April/May Newsletter

New Summer Hours

We just want to remind you that beginning Sunday, May 25 (Memorial Weekend), Scrapbook Studio will be closed on Sundays throughout the summer months.

We will continue to be closed on Mondays as usual.

We will also be closed on Sunday, May 11, in honor of Mother's Day. We hope all you Mother's have a wonderful day with your loved ones.

Celebrity Guest Designer

OK ladies she's coming to Scrapbook Studio…Lisa Falduto, celebrity designer for many companies including Cosmo Cricket (one of our favorite companies) is coming to teach at Scrapbook Studio.

Lisa will be here on Saturday, May 10, teaching two classes, back to back, showcasing the new Cosmo Cricket lines.

The first class begins at 10a until noon, and will be Home Sweet Home layouts and cards using Cosmo Cricket's new Fleuriste collection. At 1:30a until 3:30p she will be teaching a mini Vacation Album using the Get Happy collection from Cosmo Cricket. Not only will she teach you these projects, she will showcase many different techniques to help you use the tools and products you may already have, but don't know how to use, or have never used.
Lisa will also return on Tuesday, June 3, from 6p - 8p teaching the Home Sweet Home class, and again on Wednesday, June 10, from 6p to 8p, to teach the mini Vacation Album, for those of you who can’t make it on a Saturday.

We are so excited to have a celebrity teach at our Studio. This is quite an honor and I just hope we can show our support for Lisa so she will return again. Lisa is a very talented instructor and designer and has a great following. You can see some of her work at:
Scrapbook Resumes
Her Blog
As you know, seats are limited in the Studio, so be sure to sign up quickly before these classes are sold out.

PS - If you sign up for one of Lisa's classes, and can tell us how Cosmo Cricket got its name when you sign up, you will receive a free gift from the Studio...a very nice gift I might add that totals more than the class fee.

Don't delay, call or stop in to sign up for these very great classes, by a fantastic designer from Cosmo Cricket.

May/June Class Kick-Off

Don't forget, this Tuesday, April 29, we will be hosting our May/June Class Kick-Off. These events are always a great time, with food, drinks, discounts, and more.
Stop by the Studio anytime between 6p and 8p to preview the classes that will be held in May and June. Our teachers will be available to answer questions, help you with your supply list and showcase their classes.

Remember, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Graduation, and end of school are always the perfect time to make gifts for your loved ones and of course, the favorite teacher. We have all of these covered in our classes and what could be a better gift than a homemade gift.

For every class you sign up for at the Class Kick-Off, you will receive a 10% discount off that class.

New Cardstock Company - Core d'nations is here We made the decision to bring in a new cardstock company that is better than Bazzill. It is called Core d'nations and it is fantastic. This versatile cardstock gives you at least three or more ways to use it. The texture is very similar to Bazzill, but it has a core color that allows you to sand, tear, emboss or distress it to give you another color in the core of the paper (the middle).

For those of you who liked Die Cuts with a View, that has a white core middle, you will love this new cardstock. It is the same price as Bazzill, but has triple the value.

BAZZILL SALE!!!

With the addition of the new Core d'nations cardstock, we must get rid of all the Bazzill. We are selling it off at a special price, just to get rid of it. Stop by and get your favorite colors before it is gone. At 10 sheets for $4.00 it is sure to go fast - that is 40 cents a sheet. However, you must purchase in increments of at least 10 sheets for that special price.

Now is the time to stock up if you are a Bazzill fanatic. Not only will we not sell it anymore, but they announced a price increase as of June 1.

National Scrapbook DayWe still have a few spots left for our Friday Night National Scrapbook Day Crop on May 2.

If you are interested in having a great time, getting great deals, freebies, food, drinks, fun, games and more, be sure to sign up for our Friday night crop in honor of National Scrapbook Day. This promises to be a ball, with all sorts of free stuff from our vendors.

Not to mention the great company you will be in with all the fun ladies that attend these crops. Space is limited so be sure to sign up soon. This crop is only a week away.

In honor of National Scrapbook Day, Saturday, May 3, Scrapbook Studio will be having several make 'n takes for you to participate in. We will have hourly raffles, give-a-ways and of course lots of stuff on sale. Be sure to stop by the Studio on National Scrapbook Day to get great deals, lots of fun and plenty of sales.

We can't wait to celebrate the most famous day of the year for Scrapbookers.

Father's Day Charity Card Contest OK all you card makers...now is the time to concentrate your efforts on making the best Father's Day card ever. We will begin taking entries for the Charity Card Contest on May 1. All cards must be related to Father's Day and judging will begin May 10, ending on June 10, so you can get your cards back before Father's Day.

This Charity Card Contest has been so much fun the past two times we have done it...more importantly we have raised money for two different Charities in the Wausau area. What a great thing you ladies have done to help our community. You should be very proud of yourselves. I know we are proud of you for all your support of this great event.

Remember, turn in your cards before May 10, vote on your favorite card for a penny a vote (feel free to throw in a nickel, dime or quarter) and the rest is history. The card with the most money will be the winning card.

Even though we do have a grand prize winner, everyone of you is a winner and gets a small token of appreciation from Scrapbook Studio.

Please help us out again, and bring in your cards for our Charity Card Contest. Let us know if you have a favorite local charity you would like the money to go to from this contest.
