If you like pastels...

Scrapbook.com has a cute set by Die Cuts with a View that's sure to satisfy your sweet tooth!




It's been reduced about $20 in price and is an awesome deal for what you get.

If it's just not enough with the cardstock, if your order is more than $40, you can get these rub-ons for free.  Just use coupon code alpha7889 after adding them to your cart.  Even if you don't get them for free, $10 is still a good price! :o)


I know with all the rain we've been getting lately, it sure would be nice to look at some bright and sunny scrapbook papers.  Doesn't it cheer EVERYONE up?  :o)

Sizzix for 20% off...and some Awesome Basic Grey Deals

Ok...

I'm nesting.  I've had to move my gigantic scrapbook armoire out of what USED to be my craft room.  *tears*

But I've also started thinking about how I can use what I have to decorate the baby's room.  If you've ever made vinyl stickers for your walls, PLEASE email me or leave a comment!  I have been wanting to try making some vinyl stickers using contact paper and a die cut machine, but haven't gotten up the nerve yet!

Anyway, back to traditional scrapbooking.

Scrapbook.com has all their Sizzix on sale for 20% off!!  Here's one I've had my eye on:


Then there's also the Basic Grey assorted paper...kind of makes my mouth water looking at it!


Alright, now if you have any ideas on how to make those vinyl stickers for the wall, non-permanent, PLEASE let me know.  I'll be forever grateful!
