For all of you Moms out there looking for summer activities for your kids once school is out, mark your calendars for our Kids’ Craft Camp!  The Kids Craft Camp will be held every Tuesday morning from 11am-12:30pm for six weeks starting on June 22- July 27.  (We will post specific project details on the calendar for each of the class dates towards the beginning of June.)  Each class is only $10.00 per child, and you can sign your kids up for all of the classes, or on a class by class basis, so your kids can have lots of fun without breaking the bank. We have limited space available, and most of our classes were full last year, so be sure to register your kids early!

PRODUCTS

We are finally beginning to receive in our Spring products that have been on backorder, so come by and check out what’s new!  Here are just a few items now in:

* Moxxie- Easter paper collection, East Meets West horse themed paper collection and rubons (includes both western horse/cowboy themes, and dressage/jumping/showing themes)

* 12×12 Cricut Cutting Mats are now back in stock but are going fast, so come in and get yours before they sell out again!  (12×24 mats are still on backorder with Provocraft, but will hopefully be back in within the next couple of weeks)

* New custom created diecuts w/ hand drawn & chalked details- various themes such as Easter Bunny, Floppy Bunny, Chick, and Stork w/ boy or girl delivery bundle.

* 20 brand new Core’dinations Cardstock Colors!  We are in the process of expanding our Core Cardstock Collection to supplement colors not found in our Bazzill collection of colors.  We will be adding approximately 30 more Core Colors over the next month!  (If you haven’t tried the Core Cardstock yet, it’s a must have!  The core color is lighter than the color you see on the surface, so if you tear, sand, or emboss and sand the Core cardstock, the lighter color will show through.  Core Cardstock also cuts much cleaner in the Cricut Machine than the Bazzill Cardstock does.)
