Missing blogger found!

2008-08-23T14:29:00.000-07:00

well, to those of you reading, it has been a wild and crazy few months. Due to illness and surgery and recovery, I have really been MIA.
I am pleased to say I am back and with a bunch of great new supplies. I am thinking of having a die hard scrapbookers sale once a month followed by a crop.
For those of you who have come and shopped, you know my prices are less than your local scrap store and all the girls attending are great for sharing crop tips and information.

So labor day weekend...anyone interested in a crop, goodies and shopping, email me at albumsfromtheattic@yahoo.ca to register. The cost will be only $20.00 and there will be some refreshments and freebies. I will keep it small but the fun will be big!
The last Saturday or Sunday in August, email your vote for which day works best
pssst....I just received a HUGE 7 gypsies shipment, Jenni Bowlin and other goodies...
see you there!

Well it has been a while since I posted but it has been busy! I have a lot in the works for 2008. One of which is hopefully a brick and mortar store! I have received approval on zoning from the city of Red Deer for the space I found! Very exciting!
The Christmas mini album class was fun and i have a few straggling kits left over if anyone wants to put those Christmas photos in an album before they are lost.Email me and I will get one in the mail to you right away.
I will be attending the show in Edmonton to get a look at all the great new product releases and I will post pics of ordered items so anyone wanting to do preorders can.
Last but not least, keep watching for a DT CALL! I will be looking for DT members who can help get projects up for a surprise location sale and crop as well as the store once everything is finalized.
Thanks for all your support in 2007 and I can't wait to see what 2008 brings

Christmas Joy

2007-11-26T10:16:00.000-08:00

Well scrap bookers, Christmas is almost upon us. With all the hustle and bustle, I decided to take a little time for myself. Using the Heidi Swapp art cards, I am making the 25 days of Christmas. Each day from Decemebr 1st to 25th, I am going to take a photo relevant to the day and scrap book it on one of these fabulous cards. There is a ton of space to journal, create and capture the everyday moments of the season. I will post photos the first week of December after I have filled some up and you can get a better idea.These would also make great gifts! You could make a mini album for Grandma's stocking or the best friend who lives far away.
The paper lace from KI memories has gone fast as well as I am down to a few page frames albums. Congratulations to Kelly Romanchuk who won a free one! Thanks so much for all your orders. If you are looking for something special and can't find it at your LSS, email me and i will see if I can find it for you. Check out the Urban Lily secret keeper albums as well as the embossed Prima albums. I have my hands on a few. Watch for an upcoming tip using the prima album and bees wax for a unique album cover!

sneak peek just in time for christmas

2007-10-10T21:42:00.000-07:00

I am sad to report that the beautiful Page Frame Design Albums have been back ordered! It seems that everyone is wanting to get their hands on this amazing new product! Page frames has canceled all distributor orders and I have to reorder direct. I gave a sneak of a "motherhood" album I was putting together for a class. Hopefully you are all as patient as I am because these are definitely worth the wait!
Those of you wanting to scrap and learn some new techniques can join us for an all day crop on the 21 of October. Everyone in attendance gets a goodie bag stuffed with product, a mini album that you learn to create in class and leave with a completed project as well as hands on demos through out the day...to top it all off, lunch and refreshments are included! cost $40.00 10:ooam until 4p.m. Space is limited so sign up soon.
yes...I am doing the nasty! I am mentioning...CHRISTMAS! It is upon us and I say, get an early start on your gifts. What better way than to make a beautiful homemade gift for someone to cherish! I am sharing a quick look at how you can skip the baking and serve up something yummy!
Get out your nastiest old cookie sheet and gather all of those tids and bits you have been hoarding but were unsure what to do with. I grabbed my favorite Making memories scraps as I seem to have tons of them! I just love the product!
Modge Podge one of the new Making Memories holidays to the tin after you have cut it to fit your cookie sheet. Note: I drew lines on for my calender spaces first.
Then use all your buttons, brads, flowers, paper scraps and such to make a "day" for each 25 in December. Use magnet strip cut to fit each embellishment so it sticks to the tin. Sound complicated? You could join me to make this in the November class! November 18th from 1-3:30 pm and the cost is $30.00. I will supply the cookie sheet, paint, brushes, modge podge, stamps, date stickers and so much more! Bring any treasured scraps from home that you would love to include and see how it is done step by step. Email for registration.
Thanks for looking!

I would love to say thank you for the amazing response to our little kits! They sold out! There is a downfall to being an independent, I order on a much smaller scale than the big guys. So sorry, I have a limited supply.
After reading many emails I am going to arrange an all day crop where you can come and shop, learn great new techniques and take a couple of classes.This will be in October and will be advertised here as well as in the local paper. Hope to see you there.
The Hambly has almost sold out and I am placing another order...anyone wanting to get their hands on the Butterfly wing rub ons first, email me!There was a bit of a stampede for these! They come in black, white, silver, pink! Hambly has added great new colors and designs to all of their product line ups!
Also- no one else has them but we have our pre order all set!Ready for it? I am awaiting the arrival of our see through transparency albums! They come in various sizes and are not offered at the LSS!
Once all the new CHA product is in, I will post some pics and you can get shopping!
Note: please email me your projects made with our kit cuz i am going to be looking for a design team! The first approval on a retail space has gone through so hopefully I will have a space before you can say cropping party!
Happy scrapbooking!
