SOLD!

Hello Friends-

I hope this post finds all of you enjoying the Spring weather we are finally getting here in Redding! 

This post is being written with both Joy and Sadness!  I have sold the store. I am excited for what the future will bring my way, and sad that I will not see your smiley faces daily, weekly and monthly! I will be closing this weekend (7th). So our crop this weekend will be the last for Scrappin' Friends! (we will be open both Fri. and Sat from 10-midnight and I still have 1 spot left).

The new store owner Jenney Gannon is also very excited and nervous as she ventures out on this new ride. I wish her luck and know you all will support her! I have worked hard to build this business and you have supported me well-I know you will enjoy the new store!

Jenney has plans to make changes, which includes the name! The new name will be "She's Crafty." Her new blog is:
shescraftyscrapbook.blogspot.com

I want to thank all of you for being so loyal and for being supportive over the last 2 years. It has been a fabulous ride and one I will surely miss.

My personal blog is:
mylilscrapcorner.blogspot.com
I will still be scrapping and hopefully will continue to teach classes too!

Hugs-Heidi

Calendar change-National Scrapbook Day Event

Hello Friends-
 I hope you have all been well and enjoying our Spring weather (as strange as may be)! It has been a busy beginning to the month of April, and as I look ahead, I realized that our crop on the 16th is also Cool April Nights weekend and also the Red Bluff Round-Up! So, needless to say we have had small numbers signing up for the crop and then some who signed up early and then they too realized the busy city goings-on and some have had to cancel out. Soooo...... since we had such a fun event planned, I decided to cancel this one and move forward to May!
This is what we are doing:

National Scrapbook Day (2 Day Crop)!!!!
We will crop on Friday May 6th from 5-midnight and then on Sat. May 7th (National Scrap Day) from 9-midnight.

Come celebrate with us!!!! Here's what you get-
  • A ton of prizes
  • A Make-N-Take
  • Brunch
  • Lunch
  • Dinner (Sat.)
  • Dessert both Friday and Saturday
all for $50-WOW!!!!!!

Call or come in to reserve your space (reservations with payment only)
Space is already filling up-so don't wait too long or you might miss out on all the fun!!!!!

See you soon-Heidi

Spellbinders Nestabilities

Hi Friends-

Do you need that extra something to give your cards and projects that extra pizzaz? If so, then Spellbinders Nestabilities are just the answer! Have you seen some of the newest nestabilities that have just recently been released? There are some really pretty new designs and some great shapes for both scrapbookers and card makers.

They are compatible with Sizzix™, QuicKutz™ Revolution, Big Kick or Big Shot, Cuttlebug and most other manual die cut machines. If you haven't seen them or used them, then check them out here-
http://spellbinderspaperarts.com

So, I have great news: We are going to have a pre-order day this Saturday April 2nd with a 20% OFF discount for ordering. Come on by, order your favorite dies, or perhaps you need a new die cutting machine. Any products that Spellbinders carries, we will honor a 20% discount on-so don't delay-either come by on Saturday with your order, or give me a call, or send me an e-mail with your order.


Extra Incentive: We will be having a drawing!
For those who place an order, bring a friend (new to the store), order a machine, your name will be placed in a drawing. One lucky winner, will recieve a value of $25 towards any Spellbinders product of your choice.


So here is how it will work-


For every $50 you order: recieve 1 ticket


Bring a friend (new to store and not on e-mail list and who places an order): recieve 2 tickets


Order a new die cutting machine: recieve 5 tickets

Update: If you look at spellbinders website, you will notice a lot of their products say out of stock. I called today, and they said this is just a temporary situation. They were slammed these last two weeks, and they were just recovering from CHA (retailers show). So, they are currently getting things back in, and if they are out of stock-they will be back in within a couple of weeks. So, do not miss out on our sale, any backorders will be honored (by me) with the 20% off discount!

See you soon-Heidi

We are still OPEN!!!  Yes, the store is (unfortunately) for sale. But, NOTHING is changing as of now. If, I don't find a buyer, I will be remaining open until further notice.  So, things will remain the same-don't worry, I am not going anywhere right now or in the near future!!!

We have ordered new product lines, and they will begin shipping at the end of the month-so keep posted for that news. I will let you know when they are arriving!!!

We do have classes, crops, etc. with openings-please stop by and keep us going!

Thanks, see you soon-Heidi

Scrappin' Friends News

I am sad to say, that I must put Scrappin' Friends up for sale. This has been a difficult decision for me, but it is necessary, as my husband has not been able to work much this last year, and therefore, I must go back to work.  So, the store is for sale. If you are interested in purchasing it, give me a call and we can talk! 

I am hoping someone will be able to keep our store up and running for our community of scrappers! 

Take care, Heidi

Angel Company Stamp Club

Hello to all- 

Angie Kelley is our Angel Company Stamp Demonstrator. Angel Company Stamps are fabulous rubber stamps that are reasonably priced and the catalog is very large with a great assortment of stamps. We have a very fun club that is held monthly here at Scrappin' Friends on the first Wed. of each month at 9:30 in the morning. Angie brings a fabulously fun project each month to complete and demonstrates some great techniques for us to try and play with. As a member of the club, you are required to purchase $15 in stamps,  or other catalog goodies and pay a club fee of $5 (which covers the cost of the project) each month. So for very little cost, you get to create with others that enjoy stamping, and meet up with friends each month.

If you are interested in joining, please give us a call here at Scrappin' Friends, and I will pass the info. onto Angie. She only takes 12 people in the club, and we currently have a couple of openings. Don't miss out on the fun!!  (722-9200)
