Scrapfest was a blast!

Well - I finally caught up with Jennie and Bob to see how their latest adventure went - and it was a blast!

To start - I had no idea how much work was involved to take the show on the road! Jennie, Bob and Cathy packed for a couple of days to make sure there was a good selection of stock. Sherry went up as well on the Thursday and helped pack and load everything into the trailer  - and then the gang jumped into the car and off they went to Kitchener to set up. Apparently it was lots of fun and laughs along the way - ask Bob about Onroute - and see if he knows what it is now!

The group sure does travel well together - Sherry and Cathy hit the seat warmer button in synch, everyone teases Bob about his driving, Jennie is the main co-pilot, but Cathy and Sherry are the back seat drivers, and Bob just takes it in stride - never gets mad, maybe he just tunes them out???

Anyway, after a couple of hours unpacking and setting everything up, it was back to Sarnia for the night, making a mental note of the things they needed to bring the next day.

Friday morning they were on the road again, with more rearranging and set up, checking into the hotel and then back to the Aud to get ready for the doors to open.

Check out the pictures of the booth below.

Bob and Jennie - I think Jennie is giving Bob directions here.

Cathy - always knew where they put things!

Jess and Braedan on checkout.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hi, shop and do Make and Takes - you made the two days even more fun!

Stay tuned for more on the Scrapfest weekend. There were more adventures to tell!

On the Road Again......

Well - the Skribbles and Scraps gang will be hitting the road again this weekend. Bob, Jennie, Cathy and Sherry will be headed to Scrapfest in Kitchener on Friday. It is always such a great time! If you have never been - it should be on your must-do list. Check out the link. Scrapfest Kitchener 2012

If you don't have a ticket for Friday night - you're out of luck - it's sold out. But don't worry - Saturday is wide open and tickets are available at the door. 


Bob and Jennie love seeing friends come back year after year - and they love meeting new friends! So - if you've been following the blog over the last year - come by and meet the gang in person! 


Jennie always has some great make and takes prepared - and there is always a long lineup at their booth for both the make and takes (trust me, I know - I have been in it!) and for purchases  because of their great prices. But it's always worth the wait! They will have the latest products from the store and are always happy to give you ideas on how to use them.


Will we see you there? Hope so!


(Please note, the open crop for this Friday is cancelled because - hey - we're on the road again! 

Bob the Builder!

Well - we're going to have to give Bob a new nickname - I am thinking "Bob the Builder"


Cathy sent me some pics of the punch rack he made for her - WOW WOW WOW!


In case you didn't know, Cathy has a hard time passing up a punch - she loves them! Storage however, is a problem when you love punches - so Bob came up with a solution. And it's on wheels too! Too cool!


Check out the pics:

Cleaver use of storage  - both sides, and the inside as well! Bob - you never cease to amaze me! I am guessing Skribbles and Scraps will get a few orders from others like Cathy who have just a few punches lying around!

What a day!

Well, I finally got a chance to touch base with Jennie about her wild weekend doing two shows the same day on March 24th. 


The verdict - It was a blast! 


Bob and Cathy went to Arkona with the scrapbooking crowd, and Jennie and Sherry were in Chatham for the card making day at St Clair College. The 4 of them set up Arkona the evening before, and Jennie and Sherry set up Chatham early that morning. 


It was a lot of work to pack up on Friday  - especially since stock was going to 2 separate places. And if that wasn't enough - Jennie and staff prepared a different make and take for each venue! Crazy I know!


The make and takes were FABULOUS - thanks so much for your feedback to the all the girls and Bob. It made all that hard work worthwhile. They love teaching you how to use new products - and I hear Inka Gold was a hit!


Thanks again to all who came out and supported Skribbles and Scraps - you're the best!

"On the road again...."

Skribbles and Scraps is on the road again!


On Saturday March 24th, they are doing the next to impossible - being in 2 places at once! (Well, really 3 if you count being in the store as well!)

Both are wildly popular events - so don't miss this opportunity to come out for a fun day of paper crafting, and do some shopping at the same time. That's my kind of fun!

I heard a rumour that Skribbles and Scraps was expecting some of the great new products from CHA this week. I will connect with them and have the scoop for you next week! 

Have a great day!

They're here!

The new Copic colours are finally in! Yeah!


I don't know about you, but I am sick of winter and ready for spring. Now I know, we have had a really easy winter this year compared to others, but hey, winter is winter!  Bring on spring!


So, these new Copic colours are just the thing to put me in a spring frame of mind! (Check out the post on January 24th for the colours)

Remember when you were a kid and you got that brand new box of crayons with new colours in it! Remember how much fun it was to imagine what you would colour with them? Remember the first picture you coloured with those amazing new colours and you marvelled at how much better your colouring was because of those new colours? Well - experience that again with these yummy new shades!


The Skribbles and Scraps price for the whole set - $65. Hurry in and purchase a little piece of spring!

Back to reality.....

They're back!
Well I finally heard from the crew that went down to CHA in Anaheim. They had a blast! The weather was perfect, the show was great, they hated to come home! Can you blame them?

Bob was saying something about selling the house and having Riley and Chassie shipped down! As you can see from the picture - he came back under protest - he practically had to be dragged away!

Cathy got some great pictures - she is quite the photographer, and seems to be an expert at wrapping sales reps around her finger! 

Sherry loved watching Tim do his thing with his new toys, Jennie was already scheming on how to rearrange the store to make room for all the new goodies that they have ordered. 

So - let me start out with Tim and his new toys - Distress Markers! Yup - 36 amazing markers to expand your creativity. Check out the  video here.


Jennie has some sets on order - she is offering them for $90 for a complete set - if you do the math, that comes out to $2.78 each! Call the store and reserve yours today! She will be incorporating these very cool markers into a future technique class. 

Oh - and to make some room, Jennie has told Bob that some things just have to go! So hurry into the store to get the best selection of all Stamp Barn and Frogs Whiskers  stamps at 50% off. There is also more sale paper added the sale bin - $0.20 a sheet. 


Cathy tells me you will not know the store when you go in - everything has been rearranged to make things more shopper friendly. I can't wait to see it! 


Stay tuned in the next couple of weeks for more fabulous products news. It's going to be an exciting year!
