Scrap-To-IT! Times!
April 2008 Edition

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.

Technique Time!
StazOn clothing, shoes, steno books, etc.
By Michelle Charles for Tsukineko
Designer: Michelle Charles (Mountain View, Oklahoma) Here are some basic instructions for applying the ink to any surface. If working on a porous surface (fabric, uncoated paper), coat with white Gesso. Let dry. Use a Sponge Dauber, Jumbo Dauber, Ink Sweeper or cosmetic sponge to dab StazOn ink onto surface. To blend colors, lightly dab color over other ink color. Let ink dry. Stamp designs over inked background with StazOn black ink. Stencil and doodle designs and words with black Fabrico permanent marker (or other black permanent marker). Highlight doodles and words with a white paint marker. Add additional embellishments with glitter glue and rhinestones. Optional: Seal surface with a water-based varnish.
