Today we received two HUGE boxes from My Little Yellow Bicycle, with the Frightful collection. It is absolutely the most adorable Halloween collection I have ever seen! WAIT 'til you see this one!!! As a matter of fact, I'm going to call the company tomorrow to see if I can get more of it in, because I know it's going to sell out VERY quickly. There is a gorgeous FLOCKED SPIDER AND WEB paper that is really cool. There are glittered papers and diecut papers. One of the diecut papers has spiderwebs all along the edges, as a border all around. Another one has diecut bats as a border all around the page. There's another diecut page that is a collage of Halloween sayings and words, with little bats and spiders and webs mixed in between them all. The skull image they use throughout the collection is REALLY WICKED!!! It has a cutout flourish in the top of the right side of the skull. I also have matching acrylic cling stamps for this collection, and it does include the skull! If you want to see the collection, go to www.MyLYB.com and click on the Collections, then click on the Frightful icon. I have pretty much the entire collection, except for a couple things that were already backordered! Both chipboard alphabet sets, the transparency frames and images, the charms, the glittered stickers (cardstock and chipboard)... I am using this for the Layout of the Month for those of you who belong to the Club. The Workshop for the LOM is THIS SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 13th. Please check the website calendar for more info.
NEW from KI Memories, SHEER DELIGHTS Small Flowers 1 and Small Flowers 2. These are like nothing you've ever seen before in scrapbooking! They are acid-free and archival safe, and are fairly transparent diecut sheets that are made of a material that is like very, very thin plastic. It is very versatile and can be used for papercrafting as well as home decor. You've probably already seen the ads for it in the current scrapbooking and papercrafting magazines. The ad I've seen uses it as a cone-shaped holder for a bunch of flowers. It is something you just have to see. To see it online, go to www.KIMemories.com and click on the Sheer Delights collection. But I'm warning you, the images online do not really do it justice at all. It's something you have to see in person in order to really appreciate it.
Okay, we also got in a HUGE shipment of new Sugartree papers. For those of you not familiar with this company, they are the ones who do the excellent themed papers. We got in new travel papers with airplanes on them, pandas, black bears (LA has black bears!), an absolutely fantastic chicken and eggs page, mountains, beach scenes, rubber ducky in bathtub with matching tile paper. So much, I really can't list it all. The invoice was two complete pages.
Okay, I'm a little punch drunk. It's been a long, busy day and tomorrow will be the same.
Until next time, happy scrapping!

Post-Gustav News from Scrappersaurus
Greetings, everyone!
I'm happy to report that BOTH stores fared out just fine through Gustav, as did our home and Emery's apartment.
Felix and I are in the Mandeville store today, and the store is open as usual for business. We received nine (9) boxes of new inventory today, so we're pretty busy putting things back together after having packed everything away safely to survive the storm, as well as inputting new inventory and putting that out.
The Metairie store will reopen on Monday, September 8th at 10:00 AM. Emery went to the Metairie store and said the entire parking lot is completely filled up with Breaux Mart customers who are returning and trying to restock their food supply, and who cannot find parking in the Breaux Mart parking lot.
If anyone needs anything in the meanwhile, please call the Mandeville store and we will see how we can get it to you. I know right now the kids are probably stir-crazy and have you climbing the walls, and papercrafting would be a good thing to occupy their time (as well as yours) while waiting for things to return to normal. If you can make it to the Mandeville store, we have some kits available that have everything you need in them, including the adhesive.
Please do e-mail us at Scrappersaurus@Yahoo.com or call us to let us know you are okay. You may think you are just "Customers" to us, but we actually consider each and every one of you "Family", and are concerned about you. Let us know if we can help with anything.
Take care, stay safe, and stay in touch.
Until next time, happy scrapping!

NEW RELEASE: Black Market Paper Society / Ranger/Tim Holtz
Okay, Felix did it again! He's placed beaucoup orders without me even knowing about them! One of them was the newest release of Black Market Paper Society, which has been HOT, HOT, HOT!!! We have not been able to keep it on the shelves for very long, and now the new ones are on the way! We have LOTS of samples using this gorgeous line of papers, layouts and cards, so if you need inspiration, come into the stores and see what our Design Team have cooked up.
