It's lovely weather...
...for a sleigh ride together...with you!
I am not going to apologize - it's December and I'm allowed to listen and better yet - SING - along with Christmas songs. I get some pretty strange looks in public places but I like to sing so I'm going to sing. It's a great therapy and my daughter loves it!
Anyway - another week starts at The Scrapbox and the Studio looks like a bomb went off in it. Eeeek! Anyway, I noticed that we have a really full week, but Friday night seems to be open - so I've decided to call it 'Open Studio Time' and if you want to come on down just to relax and crop for a few hours, please feel free to do so.
(Let it snow...let it snow...let it snow...)
I've also been following the Tim Holtz 12 tags of Christmas - and if you post a comment on his blog you could win a fab prize! So check it out, I certainly would love to do some of these things ... in my spare time of course! Oh well, at the very least it's eye candy - and the tags are really pretty too! =)
Hope to see you around the Scrapbox ranch sometime this week! Members your Newsletter is going to be out late tonite or tomorrow morning early!
hugs!

It's Sunday night - do you know where your LSS owner is??
Back home safely after a very fun christmas potluck party hosted by the Rockland ATC Ladies - I had a very good time and I'm still full from all the yummy foods! Emma did fall asleep on the way home (as expected) and she proudly showed off her ATC's to her daddy that she received in trade today. Will have to see if I can remember to post my ATC for November tomorrow when I get to the store and my camera.
*As a side note, people often call the store when it's off-business hours and are suprised to hear me pick up the phone - I'm there quite often when the store is closed just to catch up on all that picky paperwork! But not Sundays - those are just for Family and Friends =)
Starting tomorrow is Tim Holtz's 12 Days of Christmas Tags - from Dec 1 to Dec 12 he will be posting step by step instructions on how to use his products with his techniques and products making beautiful Christmas Themed Tags - presumably to put on a gift to someone this season. I highly recommend you check this out because in Jan or Feb I`ll be holding more Tim Holtz classes with these techniques! Yes indeed! There is a link on the left of this blog to go straight to his blog!
Anyways, just thought I would drop a line here since it`s been nearly 10 days since my last post and that`s just dreadful. Hope you had a good weekend and a safe one.
hugs!

Update of many things...
So much has happened in the last week it makes my head spin!
We celebrated this past Saturday at The Scrapbox our First Anniversary and it was a wonderful day full of good people having a good time! Would like to thank my mother for taking the time and making the trek all the way up here from 'Caygeon to spend the weekend with us. Also to my fab staff - Divas and Angels who spent the day with us too - you are a huge part of this store and success! And last, but certainly not least my Studio Members who have supported myself and The Scrapbox for the past year. Thank you for everything and I promise to do my best so that we are around for a long long time!
Also just arrived! Canadian Scrapbooker Fall/Winter Edition in which our own Diva Stephanie Pouliot will be featuring her first published layout (check out page 72!). For sale now in store, but to add to the fun next Wed evening, Nov 26 from 6 until 9pm Stephanie will be holding a magazine signing in our own Scrapbox Studio. Come on down and have a free cup of coffee and chat with your fellow members!
Also in store now...
I've done a quick flip through and there seems to be a fair size of the magazine dedicated to Stamps and the art of stamping. An excellant volume for scrapbookers of any level of skill (quit wrinkling your nose at me Kim!).
Love to see you soon!
Come Play...

Charity Event is revving up!
**Edit**
THIS EVENT WILL TAKE PLACE RAIN OR SHINE! All pictures and fun is happening indoors at the back in the Studio! We aren't going to let a bit of phooey weather dampen our spirits! Thanks in advance!
**End of Edit**
Things are starting to all fall into place for the First Annual Halloween Charity Event at The Scrapbox for "Scrapping with Cancer". As the days slip quickly by we are doing what we can to let the word out about what we are doing, who we are doing it with and who we are doing it for!
It's perhaps no secret now that I am a geek at heart - I love Star Wars! So when I had the opportunity to team up with the 501st Legion Capitol City Squad to raise awareness and funds for 'Scrapping with Cancer' it was easy as getting glue dots stuck to my fingernails!
So let's get to the facts shall we?
When: Sat Oct 25 starting at 12pm (high noon!)
Where: The Scrapbox, located at 5510 Canotek Rd (directions at the bottom of the post)
How : Come on down, in costume or not, big or little! Pay a wee fee and have your picture taken with creatures from the dark side!
Why : So we can raise monies to put together scrapbook kits for children diagnosed with cancer at CHEO! Yes! I have been approved to open a chapter of 'Scrapping with Cancer' that will be putting whatever we raise right back into our community, our hospitol, and more importantly our children.
What : You can bring your own camera and for $2 per person you take pictures of...well you can take their pictures with Star Wars Characters! If you want US to take your picture, we will be happy to take 6 photos of each person, and put them onto a CDrom for $6.00. All Proceeds go to 'Scrapping with Cancer'.
I will be promoting this event both on Rogers Daytime Television tomorrow morning, Monday Oct 21 showing at 11 am, 1pm and 5pm.
Also I am scheduled to appear on "A Morning" - the morning talk show on A Channel - on Wed Oct 22! My slot should be around 8:30am - if there is a change I will post it here!
*EDIT*
Ok here is the change that always happens when dealing with the media - our slot is now around 8:45am and will last about 4-5 mins in length. There will be 2 Clones in attendance as well!
*End of Edit*
And the above photo? Well - just wanted to give you a hint of what is to come!
Hope you had a fab weekend!

