Welcome Special Guest, Candice Carpenter!

Saturday, May 12th
10-1
Join us as we host the incomparable Candice Carpenter. This OC girl is one of the latest up and coming stars of the scrapbook world. She is widely followed online on her blog and via twopeasinabucket. She has been esteemed by such greats as Teresa Collins and Michelle Hill. Candice has quite a following up in OC and Ever After is pleased to be the first San Diego store to host her. Her unique style coupled with her sweet personality will make her mini book one of the must-take classes in May.

“The Perfect Lady”
Roses and Scrolls…ribbon and tulle…gems and glitter…pink, orange, teal and cream…all elements of “The Perfect Lady”. Join Candice for a fabulous project that celebrates that special lady in your family. Be it your mother, your grandmother, your sister, your daughter…or even yourself…this project will capture beauty, elegance and history. Dust off that box of heritage photos in the closet. Bring them back to life with color and style. Modern day photos can easily be incorporated as well.

A Bouquet of Fresh Products
You’ll want to stay posted to our blog and website for the latest shipments arriving daily this April. We’re poised to receive a great bounty of new lines from a variety of manufacturers, including:

K&Company, our biggest order at the last trade show. You’ll love every last bit of the new product lines. Especially the new GIRL SCOUTS LINE. Even if you don’t have a Girl Scout in your immediate circle, you’ll want to check out the flowerful and fanciful paper and sticker designs.
Creative Imaginations, our second biggest order at the last trade show. This is what happens when you group together some of the brightest artists of the industry…you end up with a ton of wonderful collections, many of them theme specific.
Daisy D’s, our very first order of our pre-trade show events. Beacon Hill and Chasing Butterflies are just marvelous. Hurry, it will fly!
All My Memories, our third largest order at the last trade show. Don’t miss the all new Totally Cool Totes, including the pink/camo version (and they have spinner bases now!) Camera bags, digital camera purses, and super savvy and sophisticated new shoulder and rolling totes are sure to change the face of scrapbook organization.

DID YOU KNOW?
Ever After now carries the Entire Line of BE-Bare Elements from Creative Imaginations. Ever After is the first retailer in the nation to carry the full line of bare home décor pieces. We’re so excited about it, that we created two bookcases full of completed projects using BE items in our Studio. Our talented Design Team created several of the pieces and some are on loan from the one and only Miss Marah Johnson.

A SPRING PINK TOOL INVASION!
This Spring look for a bevy of new scrapbook tools of the trade. Here are just a few to whet your appetites:

Scraparatus, by Karen Foster Designs, is the tool you’ve been dreaming of. With one simple motion it die cuts, punches holes, sets eyelets and more. And, it’s pink!
Cutterfly, by EK Success, is the woman’s all-purpose “leather man”. This little pocket-size product has eleven tools in one: spring action scissors, cut rotary blades, distress tool, paper piercer, spring action needle nose pliers, retracting ruler, tweezers, emboss stylus, keychain, rub-on tool and screwdriver. And, it’s pink too!
The Tape Writer, by Around the Block, is cute, compact and pink! Make beautiful labels, great for quick captions on pages or sweet sentiments on cards. What makes this one different than the standard office version? For one it has interchangeable font wheels. For two it has fun colored refill tapes. Sure to be a big hit.
The Tag Curler, by Making Memories, can be used to embellish ribbon, trims, raffia, fibers and more with lovely, perfectly placed tags. It’s not pink but it sure is a nifty tool, especially for those of us who love our ribbon!

THE ULTIMATE TOOL: THE QUICKUTZ SILHOUETTE
For those of you are still on the fence about switching to Electronic Die Cutting Machines, the pot just got sweeter. If you purchase a Silhouette before April 30th, Ever After will give you a QuicKutz Download Card for FREE (a $50 value!) PLUS, you’ll get your card stamped for $340! (can’t use $20 sbc card toward purchase of the Silhouette) If you haven’t seen the new machine in action, stop by for a FREE demo today. You’ll be hooked!

Note the savings: Most papers start at .65 or .70 cents and some are doublesided which run more! Think of the savings on a grab bag of ten! They usually go fast. Hurry in for best selection.
