Stacy's Scrap Shack

Hey Sweet Peeps!

We are taking a break on the blog for a while. Our kids are out of school (WOO HOO) and we are enjoying the SUN, since it finally made a debut in Oregon.

We will get back into blog postings in August. You can fan our facebook page at www.facebook.com/stacysscrapshack and see all the new wonderful stuff coming into the shop while we take our summer break!

Play. Enjoy the weather. Enjoy your family, your kids, your health. Create. Imagine.

Happy Summer!

Ramblings and such

Lush album

My Minds Eye recently released this beautiful line called "Lush 2". The line comes in four colors and is completely monochromatic.

We carry all the colors: navy, turquoise, orange, and magenta.

 
   

  
 


 Suzanne Sergi from My Minds Eye Design Team created this adorable project. 

 

 

 You can see the rest of this Mini-Album here. Remember at the shack we do custom ordering as well as shipping it right to your door. So next time your in need of a product, give us a call 541-994-7002.

New Oregon Line

Remember the Oregon line I showed you last week? Well here's a layout I did with those products, and as you can see it really makes for a fun layout about Oregon. The stickers highlight Oregon Caves, Crater Lake, Coos Bay, Mt Hood, and much more!

 

My husband and I went on an adventure up north and stopped in numerous places, so the layout is a combination of many places in Oregon. I just love the stickers and brad elements.

 
 

Just for fun

This Oregon line we just got in is to die for! Ok...maybe I'm biased because I've been searching for the perfect paper for some pictures of my husband and I traveling around the state. This line is it!

It's by Stamping Station and I just love the Oregon map paper. The stickers highlight some of the best hot spots in Oregon, and the colors are wonderful. Can't wait to scrapbook our Oregon adventures!

 
 

And if you are looking for other travel papers, our collection takes an entire row! Papers, die cuts, stickers ... we got you covered!
 

Hide and seek . . .

Did you happen to notice in the back of the store these awesome paper packs we carry by My Mind's Eye? They come with 9 sheets of 12x12 double sided cardstock paper and a coordinating die-cut sheet. I selected these two to showcase

"Good Day Sunshine Girl, and Boy".

 

Can you seek them out before there all gone? 

Scrap Shack for Sale

Hey Blog Followers!

I just wanted to let you know first that I am putting up the Shack for sale. IT IS NOT CLOSING! I will be here for sure until November 2013 if I don't find a buyer! I love this place, but I am finding it more and more difficult to be a mom to my two boys and own this store. This is what I debated last year, and while I went through store closing procedures my wonderful customers talked me out of it. This store is much needed in Lincoln City and on the Oregon Coast and it is fun. But because of my personality and work ethic, it is hard for me to balance it and being a single mom! And yes, I am still commuting 2 hours every day from McMinnville and that is hard as well!

If you or anyone you know might be interested in this business, you can drop me a line at [email protected] . This is not a desperate situation and I am not asking for pennies on the dollar. The store is performing like it has since its inception and clientele is being expanded since we decided to do more web outreach and social media. I will continue to give the store my all, like I have, but if someone is interested I will definitely talk to them. This store doesn't make millions either. It is hard work. The winters are slow and the summers are crazy. If someone is web savvy they could probably turn their winters into equally crazy as summers, which is what I hope to do with some help! Also, it is really important that you like the Oregon Coast weather. 'Cause it is CRAZIER than inland weather.

I just wanted you to hear it from me first! And don't tell anyone I am closing, because I am not going anywhere. In fact, I will continue to grow this business and make it better and better, because that is what I want to do. Hugs.... Stacy

Zentangle

 Join the ZENTANGLE fun! What is it you ask?  Zentangle is an easy to learn method of creating beautiful images from repetitive patterns. It is a fascinating new art form that is fun and relaxing. It increases focus and creativity. Zentangle provides artistic satisfaction and an increased sense of personal well being. At first glance, a Zentangle can seem intricate and complicated. But, when you see how it is done, you realize how simple it is, and how engrossing it can be.