Plenty of newly-released products are on the way! OF COURSE all the new Distress Stickles and Crackle Paint, as well as a reorder for the original ones, which we can't seem to keep in stock, either! Apparently, we've hit upon several VERY hot items! Keep checking our website calendar for updates on classes that will be using these new products. Heather, one of our DT members and teachers, already has a 2-part class in the works using the distress products and chipboard. More info will be available when this class description is posted on the calendar.
We have classes scheduled at ScrapFest! by both myself and Heather. Heather will be creating the most adorable paper bag mini book you've ever seen! She will be using the About A Boy collection from Fancy Pants, and it is just absolutely precious! The sample of the book is in Mandeville at the moment. I will be doing a class using the embossing pastes! I will demonstrate use of the paste that I have not taught in any of my classes on it before, and it will include a stencil for you to keep. Which of course, you will definitely want after learning a couple of different, REALLY cool ways to use it!
We are also going to be vendors for a new crop that is coming in October in Hammond. We have flyers for it in both stores, so if you stop by, you can pick up a flyer on it. It will be October 10th and 11th at Immanuel Baptist Church on Pecan Street. Stay tuned for more info on that as the day gets closer. It is called Crop Celebration.
We are now accepting members for our Card of the Month Club and Layout of the Month Club. Each one is $24.99 a month, and if you cannot make it to the workshop where we put them together, we can either hold your kit for your, or mail your kit Priority to you for $29.99. The Card Club will include one new stamp and one new inkpad every month, along with at least 3 (three) different card designs made using that one stamp. Of course, the paper and anything else the cards are made with will be included. Everything, that is, except the adhesive to hold it all together! This way you can build up your collection of stamps and inks, at a very affordable price, and learn new techniques and have fun along the way. The Layout Club will be a double-page layout designed by one of our wonderful Design Team members, using the newest product in. It will include all the product that goes into making the layout, and of course you will have a bunch of stuff left over, like embellishments or ribbon, that you could use for another layout or cards. This way you can keep up with the Joneses on the new products, and have fabulously designed pages to preserve and showcase your memories. Oh, yeah, and don't forget the fun you'll have playing with all the new stuff as it comes out, and the new techniques we will present with the new layouts.
We also have a new series of layouts coming up that will compose a "Book of Me" by Heather L., one of our DT Members. It is not only a layout class on a specific theme, but it will also be a different "techniques class" with each topic. Stay tuned for the exact schedule to be posted, either here or on the website calendar, within the next few days. If you want to check out what sort of style Heather has, go to our website and look her up under the Design Team section. You will see a link to her blog, and she puts up pics or scans of her latest creations.
Melissa F. will be in charge of the Card Club, and if you want to check out some of her designs, go to our website and look her up under the Design Team section. You will see a link to her blog where she presents her latest and greatest creations. She also does other papercrafting, and is working on a REALLY neat minibook right now. More info when that's finished and the date is scheduled.
Metairie's crops have been phenomenal, and this Friday we have 13 1/2 people scheduled for the crop! Uh, don't ask about the 1/2 cropper--I'm just going on the numbers Emery gave me for how many croppers we have! We are beginning to do mini-workshops on Friday nights during the crop since some of the regulars have convinced me that they absolutely HAVE to start learning some new stuff. Uh huh. Right! I've SEEN y'all's pages, and they are GREAT, but whatever! So this Friday I will teach how to use even your smallest, narrowest scraps of paper that you probably wouldn't have otherwise thought of keeping. Recycle, reuse, repurpose... it's all about going green at Scrappersaurus!
Well, I've got a Basic Scrapbooking class Thursday night (8/7/08) in Mandeville. I do have several people already signed up, but if you'd like to join us, please call ASAP as I'll be cutting down the kits as soon as I get in the store in the morning.
Also, I've got plenty of other classes scheduled, taught by myself, Melissa F., and Heather L., and I hope to add to that shortly. I'm in the process of interviewing another teacher and waiting on her finished project to schedule a class for her.
