Hello! So glad that you had time to drop by...you'll be glad you did, too!

If you have ever stopped by the store, you've seen Memory Box products...the Color of the Month card sets, gorgeous stamps, papers, cards, and envelopes...lots of paper crafting goodness!

Would you believe they have even more in store for you?

Welome the new Memory Box Die Collection!

They are 100% steel dies made in the USA, compatible with most die cutting systems. They are everything we expect from Memory Box - wonderful quality and gorgeous designs!

Here's a peek at a few of the border designs...

and the new 6x6 paper pack - Valise! Valise is colorful vintage printed on kraft cardstock. Perfect for those spring and summer projects, cards and layouts!

Some of the dies even match existing and new stamps. Do you have the Orchid Branch stamp?

Isn't Bubba Elephant so cute? I can just see him on baby announcements, zoo layouts, 'didn't forget' and 'remember' cards...I'm sure you've come up with a few ideas, too!

Here's another matching stamp and die - the scallop circle! And do you see the Butterfly Delights die? I LOVE this little bevy of butterflies...with a strip of scrap paper and few turns of the handle, I can have 15 mini bits of delightfulness to adorn any project. (There is a butterfly border, but you'll need to stop by the store soon to see it!)

Are you still sitting here reading? I've got one last peek to show you...

Button dies! Border and individual, in 4 sizes. How clever is that?

Here's an idea:

Scrap paper + Dazzling Diamonds = Customized Button Embellishments!

(Don't forget to let us know if there is something you see here that you want so you will be at the top of the list if there is something that we are out of stock of).

We have a "Stamp of the Month" for 40% off each any every month!!

We sure do. Every month we have a new Great Impressions Stamps display board full of cards. Each of the cards uses the 40% off featured stamp and other fun stamps, too.
We have all of the other stamps used on the cards as well, just in case you want to create some of the cards at home yourself.

Shown here is the May board, featuring some of our furry friends (with personality, of course)! 

 And, there is a photograph available each month of the Stamp of the Month display board,
"just in case" you have forgotten some of the fun cards you wanted to make by the time you actually sit down to create.

(Hmmmm, hope I am not the only one who gets sidetracked from time to time)

So, stop in and check out our 40% stamp each month - you will like what you see and the 40% savings, too!

Yep, you read that right - *Free *Free *Free...Stamping and Scrapbooking Basics Classes, that is!

Stopped by the store, intrigued by all the paper goodness, colors and bling? Overwhelmed by all the choices? Not sure where to start?

You've come to the right place...Simple Pleasures has classes just for you!

*Free Scrapbooking Basics

In this class you'll learn about adhesives, tools, papers, etc. Cathy will teach you everything you need to know to begin preserving your pictures and stories. You'll even complete a 2 page layout in class. (May bring 6-10 photos to get started!) Our next Scrapbooking Basics Class is on Tuesday, May 24 at 1:30pm - give us a call so we can reserve a space for you!

*Free Stamping Basics

You know we love our stamps! In this hands-on experience with Cathy you will learn about dye and pigment inks, cling, clear and wood mounted stamps and wonderful techniques that you will be able to use again and again to enhance all of your creative projects to include embossing, 3-D and more! We have a couple of Stamping Basics classes coming up, one on Tuesday, May 10 at 1:30pm and another on Tuesday, June 14 at 2pm. Do give us a call so we can reserve a spot for you!

Made a few pages already? Stamped a lot of cards? Not really a newbie to the stamping or scrapbooking community? If you enjoy learning and creating in a fun, relaxed environment be sure to stop by Simple Pleasures and take a look at our "Wall of Wonder" full of samples of the upcoming classes. We offer project based classes that include cards, albums, scrapbook pages and even altered art and home decor. In project based classes you finish class with your cards, pages, album, etc.

There are also technique based classes where you learn how to get 'that look' and what to use 'that product' for. Technique classes are usually hands-on classes where you get to experiment with products, new ideas, share old ones and leave class with samples and directions, so that you can continue using those techniques learned in class.

Be sure to pick up a copy of our current schedule of classes or click on the "Class Schedule" link under the "Classes" heading to see a quick description of each of this month's classes! 

Sign up for any of our classes is easy! Stop by the store or give us a call to reserve your space. Be sure to sign up early, as many of our classes fill up quickly. 

*Free Stamping and Scrapbooking Basics Classes require a $5.00 nonrefundable deposit to reserve your space for each class. You will receive a $5.00 Store Certificate upon completion of each class. 

Come to our "no frills" crop this Friday from 4pm - 10pm!
Give us a call to reserve a spot or two and gather your crafting goodies ...

Hope to see you Friday Nite!
