Stamps and More by Eleanor

May 2008

Hi Friends,
Since we have a BONUS 5^th Saturday in May on the 31^st, we have scheduled an extra CARDS AND MORE all day workshop. It is filling up fast so call if you want to attend. The card samples that Linda is designing are beautiful and varied. Continually updated, there are about 30 sample cards for you to choose from. It will also be a BONUS day for the lucky winner of our monthly drawing. If you are planning to come that day why not sign up for the Card Workshop too! Remember the drawing will be held here at NOON on May 31^st.

CONVENTION TICKETS have arrived. Time is flying by and the Greenville Stamp Convention will be here before we know it. Officially called the GREENVILLE RUBBER STAMP AND PAPER ARTS FESTIVAL. It will be held at the Carolina First Center (formerly known as the Palmetto Expo Center). Tickets are $6.00 in advance and one advance ticket is good for both days. If you wait and get a ticket at the door it will be $8.00 for Saturday and $6.00 for Sunday. If you are planning to attend be sure to reserve your tickets here for pickup on your next visit and save some money. We are planning late hours and special events so stay tuned. Check back HERE for more info.

CUTTLEBUG samples are everywhere in the store these days. IF you have a CUTTLEBUG machine now and want to preorder some of the new FALL and WINTER designs, now is the time to do it. Come in the shop and look at the new designs and get yours reserved ASAP. First shipments are expected to arrive in July. IF you can’t get in to see them in person, just send an email to angie@stampsandmorebyeleanor.com , put NEW CUTTLEBUG DESIGNS in the subject line and she will send you an attachment showing the ones you can expect to see this FALL AND WINTER. If you don’t have a CUTTLEBUG MACHINE now you will definitely want one soon. We have also been using the Spellbinders NESTABILITIES cutting dies with the Cuttlebug, what more could a stamper want. Except perhaps to win a billion dollars to buy it all!

I don’t get out to other stores very often, so I have to rely on you to tell me what is happening out there. But, just this week we have had not one, but several customers from some pretty big cities tell me that we had the best selection of CUTTLEBUG folders and die cuts that they have ever seen. So please help us spread the word and know that we will keep trying to keep the variety and quantity that you expect when you visit here. We have already sent in our first PRE ORDER for the new Fall and Winter designs and our rep said her supervisor’s eyes about popped out when he saw how many we were ordering. I’m telling you now…. You are gonna love these designs.

GREAT IMPRESSIONS stamp of the month for June will be here next week, and because of the overwhelming response we have already sent in a second order and the first one hasn’t even gotten here yet. The JUNE program features a Beach, Seashore theme. The new stamps will be here just in time for all those summer cards and thoughts of the Sea! We are expecting them by Friday, May 30 if not sooner. Don’t worry if you pre order any of them we will call you when they arrive.

Don't forget to check out the MAY COUPON!!
