New Collab for the New Year!

I wanted to give you a little sneak peek at something new that’s coming to the shop this Thursday! Are you ready for a little taste of Spring? Here’s a first look at a beautiful new collab I made with a superstar friend of mine:

Any guesses as to who this talented designer might be? If you can’t guess, I might just make you wait until 2009 to find out! Hee hee hee… (but, hey—that’s only two days away! I’m not really that mean!).

Happy scrapping!

Speaking of the December Grab Bag, the bag will soon be unpacked and the contents reveled! Wednesday will be your last chance to pick up the grab bag for only $3.00! On Thursday all the items from the bag will be placed in the store separately. Be sure to stop by the blog here on Wednesday for a peek at the contents of the bag if you’re still curious about what’s inside!

Until then, happy scrapping!

Congrats to our new Guests!

December 21, 2008 | Filed Under Blog News | 13 Comments 

I’m happy to announce the new guests that will be joining us on the Sugarplum Paperie creative team for the next three months! First, let me say that it was SUCH a hard decision, wading through all the applications. I was so happy to see so many people apply! And I hated to say no to anyone… so much so that instead of taking on just two guests for the next three months, I’m taking on five each month! It’s so hard to say no…

So, on to the announcement! Here is the list of scrappers who will be joining us in the next few months:

January:

Tracie ~ psalm149
Raji ~ rsk
Kel ~ kel_doll
Diana ~ todido
Courtney ~ luckyblues

February:

Christine ~ alamama
Dawn ~ winkasheart
Kiki ~ Kiki Scraps
Christy ~ AquaRuby
Jen ~ jencushing/jen04

March:

Brenda ~ kalesmom4ever
Karen ~ kenziescraps
Sory ~ soryr05
Elaine ~ ehooton
Melissa ~ melwilson/melodrama

And on top of this, there was a list of people who I couldn’t help but e-mail and ask if they’d like to join the creative team full time. Please also join me in welcoming:

Niki ~ bexy
Amy ~ amymom 24
Jenny ~ jleigh76
Julie ~ milkcan

It will take me a while, but I plan to write a note back to everyone who applied. Thank you all so much for wanting to be a part of my creative team!

Well, tomorrow will be our Christmas Morning here at home, then we’ll be heading back to Pennsylvania to spend time with the family! I’ll be off-line for a while, so until next time I wish you Happy Holidays and Happy Scrapping, too!
