Unique Features at ELS

As a local scrapbook store, we have to differientiate ourselves from onlines stores and competitors.  We are constantly looking for ideas that we think our customers will love.

A couple of things we do differently!

1. We have a Dollar Wall... we have chipboard shapes, die cuts, trims, etc. all for a dollar.  We think that's a great deal!
2. Chipboard Album Bar... we have a bar where you can build your own chipboard album.  Pick and choose by the page to build your own mini album.  Just the right size and shape for your project!
3. Free crops during the week... Nope, we don't charge you a nickel for cropping during the day.  And on those Saturdays we don't already have a crop or class scheduled, well that's free too!
4. We ALWAYS say "Hello!" when you walk in the door.

If you've not been to our store, come check us out.  We are family owned and operated, so you'll feel welcome from the minute you step in.

See you soon!

New Things

March Update

Saturday, March 2, 2013

UPDATE!

Well guys I know it been awhile since I have blogged, but I'll catch you up. First we started a new competition called Project in a Bag every month. Secondly we received ALOT of new things including Bobunny  Mama Razzi 2, Echo Park About a Boy, American Craft Yes line, and much more. This incoming Saturday (March 9, 2013) we have a Make-n-Take over the new STAMPENDOUS Encrusted Jewel Kit. (Picture -->)

Inspiration Challenge

It's a new year, so I thought maybe it would be fun to challenge you to create a project with an unconventional image.  I know I surf the 'net all the time looking for scrapbook, card, and papercrafting projects I can CASE.  But how fun would it be to take an image that has absolutely nothing to do with paper and make a project reminiscent of that unconventional picture.

So, I found this really cool picture of a runway fashion model.  The outfit is completely crazy and outlandish, but I can totally envision a card using the inspirational elements!    I'll be working on my project, and will try to get it posted shortly.  If you want to join me in the posting, email me a pic of your finished project to everylastscrap@gmail.com!

Hoping to Grow

Well, Every Last Scrap will be 6 months old in just a couple of weeks.  We have met a ton of great new people, and it's definitely been educational.  We are thankful for all of you who allow us to make the mistakes and learn the lessons of a new business owner!   As most of you know, it's a family affair - me, Mom, and Brooke are the only "employees" - but as we've journeyed through, a few lovely ladies have joined our little scrapping family (you know who you are!) 

The economy makes it challenging, and we are certainly working hard to stay in business.  Please give us your feedback and ideas on ways we can encourage our scrapping community to shop with us, instead of the big box stores.  Those darn 40% off coupons are hard to compete with!  :-)

A few things we plan to do after the first of the year:

Introduce monthly contests - we know we have talented customers and we want you to have the chance to show off!
Friends & Family discounts - we'll be providing our customers with little coupon cards to give to those scrappy friends and family who have yet to visit us.  When they come in for the first time and give us your name, you'll both get a discount!
Monthly Raffles - Details forthcoming, so watch our Facebook/Emails, but the plan is to assemble great gift baskets (worth at least $100) and you'll be able to buy tickets for just $2...no limit to the number of tickets you can buy!

So, keep us in your prayers, shop with us, and watch for updates!

Homecoming & Holidays

Well, Chickies, the Harden household has experienced its first homecoming dance.  Brooke looked so pretty, but as a freshman, I think she felt a bit out of place.  No worries, I got some GREAT pics of her in her dress, which I totally plan to scrapbook.  It reminds me how quickly the school year passes, and now we are halfway through October!

The cool part, is we are coming up on holiday season...Brooke says, "I love the holidays, Mom!"  I do too... so many photo ops, so many scrapbook layouts to make!  We've had some really cute stuff arrive at the store.  I can't decide what my favorite is, but I think October Afternoon's Witch Hazel is definitely one of the cutest... Can anyone see Samantha from Bewitched ???

 

Great Design Team Members!

Labor Day & New Crops!

Hey, Chickies! 

So thankful for the day off today to celebrate work!  What did you do this weekend?  Did you go to the pool or lake?  Did you have a cookout?  Did you go to the movies?  Hopefully you got to craft a little bit...I did get to make a card for my MIL.  And, the family and I went to a friends 50th birthday party so we got to do the pool/cookout thing.

So how did Labor day begin?  Check out this Wikipedia link for more information!  (Coz I know you all want to know!)

I also want to announce we are adding a Friday Night Lights crop on the first Friday of the month, and a 10-10-10 Crop the last weekend of the month.  We are excited to add these new crops to our schedule!!  Make sure to watch our Google calendar: www.every-last-scrap.com/calendar.html

We will be having a Make N' Take this Saturday August 25th over this product!

 



Prima Papers and Grandma

Wow!  My mom made this great layout of my grandmother with the Prima paper line "Romance Novel"!  The colors in the picture matched the colors in the paper just perfectly.  Add a few flowers, ribbon, and a butterfly punch, and the layout is just gorgeous. 

This line only comes with 10 pieces of paper per design, so Prima definitely knows how to keep us wanting!

The crazy thing, is before I opened a store, I don't think I even knew Prima has papers!  How crazy is that!

End of Summer

Well, Chickies, the end of summer is upon us.  It's one of those bittersweet times of year... if you have kids, you'll be sad (and glad!) to send them back off to school so you have a little "me" time again.  Or, maybe you are hitting a milestone with your child - first day of Kindergarden, first day of Middle School, first day of High School (like mine!), or even First day of College. 

If you don't have kids, maybe you're a little sad because the endless days of summer will be over and the days at the pool, lake, or beach are ending.  (Maybe not, though, it IS Texas after all!) 

Anyway, I know that the last couple of weeks of summer are busy for a lot of us trying to get those last couple days of vacation, shopping for school...maybe you're like me, too, and at work you are moving into budgeting season (UGH!), so you have longer hours.

I know it's hard to find time to scrapbook, but admist all this busy time, please take a hour or two a week for yourself and create a little something pretty.  Get your hands dirty, look at some pictures and reminisce a bit.  Don't let the time slip away too quickly!


PS...
Pardon me a moment while I brag on my sweetie... she's heading into high school this year.  If you've been to the store, then you've probably seen her working with her MeeMaw... Here's a pic of my baby in some new school clothes.

National Lighthouse Day

Tuesday, August 7, 2012

National Lighthouse Day

Today is National Lighthouse Day! On this day in 1789, the United States Congress approved an Act “for the establishment and support of lighthouses, beacons, buoys, and public piers.” This piece of legislation commissioned the first Federal lighthouse, which was constructed at the entrance of Chesapeake Bay. Two hundred years later, Congress designated August 7th as National Lighthouse Day to commemorate this important moment in history and to celebrate these beautiful structures.
