Make 'n Take at Scrapbook Royalty Slumber Crop - March 14

Aren't the 3X4 Cover-Alls the cutest? This one will be the make 'n take at Scrapbook Royalty's Slumber Crop coming up March 14-15 in San Marcos, CA. All proceeds from this MnT will benefit the Cancer Coping Center and the Boys & Girls Club of San Marcos. If you don't know about Scrapbook Royalty, you should take a minute to check them out. They conduct charitable crops for noble causes, and have raised $$$ for numerous charities. It's an amazing way that scrappers can craft and give back at the same time. If you are so inclined, click on the DONATE button on their website - any amount is appreciated - and thanks!

And, if you can't partake in the MnT, take a look at our latest video. It takes you through the steps of the Cover-All MnT at CHA in January. We had the rivet setting hammers POUNDING at our booth! Leave a comment - and three random winners will get one of the following: a bottle of Zutter rivets, a Teresa Collins stamp, or a set of Zutter Acrylic Covers! We will pick the winners on St. Patrick's Day, March 17!

CHA Videos from Scrapbook Dimensions

Here's another fun, quickie video from CHA last month from Scrapbook Dimensions. Their video team was visiting a variety of exhibitors at the show and checking out the new products. It was exciting to do this, and have editor-in-chief Cindy Wyckoff behind the camera. I can't help but get a little giddy when I get to interact with people whom I've read or whose work I have followed. What is it about getting scrapbook-star struck?!?!? Anyway, check out all their CHA videos here. They were sure covering a lot of territory and thanks to these videos I get to see a bunch of stuff I missed! Leave Cindy some comments and tell her hiya from the Zutter Zisters!

I don't remember this girl being so tall, but I look like a midget next to her!!

CHA SheNANigans!!

We have been having lots of fun at CHA in Anaheim this week. Tomorrow is the last day....and yes, my feet are sore. But it is so great to meet our retailers, designers and Bind-it-All friends from around the world!

This is how the booth looks at one end. We have a nice wall of product displays and a whole host of roll-up floor banners with the specials and product features. This banner shows the THREE new products at this show....BIND-IT-ALL AROUND THE WORLD idea book, the DISPLAY-IT-ALL mini album display stand (I will blog on that soon), and the SPINNER ALBUM KIT. All the new items are shipping in March (actual shipping date may vary!!)

There is lots of excitement for BIND-IT-ALL AROUND THE WORLD, and it was fun to have some of the designers see their projects in print -- in the ONE copy we have on display...and it was tied to the wall so it couldn't walk away!

Donna Salazar of Prima has three projects in the book!

This is Jennifer Priest of the Zutter Zisters BIA DT - she helped demo at the show too!

Sally Lynn MacDonald is a long way from home in Connecticut; she has a project in the book, and is on the Zutter Zisters BIA DT.

This is Helena, a retailer in Sweden. She isn't in the book, but she KNOWS our Zutter Zister BIA DT member Jenny Svensson in Sweden, who IS in the book! We both love Jeja!! Yeah Jenny!!

This is Faye Warriner of Nevada - she has two projects featured in the book!

And, if you can't tell from the looks of these pictures. I very rarely take a photo that is serious.....just seriously goofy. If you can't have fun at "work" (wait....is this really work??? nooooo!!), then why bother. It's always fun at Zutter!

More soon!

CHA Sneak Peek! Spinner Album Kit!

Take your custom binding projects for a SPIN!!!!This is one of the new products we are introducing at CHA this week in Anaheim. It’s so COOL for a lot of different reasons! But without further delay….this is the SPINNER ALBUM KIT!!

It is a completely customizable spinner album, on a completely customizable wooden spinning base. The album itself is bound together with the Bind-it-All, using the large 1 ¼” Owire, which fits over the dowel in the center. It is so fun to put together and has endless creative possibilities. Take a look at the video .

Isn't it AWESOME!!?!?!? The kit comes with an unpainted wooden base with dowel, 10 - 4X4 tabbed chipboard pages, 10 - 4X4 square chipboard pages, 40 pages 4X4 white cardstock, and a length of Zutter Owire. YOU take it from there and make an album to suit a theme, room decor or your mood. What fun!!

Now, another reason why this is so cool is because this kit is based upon the winning project in the Zutter project contest by Vicki Flinchum, one of our current Zutter Zisters Bind-it-All Design Team members. Vicki entered the contest long before she was part of the DT. Her project won over the judges, selecting her as the grand prize winner of the contest, and her project (and four of her other projects) are featured in the upcoming Bind-it-All Around the World Idea book. The picture above is how it appears in the book. Now the Spinner Album Kit will be one of the new releases at CHA – AND her project is featured on the product packaging. We are so proud of Vicki and pleased to have her on the creative team!

Ok, Vicki….you can bask in your glory and talk all about it now! Poor thing has had to keep it a secret up until now!!!

Watch for the Spinner Album Kit in your local stores and on our website. Coming soon…..
