Papermoon Scrapbooking

Cricut Class ~ Sat March 13th ~ 1 - 4PM

We' had so many requests for another Cricut Class that we've scheduled one for this Saturday, 1 - 4PM.  The cost of the class is $25 and includes materials.  You'll still need to bring your basic class kit (scissors, paper trimmer, adhesives, chalks, pens/markers and pop-up dots) plus anything else you want to play around with.  If you don't have a Cricut, no worries....you can buddy up with someone who does. 

Topics that will be covered in this class will be a little more on the basic functions of the Cricut, moving towards more advanced functions.  We'll also touch on embellishing, chalking, how to use stickles, popping items and soooo much more.  It's a very fun filled, FULL class!  You'll leave with several new techniques and new twists on old techniques as well.  Bea is an awesome teacher and it's hard not to love her!

   

We got the Cuttlebugs in today!  Along with 21 different Embossing folders and 12 different Tombow dual tip markers. We had one customer buy one of each of everything so come in and get yours before they're all gone.

The lastest on Baisc Grey's Kioshi and Green at Heart is that they are supposed to arrive at our distributor tomorrow.  Hopefully they can turn it around asap and get our order shipped out within a few days.  I know many of you are anxiously awaiting these awesome lines!

We did get SEVERAL new lines in from My Mind's Eye last week.  Some of these lines were Quite Contrary....
 

'Lil Robots.....
 

And our personal favorite...Lush.  This one is a Beaut with a velvety feel to it.


And these aren't all....to see the entire lines, check out the photo albums to the left ; )

Last, but certainly not least, if you haven't had a chance to come in and snag your share of the Easter paper, you better hurry.....it's almost gone.  Check out the GORGEOUS layout that Karen Cook and Beatriz Farquhar-Guzman made with this Easter paper on our facebook page or in the Layout photo album to your left.

Hope to see each one of you soon!

Look what we did today!

Bea and I were busy as BEES! These are all Cricut designs, embellished with stickles, ribbon, googly eyes, buttons and more.....they are all available for sale in the store for you to use in your own layouts!

We had so much fun in Cricut class this morning that we had a second class in the afternoon for a few that weren't able to participate in the first class. And after class was over, a few stayed to work on other projects with their new found skills!!!

We learned so much about the Cricut...shortcuts, tricks, and all those buttons that we've never pushed, got pushed!!! Those without Cricuts were eager to get one and some with the smaller machine were dying to upgrade to the expression. The Cricut is truly an amazing and versatile tool that makes scrapbooking and passing on those precious memories down through the ages a breeze!! Look out for our announcements on some of the exciting classes coming to Paper Moon!!!

 

AND....our store Cricut is on the way and should be here in about a week! Now you will be able to bring any cartridge you want to work with and plug into our Cricut here at the store.  Our Cricut will be available for use during store hours and Crops unless we have a class.  We're working on our Cartridge Library too.

Our calendar will be up shorty so keep an eye out for all the great classes and crops we have coming up!

Happy Scrap-Beading!

~ Scrap-beading ~

I think I found our new slogan!  ~ Scrap-beading ~

I said I would create a layout using beads....here it is.  I actually didn't do it myself, but our new teacher, Beatriz, and Kelly, my beautiful mother, got together on this one.  Bea did the layout and then Kelly introduced her to beading wire and seed beads.  Well, off they went!

She wrapped wire in the button for the flower's middle.  And then used wire to make the stems and leaves, filling them with glossy accents and sead beads.  Beautiful!

This layout was made with My Mind's Eye paper.

And then a card was born......  They wrapped a wired stem in rafia and then again filled the leaves with glossy accents and the seed beads....in addition to the wire wrapping done on the flower button.  I smell a new class coming on!

We had a very fun and busy day!  Come check out our window with tons of new layout ideas and 3-D projects.  Including this one below.....a canvas book with a surprise inside!

Thanks to everyone who came and helped us clear off shelf space for our new lines.  Be on the lookout for news of tomorrow's truck when it arrives!

Cricut 101 ~ This Saturday

You will be amazed by what you can do with your Cricut! This class will help you learn how to cut out and embellish your Cricut designs. Take your scrapbook projects farther then ever before, taking the standard Cricut designs and adding your own personal flair.

We have spots for 10 people. You'll need your Cricut, cutting mats, spatula tool and any cartridges you want to play with.  Two people can share a Cricut for this class so if you know someone who would like to learn but doesn't own a Cricut personally, invite them too.  We'll be providing all the paper you need.  Some of the other things that you will want to bring are scissors, a paper trimmer if you have one, fine point sharpies in black, brown and red, googly eyes, chalking inks, liquid glues and anything else you might want to embellish with.

