UPDATES ON EXTRAVAGANZA!!
THE UPDATES WENT OUT IN AN EMAIL EARLIER THIS WEEK, BUT IN CASE YOU MISSED IT, I'LL POST DETAILS HERE...
We are less than 2 months away from our 9th annual scrapbook extravaganza.

There are only a handful of tickets remaining!

Many of you already have your tickets purchased. Thank You!
September 30th is your last chance to put your ticket on a payment plan.

Down Payment thru September 30th $65.00
Final Payment November 1st $65.00
Go online at www.scrapus.com and register...don't forget all the awesome side classes!!!!

Deadline to choose your T-Shirt size has changed to September 30th. We will, of course, order everyone a shirt however you will not be guaranteed your size after September 30th. It will be on a first come basis.

How will this work?
On Friday evening when the shirts are handed out, those that purchased tickets after September 30th will need to wait until everyone has a shirt then we will begin in ticket order calling the names of those that did not get a shirt. You will get your choice of what shirts we have available at that time. Hopefully we won't have this problem because I know you are going to go straight to the website and register.

We have twelve awesome classes lined up for you on Friday. Scroll down below to find the class you are most interested in. A couple of the classes are not quite finished yet so there are no pictures. I will post the photo's as soon as they are available.

Good Evening! More from Pink Paislee and Crate Paper...

Hello!
Have you all built your boats yet? I think we need to soon!! We had so much rain here that our neighbor's pond overflow came through our yard, and brought his fish with it! We literally had small perch floating across our driveway! I could not believe it! My son picked them up and put them in our bird bath to "save their lives"! He was so proud of himself!!
This weather makes me want to stay in, be lazy, and scrapbook! I made this tonight with the new Amber Road from Pink Paislee. I think this is one of my most favorite lines I've seen so far. Love the colors...so rich and perfect for fall.

I used the punch outs and the Canvas Tag Patch on this page. You get three of those tags in a package and they are all gorgeous.

This photo shows the detail of the paper pleating I've done. It is easy, just fold and staple, and repeat. You have to staple the ends together (2-3 pleated pieces) to get the 12X12 length. Easy to do and adds a bit of interest to the pages.


Tonight we're talking paper, Crate Paper. Click HERE to go to their website gallery.
Click HERE to go to the main website

I couldn't find any good videos for them, so just go check out their website and all their new lines they have.

1 Month and 24 days until EXTRAVAGANZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope all is well with all of you out there tonight!
Happy Scrappin' from The Attic!!
