Christmas Journal Project

Here are some of the images of the one of the projects we did during the Christmas season. The pics don't really do this justice. It was a super fun project and the Kaiser pages are awesome!

The pics are a bit out of order -- if you need an explanation e-mail me at shop.scraptoit@yahoo.com . I'll try to get these moved around (but I am not as image-skilled as I would like to be)

Enjoy!

Nothing To Do With Scrapbooking and Everything To Do With....

I know this post has nothing to do with scrapbooking -- but it does have everything to do with the upcoming holiday and all the fun (or disappointment) of the evening.

While purusing the internet today, I came across this on Yahoo.
"The 10 Most Disappointing Treats for Trick-or-Treaters"

I couldn't resist reading it. Itsn't this the bane of every little princess or cowboy or goblin, ghost and ghoul as walking up to the candy bowl at the door and finding that junk candy?

Honestly, we make other plans on that night that include getting our own bag of our favorite chocolate. But we do like to pass out candy and we have been talked into running around the block (or two or three) at the last minute before we go back to our private stash and pizza and a movie.

Here's the link for the article. Read up on it so you'll be "the house" of the year in your neck of the woods.

Happy Halloween to all!

Black Friday A.K.A Turkey Buck Day At STI

In just a few weeks, 6 in fact, we will begin the big holiday shopping season. "Black Friday" as it is often referred to here in the US is the biggest shopping day of the year.

Last year at Scrap-To-It! we held our Black Friday/Thanksgiving Sales on Wednesday before Turkey Day. We had some great sales and enjoyed the visits we had that day. However this year, we are going to be shaking our Thanksgiving Sale up a bit.

Tuesday November 25th - Turkey Buck Sale
For every $10.00 spent during the sale you will be able to earn turkey bucks to be used towards sale items in December. More details will follow in our newsletter and on the website.

Wednesday - Saturday November 26 - 29th We will be closed, but you are welcome to call the store if you need anything and we can schedule a shopping appointment.

We will be open on Monday December 1st and remain open each Monday through December.

We are excited about this holiday season. We have some great projects and classes planned and hope that you'll spend some of your creative time with us at STI!

Anniversary/Birthday Sale

I knew a year ago, when I signed the lease on my store space and took my 5 year old online store into a retail store front that one day, this day, my first anniversary, would come. It seemed far away and didn't really take up much thought, but I knew I'd make it. I knew my drive and determination to succeed was strong and real. I had a plan, and while to some it may seem like a small scale dream, it was mine and I worked at it with the same love and determination as anyone trying to forge a path through a course they had yet to chart.

My parents owned a retail store many many years ago and I had worked in retail (among many other life-paths) I knew the long hours, I knew of the commitment and I knew that it wouldn't always be just what I had hope. Nonetheless, I had a dream, a plan and the timing was right. I just had to take the leap of faith and see where it would all go. What a ride it has been.

From the day the ad hit the papers customers began showing up. Wonderful people who have become some of my dearest friends. I knew this was the way it was supposed to work, yet it still took me by surprise.

Over the year my little store has grown from a small, barely filled office space, to one over-flowing and bursting at the seams, (I had to get creative for how to display product there for a while) to a 5 room store with many more possibilities to discover and work through over the next year. I'm so excited to see where this all takes me.

However, no good mile marker should be left un-celebrated...and in honor of a year of fun and friendships and growth we are celebrating our birthday. If you are in our area, please join us on September 27th for a day of creating and celebrating!

A special thank you to all of you who have become a part of the Scrap-To-It! family this year. We love you, we appreciate you and we hope for many more days of friendship and laughter and joy!


Happy Birthday Scrap-To-It!

What Happened to May and June??

I'm not sure where June went, but I can say that towards the end of May my world came to a screeching halt. How? Well, if you have ever taken a trip to the hospital for a few days, that's how. Towards mid-May my daughter became very ill, suddenly so, drastically and frighteningly so. We ended up at Children's for a few days to treat her. While it was a frightening time, my stay there was also eye-opening and brought me to my knees in gratitude. With a child in the hospital, this momma keeps a tight vigil and refuses to budge or sleep. Each night the life flight helicopter stopped right near my daughter's hospital room window, over and over and over. Over and over I was reminded that while my daughter was not well, she was not in a desperate condition that required a life flight. Over and over I thanked God for that blessing.

This was a first for me with a child, but not personally. And I'm here to tell you that hospital stays take me from reality and cause an abrupt stop to my brain, memory and life processes. It always takes me a while to get back into the grove. This is what happened to my June.

