Today is the day!

Welcome to the the Summer Passport!
Today is the first day of the 2009 Passport Program.
We have so much in our stores for you to see and we can't wait to meet all of the traveler's.

Please remember to check with each store for summer time hours, several will be closed on Saturday July 4th.

There is a list of stores in the left hand column with live links to all of the stores.

Enjoy your journey!

Time is running out

We have extended to registration window until July 1st to allow more people to sign up for the passport. The only drawback may be if you wait until the last minute we may run out of albums from the initial order. Not to worry though, we will make sure you still get one.

All of the stores have created their pages to go in your album and you can stop in any one and see how the finished project will look. It's going to be loads of fun!

Just a reminder

Just a reminder that sign ups are underway for the 2009 Summer Passport. You must sign up before June 21 (Father's Day). We are ordering custom made albums for each participant and we need to know the exact number in order to prepare them. We are also making the page kits from scratch which takes a bit of time. In order to have everything ready for you on day one we have to cut off sign ups by June 21.

This is going to be a whole lotta fun and you don't want to miss it!

Registration begins

The registration for our 2009 Summer Passport Event will be open from Mother's Day (May 10) until Father's Day (June 21). Several stores will be closed on Mother's Day so you can begin registration on Monday May 11 at those stores.

We are all busy at work creating the pages for the custom made 6 x6 tabbed chipboard album that is included with your purchase of the Passport. I hope to get some photos up soon. Meantime here is a sneak peak at what we have planned.

The album is designed to hold the pages from all 9 stores. If you are unable to visit all nine, don't worry. All of the stores will carry the papers used in the project, so you can pick up the colors you are missing and make your own pages to fill in.

We have also designed the album to open from the bottom to be displayed on the optional acrylic stand. However, it is easy enough to turn the pages before adhering them down to create a traditional side opening album if you prefer.

As for your shopping experience... all 9 stores are stocking up on new and exciting products! I can assure you that even if you go to all 9 stores, you will find something different at each one! That is one of the great things about independent stores vs. chain stores; each store has it's own unique style and product mix.

We are looking forward to a summer filled with new friends.

Get excited for a Summer of Fun!

Some of your favorite scrapbook stores have joined together to offer you a

Summer Passport event!

With summer just around the corner we know that your travels are just about to begin. Whether you journey near or far, a great scrapbook store could be on the way to one of your events. Stop in and visit a local store and check out all their great products and services. There are wonderful stores all around our area and each one has different things to offer you!

Here’s how the program works:

Stop into one of the 9 participating stores to register for the program between May 11^th and June 21st. Your $19.99 Registration gets you a 6x6 Chipboard Album, coupons to all of the participating stores and your “Passport”. Take your coupons and passport to the participating stores anytime this summer between July 1^st and September 6^th. Each store will stamp your passport and when you’ve visited 7 of the 9 stores you can leave your completed passport for entry into a raffle to win a prize package filled with $100 of Scrapbooking & Paper Crafting Supplies! Each store will have a winner! At each store you’ll also be able to use your coupon for a 20% discount off of your purchase and an exclusive two page layout kit for your new 6x6 album, complete with instructions. By the end of the summer you could have a jumpstart on scrapping your summer trips and activities.
