Start the Year Off Right!

Well, we hit the tables cropping for the New Year, and we plan on keeping that tape runner rolling throughout the rest of the year! So if your resolution was to get more scrapbooking done, or to learn more techniques, we’ve got just what you need to get you started. We have some exciting classes coming up featuring all kinds of new products!

We’re making it even easier for you to stock up on supplies with our
January web coupon! Print it out and bring it in for excellent additional savings.

We’ll also be “rolling” out the new year with discounted sticker rolls. Receive 30% off on all sticker roll stickers!

News

We now have the Cricut Design Studio Software installed on our crop computer for your use so come on in and play away! We will be holding a tutorial class on the software later in the month, so keep an eye on the calendar!

Our Design Team Search is underway! We have extended our deadline for entries for a couple of extra weeks to allow some of the people who have expressed interest enough time to get their samples finished and turned in now that the hectic holiday schedules are over. So for those of you who would still like the opportunity to serve on the 2008 Design Team, we will be accepting artwork submissions through Saturday, January 12.
