Switcharoo

It was time for a little switcharoo at the store. If it stays the same for too long, I get bored and I love featuring an item that has gotten "hidden." It was also time to make room for a whole slew of new stamps. Just so many cute new ones I could not resist. I'll have a separate stamp post but here is a teaser of some of the new vignettes at Paper Crown.



I bet someone is at the zoo today since the weather is cooler!


Stephanie's coloring sheet are a Paper Crown favorite. Printed on quality paper so they take watercolors, pens, paint well 


Perfect for those summer road trips


One Canoe 2 a new favorite!

How about a fun 4th of July pinwheel- so easy to make






 Don't forget to sign up for classes.
 
 I added quite a few this week and they are great.
 
 Perfect relaxing activity for a hot summer day.

Guest Artist Julie Haymaker Coming in July

One of my wishes for 2017 was to have a special guest artist come to Paper Crown each month. We have had an impressive collection of old friends such as Stephanie Ackerman and Terri Brush and new friends who feel like they have been here for years such as Colleen Moody and the adorable Jenn McGlon.


I'm excited to announce that Julie Haymaker will be at the store for three days in July teaching her whimsical style of jewelry making with her wonderful twist - shrink charms. In the past, we have used shrink on paper dolls and various projects but I think this might be our first time with jewelry!

This spring Julie came out with wonderfully handy wooden molds that make forming the shrink a breeze. We will be utilizing Julie's new molds in class and will have our first shipment at the store arriving soon.

If you haven't seen the class samples, they are on display at the store and the detailing is amazing. Unfortunately, sometimes photos just can't capture all the beauty of a project. You need to come see these beauties in person!

Join us for a fun weekend creating something I bet you have never done before. For those of you who follow the store from out of town, this is the perfect opportunity to experience a wonderful weekend of Paper Crown. Sign up for all three of Julie's classes and you will receive a 30% off shopping for the entire weekend. According to our dear friend Nan, this is one class you don't want to miss!