Now tomorrow finds me now at the 4th of July and our nation's Independence Day. If you are in the Wentzville area of Missouri tomorrow you'll find Scrap-To-It! along the parade route on West Pearce passing out flyers and coupons for our Summer Spectacular Scrapbooking Sale. If you aren't in the area, but would like to get a coupon, e-mail us at shop.scraptoit@yahoo.com

Whatever you are doing tomorrow, I hope you spend the day with those you love celebrating our freedoms. Even though times can be a bit tight now for some, gas prices what they are, we still have much to be thankful for. I hope that as the parade passes by your corner of our country, that seeing the flag brings tears to your eyes too. I hope that your children and grandchildren see that so that they gain a sense of patriotism. I hope that you drive by the cemetery where the flags are flying over the graves of those who have served our country and have kept the war from being in the backyards of our children. I hope that as your set your BBQ upon your tables, that you pause first to bow your head and thank God above for all of your blessings. What we have here in the United States is a gift from God. I hope all of us remember that. Especially this year, when we need a president that supports the beliefs this country was founded on. That God can be said in school. That children, and adults of faith, can pray and praise without condemnation. That peace will stay in this land and wars stay in others.

God bless you all and God bless the United States of America!

Out With Rainy May and in with a Sunny Summer!!

With Memorial Day approaching, and hopefully the rain leaving us here in the mid-west, we can begin to think about summer. I was at the garden shop yesterday looking for ideas for my flowerbed, but since it was pooring down rain, again!!...I opted to wait. Nothing like having flowers sitting in their containers and spoiling while we wait for the ground to dry out for planting. As I was wandering the isles, I wondered how many others were in my same boat, not sure if we'd be working on the gardens and having BBQs or trying to escape town and the rain for some other form of entertainment for the holiday weekend.

Typically Memorial Day weekend is the kick-off for summer. School is over or just about and our days are usually warmer. This year shows signs of not being the norm. Add to that the crazy gas prices and this weekend is starting to look like a great opportunity to get together with the gals and scrap.

If you are in need of a project, check out the chipboard word books on the website. These are great for gifts or for your personal mini book collection. We have several themes available and some of the previous holiday ones are on sale. Shoot us an e-mail or a list of what is in stock. Or to special order a word book with your family name, a child's name or your favorite word or expression.

If you are in our local area and want to book our crop room for you and your scrap gals, let us know. We have a couple great options for you.

So..whatever happens this weekend...rain or shine...play or work...scrap or not...we hope that there are plenty of memories for you and yours.

Have a great Memorial Weekend!

May Store Newsletter

Scrap-To-IT! Times!
May 2008 Edition

Welcome May!
May is a great month for scrapbooking. Besides National Scrapbook Day and Mothers Day, did you know the month of May also hosts these awesome picture taking opportunities?
1. National Smile Month – Here’s a chance to go through all those old photos you have and create a collage of pictures of your favorite smiles. Silly, cheesy, not so happy and so on.
2. National Hamburger Month – Take the camera and the family out to your favorite burger joint.
3. National Garage Sale Month – Think about taking the kids on a photo op thru their room snapping pictures of old toys and clothes that you clear out to donate. Save the memory while making space for new treasures to come.
4. May 15, is National Chocolate Chip day and May 16 is National Pizza Day. Pizza and chocolate…my kids would love a day in the kitchen with mom celebrating these two ingredients – both overly loved at our house. What about at yours?
Take a look at the link below in the technique section. This is from the PMA (photography association) group which has recently joined forces with a couple of the scrapbook associations. They have some great tips on their website to help take better pictures.

New in the Store –
White Pens are in. Those of you have been asking – we have a fresh batch for your doodling projects.

Rub-ons - we’ve added quite a few rub-ons to our product line this month, from several companies and in several themes. Including some great wedding themes from Beary Patch.

Still need a gift for Mom? Try a chipboard word book. MOM books still available.

As stated in last month’s e-mail the new Core’dinations cardstock has arrived.
This is a nice canvas textured cardstock that can be used as a traditional card -
stock or you can personalize it by sanding, tearing or antiquing. Each sheet has
a true-dyed core which compliments the surface color.

We also brought in a selection of Bazzill Smoothies – in luscious Father’s Day project colors. As well as a couple nice metallics.

We have more paper towers coming so that we can carry a bigger cardstock selection. We know there are many that are fond of Bazzill, but hope you’ll give these other really nice papers a try.


Next Month’s Teaser - Quick Quotes Kits
Check the website for more details and we bring in some of the great product lines, kits and projects from this company.

Non-Mom (or Celebrating Me) Layouts
It is true we all have a mom, but we aren’t all moms, or we don’t have little ones at home to scrap any more. Here are a few ideas for layouts for page that has nothing to do with you as a mom or you as a mother-in-law, or any other mom theme, but rather taking this month of May to celebrate you.

