And with it has brought the stifling heat and humidity….but don’t let that stifle your creativity! We’ve got plenty of classes and events to keep you and the kids cool and creative all summer long.
NEWS
CHA will soon be upon us and we’re doing our best to prepare for a whirlwind of new products to blow into the store….that means we need to get rid of as much of our current inventory as possible in order to make room for all of the new stuff! So be sure to print out our June Coupon and take advantage of our paper special all month long!
Don’t forget that our next Whatever You Want Wednesday is coming up on June 11, so bring in your Michaels or Hobby Lobby 40% off coupons and take advantage of the great savings!
Also, if you are not currently a Maps-2-Memories discount keytag participant, be sure to check out www.maps2memories.com to see how you can qualify for an SOS or Key 2 Savings discount keytag just by making purchases at your participating local scrapbook stores.

Now that the kids are out of school, you’ll most likely be looking to find activities to keep them busy and out of trouble and we have just the thing you’re looking for! We will be holding a Kid’s Craft Camp starting the last week in June and running through the end of July. The Camp will be held every Tuesday for six weeks starting June 24 through July 29 11am-12:30pm. These classes are for anyone 5 years of age and up. Many of our classes will appeal to kids, teens and adults alike. Parents may stay and participate with the kids, or drop them off to take advantage of an hour or so of free time. Check out the calendar to learn details about each of the class projects.
If summer brings you face to face with an out of control mess of scrapbooking materials and supplies, never fear! Our Summer Consignment Sale is just around the corner, so start boxing up all of those extra supplies and get them priced and ready to sell.
