Classes...Wow!

Kell and I have been overwhelmed by your reaction to our last post. Thank you for taking the time to comment, email, post on your own blogs and even come into the store to tell us your thoughts. It is SO nice to be loved! I can't believe this but, rumours are already flying that we are closing. This is something that is NOT happening. You can help us by dispelling these rumours when you hear such nonsense. Make sure to tell your friends, Kim and Kell, personally informed you, first hand, that this is NOT true!

A New Teacher - Michelle Vink!

We are thrilled to introduce our newest scrapbooking teacher.

Michelle is a beautiful woman (inside and out) who is married and has 5 terrific kids who she says are 'her inspiration'. She started scrapping about 4 years ago thanks to her daughter who forced her to go to a beginners class. Michelle has been on a design team for about 1 1/2 years and just loves it! She is addicted to scrapping and have a huge passion for photography. You can check out more of her gorgeous works on her new blog or on gallery at ScrapbookDreamer.

We fell in love with Michelle's perfectly distressed and vintage style. Her use of chunky embellishments , techniques and eye for details made me fall in love. We were thrilled when she agreed to teach at our store! Michelle will be teaching monthly at the store so make sure you mark your calendars!
