Karen Russell to teach at Scrapbook King

We are SOOOOO excited to announce that Karen Russell will be teaching her brand new class here at "The King." The class is called "Interactive Scrapbooking," and will be at 9 a.m. on Saturday, March 8th. In class you will create 2 single page layouts using her very own line of "Narratives" products along with some of the wonderful embellishments from the Creative Cafe line (we are one of 200 exclusive stores in the nation to carry it.) You get to choose your own color scheme for the layouts, and each layout will include an interactive element that will hold additional pictures or memorabilia. The class kit is packed full of products, valued at over $50. The class is just $55 and you get the entire kit, PLUS 4 hours of time with the famed designer Karen Russell. It's going to be FUN. Space is limited and sign-ups are being taken at the store now. Pre-payment is required to register. Please come in to the store to sign-up or snail mail your check payable to Scrapbook King.

For just $5 you'll take home this completed project that will make a wonderful gift for someone special or a cute addition to your holiday decor.

{ART BAR} CELEBRATION

Tomorrow we are hosting an introductory celebration of the {ART BAR} and Cretive Cafe line of products. We will be offering FREE projects and a 15% discount on all Creative Cafe products. Here are pictures of the projects that will be offered. From 11am to 1pm we will be making this cute little holiday card using acrylic stamps, twill, and buttons. Between 1pm and 3pm the featured project is a gift card holder, good for any occasion. These are a couple quick projects that we will be doing as an introduction. Each Wednesday we will host Happy Hour at the {ART BAR} from 4:30 - 6:30. The projects will be different each week and may be a scrapbook layout, a card, home decor, mini book or gift idea. There will be a small fee to do these projects and that fee will vary from project to project as some are more advanced than others. This Saturday you will have the opportunity to see photos and samples of some of the upcoming projects.

A New Look for "The King'

We've been busy around the store sprucing things up. Come in to see our whole new look. We have added a little color, made an entire CARDSTOCK ROOM, re-arranged our categories, and last but certainly not least, we've added the Creative Cafe {ART BAR}. I'm so excited about how our store looks, it feels like we just opened for the first time. I have to say thank you to our work crew that worked day and night to get so much work done in such a short amount of time. "Thanks ladies! I could not have done this without you. I'll be buying margaritas for everyone real soon." The {ART BAR} is up and the product is out. It has been very well received so far. Saturday is our {ART BAR} Celebration day. We will be offering a couple free projects during the day and all Creative Cafe products are on SALE 15% off. I am working on our projects for Saturday and will post pictures of them soon.

Route 5 Wrap-Up

Well it's been almost 2 weeks since the retreat. I've finally recovered and am excited to say that the final figures came in today. Route 5 Scrapbook Retreat raised over $3100 for the Children's Advocacy Center. Woo Hoo! Good job goes out to all the ladies that attended. Not only we were able to give a financial donation, we were able to give the Advocacy Center a car load of scrapbook supplies as well. We had a great time and the feedback we've been receiving is wonderful. We enjoyed having Karen Russell and Courtney DeLaura come to the event and share their talents with all of us. Don't worry if you missed this event, we'll be putting together the 2nd annual Route 5 event in 2008.
