Expand on the Basics

I realize many of you have been scrapping or making cards for some time now. I think we tend to forget the basics. I know I do at times. I thought it would be nice to remind ourselves about those Back to Basics.

Punches are great for adding a little something extra to your design. There are many styles for creating fabulous corners - some even have an extra touch of unique style. The Paper Shapers line offers literally hundreds of punches in all shapes and sizes. If a beginner scrapbooker, try sticking to basic shapes like circles and squares for the most versatility.

Stickers are the most diverse group of page or card enhancements. In addition to simple shapes, designs and icons (flowers and leaves, bugs or sport accessories), stickers are now available in decorative alphabet letters, catchy phrases and sentiments, destination locations (complete with scenic images) and titles! A few fun ones to work with are:
Phrase Café - cute and sassy phrases in many styles and themes
Tag Types - a collection of alphabets in various colors and fonts
Classic Stickers - a broad selection of sticker shapes, themes, icons, scenes and elements in a range of different materials (vellum, glitter, metallic, opalescent) for capturing all of life's adventures

Fibers are great add-ons for the texture and movement that they provide to page designs. Available in a huge selection of colors and a broad array of fiber styles, they range from thick or delicate to solid or variegated - the choice selection is endless! As an added bonus, all Adornaments fibers coordinate with the Color Selector tool.

Thankful

The T-day coming up I thought I'd share what I am thankful for... seems like I'm first thankful for a day that you can pig out & not worry what everyone thinks when you go for that second helping of schmashed potatoes.. ya know?! Plus a day to be with family and or friends. I'm thankful for the gals who have supported me & work here at the store.. without them I'd be a zombie half the time. They keep me on my toes here. I am thankful for the wonderful guest that have come into the store. I have met some new faces & friends .... thank you much. I'm always thankful for the 2 boywonders in my life- my husband Dan & my son Cameron. I thank you all for the support- kindness- love & all that jazz.

The store will be closed Wednesday- Thursday & Friday. I am not closing to make sure I can be in the Black Friday lines.. oh no..not me. I may be crazy to do it once.. but I'm not that crazy to do it twice! All of us here wish you & your family a Happy Thanksgiving.