We are now going to be doing DAY CLASSES whenever possible, due to high demand. Lots of people don't want to drive at night, and a lot of people come to the stores from far away, like Avondale, Belle Chasse, Destrehan, LaPlace, Norco, Houma, Hammond, Pearl River, etc. Thank you, scrampers for making the trek! (BTW, a "scramper" is a scrapbooker/stamper!). We truly appreciate your business, and enjoy your company!
Until next time,
Happy Scrapping and Stamping!

Vita Bella / Crafter's Workshop / Reminisce / Creative Imaginations / ProvoCraft
http://www.mylyb.com/vita_bella
The new VITA BELLA collection from My Little Yellow Bicycle is IN!!! And guess what...? We have it ALL!!! The ENTIRE collection, with ALL the embellies that go with it!!!
http://www.thecraftersworkshop.com/
New Alphabet Doodle templates by Crafter's Workshop are IN!!! Sporty Letters, Basic Letters, Rachel's Letters, Marquee Letters, SchoolDays Letters, and Alphadoodles!!!
We also got Softball paper, embellies, and rub-ons from Reminisce! Swim Team paper and embellies from Creative Imaginations! ProvoCraft Vinyl for the Cricut in LOTS of colors, and the Transfer Tape! WooHoo!!!
Scrap-N-On the River was MOST EXCELLENT!!! We had a BLAST!!! And it was so much fun having a table of some of our favorite scrappers and two of our Design Team members right in front of our booth! We saw so many old friends, and made LOTS of new ones! We were so busy that I didn't get a chance to scrap at all for myself. I did demonstrations of the Embossing Paste with brass stencils, and sold tons of it! I actually ended up selling my class supplies because people didn't want to wait for it to come in, in my next order, after I had run out of stock! Wow! Due to the overwhelming response at this last crop, I will be doing a 2-hour class at ScrapFest! with these pastes, and show you how you can make cards and embellishments and lots of other great things with these pastes. Be sure to sign up for it early!
Natchez was so beautiful, and the people were so nice. The new hotel was fantastic, and Felix and I both agreed it was definitely a place we'd like to go back and visit as a vacation spot. So calm and peaceful....ahhhh....
Guess what Felix ordered already for the Cricut? Shhhhhh.... don't tell, or everybody will want one...! It's the GoBe, which is a portable Cricut battery pack that is rechargeable and lasts 4-6 hours! Whoa! Lookout! I see a wave of Cricuts lined up on our crop tables pretty soon! He also ordered the Cricut Deep Cut Blade and Housing which is supposed to be a replacement for the conventional blades that cuts deeper and is much stronger. It is meant to go through chipboard and wood veneers, magnet sheets, vinyl, and much more, with ease. And it also works with the Stamp Kit, which allows you to cut and create custom stamps from any Cricut design! Of course, he HAD to order that, too! We'll keep you updated on it's arrival!
Okay, before I sign off, I want to remind you all that Scrappersaurus is now having monthly Card Workshops that are for stampers AND non-stampers! So EVERYBODY gets to make great cards! And, we also now have a monthly layout club which will include the latest and greatest product used to make a 2-page layout. Watch the calendar for the dates of these Workshops!

Monthly Card Workshops Begin in August!!!
We had a most excellent time with our Stamping/Card workshop this week in Mandeville, taught by Melissa F. Someone brought some wine, there were chips and dip, most delicious brownies, and we had all sorts of fun! We created 4 cards, and Melissa demonstrated different uses for the same stamp. A lot of people think you can only do one thing with a stamp, but stamps are so versatile and there are so many creations you can come up with, with only one stamp!
Beginning in August, we will have a monthly card workshop demonstrating different techniques, and creating different cards. Stay tuned and keep checking the website calendar for the dates. We will still be having the Basic Stamping classes, in addition to these card workshops, so if you're unsure of your stamping and card-making skills but want to come to the workshops, sign up for the Basic Stamping class. I will show you how to stamp properly and get a great, crisp impression EVERY time you stamp, as well as teach you about the different uses for all 5 different types of inks (makes a BIG difference!), and the proper care of your stamps so they will last a long time.
Tonight we will be at Pelican Park, and Melissa F. will be hosting a workshop in which you create a single page layout, and it is superb! Actually, Felix designed it, and I LOVE it because you can turn it sideways and upside down and the page will still work, in any orientation! It begins at 6:00 PM.
