NEWS

If you want to be sure to get exactly what you want for Christmas, then come in and fill out our Scrap-Happy Christmas Wish List! We will keep it on file for you during the Month of December, so you can just send your friends and family into the store and we’ll pull your list for them to shop from.  No more crazy Christmas Sweaters and socks under the tree for you- only awesome scrapbook supplies! Santa couldn’t do it better!

SCRAP PAPER SCIZZORS WILL BE MOVING AT THE END OF THE YEAR. We will be open in our current location through Tues. 12/27, and then will be closed Wed. 12/28 – Sun. 1/1 for inventory and moving.  We will open after Jan. 1st at the new location.  We will actually be moving back down into the same building we were in before at 131 N. Broadway, but will be in the space next door where the auction house used to be in the front of the building. So you can still park in the front parking lot, then go in the front door that faces Broadway along the sidewalk (there is a ramp there at the door). Or you can still park in the back and then walk up the alley and come in the front door.  Sometime next weekend we will post the new directions w/map and specific dates for reopening once we determine how long it will take us to get everything painted and set back up.
