Happy Valentine's Day

Thanks for all who have played along with us. If you did any of the tags, please send us pictures. Remember, the tags did not have to be exactly like ours, but just done with ours as a starting point. There are a couple of ways to submit photos. You can email them to us carolyn at thecraftyscrapper.com (change the at to @ of course). You can upload them to our facebook fan page. You can put them on your blog or site and provide us a link in a comment here on this post.

We will pick a winner (or two) on the 20th. That gives a few days for you to get the pics to us. It's all for fun and hopefully gave you a jump in creating during this time of year.

If you didn't do the tags, still feel free to comment. You just never know :)

Day 13- Bonus Tag

Always an overachiever, Susie did two more tags to take us right through V-day. I'll put info out here tomorrow on how to submit pics of tags for the prizes. Have a good evening.

Tag Number 12

WOW. Who knew it would snow so long? It is really pretty to look at-NOT so pretty to try to drive around in. Hope you all are safe and warm.



I'm not sure what dress form Susie used for this tag, but there are several of them out there right now. The newest is the one from Maya Road. There is a mini collection of hangers and other sewing stuff that would work perfectly on this tag.

Ruthe G, your name was picked out of the hat (random number picker). Your prize will be waiting at the store for you. Thanks to all of you who commented.

Tag Number 11

Pockets! I love pockets on everything. Clothes, paper, wall hangings-just everything. This is an adorable pocket. The things you could fill it with!

Remember to leave a comment for a chance to win a prize tomorrow.

Snow is not the only thing falling around here. We have more stuff on the 50% off rack and there is cardstock on sale 4 for a dollar. The store is filling up with new product like crazy. Yesterday we received another 10 boxes. Papers and punches. Flowers and stickers.

You might want to plan a trip soon to the store to stock up.

The Tag of Day 10

Another tag loaded with fun. If it seems a tad blurry, it is because it is so dimensional. These were scanned in to the computer for you. Just look at the buttons, mini flowers, fragments, bling and all the things put onto this tag.

Thanks for all the comments. Frank has won the prize for today. Let us know Frank if you aren't coming by the store.....There'll be another prize for Friday from those commenting today and tomorrow.

I hope you all got the email about Maya Road arriving yesterday. LOTS of stuff from them. Also, Prima arrived. LOTS of stuff from them. I am beginning to repeat myself :)
Truthfully though, there is so much wonderful product coming in, it will start to sound redundant. We got 4 lines of Prima papers with matching flowers, stickers and pebbles. In addition, of course, there are other flowers too. So many it is impossible to list them all.

Who knows what excitement will be in the boxes delivered today!?!

Day 9: You're So Fine :)

So many fun elements on this tag too. The bingo card, the Ideology grungeboard latches, the little crepe paper pinwheel from Making Memories, etc. That little strip of paper should be easy to find on my table right now.

Tomorrow, I will pick a name from those who posted on Sunday's & Monday's posts, but don't let that stop you from leaving your thoughts on this one (smile).

Product continues to roll into the store. Jenni Bowlin came in yesterday-all the embellished butterflies, bingo cards, vintage looking buttons, baby boy and baby girl papers and some other papers from the Homespun and Black and Red lines. The new Bazzil has arrived and will be put out today. Little Yellow Bicycle's Generation Z has also come in and is out on the shelves.

I'm Late, I'm Late in posting for Day 8

Sorry for the evening post instead of morning. Will do the prize on Wednesday instead of tomorrow. Post on yesterday or today's post and you might be the winner!

Day 7 Tag

Susie did another fab tag for today. The "Valentine" embellishment is from the Making Memories Love Struck line. There are so many fun things on this tag; Tim Holtz film strip and clip, Maya Road heart trinket pins plus the tulle and other fun doo dads.

The winner of the prize from yesterday is Dee Dee. I am crossing my fingers for more posters today. I will do a prize Tuesday for posting on Today's and Monday's post.

We are anticipating a LOT of product next week and will keep you posted as it rolls in.

Day 6 Already!

Another yummy tag for you to make. Are you making any of them? all of them? or is this on your agenda for the weekend?




Since it is a weekend, I think I'll have a prize for a commenter on the post again. Also, I found some other yummy goodies to add to the grand prize, so that package keeps growing! I'll try to get a picture of it all out here before the end, so you can decide if it is worth it to you to send us the email :)

Hope this is sparking some creativity in you. I have heard from a few of you on other communication sources (email, FB,etc), but would love to see you post here too.