The cost is $25 per person and we'll be providing light refreshments and goody bags. So come join us and let's have a blast!

2 Days left! Also, .10 cent a sheet paper! This is long... :)

Just a reminder to everyone that our RESET Sale will be ending Thursday at 6PM.  We've managed to clear an amazing amount of space for new lines but we do still have a TON of older lines left.  In case anyone hasn't heard or has forgotten the rundown, it's as follows....

The newer Basic Grey (Indian Summer, Eskimo Kisses and Nook & Pantry), and My Mind's Eye (Abbey Road, Ooh La La for Him & Ooh La La for Her, Colorful Christmas, Merry Days of Christmas, Boo to You and The Spider's Web) lines are all 50% off.  EVERY OTHER LINE is 75% off!  This includes the Custom School Papers. And ALL embellishments START at 50% off...we have a table that has some at 75% off too. Embellishments includes things like stickers, chipboard, alphas, buttons, brads, eyelets, pre-cut ribbons, die cuts, laserlines, stickles, cats eye inks, flowers and so much more....even if it's something new, it's still at least 50% off (and we just got over 800 new pieces in last Saturday, not counting papers).  We do have a stack of about 700 sheets of paper left from our 1500+ stack.  It's .10 cent a sheet and dwindling fast.  We 'rescued' this paper from a store that closed.  There are all kinds of lines/brands, single and double sided in this stack.  

For our Beaders: Our sale this Saturday is 50% off on all seed beads.  Regular prices start at $2.50 to $6.00 per vial or bag. We're clearing them out to bring in Delicas, a highly demanded, better quality of seed beads.  These would actually be great for Scrappers too...I'll have to create a layout using some to post for everyone to see.

We have 9 paper lines and 1 Frame Ups line coming from My Mind's Eye.  It will be here next week.  And Basic Grey's Kioshi and Green at Heart lines are still scheduled for shipping the beginning of March.  These are just the beginning of the many many lines that are coming in.  We have others such as Crate Paper, American Crafts, Cosmo Cricket, Best Creations, BoBunny, Graphic 45 (If you've never seen this line ,it is AMAZING), Webster's Pages and so much more.  And we've recently found out about Anna Griffin and are looking into her designs as well. We're shooting for at least one new line every 2 weeks.  

I know many of you have been asking for black and brown cats eye inks/chalks and the stickles (these were among the first to be snatched up at the beginning of our sale).  We have placed an order and UPS says they'll be here Friday.  We'll also be getting in Easter Paper and St. Patrick's Day Paper along with some more glue and tools.  We'll have it out on the shelves within an hour after we get it so if you're needing anything, stop by and snatch it up.

Last, but certainly not least.  We are setting a date for our first Cricut class.  We are looking at this Saturday, the 27th, so if you might be interested, please drop us a line and let us know.  Or you can give us a call at the store, 677-7731 or 678-1550....ask for Autumn.  Let us know what time works for you so we can schedule it at a time convenient for the most scrappers.  The class will run 3 hours and will cost $20.  We'll provide light refreshments.

I think I've gone on long enough....lol....sorry!  Trying to get it all in there.  To get the most up to date info available for Paper Moon or Firefly Beads, add us to your friend list on Facebook.  You can find us as Firefly Beads or PaperMoon.

We hope to see you soon!

Basic Grey has a few new lines coming out.  Kioshi, Green at Heart, Cappella, Max and Whiskars and Basics.  They'll be shipping between the end of February to the end of April.

We're contemplating trying out the new Copic Markers line.  Is anyone familiar with Copic and is this something that some of you might be interested in?

Last, but certainly not least, we will be expanding into the Acrylic stamping lines.  These are growing in popularity and we have had several requests for stamps.  

We hope to see you guys soon!  Just an fyi, the Saturday crop went great and we had a lot of fun!  The next crop will be March 6th.  I know a lot of you like to come in pairs so make sure to give us a call to book your tables early.  We have very limited seating.

It's time to start cropping again!

Well, the hustle and bustle of Christmas is over and we are settling back into our routine here at Firefly Beads and Paper Moon.  Our first crop of the year has been scheduled for February 6th, from 10 - 8.  Dinner will be pizza, served at 5ish.  We have limited spots so call or stop in to book yours!

We are next in line for Basic Grey's two newest lines, Sugar Rush and Origins.  We will let you know as soon as they arrive.

Take care and hope to see everyone soon!
