Hi!

I keep hearing spring is just around the corner. I sure hope its true! Although, I feel like this IS spring! We are still getting snow in Minnesota. Now, that's not even close to spring!

Spring has definitely sprung at the store. We got in lots of new papers this week..........so cute! We got a new line of Basic Grey and its fabulous. If you are a fan of Three Bugs in a Rug papers, you will love the new line that came in yesterday. I can't wait to make some new layouts with them. We got so many new papers that we had to put some great things in the sale room. We also got adorable paper-torn animals for your layouts. They are precious! They have been selling fast. Make sure you stop by and see all the new things we have.

Since I will soon be returning to Minnesota, we have a new Cricut instructor, Linda. She really knows the Cricut, inside and out. She will be teaching the Basic Cricut classes and also Design Studio. If you have a Cricut, you will really want to get in on these classes. People who have the Design Studio, really like it and use it all the time. It gives you more flexibility in creating your pages. It does things like "welding" your letters together, giving you limitless possibilities to create your own phrases or titles. This class is being offered March 18 at 6:30p. You do not have to have the Design Studio program to attend. This would be a good chance to see if this program is for you. Also, Cricut Club Members, Linda will be here, showing you a project you can make on the Cricut. Make sure you mark March 08 on your calendar to attend. We are very excited to have the opportunity to show you all the amazing things the Cricut has to offer. Come and let Linda show you how to get the best use of this incredible machine.

Don't forget about the All Day Crop on Sat, Feb 28. We have a few spots left. Call and get signed up for this day of fun. You won't want to miss it.

We had our first ScrapBingo last Sunday. It was so much fun that we are going to be having it monthly, the 3rd Sunday of each month. Call, get signed up and bring in your projects to work on while you play Bingo. Come and join in the fun!

Remember to check out our website. We are often adding new classes. I'm sure there's something on it for you!

I hope you get a chance to enjoy the spring-like weather. When walking Vickie's dog, I am amazed at all the flower buds I see. You don't see anything like this until mid-April in Minnesota! I love it!!!!!

Hello Everyone!
Life at the Scrapbook Pad has certainly been crazy. While the bosses were at CHA, we employees took the liberty of creating new ideas and displays around the store. We have some cute things for Valentine's Day. You need to come in and see them.
Next Sunday, 2/15, we are having our first ScrapBingo. I can't wait! You can scrap all day and for $5 you get a bingo card. There will be several games with prizes for the winners throughout the day. Call and get signed up. What a great way to have fun while getting your projects done. This will be an ongoing class on the third Sunday of each month.
We had such a great turnout for our SuperBowl crop that we are doing another one. We are having a President's Day Crop, Monday 2/16. This is a free crop, from 10a-8p. Check our website for details.
Our "It's Your Life" classes are a huge hit. We are starting another beginner's session February 14. The people who are on their second month are enjoying this class immensely. Get signed up and start creating your own personal journal, your legacy.
We have many more classes coming up. For you Cricut owners, we have our Cricut Club, the second Sunday of each month. The next get together is tomorrow, Sunday, from 1-4p. We will have a project you can make. If you are not a member of the Club, you can join us for $5 a month. We have fun sharing ideas, tricks and cartridges. Tomorrow we will also be using the ink pens.
