A note from Gloria, Stacey and Staff: Twelve years ago we opened a small scrapbook store, and the question we were asked most; "what is scrapbooking?" Boy have times changed, the hobby grew by leaps and bounds and amazingly our store grew right along with it. We've seen so many changes in the style of scrapbooking, (remember cutting your pictures into various shapes?) And then amazingly, scrapbooking and rubber stamping steadily started to mesh together - we wondered if it ever really would happen, but sure enough it did. We became a full service scrapbook and rubber stamp store. The one thing that has been steadfast, is the wonderful opportunity we have had in making new friends and building lifelong relationships with some of you. We appreciate your support and for allowing us to " help you create memories one page at a time"... and to "Make an Artful Impression." Indeed it is YOU that we will miss the most.

Free This Weekend?

Hey!!! If you're free this Saturday or Sunday, we've got TWO great classes coming your way. First, on Saturday, Lori has a fun CRICUT "Make your own Album" class from 1:00-5:00. For only $30.00 bring your CRICUT and come make a one of a kind 6 x 6 album using photos, papers, embellishments, ideas and all things "electronically cut". Then on Sunday, Sami has created a cool TEEN BOREDOM BUSTER book. It's only $15.00 and you don't have to be a teen to come have fun and make one your own. It's colorful, full of thoughtful spaces to pen what's on your mind and there's glitter involved too! So give us a call, come beat the heat and use your time to create something from yourself which those you love will be glad you took time to do!

What a busy weekend!!! Scrappers and crops and stampers and cropping! But I think everyone had fun, got some cool new ideas and fun new goodies to work with. We've gotten some new 7 GYPSIES fun things in for your altered art enjoyment. And the newsletter is published! Your very own copy should be coming in the mail, otherwise check out our website at www.stampstruck.com and call to sign up for the class fun coming your way. An F.Y.I., it's Miss Gloria's birthday July 5th. Yes, the queen, royale will be celebrating another year of wisdom, smile wrinkles and daily blessings. If you'd like to drop her a card, we'll have a basket up front for her and then when she returns from her birthday "romp" with her brother, mother and husband, up the coast, we'll shower her with paper wishes. Everyone have a great week, do a little bit of art. Whether it's just grabbing a minute to stamp your checks while paying bills or throwing together a card for a friend or getting to a full page scrapbook spread...enjoy the process, relish the creativity, feed upon the journey!

Classes, classes, classes...

Someone has inquired about Sue's classes. As the ink is still wet on her "class idea" sheets, I can't quite divulge specifics yet except to say, "have you ever heard of a 'grunge paper' quilt" or" how do you feel about sharing your artwork with other artists, actually creating for them as they create for you?" And she's also bringing back some favorites with alcohol inks, sheer heaven and acrylic transfers. We're looking at some Tuesday night classes too, so clear your Tuesdays and get ready to have fun! We've also noticed an influx of out of towners swooping in to grab up the new goodies that are filling our shelves. Don't forget to stop in and see what's new before it's out and thanks to all of you for your support!

And another thing! We have a new addition to the royal court...A COLOR COPIER! You now have the option of copying your masterpieces in color. 12 x 12 copy is $1.75, 8 1/2 x 11 copy is 75c

Get your summer ART on!!!

Look what you can make in an evening! Or gather the kids around and whip out some fun cards to send this summer...snail mail, the old-fashioned way, it gets them off the computer! With this kit by BASIC GREY make 8 cards...BUT you'd better hurry, we only have 4 kits left! The Kit comes complete with envelopes, rub-ons, papers and embellishments! Stampede on down to SCRAPBOOK KING 'n' STAMPSTRUCK and get yours NOW!!!

In the Process

We're punching out the JULY/AUGUST newsletter as I write! Sue has some innovative, progressive night classes formulating, Marilyn is ready to introduce you all to the great big new world of "GRIDDIES", Diane just brought in two beautiful bird cards deftly colored with GLIMMER MIST and there's more to come! Have you ever wondered what the world would be like in just black and white...not morally speaking but if the entire world were either the absence of color (white) or the addition of all colors at once (black)? Colorful thoughts to you, full of variations, textures and shades!

Here we are!

Salutations! We return after a short hiatus with glorious news! Come in and see the new travel papers and embellishments, funky artsy stamps and pick the brains of our overzealous staff for ideas about everything from which ink to use to which adhesive smells best...or works best...or smells worse, whichever. We aim to have fun and take you along with us! Come in and visit! Happy "arting!"
