The real first weekend without the store is coming up this weekend.

Scrapper's Friend Scrapbook Store CLOSING

2008-11-12T12:13:00.000-08:00

Yes, Folks, we are closing. Our last STORE DAY is Sunday, Nov 23. We are open on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Please do stop by and avail of the great discounts. Here's an excerpt of the toughest newsletter we had to write to everyone in our email list:

"...I have to deliver news that I didn’t want to do, but all good things must come to an end and ours, reaching its mark. This is the last month our store, Scrapper’s Friend Scrapbook Store, will be open. Our lease ends on November 30th and our store’s last day will be on Sunday, November 23.

My top and utmost reason in finally throwing in the towel and closing the store is to get back to being healthy for my family. As most of you know, I’m diabetic and it’s been uncontrolled for several years now, worst the last year. I need to face my “monster” in the eye and beat it. I hope by slowing down that I can succeed in doing so. Please pray that I do.

Second reason is for my family. The kids are growing too fast. In fact, Alex is a HS Senior and he will be graduating at the end of the school year. I feel I’m missing out on them to the point where I don’t have enough pictures to play with! LOL!

There have been some of you asking me about the store closure, but have told you that we’re still deciding. The real answer should have been, I was still deciding. While Scrapper’s Friend had long decided to close when the lease is up, I was still undecided and trying to hold on as I was still having a ball with the store and playing with everyone.

I was desperately trying to make it work and looking at the numbers hoping that the store will eventually sustain itself, even tried to look for smaller locations. But with the economy going the way it is (third and final reason), I just can’t without stressing and putting my family’s finances in further jeopardy. But, I’m not giving up and will still continue with a website and attending events.

As most of you know, our store has actually two stores in it; Scrapper’s Friend owned by Estrella and Allen Wolfe, and Scrapbooks Hawaii owned by yours truly. We are going back to our roots, attending events and selling through our websites.

I’d like to thank everyone who supported our store and please avail of the discounts between now until our last store day on Sunday, November 23. We also hope that you continue supporting us and look forward to continue serving you as we go back selling through our websites and events."

Friends, we also still have 12x12 Paper Racks in 30, 12 and 10 slots that are for sale. These are great for home use to sort and organize your papers. We also have some 3 4-panel spinners and slatwall hooks available. These are great for cardmakers and crafters to hang your products occupying a small space during craft fairs and other events.

See you soon at the store!

Draw small flowers using black permanent writer (I used American Craft Slick Writer). Handwrite your title as well, as shown on the layout. Then cut. (NOTE: Careful with the tin foil, it has sharp edges and may cut your hands)
6. Place flowers with brads (as shown) and glue on the tin foil flowers. Optional: handcut flowers using green patterned paper. Instead of handcutting the flowers, you may use any other flower that matches your papers and photos.
7. On the two Prima flowers at the leftside upper-most of the greencardstock, I used the same green patterned papers and mounted it on foam tapes before gluing the small tin foil flowers.
8. Cut strips of patterned paper for your journaling. Adhere title first and then the journaling strips. Doodle around the strips.

Eyelet Contest Winner

2007-11-18T23:39:00.000-08:00

Aloha Ladies,

First, I'd like to thank everyone who came by this weekend to celebrate with us our first birthday! I hope you enjoyed the great discounts and freebies.

I also want to specially thank Brenda, Karen and Melissa who had been at the store for both days --helping us out and yes, shopping, too! LOL! Thank you! :)

If you were there this weekend, I would have asked you to guess how many eyelets there are in this container:

The closest guess will win the container with eyelets. The container has 20 colors of eyelets worth $47.84. Yup, I wouldn't believe it myself if I didn't count them personally. :) Winner wins this container of eyelets and this really cute AMM Red Tote-ally Cool Mini Tote 2.

We had 4 ladies who all guessed the closest and they all guessed 1,200. The total number of eyelets in this little container is 1,202. Since there were 4 ladies with the same guess, we had to break the tie and draw a name from these 4 ladies...and the winner is...SARAH KINSMAN!!!

Sarah, please come on Saturday, November 24 to claim your prizes. CONGRATULATIONS!

Aloha Ladies,

We are featuring another Scrapbooks Hawaii Design Team Member from the Philippines, Donna Espiritu. Donna is one of the many talented bunch of Philippine scrappers we met and made friends with. We're very happy to share with you Donna's layouts together with her instructions to create these beautiful layouts.

Instructions:

1. Cut 8x8 and some flower patterns from DD Morningside paper. To maximize, cut the 8x8 first then the pattern. Distress and ink the edges of the 8x8 paper.
2 . Cut a 2 1/2 strip from the Ottoman paper. Scallop the edges. (for my strip, I traced it from a self-made template).
3. Cut a 4 inches tag from a brown cardstock. Write or printe your journaling on the tag. Stamp with gold ink, the top and edges. Adhere 3 crystals or blings on the top of the tag.
4. For the lace/trims and stitched sequins, prepare 12" of each and a string of little pearls.
5. Corner-round your focal photos and cut one of your photos into an oval shape.
6. Prepare 3 Prima flowers, 1 big and 2 small flowers. Adhere blings/crystal to the 2 smaller flowers. Attach a colored flower on the big Prima.

8. Assembly:
a. Adhere the 8x8 paper on the base cardstock. Then the tag and focal photo on the right side of the layout. The smaller photo on the left side and slightly under the tag. Stamp gold ink on the photo's edge and put 3 crystals or blings for accent (outside edge of the photo)
b. Adhere the floral patterns on the right side, just touching a small portion of the photo, and on the upper left side of the 8x8 paper. (Just adjust the photo below it for balance)
c. Then put the strip of paper just below the 8x8 paper, photos and tag. Arrange the trims, title tag, flowers, clip and pearl strings on the strip. Place a floral pattern just below the tag and on top of the strip.
d. Ink the edges of the base cardstock with gold ink.

(**Circles approx. 1.5 inches, 2.5 inches and 4 inches.) Distress and ink the edges (curl and tear).
** Fold the circle in the middle first creating a half-pie/moon shape. Then fold again and again until it is shaped like a cone (2 folds minimum for the small circle and 3 or more folds the bigger the circle gets). Snip the tips of the folded paper. When you unfold the circle, it should create a flower-like shape. Shape it according to your preference. Distress and ink the edges (curl and tear)
4. Trace scallops on the left side of your base cardstock then cut.
5. Adhere the 8x8 paper on the base cardstock. Stitch around it.
6. Adhere photo. Then the different strips of paper on the lower-right side of the photo and the 8x8 paper. Tuck in a lace/trim below the photo.
7. Place the 2.5inches flower on top of the 4" flower and the smallest flower on top of the mid-sized one. Accentuate with antique brad or charm. Secure two Prima flowers with brads on the far-left side of the paper strips.
8. Place the letters of your title just on top of the photo and on the 8x8 paper. Write "my" (or whatever you like) and an arrow pointing to your photo.
10. Write your journaling.
11. Doodle some more arrows. Around the base cardstock and title.
