Crop for a Cure in Mobile...

So the crop was awesome! Everyone was really nice, lots of scrappin was to be had, and there were tons of prizes and auctions! Colleen came with to help out, thanks Colleen!!! Melissa did an awesome job again this year. Hopefully it put her very near to her monetary goal for the 3-day walk in Tampa. You can check out her blog to check out crop pics, or to send a donation her way to help her reach her goal here.

So, we held a contest for the croppers over there, where they purchased a $5 kit from our booth, made whatever they wanted out of it, and we chose a winner at the end of the day. Well, the layouts were all so good that we actually chose 2 winners and a handful of honorable mentions. Here is a photo of ONE of the winners, hopefully Colleen will get the other photos up soon!


This layout was so cool because Ashley, the designer, cut the scalloped edge off of the whole paper, and put it on pop dots, so the layout literally looked like a shadow box! And look at that ribbon on a boy layout! Way to go Ashley!

Check for an email from us tomorrow telling how you could be the winner of a $50 gift certificate!

First Bra In, New Stuff in, Photo class added...

Hello! So the first bra has been turned in for the bra contest!

Stop by to vote or to turn yours in! Many local businesses are creating a bra to represent their company, so if you have a business, get some free advertising and make us a bra! We even have a bra coming all the way from Jamaica! There are some cheerleaders from local high schools decorating bras in their school colors, so if you have school spirit, you'd better get your friends together and make a bra to help your school win the most votes! Also, if there are any college football fans out there, you'd better get working on your bra, because we have several in the works!

Today we got a visit from Justin, AND our Fed Ex delivery guy! I mean, 2 boxes of new stuff in one day?? It was seriously a great day! :) Come by and check out the new stuff, which will continue coming in regularly! A few things that came were some of the new Tim Holtz Stickles, and tons of requests, like dirt bike stuff, 50th anniversary, softball, racing, Air Force, Fancy Pants, transparencies, Pink Paislee and more!

Also coming up is a photography class here at Scraphappy on September 8th from 6pm-8pm. The class is being taught by the owner of Rob's Camera, formerly Ritz Camera. Having great pictures for our layouts is just as important as all of the pretty paper and embellishments we use, so come learn some tips from a pro! The class is only $30, and Rob will be giving you guys $20 in coupons to his camera/print shop. Check the website for a detailed class description. Call or come by to sign up!

Don't forget, we are cropping this weekend from Friday 6-midnight and Saturday 9am-midnight. There are still spaces available, call to reserve yours!
