Putting on the (Glitter) Ritz!

On Friday Nov 11 - Skribbles and Scraps is demoing -"Everything you always wanted to know about Glitter Ritz - but were afraid to ask!"


Glitter Ritz is not your ordinary glitter - it is a micro fine glitter that can be used in a number of very cool ways. Skribbles and Scraps has been carrying this for over a year now - and Jennie is still coming up with fresh new ways to use this fun product.


It comes in oodles of colours - 60 in all - (you will want to collect them all!) and makes your cards or scrapbook pages look very elegant.


It is so much fun to use with sookwang tape using both negative or positive images, or copics, or peel and sticks or.....well - why don't you drop into the store on Friday Nov 11 anytime between 11:00 to 2:00 and Jennie will show you just how versatile this stuff is.


Addiction warning! - once you try it - you will be looking for opportunites to use this on everything! So drop in on Friday - it's not too late to add some "Ritz" to your Christmas cards!

It's worth the drive......

I was talking to Jennie last night - she and Cathy and Sherry were in Chatham last Saturday at the annual Zonta Cardmaking Event. 


It was a sold out crowd, and the Skribbles and Scraps gang were there doing a cute little Christmas make 'n take. 72 happy card makers sat around their table and had a chance to shop at the Skribbles and Scraps booth. 


Is this not the cutest little basket? It's a Heartfelt die - made exclusively for Heartfelt by Spellbinders. It has sooooo many possibilities - Christmas, Easter, baby and bridal showers, little thank you treats for teachers, co-workers,  tags for gifts.....

Jennie said it was great to connect again with crafters they met last year - and lots of new faces - many who came from all over southwestern Ontario. 


So - for those who may be thinking - I love the little bit that I saw in the booth - but Skribbles and Scraps is way up in Sarnia - trust me - it's worth the drive to Sarnia!

Skribbles and Scraps or BUST!

So - plan a road trip - load up the car with your most fun girlfriends and head on up the road - life's too short not to make every day an adventure! You won't be disappointed!  


Check out the website for store hours - hope to see you soon!

NO TRICK OUR TREAT!

Skribbles and Scraps has decided to celebrate Halloween this year in a special way. They are usually closed on Mondays - but this Halloween they are open from 11:00 - 7:00 for NO TRICKS OUR TREAT!

Why should kids have all the fun this Halloween????? 


I am sure you crafters have been busy sewing costumes, baking treats for school and Halloween parties, running around getting treats to give out, dealing with the messy pumpkin goo....

It is time to take a break and come in for a treat - really, it's no trick!


There will be free make and takes, goodie bags, and 20% off all purchases over $50 (before HST) It is not too early to do your Christmas shopping you know!

They have lots of cool Halloween paper to frame all those cute pictures you will take of your little goblins. 


There will also be a draw for a goodie basket - one ballot per person - no purchase required.

And hey - if you want it to be really fun - you can dress up too!


See you there!

 Bob and Jennie are going on a road trip!

They are gathering up paper, tools, supplies and all kinds of goodies, getting ready to go to ScrapFest in Oshawa! Check it out here!

They are looking forward to seeing old friends they met at last year's ScrapFest  - and are looking forward to meeting new friends this year. For those of you who follow the blog from the GTA, stop in and introduce yourself! 


Want to see how easy quilling is? Stop by the booth. Wondering what new creation Jennie has been working on? She will be happy to show you. 


If there is something specific you want from the store, call or email Bob or Cathy and let them know so Bob will be sure to pack it so you won't be disappointed. 


ScrapFest happens Friday Oct 14th and Saturday Oct 15th at Durham College in Oshawa. 35 plus vendors in one place - sounds like a party to me!

Someone's having a birthday!

Hi - remember us? 

We're Riley and Chassie, the really cute members of the family. 


We just wanted to let you know we are so excited because - Mom's birthday is Sunday! Yes - our mom, Jennie is going to be.....ahh...well, somewhere between 232 and 800 dog years old! She won't say - humans are so silly that way.


We hope there's cake - and maybe that cute kid Langdan will come over and he and Bob will drop cake on the floor for us!


You know, if humans were as smart as dogs, they would have 8 birthdays a year - think about it - that means 8 birthday cakes!


Anyway - we would love it if you would wish Jennie a happy birthday by clicking on the comment section below.

More of Bob's Storage Solutions

Apparently, Jennie and Bob have had a number of comments about the pictures of Bob's Bow Builder. First - there wasn't a really clear picture of the actual Bob's Bow Builder. So, here it is...

The next thing was how hairy Jennie's knuckles are! So - let me squash the ugly rumours - those are Bob's hairy knuckles! 


I know I said that Jennie put together a tutorial but Bob's hairy knuckles were the star! Jennie was the camera person.  Trust me, Jennie has beautiful girlie hands. LOL!


Bob's Bow Builder retails for $10. Great for those gift exchanges under $10!
