Now with Halloween behind us, we look ahead to Thanksgiving, and, yes, Christmas just around the corner from that. The holiday season is in full swing!
We here at Simply Scrappin' are getting into the spirit of things ourselves and our busily stocking our shelves with all kinds of goodies to help with your Christmas shopping. We had so much fun at Memory Trends picking out items that we thought would make great gifts. We will have "wish lists" available at the store for you to fill out, so if you see something that you'd like for yourself, send in your friends and family to check out your list!
This past week our new inventory started rolling in and in addition to expanding some of your favorites like Fancy Pants, Chatterbox, and Daisy D's, we are introducing some new designers as well. The first to arrive are the Holly and Avenue collections from Crate Paper, with 3 more lines coming later this week. We have photo organizers from Cropper Hopper, pre-made albums from Tapestry in a variety of themes, tons of stickers from Paper Bliss (lots of Christmas), and "bling," eyelets, ribbon, chipboard, and rub-ons from Heidi Swapp. We've also restocked our ribbon with some beautiful designs from American Craft and boosted our holiday die-cuts from Quickutz.
This is only the beginning as we have so much more product on its way including K & Company, Bo Bunny, Basic Grey, Rusty Pickle, Pressed Petals, Colorbok, and MiMi. Also, we are very excited about the Revolution, a new die-cutting tool from Quickutz that cuts large die-cuts, up to 4". Quickutz is releasing this easy to use tool along with 5 "grand" alphabets (3 ¾"), and several shapes in December. The Revolution is compatible with the smaller die-cuts as well and can cut up to 4 at a time. Full retail on the Revolution and its carrying case is $149.99, however, with our 25% discount, your cost is only $112.49. Pre-order yours today and be one of the first to have this new tool from Quickutz!
In addition to our beginning scrapbook classes, we are offering some special projects for the holiday season that will make wonderful gifts. This month we will be making recipe books, and in December we will be making Christmas memory board books. Both projects will use paper and embellishments from Bo Bunny. Contact the store if you are interested.
