Busy Week in our Scrappy World!

We are in full craft mama mode this week as we count down the days to the 11th Annual Winterfest Craft Fair in gorgeous Saratoga Springs, and plan for our Super Crop Sunday 8 Hour Crop. We are hoping that Saratoga turns out to be a fab venue for all of our handmade paper goodies, and we manage to spread lots of paper love with our Valentines creations (our tables are going to be a sea of pink/red/white!!!). If you’re feeling even the slightest bit of cabin fever right about now, definitely plan on heading out to visit the fair…don’t forget to swing by and say hi!

We’ve added a ton of new events to our calendar as well and hope to keep the scrap ball rolling in the months to come. Our goal is to give all of our scrappy friends (new and old!) an opportunity to get out during these long winter months and come together for some productive and creative fun! Our Scrapbooking Meetup Group is growing every week and we’re so happy to be able to reach out to so many local scrappers. We’re very much looking forward to meeting some new friends at our upcoming events. A few new details:

  • 2/22: Girl’s Night Out @ Blue Dog Arts 6:30-midnight ($10, snacks and scrapping)
  • 3/8: Midnight Madness @ Blue Dog Arts 5-midnight ($25, dinner, snacks and scrapping)
  • 4/12: Crafting for a Cure @ Bethlehem Lutheran Church, 9-5 ($40 benefiting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, breakfast, lunch, snacks, prizes, raffle,etc.!)

Stay tuned for more announcements!

My Mind’s Eye is in the Studio!

We recently received a HUGE shipment of awesome Valentine’s themed goodies from our beloved My Mind’s Eye! To say that we were a little giddy when the box arrived is a complete understatement! We’ve been waiting (not very patiently) to get our hands on this fab new paper, especially with our next Valentine’s Day themed craft fair coming up so very soon. We spent some quality time in Doulla’s studio yesterday digging into the new goods and working our creative magic upon them…talk about FUN! For now, a few items are available in our Doullina Etsy Shop and we’ll definitely be adding more during the upcoming week.
Here’s a lovey dove little preview:

Winter Wonderland Crop=Wonderful Time!

We can’t thank everyone enough for helping to make our 1st 12 hour crop such a scrappy success! We met so many nice scrappers, and had an opportunity to spend the entire day with some of our friends whom we don’t get to see too often…what a treat! We are very much looking forward to another fun day of scrapping, sharing ideas, and chatting with you all again soon!

Twas the Night Before the Winter Wonderland Crop…

Yay! The day has nearly arrived folks and we are in frantic mode packing and double checking our lists, packing some more, triple checking our lists…did we mention packing? We wanted to add a few last minute reminders

  • Updated Parking info has been added to our Events Page
  • We will have a CD player available, so please feel free to bring your own tunes and we’ll take turns playing Scrap DJ throughout the day!
  • If you forget to pack some items, never fear, Beth will be setting up her Creative Memories shop, and Doullina will have additional items available for sale.
  • Our Cricut Expressions machine will be available for use, along with our 13 cartridge library.  If you have your own machine and were wondering whether or not to pack it, feel free to use ours and just bring your cartridges if you’d like.

We can’t wait to meet all of you and hope that you have a fantastic day scrapping with us!
