You have one month to make anything from page layouts, cards, altered project, mini albums, or anything else you can think of. The only criteria is that you use all at least a portion of every item in the kit, and that you commit to at least 4 months of time. The following month you return with your finished item. We put all the items on the table to be viewed by the group, and then a vote is cast for the favorite. One creative person will win a $10 gift certificate for the store. It is great fun-come join us!!!

Sept. 18th Potluck Crop from 10-11Pm: Come crop with us for 13 Hours of fun. Filled with friends, food, creative energy, and some very special prize giveaways!!!!! All you need to bring is your supplies to scrap your favorite pictures, a food item to share with about 18 other hungry scrappers, and your creative juices and your smile! 

Sept. 21st Explosion Box: This is a very fun picture box that memories can be stored inside. When someone wants to know what's inside, Boom-It explodes!
What a fun way to surprise someone with great memories all in a small box which can be displayed on a shelf, a table, or your desk at work!  The sample is in the store, so come take peak and sign up!  You need to bring adhesive, scissors, liquid glue (diamond glaze or zip-dry work best), chestnut roan cat-eye chalk. $25

Sept. 25th Copic Marker Class: Angie Kelley promises a day of great fun, laughter, and learning how to blend, shade and color with copic markers.

You don't need to have any previous coloring experience to enjoy this class. Sign-ups will be limited so hurry in to get your spot!

Sept. 28th Birthday Hoot Album: If you would like to preserve those birthday memories in a small compact album, then this is perfect for you! It looks like a small album, but when you open it up, it has 4 flaps that open up beyond the edges of the book for more photos to be added. You will need wallet size photos for this album, adhesives, scissors, and chestnut roan chalk ink. The sample is in the store-come see how cute it is! $18

Hello Friends-

I have decided to keep things relatively simple for the month of August. I know that everyone is busy with getting kids ready for school and for those of you who are teachers, getting ready to go back to work after a nice summer break, sports activities are starting again and it's just a busy time trying to get back into the swing of things. So, with that in mind, our August calendar will look a little sparse. I am also going to be gone for a few days to Seattle and then to Portland Children's Hospital with my daughter and granddaughter, who is having some tests done. So, I have a lot on my plate too!

August: 10 Challenge Club 5:30 pm
Come join us for a fun time. You will recieve a packet of papers, embellishments and a challenge to complete these items during the month of Aug. and to be returned in Sept. for a chance to win a gift certificate for the store. All this for 10$. Pre-registering is required (at least 3 days prior).

August 25- Monthly Card Class
We will be making 2 Thank You cards, and 2 Sympathy Cards. Come learn some fun new techniques for making cards fun! $16 Pre-registration required. (Kits available also)

August 27- Friday Night Crop 5-midnight $8
Come join us for an evening of fun and friends. Pre-registration and payment required.
(at least 8 needed to hold crop)

We are gearing up for our 1 YEAR Anniversary!!!
September is the big month, which promises to bring lots of fun new classes (mini albums, gift card holder, pocket picture book, cards, explosion photo box, copic coloring class, and lots more). We will be giving away a big prize for those who purchase items during the month of Sept. and an even bigger prize for those who sign up for classes!  So keep your eyes peeled for more exciting news in the near future!

If you haven't seen the "W" Womans magazine, we have an article about scrapbooking written in it. It talks about why woman like to scrap, and the store. Find a copy and check it out, or come in and read it at the store.

Also, the "Enjoy" magazine is going to be opening a store on Placer street, across from the downtown parking garage. It will feature artists from the north state. Artists will be selling there wares in the gift store. It is a juried selection process to be a part of the store, and I was selected!!! I will be making and selling my cards in the store. It promises to be a fun adventure. My cards will range in price from 3.50-6.50 and will be very different (much more detailed), than what you see here at Scrappin' Friends. None of the cards I make here at my store, will be the same as what you can purchase at "Enjoy the Store." So, go take a gander down there and "Enjoy the Store" and all it has to offer. It promises to be a fun place to shop for unique gifts!

Come in and see us, it has been a very quite summer!!
We hope to see you soon- Heidi
