Scrapbook Barn

Preparing for Thanksgiving Weekend

With so many choices of places to shop on the day after Thanksgiving, we were wondering what we could offer you, our customers, that would appeal to you. We could offer discounts but we can't really compete with the deep discounts that big nationwide retail stores like Best Buy will offer. We could open really early so that you could begin your day with us but again the big retailers could beat us at that idea, too. So what can a small, independent retail scrapbook store offer it's customers???

Stay tuned (and watch for emails). We've got some ideas.

New from 7 Gypsies

The gals at 7 Gypsies have another hit on their hands with their latest release named "Venice"! The colors are soft blues, grays, blacks and peach. A new 97% complete sticker called "Nest" was designed to go along with this collection.

Here are some small photos of the line...

 

Here's a page idea using this group of papers...

This printer's tray (painted white) uses the Venice line...

Don't miss this new release from 7 Gypsies next time you are in the store. You can find it in the 7 Gypsies section.
 
 
  
 
  
 
     
 

New from Bo Bunny

I know we don't get snow in this part of Arizona, but since blue is my favorite color and this new Bo Bunny release is not all snow related, I had to get it! See what you think of it.

This paper is a die cut that goes with the line...

We also picked up the big 12 x 12 sheet of stickers and the album kit for this collection.

Check out this line next time you are in the store.

New from Basic Grey - Bling It On

Adding swirls to your pages has been a trend lately whether you add the swirls as die cuts, stickers or rub-ons. Another trend has been adding bling (rhinestone) to your projects. Now Basic Grey has given you the best of both worlds with their new product Bling It On. This product is rub-on swirls with jewels added.

Take a look at the designs we've got...

Basic Grey - Indian Summer

The Indian Summer collection from Basic Grey has all the beautiful colors of fall and that alone makes this group hard to resist! The golds, the oranges, the browns... well just take a look for yourself!

Besides this wonderful paper and cardstock stickers, shown last, there are other new embellishments for this line. The first one shown below is called Woolies. They are felt-shaped embellishments. The second item is called Pops. They are dimensional cardstock stickers.

We hope you will be as excited about this line as we are. Stop by soon to pick up your favorites!!!

New Halloween from Fancy Pants

There are sooo many great Halloween lines this year and Fancy Pants is one of my favorites! The thing that really excites me about their lines are the Glitter Cuts that match the lines they produce. Let's take a look at their "Trick or Treat" line. Each paper is shown with an image of the front and back of the paper.

Shown below are the Glitter Cuts for this line.

New Core'dinations Cardstock

If you haven't had a chance to see this cardstock in person, be sure to check out our wall of Core'dinations next time you visit. When you sand, tear or emboss it, the color underneath is revealed giving you an entirely different look than just a solid colored cardstock. Our designers have worked with it and have been amazed at the different looks you can achieve using this cardstock.

Here are some samples that we've made...

 

Crystal used the Core'dinations cardstock on this page in the flowers, leaves, title and photo mat. She sanded the cardstock to give it an aged look. Double-click on the photo to make it larger and see the detail.

 

Robyn designed this "beach" page and loved the way the Core'dinations cardstock looked when she sanded it. She loves to ink around the edges of her cardstock but found that she could achieve that same look just by sanding the edges.

 

On this page, Robyn used a border punch to create the eyelet-looking edge and then sanded it to give it subtle shading to the border and the background paper.

Stop by and check out all the colors available in the Core'dinations cardstock and start planning how you will use it!
