New Donna Downey Merch in store!

We just got in a shipment of Donna Downey's fabulous new merchandise.  There are all kinds of gorgeous goodies from her Poppies and Peonies line for Prima.  There is also a wonderful new assortment of Donna's stamps from Unity, her foam stamps, art journal books, 12x12 canvas pages, canves tags and ATC's plus more!

Closing early on Tuesday, March 27

Per a request by my adorable son Clay, we will be closing early on Tuesday, March 27.  The store will close at 3 in recognition of Clay's 10th birthday.  Thank you for understanding!  We will open as usual on Wednesday from 10-6.

PaperArtsy

I've got a new brand of rubber stamp and matching metal dies in the store.  PaperArtsy is from the UK and I'm the first store in Georgia to carry them.  I ordered a small sampling to test drive the brand.  I've got about 6 different stamp sets (some with matching dies) and their Metal Card.  Which is great for stamping on and embossing.  A couple of the stamp sets are by Lynne Perrella of Stampington fame.  This is my favorite set, eventhough it is plain.  The possibilities are endless.  It is an old fashioned slide stamp with matching slide die.  I can't wait to try it out.  Stop by the store to shop this new brand and don't forget we also are having a fabulous clearance sale with tons of 99 cent items.

Moving Sale!

As our one year anniversary approaches, I'd like to take the opportunity to thank you, for supporting a Local Scrapbook Store. I can honestly say I've loved the experience - and want to keep going.

I've learned a lot from my first year in business, and one thing I've learned is I need to reduce my rent payment! :) I've found a location just a quarter mile down the street on McGinnis Ferry. But before we move, I want to get rid of some stuff. So we're having an indoor sidewalk sale with clearance prices on loads of good stuff. Including tons of items at 0.99 cents! Stop by and check it out. New CHA products are not included in the sale.

We will be moving the week of Spring Break, so the store will be closed from April 2 -9. We will re-open on Tuesday, April 10 at our new location. We are just a quarter mile east on McGinnis Ferry Road at 5430 McGinnis Ferry Road. If you leave the store take a left and go just past McDonald's. We will be on the left at the intersection of Christopher Robin and McGinnis Ferry Road.  I will keep everyone updated about the move.

Spring Class Schedule

I am very excited to offer some fantastic - and varied - classes.  There is something for everybody.  Call the store during business hours to reserve your spot.  Our phone number is 678-368-4483. 

Let's kick off the schedule with an amazing Altered Frame class taught by Jeremy Bright.   You will take home a gorgeous wooden picture frame made with Mica fragments.  The class is on Saturday, March 31 from 1-3:30 and costs $25.  Everything you need for the class will be provided.

Our next class is a Little Darlings Mini Album Class featuring Graphic 45 papers.

This adorable album is made using Graphic 45 papers (the Little Darlings collection) and a Graphic 45 Kraft Envelope Album.  The finished album, when closed, is approximately 4”x6”.  The album suits either a boy or girl and can easily be customized.  This is a great mini album to give as a welcome baby gift or to scrap vintage baby pictures.  You’ll also leave the class with a generous amount of leftover paper and chipboard embellishments.  The class is Saturday, April 21 from 1-3 and costs $25.  Bring scissors, a paper trimmer, Wonder/Redline tape, a glue stick or tape runner and foam squares. (Optional Distress Ink and blending tool, Tattered Rose or Antique Linen).

Graphic 45 Olde Curiosity Shoppe When Pigs Fly Layout

Customers are always wondering how to use this brand of paper.  Well, here’s your answer.  This is a fantastic 12”x12” layout that can easily be adapted to use other Graphic 45 papers.  The layout holds a 4”x6” picture and hidden journaling.  You’ll also leave the class with a generous amount of leftover paper and chipboard embellishments.  The class is Saturday, May 5 from 1-2:30 and costs $20.  Bring scissors, a paper trimmer, Wonder/Redline tape, a glue stick or tape runner and foam squares. (Optional Distress Ink and blending tool, Vintage Photo).

I am very excited about this next class.  It is an Art Journal/Altered Book class featuring Dyan Reaveley's stencils and Dylusions Ink Sprays.  In the class, you will receive a hardback book and learn how Dyan transforms a simple novel into a fabulous art journal.  You'll also make some colorful tags and play with washi/tissue tape.  It will be loads of fun and you'll leave with a new appreciation for sprays and stencils -- and your very own art journal.  The class is Saturday, May 12 from 1-3 and costs $20.  Everything you need for the class will be provided.
