Remember When Scrapbook Store is CHANGING!!!

We made HUGE progress in our rearrangement of the sales floor & register area today. Keith took several more displays to the CLEARANCE ROOM!!! There is a very large supply of sale items and we will restock the sale area on a weekly basis. This is well worth the trip to Whitesboro!!!

CLEARANCE ROOM - You can shop in the clearance room for 50% off individual items OR...REMEMBER OUR EXTREMELY POPULAR BAG SALE from last Thanksgiving??? If you prefer, you can come in and fill a bag provided to you by Remember When and take all the contents for just $49.99...There were stories of people adding up the costs last year and one person hit $600 worth of merchandise in her bag. This stuff is not junk...just the last few pieces of a line or things that don't go well in our new mix. There will be shelves of cardstock, Zutter o-rings, miscellaneous QuicKutz, tons of embellishments, stickers, stamps, inks, gift items and SO MUCH MORE!!!

We were happy to fill flat rate boxes for out of towners last year...the same remains true now! Just give us a call at the store and we'll do our best to cram a big flat rate ($10 for postage) box full of scrapbooking treasures for the same price as local customers! *There will be no free shipping on these incredible clearance boxes.

In store customers, please refrain from unpackaging items in order to fit more into a bag...this is a GREAT DEAL and I would hate to have to shut down an awesome sale.

SORRY...CLEARANCE BOXES/BAGS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR OUR LAYAWAY PROGRAM

Thank you all for your continued support over the years. We look forward to seeing you in store SOON!!! Be sure to let us know what you think of the new layout at Remember When...AND, don't forget to sign up for our first IN STORE Community Crop on Saturday, November 14th. I will be teaching a class the prior weekend, Ranger Round-Up! I was fortunate enough to be chosen to attend Ranger University in New Jersey earlier this year. I learned so much from Tim Holtz, Claudine Hellmuth & Suze Weinberg. I can't wait to share some of my knowledge with you, along with creating an AWESOME project or two. Tracy Burtt, of The Treasure Box Club, will be my teaching assistant. There are some awesome classes coming up later in September & in October...be sure to check out the store calendar.

What a happening place Remember When is becoming!!!

Ok. So today was Monday and it started out as any other Monday. Kinda ho hum waiting for some trouble to find its way to Willy and I while JJ slaved (HEHE) at work. Then... OMG OMG OMG!!! Jason Jones is a Sexy Beast ( he tells me all the time) and is the QK Ambassador. And in the # 1 spot. I don't know if that really means anything or not. GOODNESS!! I did not even know he had tried out for the position. Willy and I were just sitting around having a day of beauty (still no trouble) when we found out. I am SO EXCITED!! I was doing flips and cartwheels. I think I might have really hurt myself and pulled a muscle in a couple of legs. OH!! And be prepared he has been working on his "Acceptance" speech! : ) To be selected as one of the 8 out of thousand of applicants... WOW... Can not wait until this Saturday when we have the QK Club Meeting. Everyone one should call him King Kutz. And everyone is welcome to come to the club meeting. I know I just keep going on and on and on... But this is just so exciting of the eight, one is from SRW!! I have to get some ice for my body!

Yours truly, Remi

Can you believe it is already August! I feel like the summer has just flown by! Willy and I were talking and it seem like just a week ago we were at the ST SRW retreat. I guess the old saying is true... Time flies while you are having fun! Willy and I have been to Six Flags and Hurricane Harbor. And spending a lot of time at the Whitesboro's public pool. And I am not real sure and Willy says it is all in my head... Bu t I think I have seen the Sonic girls and DQ girls roll their eyes when they see us coming! I thought that was so RUDE! We love to go up there! There was some exciting news this week. I fell asleep with gum in my mouth and when I woke up it was in my hair! It took FOREVER to get it out. I thought I was going to cry when Willy said it might need to be cut out. We did get it after allot of screaming and mild cussing.

In other exciting news... There has been a lot of new things coming in from CHA. I have not got to look in all of the boxes. (There are so MANY!!)

And the SRW community crop is this Saturday and I am so looking forward to that!

Yours truly, Remi

CONTAINERS
by Trae Flesher

It doesn't matter the size and whether divided or not -
I must have a container just right for each spot!

I want containers to stack and containers that hang,
I must have containers to store everythang!

Metal, or plastic, or wood will be fine
Re-purposed or new - just don't make me whine!

"A lack of containers!" I shout (and use as my excuse)
for the clutter and chaos that spills from each room.

Do other crafters and scrappers have this same 'habit'?
Please tell me your list of container "MUST HAVE ITS"!

I'm getting my home studio moved and re-organized - I think it will be a never-ending project to some degree!  What organizational items could you just NOT live without?  I'm also wondering how you store your 12x12 paper . . . by color?  Theme?  Type?  Brand?  And why you picked that way of organizing your paper . . .