1. Scrap a photo of yourself as a child
2. Scrap a ‘day in the life of’ layout
3. Scrap your obsessions
4. Do a self Q/A. Ask and answer some questions about YOU
5. Scrap some of your favorites around town, places you shop, eat, play

Get yourself in the photos and tell the story of YOU. If you tend to be behind the camera a lot, you need to step out, every once in a while and tell your side of things.

*These ideas and many others can be found on Scrapbooks Etc.’s online magazine.

Have a great May. Enjoy your Memorial Day weekend – don’t forget to take your camera!

National Scrapbook Day!
In just a few weeks we will be celebrating another National Scrapbook Day. Now this might not be as big a day as say Christmas or your kid’s birthdays, but hey, that we, as scrapbookers, have our very own recognized day – it’s a ‘good thing!’ Ok, so maybe it doesn’t make the cut for calendar makers, but it is on our calendar and at STI we are planning and preparing to celebrate. We’ll be sending out a special NSD announcement as the details finalize and date gets closer. Watch your e-mail!!

New in the Store -
Pink Paislee, our new paper vendor, made a huge splash last month – so much so that we have now replenished our stock. If you didn’t get a chance to pick up these delicious scalloped papers, stop by Scrap-To-It! and see them for yourself.
For those of you who are already enjoying these awesome papers, we have added a couple new sheets to our collections. You’ll have to come see these in person to appreciate the detail and texture on these.

Crate Paper - Our newest paper line is here and looking oh so wonderful on the shelves. We have the new release, Kaitlin and Blue Hill. Along with the beautiful papers are some awesome rub-ons, some color to coordinate with the collection and the rest are in the delicious chocolate brown – ‘the new black’. Stop by the store and see these papers in person.

Crop-A-Dile II – The Big Bite is here. Well…we have one left. We were expecting several, but there was such a big rush on these from the trade show that they sold out at the manufacturer. We were lucky to get the three we did. We are expecting more, so if you are still waiting to get yours, please get on our pre-order list – soon. They are scheduled to ship from the manufacturer in May.

Kaiser Crafts - We will also be bringing in some wonderful paper and rub-on samplings from a new manufacturer, Kaiser Crafts. Kaiser has been feeding the craft cravings of the Australian market for quite a few years. They now have a facility here in the US that we can take advantage of. We are so excited to bring in their products.
Kaiser also has a great line-up of altered products in the raw for those of you who like to make home décor projects. We’ll be putting some images on the website soon for you to check out.

Tunes at STI!

Music tells a lot about about a person and can be a window to a soul. Have you ever scrapbooked with music lyrics? Do you use lines from songs or titles in your layouts? Do you collect and scrap your favorite quotes and thoughts? Music lyrics are a great addition to these types of albums.

We've been trying to add a playlist to our blog to entertain you as you read up on the activities at Scrap-To-It!. If the playlist isn't working when you open the blogsite, give me some time. This is a stretch for me and I may have to get my web buddy to help fix me. If it does work, it might speak volumes about the owner and author of 'Round and Round with Scrap-To-It!" If you are brave -- leave me a comment or two about my selections -- but go easy on me!

In the mean time, be thinking about the kinds of songs you like. Why you like them. When do you play them, and why? Does music stir you or does it relax you? Do you listen to different genres or are you a true-blue loyal to one style? Consider doing a layout or 'book of me' page about your music likes and dislikes. Consider doing one every few years as music changes and often we do too.

When I was growing up, I couldn't get my parents to even try to listen to my music. It actually took a few grandkids to help bring my parents up to speed. I have actually enjoyed having a teenager around to keep me in the loop with music trends. Granted, I don't like all of what he does, but I've enjoyed hearing some great tunes or touching lyrics in what he's introduced me to.

Scrapbooking and music...do they go together? What do you think? Those of you that are older, do you have memories of the music of high school days? Did you and your main squeeze have a song? What did you play at your wedding?

Those of you that are young moms now do you spend most of your time listening to Wiggles and Dan Zane (sheesh I hope I spelled that right)? My kids are really spread apart and for a long while if the radio was on in the SUV it was kid stuff. The teenager and I often opted for silence rather than spend an hour re-running Little People tunes. Luckily my dd has begun showing signs of enjoying what her older brother listens to (which of course means more mom monitoring). All of these are the seasons and phases of life. Do these things make it into the pages of your story? What will be your recorded history? Think about it...and see if music shouldn't be included.

Time To Scrap!

Ok...Valentine's day has come and gone. So has the green milk and pancakes and Easter too. If the rain would just stop and the rest of the cold weather, we would actually believe spring was on the way. I can see that the bulbs feel it.