Just beat the clock...whew!
Well I didn't miss my deadline - by my clock I have about 6 mins to post this to maintain my 4rth day in a row of posting on this blog and the reason why I am so late is because I just finished a dozen ATC's for tomorrow nights swap at The Scrapbox! Yay!
So mine are done, very happy. Has a definate seasonal theme to it, and next month's ATC night falls on Halloween - yup! So no need to guess what the theme is going to be then eh?
So in other news - got yet MORE boxes in that looked suspiciously like Basic Grey stuff, but had to go home before I could dive into it. Also have a box of Fancy Pants that I've been sitting on trying to get other product up on the wall.
I also now have Scor Mats in Stock! And Scor Pals! Whoooo! Better get em now!
Have a good rest, and see you soon!

Day #2 but I'm not counting - really!
The official week at the Scrapbox is about to begin and I am anticipating another wonderful week of creating and scrapping! I have been concentrating on cleaning up on the special orders list and going over the back orders and trying to figure out why things I ordred ages ago still haven't arrived. I think my distributers heave a great sigh when they see my phone # come up on their call display =)
Oh well - tough for them. Give me mah stuff!
I would like to encourage folks, as I usually do, to go outside their comfort zone in this craft and a great way to do this is to join us this Friday for our ATC Swap - we also have a make n take at 5pm where you can make an ATC for a mere $1 ea. Learn new things! Meet new people! No fee to join us, no sign up required, just show up with a basic kit and an open mind.
ATC Swap at 7pm
ATC Make & Take at 5pm

Updates and a Challenge (for me right now)
Howdy folks!
I've recovered from my bout of the first round of Strep Throat a few weeks ago, but I think it liked me so much it's trying to book a return engagement. Hopefully I'll be smart and take it a bit easier over the next few days but no promises.
It's been awhile since last I updated this blog, and I think I am going to challenge myself to do an blog entry every day for at least one week to see if I can do it. Like I need more challenge in my life but hey - this one is pretty easy all things considered.
Ok - so! I've just updated The Scrapbox website with photos of all the classes that I have photos for, and as I get more in from my Diva's, I will be adding to it. Check it out at http://www.thescrapbox.ca/classes . Sign up either online, at the store, email or calling the store at 613-745-2215.
Going home to get 8 hours of sleep! That is my 'be gentle on yourself' tip for today.
hugs!

New Product that came in this week!
Where to start...
Basic Grey!!!
Eva - elegant and royal with grandoise flourishes in rich burgandies and purples.
Ambrosia - It makes me love orange! (For those of you who know me, know that orange and I aren't friends.)
Offbeat - quirky and eclectic it's the line for you who march to your own drum. Lovely colours with funkky patterns. Makes one think - that are those designers drinking...I mean thinking!!!
BO BUNNY!
Beau Jardin has landed! This beautiful double-sided patterened paper was featured in SCT magazine and was brought to my attention by very enthusiastic clients who loved the swirls that are reflected on the back of the paper in reverse. Hard to describe - gorgeous though. Come on down!
Believe and Holiday Magic - two new Christmas lines from Bo Bunny as well - for all those who want to get a jump on the season cause I'm thinking it's gong to be a busy one. Or for those of us (like me) who want to get caught up on previous years!!!
Glitz Stickles from Ranger!
6 gorgeous new colours designed by Suze Weinburg - the latest designer at Ranger - and they've been going quick!
Scenic Routes Sonoma!
I got the papers in 10 days or so ago, and more of the embellishments are coming next week! Rumor has it that Scrapbox DT Stephanie Pouliot is planning another fab album with this line. Very Exciting!
Canadian Scrapbooker Fall Edition!
I ordered 50 copies, and half are gone. Did I mention I got them in just three days ago? Oi! Lots of great ideas, product and totally Canadian. Come on down and get yours now!
That and more arriving new every week. Get in while the getting is good!
Late night crop tonite until 11pm. There is still a few spaces, and Coffee Crop tomorrow from 9 - 6pm.
Come Play!

I'm Alive! Really....
I've been busy with the store since Tammy is on vacation (she's back in 34 hours, and yeah I'm totally counting down the hours!) and then I went to see my moms with my DD and got back late last night. But that will be the last of the "Jenn-free-time" for awhile so hopefully more updates during the week about yer favorite Scrapbooking Store!
Expecting a shipment of Stickles (the current run of stickles, not the new distressed Stickles of which I ordered every single one) as well as new Felt Fusion from Queen & Co and a bunch of Nestabilities from Spellbinder!
Come on down to check it all out!

