using beautifully designed Tattered Angels Glimmer Screen stencils to create your own patterned paper, and then go even further by using coordinating clear stamps which you can spray with glimmer mist to create a water-coloured design.


If this is not exciting you, how about using this beautiful glimmer to add to other mediums to jazz them up a bit. Why not spray a smidgen of it on your non-stick craft mat and grab a paint brush to colour in all of your stamped images? Or how about, creating your own custom colours for a signature look every time!



 It is definitely going to be a fun event!
