Meet our Friends at PaperMarket in Singapore!

We’ve been in business since 2005 and started out as one of the first papercrafting stores in Singapore and Asia. From a small store of just 450 square feet we have indeed grown from strength to strength and now have a total of 4 retail stores in Singapore. Our customers are made up of new and very seasoned scrappers. If there would be one brand that has remained a hot favourite amongst all of our customers , it would definitely have to be Bo Bunny. Collection after collection, we see the most lovely designs and products that appeal to our customers who are always hungry for new supplies.

Each PaperMarket store offers a variety of over 8000 skus and over 100 papercrafting brands to cater to the insatiable crafter’s creative appetite. Each store also includes a classroom of varying capacity. Our team of in-house designer-educators and Design team members work diligently to ensure that our monthly class offerings stay fresh, updated and always inspiring. We have been blessed with so many creative talents at PaperMarket, many of whom are actively designing for manufacturers in the USA and are frequently published in scrapbooking magazines. We are thankful that they have chosen to be part of our team. From mini-albums, trio-layouts to unique altered art projects, much effort is devoted into including techniques and ideas that would meet every scrapper’s needs and industry trends. If there’s one thing very different here as compared to the USA, it would be that the majority of scrappers here love fussy cutting, heavily embellished projects and projects that are a chockful of techniques.

Besides Papercrafting and scrapbooking supplies, PaperMarket offers a unique range of stationery and gift items sourced from everywhere around the world. Come stroll thr0ugh the aisles of PaperMarket, peek into updates of weekly new arrivals and exciting class projects and events all happening at www.papermarket.com.sg

Store Feature: Bargain Bill's in Rice Lake, WI

My Craft Store began as a modest little store, 700 square feet in size, with just a few crafting items and a little bit of fabric. As products became more available to me, I began to venture into new crafting areas. In 1990, property became available at the corner of Highways 48 & 53 in the small town of Rice Lake in Northern Wisconsin, so we took a leap and built a 20,000 square foot Craft Store. Through the years we’ve increased product lines to include arts and crafts, home décor, scrapbook, stamping, beading, sewing, silk floral, aromatherapy, general supplies and about everything in between! 

You could say we have a love of paper! You’ll find 125 racks of scrapbooking papers, thousands of stickers, rubber stamps, a huge selection of photo albums and embellishments beyond belief!  In another part of the store you’ll see beautiful seasonal silk floral in vibrant colors and a complete array of home décor, including wicker baskets, wooden signs and candles.  But you’re not done shopping yet….check out the huge selection of beads, both packaged and sold by the pound, as well as an extensive line of jewelry making supplies including findings, charms, wire, beading tools and storage containers.

We carry upholstery supplies including vinyl, burlap, canvas, GoreTex, thread, snaps, upholstery foam, upholstery nails and assorted snap fasteners.  Our customers visit us for the large area of sewing, embroidery, cross stitch, latch hook, miles of yarn, tulle and lace!  Just around the corner you will find soap and candle making kits, craft lights, clock workings and a huge area of wedding supplies!

We couldn’t forget the project makers and general crafters, so you’ll find a wall filled with packages of feathers, pom poms, craft eyes and magnets, along with tinsel stems and pipe cleaners. If you are a hobbyist, we carry Balsa Wood, Crafting plywood, Dowel sticks, and wooden items like balls, bowling pins, wheels, letters and animals. Art supplies include stretched canvas, drawing pads, watercolor pencils and brushes as well as oil pastels and other items. And we can’t forget to mention engravers, versa-tools, wood burning supplies, paints, mod podge and RIT dyes, as well as modeling clay, cork sheets and stencils.  There is simply something for everyone and too much to list! 

Bargain Bill’s Craft Store is a fun place to shop! Come and stroll our aisles with a casual shopping atmosphere and you’ll have a great time.  Our staff is knowledgeable and ready to help you with your project! You’ll see them at various craft events in the community, as well as hosts to our in-store Friday Night Crop Nights and Saturday afternoon demonstrations.