Its a good time now to get out the box with the photos on it and start to put together a couple plans for your scrapbooks. Are you doing mini albums to help get the pictures scrapped? Are you using kits? What about some 'simple scrapping' techniques. Get the pictures on the pages and the memories recorded. Not every page needs to be an artistic masterpiece.

Every once in a while I go back to why I started scrapbooking and use that reminder as my focus. Also, it helps to talk to a couple other scrappers and see what they do to keep on focus or to keep caught up.

One friend on mine scraps 2 layouts per month of her child's activities. If something particularly memorable happens then that can be added in also if the 2 pages are done for the month and time permits. This way, she stays current on the year for her child and doesn't overwhelm herself with added stresses of recording everthing. Truly there isn't a way to record a whole life, but there is a way for the child to see meaning in their days as the years pass. And, for those recordings to go on thru time to the children and grandchildren of this child.

Another idea is to keep a planner of sorts of the layouts you want to do. Sketch them out and plan the titles etc as you take the pictures. Use Blueprint Layouts or Becky Higgins Sketch book for ideas of layouts. As you get the pictures printed or developed, take the sketch layout drawing and start to compile a kit for the layout. Put your notes, thoughts and journaling in the kit. When the layout it done your notes can be kept behind the page in the sheet protectors. This is a nice way to save details of you, the scrapper for your posterity to see.

Do you have a scrapbooking help or technique to share? E-mail it to me at shop.scraptoit.com and I'll post the ideas here on the blog.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!

In honor of all the flowers raised and grown and lovingly purchased and given this day...here are some of the things I've found about flowers and what they mean:

You want to give your sweetie a bouquet of flowers on Valentine's Day. That's a classy move. Think twice, though, before plucking any random bunch of blooms. If your special someone is among the thousands of searchers hitting the Web for "meaning of flowers," he or she may have a funny reaction to that clutch of striped carnations. (What you just said: "Sorry I can't be with you.")

To save you the horror of broadcasting the wrong message with yellow chrysanthemums ("slighted love"), yellow hyacinths ("jealousy"), or bright and shiny marigolds ("cruelty, grief, and jealousy," oh my!), we've paired the week's most searched-on flowers with their generally accepted meanings. Select with confidence... Roses - Love
Orchids - A belle
Iris - My compliments
Daisies - Innocence
Tulips - Declaration of love
Calla Lily - Beauty
Amaryllis - Splendid beauty
Hydrangea - Heartfelt
Anthurium - Hospitality
Daffodils - Chivalry
Chrysanthemums - Fidelity
Carnations - Pride and beauty
Lilacs - Youthful innocence
Birds of Paradise - Joyfulness
Tiger Lily - Wealth, pride
Peony - Bashful
Anemone - Anticipation
Sunflowers - Pure thoughts
Aster - Patience
Gladiolus - Strength of character



When it comes to sheer flower power, the rose is the "American Idol," the Michael Jordan, and the Beatles of botany, all rolled into one sweet-smelling, thorny cache. No flower comes close to its popularity. It draws its own "meaning" searches ("rose color meaning"), cooks up its own candy queries ("chocolate roses"),and sprinkles the Search box with its velvety parts ("rose petals").

If you're thinking of a dozen long-stemmed messages de amor for February 14, here are the week's most searched-on types of roses and their secret meanings...

Red Roses - Love and romance
Black Roses - Vengeance
Blue Roses - Mystery and intrigue
Pink Roses - Gratitude and appreciation
Purple Roses - Love at first sight
White Roses - Innocence and purity
Green Roses - Fertility
Yellow Roses - Joy and friendship
Lavender Roses - Enchantment
Orange Roses - Enthusiasm, passion

Pink, Love, Valentines and Exactly How Creative Are You

Pink has always been up at the top of my color favorites. As the trends come and go I find myself moving towards different colors, but I always come back to pink. So naturally I love February. I love when the Valentine papers and embellishments start showing up in the store. This year is no exception. We have really darling embellishments made for us by one of our private vendors. These designs are unique and cannot be found in other scrapbook stores. We have new chipboard word books just in time for all those pictures of you and your favorite loves. And we have some awesome papers from our favorite paper manufacturers. If the scrumptions colors of red, pink and browns sing to you, check out the new release from Scribble Scrabble. Or if you like the timeless designs of days gone by, Daisy D might be the February must haves. More papers are on the way. We hope to see Moxxie's new release for the Valentine holiday here soon.


Now....just how creative do you think you are?
Take this test and lets share....I'm not sure I like my 82%...but the little blurb was kinda nice.

You Are 82% Creative

You are an incredibly creative person. For you, there are no bounds or limits to your creativity. Your next creation could be something very great... Or at least very cool!

How Creative Are You?