Every Friday, beginning tonight through September 19th, we will be having a workshop at Pelican Park. You can find out more about their crop on their webite, www.PelicanPark.com. We will have a limited amount of supplies available for purchase at the beginning of each of the crops.
We are very excited about our upcoming attendance at the Natchez Scrap-N On The River next week!!! We have been getting phone calls and e-mails every day from people who will be attending, making requests for products they would like us to bring. If you have a special request, please call or e-mail ASAP so we can make sure to have it in, in time to bring with us.
Until next time, happy scrapping!

Day Classes; Fancy Pants, Glitz, Prima Just In!!!
New orders this week include the Fancy Pants About A Boy collection, with matching rubons and transparencies. We also got lots of the Glitz 12" Frosting and a good variety of colors of the swirl arrow bling. Beautiful! Prima sent the Say It In Crystals and Say It In Studs. We have the Flower Centers in Black/Clear, Red/Pink/Lavender, Yellow/Gold/Brown, Pets, and Beach. The studs include a HUGE Fleur de Lis, and we have them in 5 different colors. We also have a Christmas Say It In Crystals set that is multicolored and so pretty. I can't wait to use these!
We also received the rest of the Baby 2 Bride and Times Nouveau papers that the company had left off our order. We were very pleased that they shipped it so quickly once we let them know they weren't in the shipment we initially received. These papers are selling FAST, and we only have a couple left of a few of the designs in the Times Nouveau collection.
We are expecting another Dreamweaver Stencils order to arrive any day now, with more fleur de lis stencils and embossing paste, along with other stencils. These products are flying out the door as fast as we put them out. The second class is already scheduled and on the calendar for June, and we will be creating cards using the shadowing technique and the piggyback technique. These are featured in the Dimensions in Cardmaking book that we are selling along with the rest of this company's products. But, of course, we will be using different stencils and making a different project from what is in the book. I think you'll love it! Sign up now, because these classes fill quickly. If you missed the first Embossing Paste class, I will be repeating it on Tuesday May 27th in Metairie at 6:00 PM. You have to call Emery to reserve your spot and prepay. You do NOT have to take the first Embossing Paste class in order to be able to take the second one, however, you would be missing out on really fun projects and different techniques if you do not attend the first one!
As always, if there is a product or technique that you wish to learn more about, please contact us to let us know and we can either try to put together a class with it or work one-on-one with you to help you, usually at no extra charge from what a class fee would be. We will do this in both stores. All you have to do is ASK!!!
I have had several people from Mississippi and the Pearl River area request that I do some day classes because they do not like driving so far to get home at night after the classes. If you are interested in DAY CLASSES, PLEASE e-mail me at scrappersaurus@yahoo.com to let me know which techniques or classes you are interested in and I will try to get some scheduled. These would have to be done on a Monday or Tuesday. Please send me some feedback on this, scrappers. I need to know what YOU want and need! Thanks!
We still have a couple openings in both stores for the Friday and Saturday night crops, so give us a call to reserve your spot if you'd like to come. If you bring someone new to scrapbooking to crop with you this weekend, you will BOTH receive 15% off your entire tab that night!!!
Until next time, happy scrapping!

We also received the rest of the Baby 2 Bride and Times Nouveau papers that the company had left off our order. We were very pleased that they shipped it so quickly once we let them know they weren't in the shipment we initially received. These papers are selling FAST, and we only have a couple left of a few of the designs in the Times Nouveau collection.
We are expecting another Dreamweaver Stencils order to arrive any day now, with more fleur de lis stencils and embossing paste, along with other stencils. These products are flying out the door as fast as we put them out. The second class is already scheduled and on the calendar for June, and we will be creating cards using the shadowing technique and the piggyback technique. These are featured in the Dimensions in Cardmaking book that we are selling along with the rest of this company's products. But, of course, we will be using different stencils and making a different project from what is in the book. I think you'll love it! Sign up now, because these classes fill quickly. If you missed the first Embossing Paste class, I will be repeating it on Tuesday May 27th in Metairie at 6:00 PM. You have to call Emery to reserve your spot and prepay. You do NOT have to take the first Embossing Paste class in order to be able to take the second one, however, you would be missing out on really fun projects and different techniques if you do not attend the first one!
