CHA CHICAGO OR BUST!

Today is the day!  In just a few hours, Candy and I will be heading west to Chicago to attend the summer session of the Craft and Hobby Association trade show.  And we do it all for you!!!!  ;) 

 

Over the next four days we will be hitting the show floor to preview all of the new product releases which in turn will end up in future ScrapScription kits!  From paper to embellishments to albums and everything in between - we'll try to see it all and bring you the latest and greatest in scrapbooking! 

Stay tuned for updates here on the blog as well as our famous CHA TOP TEN LIST shortly after the show! 

One programming note- orders received over the next few days will be processed and shipped as soon as we are back from CHA and settled back in.  Thank you!!!  We appreciate your patience!!

Gotta get my bags in the car and my large McDonalds $1 Diet Coke for the road - then it's off to pick up Candy! 

CHA CHICAGO HERE WE COME!

TAKE A LOOK!

Wowzers!  We haven't blogged since July 11th???  Oh my gosh - can you tell how busy the summer has been for us???  I didn't even get the latest kit posted!  Ok - noted - and added to my "to-do list" today!

We received the most incredible email last week from Stephanie Hunt, the owner and mastermind behind Bella Blvd. and so with her permission I wanted to share what she sent us!  But a bit of background first -

Way back in January at CHA in Anaheim, we were finishing up our last full day of the show and we had come back to the Bella Blvd. booth to place our order.  We were having a hard time deciding between the Man of the House line and the Estate Sale line.  That's when it hit us - let's do BOTH and let's do them in the same month and make the entire month all about Bella!  We quickly decided it might be a good opportunity to see if we could tie in a cross promotion with Bella's blog and before you know it Candy and Stephanie were swapping business cards. 

Fast forward to May - our kits were designed and ready to go and we started pulling everything together for our "Month of Bella".  We were exchanging emails with details and photos of the kits, etc.  At one point Stephanie emailed me to inquire about one of the FOREVER FRIENDS kits.  I couldn't resist sending her one to play with!  And so amazingly she offered to share her creation with us once she had it completed. 

This past week we received the nicest email from her with pictures of her version of the "forever friends" album which she lovingly re-titled "You & Me" and filled it with pictures of her and her hubby and the "Bella mascot" - Mio.  Can I just tell you how thrilled I was to see how she interpreted the album and made it her own.  Completely inspiring and such a phenomenal example of how you can take our kits and add your own flair and twist to create a one of a kind, unique keepsake!  She even added some other pieces from this line including the Badda Bings - Chipboard pieces and the gorgeous Blooms a Bella cotton flowers! 

So without further adieu - I want to share a couple pictures of some of the pages from Stephanie's album.  And follow this link to Stephanie's blog to see MORE of her album! 

 

So one last huge THANK YOU to Stephanie and Bella Blvd.for making this such an awesome experience and for sharing with all of us here at ScrapScription!  We can't wait for the next time!   

THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT WE STILL HAVE A FEW OF THESE FABULOUS KITS AVAILABLE FOR SALE ON OUR WEBSITE!  GET YOURS TODAY AND TRY OUT SOME OF STEPHANIE'S COOL TECHNIQUES FOR A FUN TWIST ON THIS SPECIAL ALBUM!!!

BLOG SALE WRAP UP AND FINAL BELLA WINNER!

A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone that took advantage of our BIG SUMMER BLOG SALE this past weekend!  We are so glad you were able to get your hands on some of these limited quantities!  And it helped us clear out some room in the ScrapScription "warehouse".  The kits will remain up on the blog entry below for a little while longer.  So there is still time to pick up the few items left! 

We also picked our final "MONTH OF BELLA"winner on Friday.  This lucky winner comes to us from the far northwest.  We actually met her back in 2004 at CKU-Masters in Utah and she was one of our "dorm members".  Our dorm was called the "ScrapDoctors" and we all dressed up like "witch doctors" complete with face paint, bone necklaces, earrings and crowns.  We even had a cauldron with "fire" (dry ice). 

Okay - so I found this old picture on my external hard drive and just had to share - Karen and Candy should get a kick out of this!  What were we thinking with those outfits???  And all just to win some free scrapbooking products???  :)

SCRAPDOCTORS 2004 - CKU MASTERS, UTAH

Congratulations to Karen H.! 

Karen will be receiving an awesome product prize pack donated by Bella Blvd!  Enjoy your PRIZE Karen!!!

It's time for our BIG SUMMER BLOG SALE!  After producing many exclusive kits for the Mega Meet show in May, we have limited quantities of these kits left over when we come home.  Since there are so few left, they will probably never make it to the website so we instead bring them to you here on our blog where you can purchase directly using PayPal. 

So without further adieu - happy shopping ladies!  If you have any questions about the kits here, just email us at info@scrapscription.com.
