Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine has arrived!

The Magazine has arrived earlier than expected!!!

Come in to get your copy of Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine Fall 2010 edition. LIMITED QUANTITIES in stock!

The ideas are absolutely fantastic in this magazine. As I expected, I LOVE the layering article. The layouts shown in this article remind me of our designer Sandi's work! For the Love of Pink article touched me more than I thought....not only is the colour "pink" a part of the layouts, they are all about scrapbookers or friends expressions, journeys and thoughts about Breast Cancer. With my Mom and Aunt having gone through and going through the stages associated with Breast Cancer, it was an article dear to my heart!

There are so many ideas jammed-packed into this edition that you don't want to wait too long to get your copy.

Products arriving to re-stock our shelves!

Many products are continually arriving so we can re-stock our shelves.

Amoung the products that have arrived this week are:

August 12th: SCOR-BUDDY!

The Scor-Buddy is a mini portable scoring tool provided by Scor-Pal. It is great for making Folds to make homemade cards. The Scor-Buddy is a mini version of the very popular Scor-Pal. This little buddy will surely be your best pal. With its smaller size it is a card makers dream. It has grooves every 1/4" across the board, plus 1/8" for the first and last inch of the board. It measures approximately 9 x 7.5". It is ideal for invitations, cards, small gift boxes and so much more. It comes with a free Scor-Tool in a snap-in holder and its own faux suede storage tote. It is lightweight and portable, great for taking to your crops. That reminds me: Have you signed up for our up-coming CROP FOR KIDs crops? (Sept 18th and Oct 3rd) Hope to see you there!
**Look for some up-coming classes with Robin specifically using the Scor-Buddy.

Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine Fall 2010

Just a quick notice to let you know that the Fall 2010 Issue of the Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine will be shipping out around August 23rd. I don't know about you, but the sub-title "Layers of Luscious Design" catches my attention! I LOVE putting layers on my cards and layouts, so I can't wait to see what they have done. My first thought is colours and texture. How close will I be? OK...., I confess, I LOVE pink as well, so I am interested to read "For the Love of Pink" by Sue Skyes.

If you would like to be the first in line to have a copy of this issue, please let us know ASAP. Pre-payment will hold your issue!

Happy Crafting!

Blackberry vandals.....

OK, for those of you who I might be offending, I will apologize right up front.....But there are some things that I just don't either agree with or understand in life: stealing, lack of respect or vandalism to name a few.

Today as I was leaving my house, there were about 10-15 people in front of my house picking blackberries. Buckets in hand and some were the LARGE Wine buckets!

Yummy I understand, nature is free (I get it!), sharing the wealth that nature brings....These are all awesome....BUT....one thing that I don't get is the fact that when some people are taking advantage of what nature brings to us and don't clean up after themselves, why did they start in the first place?

So just before I left my house, I just had to pull out my camera and snap a picture! I think it was to bring it all to reality for me. Yes, I have a picture with the people in it, but I am not posting that one just so I don't expose who some of the people are. To put this into a bigger perspective, there was even a lady with garden sheers. (Did she just happen to have them in her car?!) When there was a bramble in the way, she cut it down; Blackberries not quite in reach....cut some more! My initial thought was "I'm sure they will clean it up when they are done...blackberry bushes do grow back". But when I arrived home, my thoughts were proved incorrect. Brambles lay over the ground and some were even tossed ontop of the brambles. Is this me ranting....Yep! But I guess this is therapy for me. The pictures here don't do it justice. I know what I will be doing tomorrow....cleaning up the neighbourhood and doing my part!

So to bring some light to this, I found some projects completed by other talented ladies that I would like to share. Hopefully all of the blackberries picked today will be enjoyed to the maximum.....since there were Wine buckets, I thought that I would show you some projects from Crafty Secrets using the Wine Lovers set.

The card on the left was completed by Crafty Secrets designer Marisa and the series of wine projects on the right was completed by Lisa Zappa, another Crafty Secrets designer.

For more inspiration I am adding some links to their galleries. Here is a link to Lisa's Crafty Secrets gallery: http://www.craftysecrets.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=39

Donating Blood

So I go to donate blood last night and I am talking to the man putting in the needle & I say I hear there are 10,000 needed to have enough blood for this summer, and he says yes it's a difficult time of year to get donors in. However, he tells me that 25% of all blood donated in BC comes from the Island! So way to go Islanders, just one more reason to be proud of living here.
