Happy Halloween

I hope everyone has a safe and fun night with your families :)

Since my kiddos are 18 and 20 no little ones in costumes at my
house this year. Both are going to Halloween festivities with
close friends so I am sure I will see some crazy pics later on.

For now the only ones in costumes waiting to hand out treats
are Emmy and Cocoa :)

Lunch Time Fun on Thursday

A friend stopped by the store this afternoon to hang out and "play" for a bit.

We decided to play with some of the new WRM Explore papers. I was showing her
some of my goodies I bought at the store yard sale this past weekend.

Next thing you know we were cutting, stamping and creating :)

I thought I would share a pic of one of the cards. Being a complete coffee-a-holic
I love my coffee theme stamps from the yard sale. (the steam is actually an AL
flourish stamp)

Announcing EMI Creative Kits

Hi Everyone

Lots of new ideas are in the works here at EMI, so there will be quite a few posts over the next week or two.

Several customers have requested that we carry more class kits for customers
to purchase when they cannot attend a scheduled class. I know how hard it is sometimes with hectic home schedules to make classes....so after a lot of planning the past few days we are going to
do just that :)

All of the classes we offer every month will be available in kit form
immediately upon posting the class info. ****All class kits will have
colored pictures and detailed directions**** In addition there will
always be a sample of the class/kit project in the store.

I know a lot of stores require that
you wait until after the class to purchase the class kits.

I have never liked
that idea so we are going to offer our kits for purchase as
soon as they are created :) This way if you can make the
schedule class we would love to have you join us but if
you cannot attend you can purchase the class kit at your
convenience.

Since I came up with this idea mid month it is going to take
me a week or so to create the kits for the upcoming classes.

I posted dates below for which the kits for Oct will be finished by and
up for sale in the store.

All future class kits will
be available for purchase as soon as
I post them to the blog or email the newsletter group about the
class.

We will also be offering a selection of kits for sale in
the store that are not a scheduled class. These kits also
will come with detailed colored directions :)

Yard Sale Fun Saturday 10-13-07

Here are a few pics of today's yard sale event.

We had several ladies selling everything from
albums, paper packs, kits, embellishments,
ink pads and more

I think I was the "top shopper" I bought a ton
of CTMH and Stamp It Up Stamps, ideas books, mini albums
and all kinds of chipboard. There were some AWESOME
bargins enjoyed by everyone who came and shopped.

A few of the ladies have asked if we could have 1 more
sale this fall. I am game for it :) I am thinking
either the 27th or Nov 3rd. I will try and send out an
email and see which date works best for everyone.

Paper Trends, Scrapbook Trends & Cards Magazine Club



I love, love, love all 3 of these magazines.

Every month I go on the "hunt"
coupon in hand for all 3 of them. I usually luck out and find the
current issues at Michaels but sometimes it takes a trip or two.
Sometimes it falls on a week that there is not a coupon so I end up
waiting till the next week and having to make yet another trip.

So I have decided to start carrying all 3 in the store and offering
them at the 40% off price (actually a little more than 40% off) no
coupons necessary.

I am offering 3 issue "club" memberships on each magazine at the +40% off price payable 3 months in advance. We are starting with the November issues of all 3 of the magazines.

You may choose 1 magazine or all 3 magazines.

Scrapbook Trends and Paper Crafts Magazines retail for $14.95. The EMI Scrapbooking price will be $8.50 per issue. $25.50 for 3 issues instead of the $45.00 retail for 3 issues

CARDS Magazine retails for $19.95. EMI Scrapbooking price will be $12.00 per issue (so $36.00 for 3 issues instead of the $60.00 retail for 3 issues)

I will call and email the day the magazines arrive and when you come into pick
up your issue everyone will receive a surprise and 10% off their purchase that day.

I mentioned this idea to a few regular customers last week and they loved it and signed up immediately.

If you are interested or need additional information please call the store at
678-341-7079 or send us an email at emiscrapbooking@aol.com
