7Gypsies Accordion Folder Album

With the economic crisis scaring the population into a coupon-cutting frenzy, we came up with a beautiful and interesting way to file those coupons! Innovated using long envelopes and a bit of chipboard, this filing system also uses 7 Gypsies paper and accessories to make it look even classier! It could also be used to file other important items, such as receipts or recipes. This project can be replicated and expanded using more envelopes, depending on the purpose! Ideal for beginner scrapbookers ready to advance to intermediate level!

Losing interest?

2009-01-18T16:17:00.004-05:00

It seems that scrapbooking is slowly fizzling out in Quebec. In the last year, several stores have closed, including my own back in June 2008. It would be interesting to know if the scrapbooking bug has left Quebec. It seems like people just aren't into scrapbooking anymore and are moving on or leaving it behind. Or is it a result of there being less outlets to obtain supplies?

On an international level, it seems that attendance of both manufacturers and retailers at the major scrapbooking trade shows has also declined in the last couple of years. The current economic situation may be playing a role in this trend.

Have you lost the scrapping fever? Leave me your comments and be entered into a draw for a selection of American Craft 4ft ribbon spools.

Happy New Year! Bonne année!

Je souhaite à tout le monde une bonne année. Je vais poster sur le blog cette semaine.

Merry Christmas! Joyeux Noël!

2008-12-25T17:16:00.004-05:00

I'd like to take the opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and I hope to see you in the new year!

J'aimerai vous souhaiter un joyeux noël et j'espère vous voir l'année prochaine!

New Year's Eve Crop?

2008-12-09T04:16:00.002-05:00

In 2006 I held a crop on December 31st to ring in the New Year. Everyone came in their pyjamas and we cropped from 7pm to 4am or something like that. It was a potluck. Everybody brought something to eat or drink and we had champagne at midnight! We had a lot of fun.

I didn't do it last year but someone asked me if I would be willing to do it again this year. So... I'm taking a poll to see how many people would be interested in participating. Based on this poll, I will decide if there is enough interest.

The poll ends on December 26 so get your votes in!

Friday Night Crops - December only

2008-12-09T03:52:00.004-05:00

You can also reply to this post and I will update the post with the number of reservations for each day. We can accommodate up to 12 people each day. I will require a payment to reserve your spot. In the event that the crop is cancelled, your payment can be applied towards the next crop or it will be refunded.

Dates available:

Depending on my schedule in January, Friday night crops may be available. I will confirm at a later date.