I mean - what could be better?

What are ATC's anyways?
I would like to tell you what it is *for me*.
Other resources would be to grab your latest edition of Scrapbook and Cards today and check out the great article on page 22 or just to google 'Artist Trading Card' and see all the great articles that come up.
But - for me ATC's do the following;
- challenges me to create a series of 'variations on a theme' using new (and often scraplifted) ideas from anywhere
- magazines, the internet, customers or shamelessly from the DT team. (I will emphasize I totally give credit where credit is due).
- From a practical viewpoint it`s a great way to use up all the little "bits" that are always left over from any given paper project.
- I love collecting things and this has become one of my favorite collections ever!
- Since I got hooked into it by Anne and Debbie, I get to hook others into it and thereby makes it ok to be obsessed about them =)
And there is lots more too of course, but I won't be able to think about them until after I post this. Best just to come to our ATC Events at The Scrapbox. Visit www.thescrapbox.ca and go to the Classes section to see all that's available and when the ATC events are.
hugs!

Cuttlebug Market Research...
...done by me over the weekend and this is what I found...
There are Cuttlebugs for sale at the Trainyards Walmart – for $67 ea – 2 in stock as of Sunday. Something didn’t look quite right to me so after staring at the box for a few minutes I figured out what it was – the bonus die cut and embossing set wasn’t part of the package!
Let me quickly explain – with the Cuttlebug Set that I provide you get the machine, the plates plus a bonus of a sweet stamp shaped die cut and 4 stamp shaped embossing folders - that so far as I can determine you can only get with this particular Cuttlebug Starter Kit Offer.
So here is the bottom line
Walmart : $67 but no bonus set.
Scrapbox : $90 with bonus set. Oh and then you get to discount 15% because you are a Studio Member which takes it down to $76.45. So the cost difference? The extra die and embossing set is easily worth $10 retail.
The choice, ultimately is yours. I have no idea what Michaels is doing these days with this item – sometimes they honor their 40% off coupon and other times they don’t (This is according to verbal reports given to me by more than 3 different individuals) so good luck with that!
If you want to check out what a Cuttlebug does and how frikkin easy it is to use, come down to The Scrapbox for a free demo!

The choice, ultimately is yours. I have no idea what Michaels is doing these days with this item – sometimes they honor their 40% off coupon and other times they don’t (This is according to verbal reports given to me by more than 3 different individuals) so good luck with that!
If you want to check out what a Cuttlebug does and how frikkin easy it is to use, come down to The Scrapbox for a free demo!

After LONG last - Core'dinations Cardstock has finally sipped out a partial order of their "Black Magic" paper packs AND I GOT MINE!
All of those smart ladies who had asked to have a pack or two set aside for them - it has been done and they are just awaiting your pleasure. I will be making calls over Saturday to personally inform those that special ordered them. I do have some left of each of the four Black Magic Paper Packs - "Hocus Pocus" "Cauldron" "Potion #9" and "Spell Caster"!
These *will not last* ladies. Already I've been told by my distributers that they got a partial order and that means another wait to get more in. If you are at all intersted in getting some, or finding out what this latest 'hot' items is - come down to The Scrapbox tomorrow (Sat July 5) as I am going to be open from 9am to 9pm because I am having my Ultra Pamper Crop also!

Premier Post!
Welcome to the first post! Since I haven't told anyone I'm doing this, you are totally coming across this at random but hey! Glad you are here!
The Scrapbox Studio is my dream taken form - a retreat of scrapbooking utopia, both in product and services. The Studio, where the crops and classes take place is actually bigger than the store (though not by much) for I believe in crafting in comfort. We have facilities to accomodate up to 13 individuals with a kitchenette, microwave, bar fridge coffee maker and water cooler (with hot and cold taps!) so that you can feel right at home away from home. Oh and a powder room of course!
I have shelves full of tools and toys to use including a Cricut Expressions, Original Cricut, Cuttlebug, a light table, stamps and punches and more! The Store front is fully stocked with the latest and prettiest in the realm of scrapbooking - Basic Grey, Little Yellow Bicycle, Imaginisce, Making Memories, Heidi Grace, KI Memories, SEI, Scenic Route are all features up front as well as tools and toys from Ranger, EK Success, Sakura, Tombow. There are so many different venders to represent that I could go on and on! Best just to come on down and visit.
I can be found at:
Address :
5510 Canotek Rd
Unit 13Orleans ON
K1J 9J5

3. At the lights, turn Right onto Shefford Rd. This will take you down the hill to the first lights which will be Canotek Rd.
4. Turn Right on to Canotek and proceed through the first stop sign. At the next street intersection, (which is where Canotek meets itself), please turn left.
5. 5510 Canotek is the last building on your left before the large soccer fields.
Take the last driveway, and drive around near to the back of the building. I have a big sign above my store front. (This building also houses the Gloucester Centre Gymnastics Challengers.(GCGC))
