Back to School... What does that mean for you?  For our family, it's the first year that both kids will be in school all day.  It's a big change in our house, but hopefully we'll adapt quickly.  For the kids, it's a time to make new friends and learn new things.  For me, I have a 'to do' list I'm working on.  It has more than just things that need to be cleaned or taken care of, but things I want to do.  Some of those things include reclaiming my scrapbooking space and working on my albums a little each week.

Featured Manufacturer
Rachel Bright BirdsSizzix
 
Although Sizzix has been around for some time now, this brand is new to Scrappy Chic.  With the release of the Tim Holtz dies, we began carrying their products.  I must say, I'm impressed!  The ideas on the packaging are great, and they offer high-quality dies and machines.  Plus, these dies and embossing folders work in most manual die-cutting systems, so you can expand your library without buying any new machines!  With all of the new Sizzix dies we just received, I thought it only fitting to feature this brand.

We are offering a deal on Sizzix dies through this month with the coupon below.
