Introducing Scrappin' Great Deals!



Scrappin’ Great Deals has been providing craft enthusiasts with outstanding scrapbooking and card making supplies since 2004!!  What began as an online only store, in owner extraordinaire Scrappin' Sheila's basement, has blossomed into both online ordering and a huge 3400 sqft retail location!!  It has certainly surpassed Sheila's wildest dreams!!  We are located just outside of London, Ontario, Canada, in the village of Kilworth Heights.
 
Our Design Team Diva's here at SGD's are as passionate about this amazing hobby as you are!   We are YOU and like you, we cannot wait to get our hands on all of the newest products and that ALWAYS includes the latest and greatest from BoBunny!!  Whether you are a scrapbooker or a card-maker ... we have the products and classes for you ... from beginner to advanced .... for ages 5 - 125!  SGDs has been designed with the goal of providing fellow-crafters (that's YOU!) with the opportunity to shop for great products at amazing prices! 

We were thrilled and honoured to host BoBunny at our store last spring!  Over the course of the weekend, JoAnn taught both card classes and mini-album classes to 120 extremely excited ladies!!  We can’t wait to have her back!  From left to right here are Scrappin' Sheila, BoBunny's JoAnne and our event co-ordinator Diva Kim:

♪ I wanna use the INK with somebody ♫  ♪

It's amazing what you can do with stamps.
I often forget to use my stamps, and then the girls go and do
amazing things with them and I'm all gung-ho to get mine out.

Designer Tip: On this layout I wanted the stamped clocks to be the main embellishments on my layout. To make sure they really catch the eye, I stamped them on a piece of a paper, cut them out and then layered them using foamtape. I added a few circles that I cut out from the Country Garden 'Glimpse' paper, a banner and three fussy cut butterflies to finish off my layout. As you can see, you don't need many pre-made embellishments to achieve an embellished look. A few cut out and stamped images will do too.

This is a great tip from Romy!  Just sayin'... I tried to google translate the title, and it must be a dutch saying cuz the literal translation is " 2 hands on 1 belly."  So Romy, will you tell us what it means and where the saying comes from pretty please???

Card Kit Personified
by Debbie Sherman

 I love how easy it is to add to the card kits.
You can make them as simple or as complicated as you want.
I also love that the stamps coordinate so well with the line.


 It's so awesome what a little embossing powder, charm and fiber does to a card.
Designer Tip: To add a little exta to the Serenity card kit I added stamping with the coordinating stamps from the Serenity line. I embossed them with ultra thick gold powder to give the cards more texture and to make the stamping stand out from the rich colors of the paper.


I hope that song is stuck in your heads like it is mine now... ha ha
Happy Stamping and make sure to share with us!