Bo Bunny loves Scrapbook Panache!!!

Come on in...

Scrapbook Panache opened in 2008 by Harriet Thone. Here in Arkansas we do not have a big selection of specialty scrapbook stores, so Harriet wanted to open a store where she could offer many different styles of papers and embellishments from several different companies. She has done that here at Scrapbook panache we carry the latest and greatest from over 25 different companies. Out of those Bo Bunny is one of our favorite brands to carry. Each time Bo Bunny comes out with a new line, we know that we have to have the whole collection for the store. I think what we and our customers love the most about Bo Bunny is that each line that they make is so unique and different from the last but they all have so many buttons stickers and embellishments that match each unique line perfectly. That makes it easier for the designers here at the store along with our customers to make a layout or cards.

We have recently moved to a new location where our store is now 4,000 sq feet and we have a large crop room in the back that seats up to 40 people. We are right off of the interstate and our building sets in between several restaurants and motels. So anyone that would like to attend any of our FREE monthly crops from out of town can come and stay and do all they need to within walking distance from our store. Our crop room can be used or reserved for any crafting event as long as we are not holding an event at the time of request!!! The first Saturday of each month is when we hold our FREE monthly crop from 10am-5pm. Everyone gets a gift for attending and we have a drawing each hour for a door prize; Harriet always gives away the BEST prizes!!! We also have a kids class each month for only $10. We have several different instructors here at the store...Angela Anderson, Brenda Collins, Chasidy Mills, Denise Donaldson, Franshel Horney aolng with Harriet Thone. We teach different classes through out the month including scrapbook layouts, card classes, mixed media and mini albums.

 We have recently created a website http://www.myscrapbookpanache.com/index.html that is still being worked on daily!!! We also have a Facebook Page "Scrapbook Panache" (it is the page with the profile picture of our sign) that you can check out or follow us if you would like.

Below are some projects from this amazing store!

 

 Thank you Bo Bunny for giving us a chance to be in your spotlight!!!

SCRAPAHOLICS - Store Showcase

Kia Ora (Welcome) to the world of Scrapaholics! My name is Jodi Tomlin and for the last 5 years I have developed my business because I was obsessed with Scrapbooking – the most awesome hobby in the world!

My business now resides in Howick, Auckland, New Zealand. Scrapaholics started life as a website business only but I am too much of a people person and I had to get face to face with other Scrapbook fanatics, so 2 years ago we extended ourselves to open a Bricks & Mortar store.

I left behind my career as an IT Consultant and dedicated myself to building my store into a space that I believe is comfortable and well stocked.

I am lucky to have a Store Manager, Sarah, who worked for another scrapbook store before mine and is very experienced and knowledgeable. Sarah loves helping our customers with design and colour combinations her willingness to assist is complimented all the time.

(here are some of Sarah's creations)

 

 Then there are a team of 5 tutors that bring great style to the many classes that we run each month. It’s great working with these ladies too; we bounce ideas off each other and get very inspired by each other’s work.

(The following layouts are from 1 of our tutors... JODI)

While I have been using BoBunny papers all of my Scrapbooking life, during the last 2 years we have introduced BoBunny to our store customers and we certainly have built a great fan base who eagerly await the new releases each quarter. I would say that the biggest fan we have is one of our tutors Vivienne who just cannot get enough BoBunny product...

Last year Vivienne made some beautiful cards from the Gabrielle range for a class and earlier this year made a stunning layout from the Country Garden collection for her “Pieces of Me” group.

(this is Viv)

I too have worked with a number of the ranges and pretty much love them all!

I was privileged enough to meet Jeri and Megan last year at an event in Auckland hosted by our New Zealand BoBunny wholesaler Kays Co. and then caught up with these lovely ladies again this January at CHA is Los Angeles.

(This is Jeri, while visiting)

Thank you BoBunny for giving me the opportunity to show off our store on your blog! We LOVE your products – your designers are FAB! Kia Kaha (native Maori phrase – means Stay Strong!)

Hugs

Jodi and the Scrapaholics Team
