This is a “you have to see it” kinda product.  We have a Flower Soft Card Class this Thursday night at 5:30 and there are only a few spots left.  You get a complete starter kit and everything you need to make three great cards and a whole bunch more at home.  $30 Check out these photos… 

REMINDER! Sale Paper is 60% off today only (normally 35%) and get an extra 25% off clearance items. TODAY ONLY.  That makes some items about 75% off.  WOW!!!! 

Kim and Andrea are re-organizing the whole store so look for an even better Urban Scrapbooker shortly.  In the mean time, I am putting tons of stuff on clearance to make room for all the new goodies we have coming and have no room for.

And PCC is having a big event over in their parking lot today so you could stop in here and get some great deals, then swing over there for some yummy treats.  Sounds like fun!

After reading each and every comment and trying to remember which contests went with which prizes, it looks like I have determined the winners.  I want you to know that in order to be totally random, since I have no one around to do the drawing, i spun myself around so there would be no bias.  I did, however, seem to make myself sick in the process.  I might have to come up with a better method next time…

Drum Roll Please…

Thermo-Web Prize Pack

“What is your favorite brand and type of adhesive?”

Marjan answered “My two favorites are: Tombo Mono Multi liquid glue and American crafts This to That.”

And I have to say, I CAN NOT work without my Tombow Mono Multi glue.  This is by far our best selling adhesive.  And although the American Crafts adhesives are new to the market, they are quickly becoming a favorite and making people talk (and boy, the dot runner is sticky!)

Moxxie Rub-On Packs

This one was all about blog comments.  We wanted to hear what you thought about what we had posted so far.  I was excited to see what you were liking (and not liking<grin>)

Linda Adkins commented on Graphic 45’s Alice in Wonderland and Steampunk lines “Another favorite! Boy is my purse going to suffer this year!”

HA HA HA Linda!  Thanks for this comment.  Inger and I were laughing at the show when we read this.  I love the releases from Graphic 45 too.  The Alice in Wonderland is going to be POPULAR!

Tim Holtz Halloween Stamp

What Tim Holtz product do you want to try?

Amy W says “gotta be the paint dabbers with the resist. too cool!!”

I haven’t tried that one either, but i think it should be on the list of techniques we explore in upcoming classes.  Seems like too much fun!

This stamp was Tim’s favorite and mine too.  I just love her!!!

6×6 Paper Stack from the Girls Paperie

What three items do you absolutely require in order to scrap?

Ha, well, for this contest we dreamed up the question quite late the night before.  It seems this is the question I said for Inger to put as the contest question, but what I meant was what are the 3 things you absolutely can’t live without when you scrap (or other paper crafting).  My 3 are my Tombow Mono glue, Cutter Bee Scissors (you know how much I like cutting things out!), and my Cutterpede paper trimmer.  Without that trio, I find myself getting very frusterated.  Oh well, I guess we’ll save that question for another contest…  On to the winner…

Colleen writes “I don’t scrap, just make cards, but if I did I’d need paper, scissors, & adhesive.”

HA HA HA.  Good answer Colleen!  You’re not “just a card maker”!  We got a bunch of non-scrapbooking, card-makers that shop here, so you are in good company.  And my guess is that you need paper, scissors and adhesive for card-making too!

Tim Holtz Tags and Crackle Accents

“What Tim Holtz products do you LOVE?”

Tracy Johnson wrote “OMG….what if I say ALL of it….what parts are not to LOVE….okay okay Distress Inks….so many colors to choose from….and his embossing folders like the way they cover to the edges.”

I haven’t gotten to try all of it yet, but I’m getting so excited for it to arrive.  I just talked to Ranger today and it looks like the Distress Inks, Stickles, Alcohol Inks and everything else I ordered that is currently in stock will be shipping tomorrow.  Inky fingers, here I come!!!

Congratulations to all the winners and thanks to everyone for participating.  I really appreciated your input and I’m as excited as you are for the new goodies to start arriving!  I’ll keep you posted!  ~B

The Winning Numbers are 803796.  Is it you???

Take a few minutes and watch these videos. They are a hoot and informative at the same time….  They go in sequence.

Brooke picks up a vibe in the room.

Brooke spots Tim Holtz

Brooke scores an interview with Tim Holtz. Can you tell if she is excited?

A new definition of corny, but fun.

This is a demo

Wednesday’ scrap lotto winner is . . . 803851 Congratulations! Bring your ticket in to the store to claim your gift certificate.

You have to see this stuff. It’s like fuzzy glitter! You can add snow to your pages, make flowers, and do all kinds of great stuff with it and it’s so easy!

You’ve been asking for this, so Brooke ordered all the colors! She also will be doing a class and you’ll get all of the goodies you see in the picture cleverly titled “class goodies.”

This is likely to be our last post from Chicago, as we’re sitting on the plane now. Thanks for all of your input! You’ve helped Brooke make several decisions for your scrapbook store!

All of Prima’s lines have a different look. This makes their booth very interesting! From pretty to cutesy to funky, it’s all here.

The AnnaLee line is very feminine and pretty. Think roses!

Fairy Flora – also pretty and feminine, but with a little grunge added and a more watercolor feel.

Paisley Road – bright, funky and fun! Big flowers, wild colors. Excellent matching blingy embellishments for this line too!

So Cute – well what else do I need to say? This is a kid-oriented line with a nice bonus: boyish on one side, girly on the other!

Prima sells gorgeous flower and butterfly embellishments, and Brooke grabbed a nice selection of these. I think you’ll love them! I’m posting a sample for you to see. She also grabbed lots of sticky pearls and rhinestones and stuff like that.

Brooke picked up several clear stamps and some stencils that will be fun to use with the Luminesce misters we told you about a few days ago (see Creative Imagininations post) or with chalks, paints, inks, whatever.

This is just more goodness in the long list of stuff that Brooke is putting together for us!
