Come in and say hello!

September 1st is rapidly approaching and I am so excited that I can hardly stand it! Elisa and I finished packing up the old store this morning, came back to my house to drop some things off and there it was... The delivery truck carrying my Pink Paislee Products. Elisa and I literally jumped up and down. The Twilight Collection is Fabulous! I liked it so much that I went straight to the computer and order the few things I didn't think I needed. I also ordered the Christmas and Valentine collections along with more Maya Road. As excited as I am I hope you are too. If you are in the area come in and say hello!

Almost Time!

The lost has been found, the lost blogger that is. Sorry Friends that I have dropped off the face of the blogger world but as you all know I have been totally busy getting ready to open the new store. IT'S ALMOST TIME! I just love it! Bright colors, new inventory, more new inventory on the way, lots more space, playroom, great community... I'm gushing. I am tying up all the loose ends and getting ready to open the doors on Sept. 1st. I also have a new childrens craft coming called SMOOSHIES. Check'em out (yep... they are crafts).

SMOOSHIES

These are really cute and cuddly crafts that your child can build right in the store and bring home. These are great for all ages and for both boys and girls.

3 Bugs In A Rug HAS ARRIVED!

Hi Ya!

Thought I would drop a few lines to tell you all how productive my day was. Got up this morning (not as early as planned), burnt bacon in the oven for my 3 little ones (said forget it and bought McDonalds on the way to Lockport), Elisa was at the Lockport Location waiting for me (as usual) and WE PAINTED ALL DAY! I looks so cute and I can't wait to get my curtains up and inventory in and have everyone come to visit and hopefully love it as much as I do!

Whew, Sorry for all the ramblings. When we made it back to my house I had a big box of happy waiting for me. TA DA... THREE BUGS IN A RUG HAS ARRIVED! I wanted to share with you a taste of what came in. I know it is a horrible picture but I just had to show it off. 45 new arrivals to Creative You Scrapbooking! Looks like things will be coming pretty quickly now. Still waiting on Pink Paislee, Cosmo Cricket and Maya Road. Hugs every one and if you want a better look you might just want to come into the store to check it out when we open our new doors.

Happy Scrapp'n,

Amber

Our Gift Embroidery Hoop Kit

Hello Scrappers, Family and Friends!,

What a day. It stormed all day today, and it was humid and just wet and blah. Believe it or not through all of the funk I am still so excited! Today my most excellent friend Elisa (Bless her heart... she has bad knees) volunteered her friendship and time to start painting at my new location today while I stayed and worked at my old location. Poor thing was up and down a ladder all day! I really appreciate and love ya Elisa! Friendship and Family are definitely God Given Gifts and I am grateful for each and every one of mine!

Speaking of Gifts...

I wanted to share with you a kit that I will be offering in September. It is called "Our Gift". This precious little kit features full instructions and everything seen here and even enough pieces to make a matching card if you would like to give it as a gift. What a special way to honor some one you consider your Special Gift.

Kit cost is: $20.00 and there are 6 available. If you would like to reserve your kit please feel free to e-mail me at creativeyouscrapbooking@yahoo.com and I will be glad to set it aside for you.

Also, I would like to pass along some information. One of my Twitter pals (Mandy Leahy with Close To My Heart) is requesting that if you would like to and can... She is collecting homemade cards for a cause. Mandy is collecting homemade cards for terminally ill children. Her goal is to provide something special to brighten the children's days. If you are interested please contact me and you can mail them to me or drop them off by the store, or you can mail them directly to her. She would like to have them mailed off to the hospital by September 15th. She has no set limit and just one would help.

I hope this finds everyone happy and in a creative mood!

Oh, Picture shown in the kit is of my Maddie and was taken by Michelle Arcement of Houma, La. SHOUT OUT!

Happy Scrapp'n,

Amber

Crazy for Chipboard and Mini Albums? Anyone?

Hi Everyone! I hope this finds you all doing well and feeling very creative! Today is Saturday and when I went in to the store today all I could find myself doing is looking around and thinking about all the new & fun things that I am going to have in my new store. Everyone who knows me will tell you that I am crazy for Chipboard and Mini Albums. In celebration of my obsession I thought I would show off some new Maya Road collections that I will be bringing in.

Maya Road Chipboards are the greatest! I couldn't get all the pictures so I thought I would at least share what I could.

Each book has 8 pages made of thick chipboard, the first page die cut, which makes them easily alterable and/or paintable.

TAKE A LOOK

Just a quick look at some of the new products (Just a few from Pink Paislee)

and lots of other Alpha Stickers and such! Can't wait! More pics of other products coming soon :)

Oh The Luv!

Hello Scrappers! For the first time in a long I decided to sit and reflect on the things that my Honey does in which makes me love him so darn much. So in honor of my great hubby I made this layout (and he loved it~ duh, who doesn't love when someone tells them how great they think they are). My recommendation is that you too sit down and reflect on the person who helps make your world extra special! I promise it will give you the warm and fuzzies!
