Each month’s projects are change-able with velcro dots and can be used for many years with new calendar pages. You don't have to commit to all twelve classes, just call us if you are interested in that month’s class...we'd be happy to have you! The basics we ask you to bring to class are: scissors, wet & dry adhesive, foam dots & sticky dots. Tuesday, December 8th at 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM Tuesday, January 26th at 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM

Crop Room Guidelines

We very much enjoy being able to offer such a fantastic work space for all our customers and we hope that you enjoy the advantages we offer you. Please help us be able to continue offering these services by cooperating with the guidelines mentioned below. Thank you for helping us maintain a stress free and fun, place to be!

When there is a scheduled class or crop only registered participants are allowed to be in the workshop area. Please refrain from entering the area until the class is completely over. It is distracting to both the teacher and the paid students to have other people in the workshop area during classes. This means you cannot crop, layout photos or set up your gear during class time. Please wait until after the class has been dismissed to enter the workshop area.

Non BPC Cropper Members coming to crop during open table time will pay $2.00 an hour for Table Time.

Any person occupying a seat at a crop or class must pay for that crop or class. There is no such thing as a “guest” at a crop or class who does not have to pay. If one exception is made, others would expect them and then there would be mass confusion and we would have too many people in the crop area, making it uncomfortable for everyone else that is paying to be there.

On Friday nights open crop time will end at 6:00 PM so that the staff has time to prepare the workshop for the Midnighter Crop.

Karen’s Korner December is always the busiest shopping season; everyone is out looking for the best gift for their loved ones. Our store has always been the place to go to treat yourself, but now with our new fashion accessories, it is the perfect place to buy your holiday gifts to! We recently received new leopard fashion scarfs in 3 different colors that are perfect for your animal print loving family member. We also now have knitted head wraps and gloves that will warm up those ears and fingers on those cold winter days. Every girl loves a great pair of furry boots, but they are always way too expensive. Our store now carries leg warms that give the illusion of a fur lined boot, how awesome is that? Last but not least, our newest item is an infinity scarf with a hat attached, that's right,

they're attached! This cozy combination takes away the need to find a matching hat and scarf. All of these winter friendly accessories would be the perfect gift for any girl in your family!

Tammy’s Techniques Petaloo Flowers has just sent us a beautiful selection of flowers called Sugared Blooms. They come in a variety of colors and sizes and I'm totally in love with them! Each flower has clear chunky glittery bits that shimmer in the light...oh so lovely! There are beautiful Victorian blooms called Vintage Velvet's and such a pretty line of holiday picks. Don’t wait to come in and buy them; they're going fast!

Raelene’s Ravings My Minds Eye never disappoints! I love MME’s new line Christmas On Market Street. It is a very contemporary, yet traditional in design. This nine paper line is very bold and vibrant in color. It showcases traditional red with various shades of green and lots of gold! Gold foil and gold glitter! So festive! This line is so versatile and can be used for home decor, wall art, traditional or pocket scrapbooking, and even

includes a twelve card set with four designs. Along with the paper are chipboard sets, enamel dots, stickers and washi tape- all coordinate perfectly so creating your paper projects will be very easy. The hardest part will be deciding which project to make first! Happy Holidays and Happy Stamping!

Kathie’s Karousel The Silhouette Mint is here! What is the Silhouette Mint? It is the newest addition to the Silhouette family. The Mint is the most innovative and powerful custom stamping system on earth. The machine’s special “thermal printing” ability lets you create 3D reliefs of custom designs on Mint stamp sheets. Then you simply apply Mint inks to your stamp and you are ready to roll. You can stamp up to 50 times before reapplying more Mint ink. I tested out the Mint this week and made a return address stamp for the store. I have to say I am very impressed with this neat little machine. It was incredibly easy to use. There are so many creative options within the software. You can turn text into a stamp using any font from your computer. You can create your own design from within the software or import any image into Mint Studio to create a custom stamp. The Mint software can also turn a photo into an amazingly detailed stamp. There are also thousands of images available through the Silhouette Design Store. Included with the Silhouette Mint you get, a 15 X 60mm stamp kit, a 30X30mm stamp kit, 4 ink bottles in black, red, blue and yellow, 50 exclusive stamp designs, a power cord, a USB cord, Software installation CD and a Quick Start Guide. I set up the machine, downloaded the software and minutes later I was working in the Mint software creating our new stamp. You’ll be able to make 2 stamps with the materials included in the box. When you’re ready to create more stamps we have all you’ll need. We have 5 different stamp sizes available and we also have the inks needed in black, purple, blue, ash blue, green, yellow, red, magenta, ash pink and brown. When I inked up my finished stamp I was surprised how little ink was needed. The stamped image was very clear and even. I am quite impressed with this system and I’m already thinking of lots of other ways to use it.

Ann’s Answers As a new member of the Scrapbook Super Station family, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Ann, I am retired and have been scrapbooking at Scrapbook Super Station ever since they opened their first store at Clearview Mall over 17 years ago. Besides scrapbooking, I love camping, home decorating, being with my grandchildren as they grow and hanging out with my friends. I have made it my goal to scrapbook my grandchildren's lives and the many travels my husband Jack and I have been blessed to take. I am looking forward to working with our wonderful staff and meeting all of you, our customers.
