Store Report: Scrappies

 Store Report and Haul!

I am a bit late on posting this, but it doesn't really matter. I went a few weeks ago to a store in Palatka, FL called Scrappies. WOW! It's a big store packed to the ceiling (literally) with stuff! Casey the owner was really nice and let us run wild throughout the store. :-) She carries a lot of the latest brands! There is a whole section dedicated to Project Life, she also has classes on how to start a Project Life scrapbook. She has two crop rooms, classes, retreats and more!

I would say if you are visitng Florida and staying or living near Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Ormond Beach, Daytona Beach, Deland then it is totally worth the trip to get there! If you are farther away it is still worth the trip, just a longer drive.... :-) It was an hour and a half drive from South East Volusia County on scenic back roads.

Stampfest 2012 - Orlando

Last weekend I ventured out to Orlando. When I say ventured, I MEAN it. The Stampfest was happening and they moved it his year from Kissimmee to International Drive in Orlando. When yes this is closer to me, it is still in the tourist area of Orlando. Just down the street from Wet N' Wild in fact. The parking was crazy! You had to stalk people going back to their cars, just to get a spot. Anyway, I got one finally!  At least you didn't have to walk far for the entrance of the Stampfest!  I found a few things, but probably not worth going again. I show you all I got in the video below!

Enjoy!



Happy Stampin!

Retro Sketches # 17 - Feeling Crappy?

Hey all! Here is another challenge card I created during the 12 hour crop in South Carolina over the weekend.  We were searching for some new challenge blogs and Sam found this one, Retro Sketches! I loved the layout and it made for a great card! While at the crop we did some shopping (of course) and found this hilarious Unity Stamp. It was so perfect for my fiance that I had to immediately make a card. He is always saying everything is crappy, it's like a running joke. He calls me going to a "Crop" is really are you going "Crapping" etc.....  

Materials:
Authentique Paper

Unity Stamp Itty Bitty

Washi Tape

Kraft Cardstock - My Favorite Things (MFT)

Speckled Egg, Jenni Bowlin Ink

Versafine Ink, Black

Happy Scrapping!
