Good Morning Scrappers and Card-Makers.  My son Dan and his girl Lindsey attended prom this weekend and I wanted to share this picture with you.  We saw LOTS of "prom-goers" at Independence Grove on Saturday and they ALL looks so gorgeous.  I hope everyone had a safe and memorable prom this weekend.  Now, come on in THE BEE and SCRAP THOSE MEMORIES!!!!

We did wanted to  let everyone know that THE BEE will be on summer hours starting after Memorial Day.  We will be closed on Sundays during June, July and August.  Therefore, the ATC Jam dates have been changed to June 28th, July 19th and August 16th.  These will now be on Saturdays starting at 1pm.  Also, we do have a "FUN JAM" started again.  This time the theme is Months.  Please either call the store or look on the website for details.  This will be on Friday, July 11th from 6-9pm.  It should be lots and lots of fun.

On the scrappin' trail, everyone seems to be flying through their school spirit books.  We received our new order of page overlays and you won't believe how AWESOME they are.  The Buzz Lightyear is incredible!!!!  Also, lots of graduation and vacation overlays that will make your scrappin' a breeze.  Stop by and see all the designs we received. 

Congrats also to all the graduates from this weekend. Good luck on your next journey!!

Happy Scrappin'

Good morning Scrappers and CardMakers.  WOW!!!  We have really been buzzing at the Bee.  Everyone is doing such a great job on their school spirit books and I can only imagine how excited your children are going to be when they see the works of art you have created.  A big Congratulations to all the Grayslake Central and Grayslake North graduates on your commencement this weekend.  Especially our special friend, Lindsey!!!!  Good luck to everyone on your next exciting journey.  

We have some beautiful 12x12 and 8 1/2 x 11 metallic and pearlized papers that just arrived.  These papers are absolutely gorgeous for your prom pages or graduation invitations.  We have also created some fun 6x6 accordian books which make a great gift for graduates, friends, team members or coaches.  We've made them for full teams as senior gifts and everyone loves them.

Just a quick note to SAVE THE DATE!!!  Saturday, June 14th we will be having a trunk show with Laura from Bug-A-Wumps stamps.  This is a unique opportunity to purchase these stamps since they are not sold in any retail store.  Laura will be doing demonstrations with the stamps and you are SURE to full in love with them.  More details to follow.

Dan & Lindsey and Justin & Ashley and all the Wildcat prom - goers: Be safe, be gorgeous and have a blast at prom!! 

Happy Scrappin'

Okay, enough of this weather!!!!!  I need some vitamin C Sunshine!!!  Although, it never fails that every time one of my children have gone on the Springfield trip with school, it has been a lousy three days.  Poor kids.  But, and a big but, it is GREAT scrapbooking weather.  

Just a quick shout out to Libertyville's baseball and lacrosse teams that kicked butt last night.  Good job.  Especially to Troy Barton on a great pitched game.  I just wish the weather would be alittle better for all the spring sports.  Hopefully the weather is holding off for prom nights, graduations and parties.  

Just wanted to give everyone a Save a Date.  Saturday, June 14th we will be having a trunk sale for Bug-a-wumps rubber stamps.  They are just adorable and are NOT sold anywhere in the area except for stamp shows around the midwest.  We feel very flattered that we are the only store chosen to "show-off" these amazing stamps.  So, mark your calendars and don't miss out on this unique opportunity.

Also, our ATC clubs are going strong and more fun than ever.  Call the store for details if you want to start participating in this ever-popular card making extravaganza.  847-599-1292.

School spirit scrappers are still going strong.  Everyone is working so hard on their school albums and they are looking fabulous.  I'm quite sure kids will be as proud and peacocks to show off their books at graduation parties to friends and families.  I know mine will.

Happy Scrappin'

Good Morning scrappers one and all.  Looks to be a cruddy day.  Why not come by the store and scrap for a couple of hours.  It's a great way to spend a dreary day - actually doing something creative.  We don't have any classes today so the scrap tables are free, free, free.  We just received some new personalized papers for Woodland, Libertyville, Carmel, Lakes and couple of other schools that are awesome.  We try to stock up but I recommend getting them while you can since our personalized school items seem to fly off the walls this time of year.  We keep replacing things but it takes time.  We have some new "title" or "filler" pages that really help filling in when you only have one or three page layouts.  We like those double page spreads to match!!  Cindy R. finds some really unique and sometimes heart-wrenching poems.  So, check them out if you stop by.  Watching the weather, it looks to be a real "scrapper" of a weekend.  We already have a couple of ladies coming in to work tomorrow morning so why not join them for the day.  Hope to see you soon.

Happy Scrappin'

Good Morning Everyone.  I'm including this picture of our cheerleaders on the beach practicing for their performance in the Worlds Competition.  That is ALOT of cheerleaders and I thought you might enjoy seeing what I have been watching for the last couple of months.  Finally my trips around America have ended.  I almost felt like Matt Lauer the last couple weeks.  "Where in the World is Kelly Loucks" hehe.  Since I am so far behind with my scrapping the new page overlays we received are helping me catch up.  They are AWESOME.  Come by and take a peek.

We also have a great ATC card class coming up on May 10th.  It's a designer challenge and it is sure to be tons of fun.  Call the store or stop by for details.  Another upcoming stamp extravaganza is on June 14th.  We will be having a trunk sale from a lovely and fun new stamp company.  Watch for details!!!

I hope everyone is having great luck in their spring sports and getting prepared for graduations, weddings and all the fun stuff the spring and summer bring.  

Happy Scrappin'
