New Products & Sales

In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue - I loved this rhyme in school. It is probably the only date I remember of all the history I studied.

Happy World Cardmaking Day!

Saturday, October 3rd is World Cardmaking Day. Some of the Everything Scrapp'n Design Team thought we would inspire you & show you some of the stamping products in the store.

Teresa made a great set of cards using the 4x4 pack of Jenni Bowlin Paper. The print on these pads is a smaller version of the original making it perfect for card making.


Front Porch Mini Paper Pack


Jana is showcasing some of the new acrylic stamp sets in the store.



Pink Paislee Amber Road Impressions Stamp set contains 7 separate images making it perfect for scrapbooking or card making. I love the vintage look. You can't beat the price either - the entire set is $4.99!



The papers she chose are by Little Yellow Bicycle.

The sentiment tag is Pink Paislee - look at all you get for @2.49.



Prima has some great acrylic stamp sets. For less than $2 you get a row of bling too. At that price you can buy 2 of each one for you & the other set to have on hand for a quick inexpensive gift for a fellow stamper. (the photos of the stamps are linked to the store)




The Hambly overlay looks fantastic against the kraft paper. Vintage Patchwork offers 4 different prints for one low price. They are also perfect for inexpensive acrylic mini albums. This one is on sale for $0.38!




Last but not least I (Suz) made several cards.

My first card I used the Pink Paislee Amber Road stamp set along with the matching paper scraps from all the layouts I've been doing using it.


Nikki Sivils papers are filled with whimsy.


Who says inexpensive cards have to lack pizazz... I used the front & back of this paper, a simple sentiment stamp & some stitching.




This is another line by Nikki that is just adorable. Henry's Brilliance 6x6 pad would make the cutest children birthday cards.


Finally I thought I would show you a sneak peak of the Pink Paislee Christmas paper that will be coming in stock very soon. It is my favorite Christmas line from CHA summer. This gift card holder was a make & take in the manufacturers booth.



Thanks so much for letting us inspire you.


I encourage you to make a card for our soldiers on active duty to send back home to their loved ones. Check out Operation Write Home for more details. It's a wonderful organization & really makes me feel like I'm doing something to support the troops in my little way with my love of card making.

Finally I wanted to remind you of the November Guest Designer spot. See the October Newsletter post for more details 10/2/2009 (it's toward the bottom). I can't wait to see the talented layouts/cards that come in!

Have a great time creating this weekend. Post a comment to links to your creations so we can see your work.

Design Team Member Spotlight: Janaina Oliveira
Where are you from?
Originally from Brazil, but now I live in New Jersey.

What is the name and link to your blog?
2 Worlds http://2worldswings.blogspot.com

What is your day job?
Right now it is being a mom, as my son is now 6 months old, but before I was working as a Administrative/Accounting Assistant.

What fad of scrapbooking did you never get into?
Doodling. I just can't do it. I'm not into very heavy embellished pages, too artsy. I think they are pretty, but that's not my objective on layouts. I leave my artsy side for digital scrapbooking or mini albums.

What do you feel is the biggest waste of time in scrapbooking?
When we think too much about " the perfect page" is a waste of time, what matters is to tell the story of your life.

What would you call your scrapbook style?
I don't know, but I like simple pages that concentrate more on the photo and journaling. Very few layouts of mine do not have journaling, just if I'm going to display them. I like to use few embellishments to give the right touch so it doesn't get too full of "stuff" on my page.

What item will we always find on your projects?
I think design paper and journaling blocks .

What sparks your creativity when you are scrapbooking?
The photo itself; the colors on it. I also like sketches if I am feeling few ideas. I always end up changing them completely, but they do help me sometimes to get started.

What is your favorite layout of all time and why?
I don't have just one, but this one in particular I love so much that I framed it in my house. I love it because it symbolizes that now we are family in my home. Me and my husband are together in this mission to raise this little boy and it makes me remember those first moments with him at home.




Have you ever wanted to be a guest designer?
Here is your opportunity! Apply by emailing photos of your best layout and project to hgturner@everythingscrappn.com by October 12th to become our November Guest Design Team Member. Also, please provide your name, blog address, forums you frequent, and any special talents you think makes you sparkle. Guest Designer spots are only open to those residing in the US.

You would be required to create 2 layouts/projects due the 14th and 2 layouts/projects due the 28th using products from Everything Scrappn. The layouts/projects due the 14th you are free to create whatever inspires you. I would love to see projects created for the current season or upcoming holidays. The layouts/projects due on the 28th will be an assigned project for a contest or challenge for our blog readers.
