Our order of Unity Stamps have arrived! We were so excited to find this new company at CHA-W and have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of their stamps. Here are some snapshots of the ones we got in. To refresh everyone’s memory on the concept of this great new stamp line, her is our post from CHA. http://thescrapbookoasis.typepad.com/lss/2008/02/unity-stamps.html They’ve only been in to store for the afternoon and they are already getting a lot of attention.
We also got in 3 more sets of Hambly rub-ons. Antique Frames, Mini Vintage and Silhouettes which are fun and funky vintage home décor items. All the rub-ons come in a verity of colors.
Special Announcement –
Suzie’s class had such an overwhelming response she will be teaching it twice! This is only the second time in the history of the Oasis that something like this has happened, and guess what? Last time it was for one of Suzy’s classes too! Her second class will be on Friday, June 6, 2008 from 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm. Everyone who is on the waiting list will be added to the new class which only leaves a few spots left for her second class. You can view pictures of the album under our Upcoming Classes in the side bar. If you’d like to check it out in person, we have the album here in the store for you.
We are so lucky to have Suzy Plantamura coming back to teach on Saturday, May 31st at 6:00 pm. Suzy Plantamura has been creating scrapbooks of one sort or another since she was in grade school. She has always loved creating art and collecting photos and memorabilia, so when she became a stay at home mom eight years ago, scrapbooking became her passion. Suzy designs projects and pages for Maya Road, KI Love, Elsie and MAMBI. She was named a Memory Makers Master in 2006, HOF winner in 2008 and has been a contributor to many of their books and magazines. She lives in Southern California with her three children and husband and loves to spend time at the beach.
Class Description:
This is a summer album that is 8x8 in size and has five chipboard pages and four sheer plastic pages, all covered on both sides. All papers will be precut and are by Fancy Pants (About A Boy line), Scenic Route (Grafton line), Prima and Love, Elsie. You will receive approximately $72.00 in retail product with the class kit. The fun thing about this class is you can make it whatever you’d like. A trip to Disneyland the beach, you name it. You can easily customize it to make it uniquely yours. Suzy gives you the flexibility to easily adapt this album because she is including a full box of Maya Road chipboard letters as well as paint and ink to cover them in class. You will be learning new techniques to cover chipboard, so come prepared to get messy! There will be detailed directions with color photos of each completed page. The album contains 35 photos if you make it just as I did and most are standard 4x6 shots. There are many hidden pockets and tags to allow you to add journaling as well as additional smaller photos. There is a large pocket for you to add in any memorabilia you may want. You should leave with your album complete ready to add photos if you don’t bring them with you to class already.
We are now taking reservations!
The date is Saturday, May 31st 6-10 pm, and the class fee is $58.00
We've just received 3 great products to share with you.
From KI, we received two new lines. We are so excited to have the two
new releases from "Love Elsie" in the store. Daisy and Forrest have
arrived and both are adorable. "Daisy" is Elsie's dog line, but since
she used such great colors it is easy to use it for non-dog pages too.
The same holds true for her new Forrest line. It contains the perfect
embellishments for all your hiking or camping trips, but the colors are
so universal you can use the paper and rub-ons for just about anything.
Along with Elsie's new lines we also got in KI's "La Di Dah" collection.
This new line contains buttons, rub-ons, stickers, journal books, trim
and more. The line is fresh and new with slight vintage flair to it.
The next new line we got in is from Rouge De Garance. Some of you may
remember this was the new company from France a few years ago. Well,
they are now under the Sanylion umbrella and the exciting part is that
their line still as all the wonderful colors we love. This release is
Urbine, and has a retro, summer vibe to it, mixed with an urban energy.
I know, sounds like an interesting combination, but it is pulled off
perfectly with the rub-ons and stickers they have to go with the papers.
You can check out their website for some design inspiration.
Our final delivery was from Sassafras Lass and it's the cute, new "In a
Stitch" Blossoms everyone has been waiting for. These are ready to go
since a pop dot has already been added for you.
So there you are - new product and new inspiration... For all you
shoppers and croppers, we will be open late tonight, so stop on by even
if it's just to say "hello".
The day started off with a pile of goodies for everyone, bagels, doughnuts and fresh brewed coffee. It was the perfect way to start a long day of cropping. We took a short break for lunch from Flame Broiler, which gave us the fuel we needed to continue on. After lunch we had even more giveaways and another 12 x 12 page kit was given to everyone!
We had a special event within our event going on that day which turned out to be a lot of fun. We had the honor of having a bridal shower at the store during NSD! What a fun idea. Raquel is getting married and wanted to celebrate her day with us. Thank you Raquel and congratulations! It was a blast sharing that with you and your friends.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for this great day. There were lots of familiar faces and we had a good time with everyone. We even had a few people stop by just to say ‘hi’ to us. Stephanie Ackerman was one of them and she brought the yummiest chocolate chip cookies with her. Thank you Stephanie!
Cropping with us that day was Cheryl Waters from Fiskars. Cheryl outdid herself with give aways for the store. She came in with two huge baskets of prizes and scissors for everyone cropping. Wow! So sweet Cheryl!
After dinner as an additional surprise, Jamie Harper came in and taught a mini class for us. It was such a cute little project and it was fun to see some people finishing the project complete with pictures. Wow! Jamie was such a wonderful person. She had photo shoots all day long, but still had the energy to come up and teach the class. Wet sandy pants and all! What a trooper!
The final surprise of the day was a mini album designed exclusively for us by Christine Middlecamp! It is just adorable and the color combination is amazing. Thank, thank, thank you Christine! What an amazing treat! We know that there are a lot of you who want a kit and we will have them for sale in just a few weeks.
On a final note, all of us here at the Oasis would like to thank all of you who joined us this weekend. You were all a wonderful crowd and made the long day so fun and enjoyable! We're already looking forward to next year..!
We have been so busy these last few days getting ready for NSD that it was a welcome surprise to see the newest addition to the Making Memories Noteworthy collection; Addie and Delaney, come through the door today. This release of Noteworthy contains all the same great embellishments of the Noteworthy release last Fall. Glittered alphas, beautiful trims and glittered die cut paper. Their glittered box collections come in a reusable storage box with self-adhesive clear or chipboard shapes.
What’s new to this release are these great new chipboard albums that mimic their die cut papers. Aren’t they just too cute!? 
We also got in this great new book from Making Memories. These are just two pictures from the book to give you a sneak peek at all the cute ideas inside it.
We got some pretty Remarks stickers in today from American Crafts. I love the pretty flowers and that they come in a variety of colors. And who can't use date labels, seems you can never have enough of those!
Lisa Bearnson's new book, 50 Moments: Scrapbooking the Pages that Matter Most, arrived. It has over 164 pages on getting the really important stuff in our albums. And since Mondays always seem to come way too fast, tips on prioritizing seem perfectly welcome today. Hope you all have a great week!
Here is the 1 picture we snapped on Wednesday night celebrating Suzy's Hall of Fame win. We had so much fun socializing and enjoying each other's company. Thank you to everyone who came by to help us celebrate.
We got in some new papers and embellishments from Kimberly Polson. There is something so pretty about the colors of this line, it is subtle but with a splash of burnt orange.
Some really cute acrylic stamps from Sassafras Lass arrived. I love the whimsical characters like the popsical and the cute owls.
We also received a variety of pretty flowers in. There are felt flowers in a variety of colors as flowers that come with "bling" centers, a page can always use a bit of bling!
Lastly, from Maya Road we received some chipboard flower petals, heart chipboard key chains, and a sheer purse album.
We are open late tonight and tomorrow so come join us for some cropping.