As always, if there is a product or technique that you wish to learn more about, please contact us to let us know and we can either try to put together a class with it or work one-on-one with you to help you, usually at no extra charge from what a class fee would be. We will do this in both stores. All you have to do is ASK!!!

Graphic 45, DCWV, Marvy Uchida, Stampendous, Heritage Handcrafts, and More! DOUBLE STAMP DAY
We received the new Graphic 45 Papers. Of course, we got both complete collections, Times Nouveau and Baby 2 Bride. Check out their website to see what they look like by clicking the link above. These are gorgeous, double-sided, heavy cardstock-weight papers. We got them yesterday evening and people are scooping them up when they see them! Felix even made a sample layout, which is on display above the collection in the Mandeville store. It's beautiful!!!
Karen Foster's Father collection is in, papers and embellishments, just in time to make your Father's Day cards and to get in preparation for your layouts for your Father's Day pictures.
We also have the Karen Foster Outdoor Fun collection, with papers and embellishments. One of these papers is an adorable page with large ladybugs and a butterfly on it. So cute!
The Stampendous clear pails are in, in the quart and gallon sizes. Look for a class to be scheduled with these soon, even a kids' class!
The NEW Dot-n-Go Glue Dots dispensers are in!!! This was a Top Pick product at the CHA show recently. Glue Dots are wonderful for adhering embellishments, especially the heavier and bulkier ones, but can be annoying sometimes to try to get them onto your project without having to pick them off with your fingers. The problem with picking them off with your fingers is that the oils in your skin neutralizes the adhesive in the dots, and they end up not sticking as well as they should. Now, with this easy-to-use dispenser, you don't have to worry about that at all! And, they are priced just right so you can stick to your papercrafting budget!
Tim Holtz Grungeboard: Swirls and Harlequin, and Digits and Punctuation has also arrived, along with VersaFine inkpads and Big and Juicy inkpads. Re-stock of the StazOn Opaque Cotton White inkpad and re-inkers.
I found a NEW embossing paste and brass stencil company: Heritage Handcrafts. They call their paste "dimensional paints", but they are essentially the same. However, Paula, of Heritage Handcrafts, told me that these dimensional paints can be heated with a heat gun and the colors will stay irridescent and they become washable and stretchable, so you can use them on T-shirts!!! Isn't that fabulous?! I foresee a T-shirt class coming up soon!!! PLUS, they have these most excellent 4" round and 4"x4" Fleur de Lis stencils, and another large Fleur de Lis stencil that looks nothing like what we've had before. I'm working on having Felix put these on the website store. The 4"x4" square one is titled Fleur de Lis Tile, and I think would be fantastic on a tile as a coaster.
Felix placed an order for the NEW Marvy Uchida 3.5" Giga punches, which will be released in June. When I asked him which ones he got, he simply told me "All of them!" So, I'm pretty excited to get them, and I'm sure you will be too. It's hard to find a way to get larger shapes without using a Cricut or one of the other manual die-cutting machines. So much other stuff to buy, just to get the size shapes you need. Now you just buy the punch! Lots less to store or carry around.
Oh! I almost forgot--today we received the new Die Cuts With a View Nursery and Dog and Cat collections!!! These papers are heavy, cardstock-weight and most of them have glitter on them. The Nursery collection has a separate Boy and Girl sub-collection. One of the Nursery papers is a clothesline with tiny baby clothes hanging on it...TOO CUTE!!! The colors of the Nursery collection are, of course, pink and blue, but also purple, and these are in the lighter, more pastel shades. The Dog and Cat collections have all sorts of papers, lots of them with glitter, too, and there's one that's just glittered dog bones! There are also stripes, dots, and diagonals in all of these collections that will work for really ANY theme, if they match what you are working with. The stripes, dots and diagonals would make really nice cards, too, I think.
Well, I'm sure I'm forgetting something, so just stop by and check things out. Remember, Thursday, May 15, 2008 is DOUBLE STAMP day at both stores, so be sure to come by and stock up on the new stuff and receive DOUBLE STAMPS for it all!
Until next time, happy scrapping!
