We're back from CHA!  We just may have ordered more than ever at a trade show, and I think you're going to love what you see.  The new products will start rolling in over the next few weeks, for the most part, and will continue into the months to come.  The paper and embellishment collections were the stars of the show, followed by some cool new tools and ideas.  We can't wait to share it all with you!

By the way, we have a new home for our little old Cricut!  Carol Schanz will be taking in the little machine and giving it a 2nd chance.  Congrats!

Monthly Challenge

Holiday Memories 

Congratulations to Carol Zimnie, who offered us her snowflake inspiration. 

February's ChallengeCreate a page or project using bling!  We're tying this one in with our featured manufacturer...  Inspire us using your favorite bling.  Send a photo or scan of your entry to chris@scrappychiclivonia.com  by 2/18 (please compress/zip or resize large images).  The winner will receive a cool prize for sharing!  Good luck!

Cricut Club Corner

What's Up?

 

This month, at the Cricut Club Crop on Sat 2/11, we're having a Valentine's Party.  Bring a Valentine to swap with your fellow croppers and, just for fun, try your hand at making a mailbox for yours!  This month's cartridge is Animal Kingdom. Bring something you've made using the cartridge or make something while you're there.
 
Be sure to sign up for the quarterly event on February 19th at 1pm, where we'll be making 3D houses.  Bring your Cricut, tool kit (paper cutters, adhesives etc), scoring device and a few pieces of pasteboard.  The houses can also be decorated with patterned paper and embellishments.  If you have an Expression machine you'll want a 12 x 24 mat.  Barb will give a few pointers on 3D construction using your Cricut and will be there to help you with most construction issues.
 
Tip of the month:  If you're having trouble getting a smooth cut, try changing your blade.  Blades should be changed after 8 hours of cutting, but this varies dependent on the type of paper you're working with.
Featured Manufacturer 
Zva Creative

 

Bling is in, and we've got tons from Zva for you to shop!  Zva has so many styles of adhesive rhinestones and pearls, all affordably priced.  Check out our Zva collections throughout the store and in our embellishment section.

 

Enjoy a discount on Zva products with the enclosed coupon through the end of the month.

New Product Update

CHA Goodies and More!

 

While we were away at CHA, we received the new Scrap'n Easel.  So many people have been asking for this product... it's hot!  We have the newest series from Scrapbook Trends - Signature Series, featuring Teresa Collins. We also have the latest collections from Karen Foster... Tons of themes!  3 Bugs in a Rug arrived as well, and we think you'll love the pet line. Moxxie also released several new themes, just in.  We have a few new Cricut cartridges - project cartridges, a new Imagine cartridge...  Giant Flowers and more!  We also have new themed papers from Best Creations, SugarTree and Paper HousePlus, there are several new books in stock from F&W, and some great new magazines, too!  Well, I'm glad we have more room in the store now, because after the deliveries we're getting this month, we're going to need it!
