Urban Scrapbooker Newsletter

Hi There!

CHA
As many of you know I just got back from CHA, the Craft and Hobby Association Trade Show, down in Anaheim. This is the biggest trade show of the year for scrapbooking where the manufacturers debut their new products. It was so much fun and so many things to see.
I found some great new manufacturers for Urban Scrapbooker and I ordered a ton of new stuff that you’re going to love. It’s already starting to arrive, if you can believe that! A lot of the product will be shipping within the next couple weeks, so be on the lookout for some great new items in our store.

Here is the list of manufacturer’s that I ordered from (at least most of them):
-American Crafts
-Jenny Bolin
-Pink Paisley
-Cosmo Cricket
-Little Yellow Bicycle
-Basic Grey
-Inque Botique
-Creative Imaginations
-Dream Street Papers
-Sweetwater
-Making Memories
-Tinkering Ink
-Daisy Bucket
-K & Co.
-GCD
-My Mind’s Eye
-3 Bugs in a Rug

Northwest Paper Chase
The Northwest Paper Chase starts next weekend. It is a 10 day shop hop event with 16 area stores participating from February 29-March 9. You can buy your Passport and Souvenir Pin at Urban Scapbooker if you want to participate.

Some of the benefits:
***Each store is offering a 6x6 make-n-take page for passport holders. We have many of the samples from the different shops on our counter so come in and take a look! The first 15 to purchase their passports from Urban Scrapbooker will also receive a 6x6 cover kit.
***With the passport, you will get 15% off at all participating stores during the shop hop. If you purchase the pin, you will get an extra 5% off for a total of 20% off.
***There are some really great prizes offered for participants. You can check out http://www.northwestpaperchase.com/ for a full listing.

The Passports are $5 before the Northwest Paper Chase starts and $7 after it starts. The Souvenir Pins are an additional $4.

We will be having a carpool sign up sheet for those who might want to share a ride to some of the stores. Let us know if you are interested.

Our New Blog
There is a new Blog for the store. I thought this might be a fun and easy way for me to post some quick info and pictures of things going on at the store and the new products as they start rolling in…

Welcome!

Welcome to the Urban Scrapbooker blog!

This is a new thing we are trying. I thought this would be a quick and easy way for many of our friends and customers to keep up with the day-to-day activities at the store. I am going to try my best to let you know quickly what new products are in the store, what new classes have been scheduled, and what new projects and ideas we have coming up.

I've also given Scrappy permission to post on here, so look out! He's been asking for a way to communicate directly with our customers so here goes nothing...
