2011 Great Lakes Mega Meet-FINALLY

Banner Susie whipped up with doilies, GORGEOUS & everyone LOVED it!

I know, I know, we have been back from the 2011 Mega Meet for well over a week, now.  Blame it on me, the new girl (Candy) and my new camera and my new photo editing program......not to mention my utter exhaustion from partaking in the fun that was Mega Meet.  In fact, not sure that I, or any of us for that matter, have completely recovered.........however, my exhaustion is NOT the excuse for leaving out photos of myself ;)

If you don't know what Great Lakes Mega Meet is, it is a huge, annual, convention held in Novi, MI and it's full of pure, unadulterated  scrapbooking Heaven!  Regional and local shops, national vendors, lots of super door prizes, crops, classes, and 1000's of ideas & inspiration from all over.  Everyone who has a passion for scrapbooking, card making or just about any paper craft just HAS to attend Mega Meet at least once!  The good news is, if you missed Mega Meet, never fear, this year the organizers of Mega are planning a Mini Meet in Toledo, OH on November 18th & 19th at the Seagate Centre downtown!  The even better news.......Scrap Happy is going to be a vendor at the 1st annual convention!!!!!  We will keep you updated on registration information as we get it, we want you ALL to come see us.

We spent the first day setting up and for all our hard work we had a beautiful booth.

Susie, taught 3 classes each day with the exception of the last..........there just wasn't enough time.  Of course, all her students loved her and her kits, I mean, seriously, who wouldn't?  Sharon & Cathy worked on make~n~takes,

 I manned the register,

and the infamous & faithful Ron,

husband of Susie, tamed the colony of ladies swarming the t-shirts that just so happened to be THE talk of Mega Meet.  Young & old alike were buzzing about our t-shirts, so many ladies came back two or three times to get more or get another as gift for her lucky friend!  It was so fun.....well, until we got back to the hotel at night and had to make more and more and more t-shirts.............

This was our room, ohhhhhhh, about 2am.......=D  Yes, that is our Susie hiding back there..........=D

It was a fabulous, albeit, exhausting weekend, we met so many nice people, got lots of new people signed up for store info, saw gorgeous works of creativity, networked with other vendors and most importantly got lots of fabulous ideas running through our heads.  So many awesome things are coming up in the months ahead at Scrap Happy, classes, product, crops, and SO much more, a lot of it is inspired by our annual trip to Mega Meet.  We hope you are signed up for our email list or have friended us on facebook.  There will be lots of important info coming to you in the days weeks ahead.  Spread the word, get your friends to sign up for the blog, email and/or facebook.......there may just be something in it for you!

Hope to see you soon! Susie www.scraphappyohio.com store hours Mon-Wed 10-6 Thurs/Fri 107 Sat 10-4 Sun 12-6 Karen Burniston Saturday June 11, 2011     First...a word from Karen:    I love pop-ups! I love the feeling of accomplishment I get when I create something interactive out of paper. I love the look of surprise on a person's face when he or she opens up a card and something unexpected happens. I love creating and teaching pop-ups more than I love Agatha Christie mysteries, malted milk balls and reality TV! (And that says a lot!) My background is in civil engineering, and I am grateful for my CAD skills every time I design a new pop-up template or mechanism. In 2009 I licensed my designs to Sizzix to be made into dies to fit in their Big Shot die cutting machines. The dies are a fabulous way to make pop-ups - no more cutting and scoring by hand! Besides being a pop-up enthusiast, I'm also a wife to John and a mother to twins Karl and Emma. We have a high-maintenance Puggle named Lucy who likes to eat paper piercers. After a decade of living in beautiful Colorado we moved in June 2010 to Katy, Texas. Yes, I did say June. Yes, it really IS hot in the summer! I've taught scrapbooking classes all over the world and it's such a rewarding feeling when a student starts the class saying "I can't make that!" and ends the class saying "I just made that!" I've got a passion for pop-ups. Watch out . . . it's contagious! Find out more about me on my blog:www.karenburniston.typepad.com

Time for some new layouts!

Happy Sunday evening, everyone.  Our illustrious leader & the heart and soul behind Scrap Happy, Susie, FINALLY took some "me" time for herself and cropped her little heart out, albeit alone and without her cherished Chestnut Roan chalk ink (do I hear the collective "awwwwwwwwww"?), but the results are nonetheless gorgeous and inspired.  She, of course, used her favorite muses & two of the super fun new Summer lines from Echo Park and Simple Stories.  Both are now available at the store and honestly, couldn't be more darling and different from each other.  Echo Park's Summer Days collection is full of bright, vivid, fun colors and icons like ferris wheels & popsicles that are so traditionally associated with Summer, while Simple Stories' 100 Days of Summer line has much more muted and soft vintage colors that take one back to a more fond and nostalgic time.  Both are equally gorgeous and and OH-SO-FUN to play with, come check them out!  Not only are they great for their intended season, Summer, but they are both very versatile and can be used year 'round!