Looking forward to the comments,
Trae

Some scrap-booking tips

-- Don't get overwhelmed. Its so easy to do but I think when you first start out and see what is out there
-- Try and find what you like and not what others think you might like. You may have to try try try but it does happen
--get organized- I know that's easier said than done for most of us but you will see how much you can get completed or tell what you have when organized. For me keeping things simple is the easiest way.
-- Keep a journal or notebook around for great sayings from people and children (I have just started doing this and have a recent very cute story from my 3 year old--- My mother and I were just sitting at our kitchen table chatting as Campbell was playing in her room. She came out and saw a couple of dollar bills that were sitting on the counter and turned to us and said " That's the money you could be saving with Geico." It was totally out of the blue and I couldn't believe she said it. I told her she definitely watches too much TV and we had a good laugh about it)
--tear out those ideas from magazines instead of keeping the whole magazine- I tear the ideas I have out and put them in a composition notebook(which I decorated of course).
-- You don't have to use every photo. Now that one I have had a hard time over the six years I have been scrap-booking but recently I have let some pictures go to friends or family that I don't scrapbook or are bad photos. Its hard but in the long run less stress for you.
--Use what you have around you. I know I have used bowl or plates in a pinch to make a large circle or use boxes or post it notes to make a square shape. Think out of the box there are many things in our homes or wherever you may scrapbook that you could use as a shape.
--Here is a big tip. Use your own handwriting for journaling. It will show future generations how you wrote. Try and switch it out every so often from computer journaling.
-- Another tip about journaling is do it on the back if you don't like your handwriting.
-- Don't have a shadow for your favorite quickutz font. Trace around each letter with a fine-tipped pen. Leave some space along the edges for you to color in the edges.
-- If you are a cropper that likes to crop with others or out of your home. Remember to label your tools -- use stickers, tie a ribbon around an object, use those free address labels you get in the mail or cut out the junk mail address label and run through a xyron, sharpie is always a good idea as well.

I also wanted to thank RememberWhen for allowing me to design for them. I have had a great time and enjoyed working with all the ladies and Frank. Thanks again.
I cant wait to see who is on the next team and all the projects they will show. Good luck to those who are trying out.

Willy and I had such a great day today! First we went to Sonic and then we went swimming. We  waited 2 hrs after eating before we went swimming. I could not remember if it was one or two hours. It is better to be safe than sorry. I would hate for one of us to get a cramp. Talk about no fun! Willy really is out of control when he gets a cramp and then I try to have to work the cramp out.We filled up the sink in the bathroom. I did not feel like having a heat stroke today walking to the public pool. It is a nice pool and well worth the walk most day. I guess I was being lazy. The other thing is... It seems to be a bit to much for some people to see a small horse floating on her back. Now I really enjoy this myself. I LOVE SUMMER!!!

Yours truly, Remi

Good morning everyone! Summer is in full swing here in Texas! It was 103 yesterday and is going to be HOT again today! I will be inside.

I have some good news! Willy and I are making new friends and I know all of this sitting will pay off. Willy doesn't think so... I will let you all know how thing turn out.

Yours truly, Remi

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Seems like life works well that way.

Have any of you noticed that much like everything else in life, scrapbooking is cyclical?  What was once in, went out, and what was out, is “in” again.  Have you noticed any “old trends” becoming “new” again?  I know I have.  I’ve noticed that people are starting to break away (albeit slowly) from the one pic per page layouts.  Those pages that we ogled in the past, with their $50 in embellishments and the lone pic are becoming a thing of the past, though I suspect that the trend will be coming around….again.

I know that in the past, stickers were “en vogue”.  Then they fell out of everyone’s good graces.  Now, I see more and more stickers being put out by companies to coordinate with their “lines”.  I was never a big fan of stickers in the past, but I’m giving them a go this time around.

Stamping on layouts was something I used to do, then I suddenly stopped.  Now, I’m starting to do it once again, especially with the discovery of those wonderful Copic markers.

So, are there any trends that you see returning?  Do you still have some of the stuff in your “stash” that you’ll go digging up once again?  Do you even follow trends?

What are your thoughts?

Frank

1 die many choices

Time to grab your dies and think out of the box :-) I took the Star Burst Die (http://www.shoprememberwhen.com/catalog/item/4008966/6828728.htm) and used the cloud to make a tree and a cupcake!!!! Come on peeps lets see what else we can come up with. Thanks and have fun - Kathy   CUPCAKE: To make the cupcake just cut the "cloud" in a light beige color and cut a square in pink. Round the edges of the square for the bottom of the cupcake and place the cloud on top for the top of the square. Your cupcake is complete :-) TREE: To make the tree cut the "cloud" in green and cut a triangle shape in brown. The triangle shape will become the trunk of the tree. Place the cloud on top of the triangle shape and your tree is complete :D