I realized that I forgot to tell you that a new Easter line is in the store too. Many Easter lines don't show up until the end of Feb/first of March, so this is a chance to do some early work for the holiday! The line is Hippity Hoppity from We R Memory Keepers. A cute line with this darling little bunny embellishment.

Tags: Day 5 and Other News

This tag uses that cute heart spinner from Little Yellow Bicycle, but I am quite sure that even without that piece, you can figure out something for this tag.



It was great to hear your thoughts on the tag from yesterday and how you saw using it or making it. Based on random number picking, Carmen is the winner of the prize. It will be at the store if you are coming that way soon. If not, email us and we'll get it to you.

The products are now starting to roll in. January is always kind of blah without many new products. Thankfully, we were able to get some great things in during that month. Now the new stuff that we saw at CHA is rolling in.

A new company we ordered from is Impression Obsession. They have some great stamp images including a 6 x 6 stamp that covers a card or would work as background stamps. Their images are really nice. We also got some of their cling stamps and the mega mount. See their product here. Click on their 2009-Fall-Winter-IO-Supplement. It will open up a pdf of all of their products. Be sure to scroll down and see the mega mount.

Also, Thursday, we received two paper lines from Three bugs in a Rug. Another new company for us. The first is Animal Stackers. Cute for baby or a trip to the zoo.


The full line can be seen here.

This line is The Great Outdoors. Camping and many other outdoor activities could be capture on this paper.


The full line can be seen here.

Two lines from Imaginisce came in as well. One is called Lucy Bird. Here is one of the papers from this line. Sweet. Thankfully, there are some lines with birds in them this season. So many people have asked for them.



Their other line is Scooter's Vacation. Designed to be versatile, not just for a trip, but can be used for other memory making occasions too. Here is a picture of the pack.



We also got a full display of Flower Soft. If you haven't used it, you should. Here are a couple pictures from their booth at CHA. They have a blog as well, and have awesome samples there.




Despite the name, it is also perfect for fur, clouds, frosting and other textures you would like to add to your work.

In addition to all of the above, we have received two boxes of ribbons...and still have more to go.

Leave us your thoughts----on the tag, new product, ideas, etc.

Tags: Day 4

Today's tag uses some Pink Paislee Valentine's paper. (Not a requirement of course) I'm anxious to see what everyone does on this tag. DOn't you love the white ink swirls on the darker background?



I will pick a person's name at random for a prize out of comments left on this post. You don't have to be doing the tags to comment.

Regarding the grand prize from those who email us their tags at the end of play, we've added a 3 tin set of pink embellishments from Bo Bunny to the Tim Holtz stamp set. Never know what else will get added.

What are your thoughts about today's tag? What else can you use for this look?

Valentine's Tag; Day 3

Eeny, Meeny, Miney Mo.....The winner is Debbie. Next time you are at the store, pick up the prize chosen especially for you.

We will have prizes on some of the daily tags, so let us know your thoughts with comments. You don't have to be doing the tags to comment, but if you are, we like to know as well. After the end of the countdown, we will have you send an email of your completions to us. We will pick a winner and that person will receive the new set of Valentine Stamps from Ideology.

Now, for the day 3 tag.



Are you using up your stash doing these? Perfect way to use up those scraps too.

Valentine's Tags: Day 2

Here is the cute tag for the 2nd day. Again, you don't have to make it exactly like this. In fact, you might decide to turn them into cards. The goal is to get yourself crafting using this as a starting point.

On this tag, she used the fragments to cover sections of paper. Glossy accents, zip dry or other clear glue will work to hold the fragments in place. The fragments make the sections stand out nicely.



Be sure to tell us your thoughts and whether or not you are making anything along with us. I will pick a winner from comments on today's post for a prize and announce it tomorrow when I post the day 3 tag.

Countdown To Valentine's Day

This time of year can cause anyone to have a drop in inspiration and creativity. To combat this drop, we want to encourage you to make some tags for the next 12 days. Today is the first one. Your tag does not have to be exactly like this one, but we hope you will use this one as a starting point at least. At the end, we will ask for you to send us your tags and we will give a great prize to someone who sends in the pics. This tag is for Monday, which will be day one. The second one will be posted Tuesday.



In the meantime, let us know if you are doing these along with us! (thanks Susie for making these great inspirational tags for the countdown)
