National Scrapbooking Day!

As you may know Saturday is National Scrapbooking Day!! 

To celebrate we will be offering two FREE Make and Take projects on Saturday here at Crafts Direct and we would love to have you join us as!

Both Make and Take projects will be offered at our Paper Crafts Demo counter. You can join Megan from 10am-12pm to make one of these Decorative Spool Layouts using paper and stickers from the Pebbles Walnut Grove line, paper straws and wooden spools. Use them as a decorative piece as you see them here - or adjust the stickers slightly and add a photo to the layout for the display.

Megan will also be hosting the Make and Take from 1-3pm where you can stop by and make a Photo Mini Book using one of these three Echo Park lines. You can choose between the boy, girl, or For the Record line and leave with a book ready to be filled up with photos! 

 

We hope to see you on Saturday...and hope you all have the best National Scrapbooking Day!

Pebbles: Party line.

Today I have a second blog post to share with you - to show you some of the project ideas we have created using the new Pebbles Party line!

The line comes with four different themes: Mermaid, Super Hero, Rainbow, and Pool - all of which we have in store!! Each line comes with fun coordinating embellishments, stickers, paper bags, etc. We matched a few of these products with pieces we have available in store to create these fun party decorations and supplies!!

Goodie bags: we used the polka dot paper bags and stickers from the Super Hero line.

Cupcake toppers: we punched a scallop circle from a piece of pattern paper, added a layered sticker, attached them to a paper straw and added a piece of twine. This same idea would work with any four of the lines to decorate your cupcakes.

Glass Bottle: For this piece we just wrapped a few coordinating pieces of pattern paper around the bottle and embellished with some layered stickers.

Treat Bags: We filled a treat bag with Sixlets in a coordinating color for our tags. To create the tags we punched a circle from a piece of pattern paper and then added a sticker from the Super Hero line. We then added the tag (and closed the bag) using some blue twine.

Decorated Jars: For these pieces we wrapped twine around the jars and then embellished with a small clothespin and a sticker (you could also add a sticker with a name written in). For the straw decoration we just punched two holes in the stickers and placed the straw through them. We filled them with Sixlets for the display but obviously they would be great filled with a special birthday beverage.
