Welcome to our New Online Quarterly Newsletter!

Things are changing at Scrapbooker's Paradise and this new online newsletter will replace our traditional in-store printed newsletter. This allows us to provide great articles for you, color pictures of amazing projects and more. The quarterly newsletter will be archived on our site under "Store Newsflashes" so you can always refer back to everything that will be happening at the store over this quarter! Coupons will continue to be emailed out to you for upcoming events and in addition we have printed copies of the coupon sheet in the store. We hope you like our new format!

Learn to Scrapbook Three Different Ways at
Scrapbooker's Paradise

Scrapbooker's are always looking for the newest and greatest products, techniques, tools and at Scrapbooker's Paradise we bring you new fun ways to scrapbook with Traditional, Digital and Fusion scrapbooking supplies.

Digital scrapbooking involves using your computer to quickly and easily create pages.  Although many people think there is a "steep" learning curve involved (such as learning Photoshop) we have several easy drag and drop computer software programs.  If you can use a mouse, you can start scrapbooking digitally!  

Fusion scrapbooking involves creating elements of your page using easy drag and drop templates, quickly resizing and flipping photos, changing the color of elements on the page (or even the paper color) and then printing the project out and embellishing with all the great rhinestones, flowers, ribbon, brads, buttons, chipboard and more that we carry in the store in our traditional scrapbooking section.  Thus the name FUSION - a blend of traditional and digital.   

Come into our stores this fall and learn these fun new techniques to add to your scrapbooking "tool box".

Heritage Makers is featured in the December 2008
"O" Magazine as one of Oprah’s All-Time Favorite Gifts!
