Well, those of you who've stopped in this past week noticed some changes at Scrappy Chic... Major changes!  New Crop RoomWe've expanded and moved into the space closest to 8 Mile.  So the next time you drive by, you can wave at the girls in the crop room or get a glimpse of the beautiful new space!  We have two brand new crop rooms and an expanded retail space that allows more room for our products!  We apologize if it takes you a couple trips to learn the new layout of the store, but we think you'll love being able to better see what's in stock.  We'd like to invite you to a Grand Re-Opening Party on Sat 1/7 from 2p-4p.  We'll have refreshments and would be happy to give you a tour!  We still may have some touch-ups we're working on, but it's getting there!

This is our last newsletter of 2011, so Happy Holidays to you and your family!  We wish you a safe and Happy New Year, and hope to see you soon!

New Product Update 

Seasonal Goods & More


We're Carrying a New Line of Markers! Are you a fan of Copic markers, but don't want to shell out the big bucks?  How about those of you who want to learn about coloring with stamping, but don't want to get in too Tropical Traveloguedeep?  We are now carrying the Le Plume series of markers from Uchida.  These are brush-tip, permanent alcohol markers that cost just $2.99 each!  Le Plume markers are a great way to practice and get started with this fun aspect of paper crafting, with about 60 colors in stock. Tropical Travelogue is the latest from Graphic 45, and it's gorgeous (what else did we expect?).  Hero Arts' 2012 stamp release is in stock!  We have them on display when you stop in the store.

Cricut Club Corner

It's New!

 

Welcome Barb Bird as our Cricut Club Coordinator!  Barb has some great ideas for our Club, and we hope you'll join us at our next Club Crop for some Cricut fun!  Among the benefits of the Cricut Club is the free monthly crop.  One of the best things about the Club is sharing ideas during these crops.  We learn a lot through discussion. 
 
Beginning in January, we'll be featuring a Cartridge of the Month!  January's cartridge will be Birthday Bash.  We'll have this on hand for members to share and explore.  You'll even have a chance to enter a drawing for a prize, and we'll choose future cartridges to highlight. 
 
We'll also be offering an Embellishment Swap: Make 3 to 6 inch embellishments and swap with other members.  January's swap cartridge: Snowflake.
 
We're open to ideas for the Cricut Club... Be sure to let Barb know if you have any suggestions or questions while you're at the crop!

See the enclosed coupon in this newsletter for Club Members!
