Klothes Kloset

This is a public service announcement I said I would pass along.....if there's anyone out there that's got a bag of clothes in their trunk, basement, garage, etc. just waiting to drop off at the Goodwill.....this would be a great place to donate this time, instead......

The United Methodist Open Door’s clothing ministry, the Klothes Kloset, located in Wichita, has virtually ran out of clothes. There are people waiting in line to select clothing, and the only items are what are left on the racks. There’s nothing in the sorting room waiting to go out. The rooms where they store the extra clothing are empty. We need YOUR help! Please pass the word that the Klothes Kloset desperately needs clothing- infants, children’s, women’s, men’s- and bedding, too. Clean, gently used or new clothing donations are accepted.

You can drop off donations at the following locations:

Student Union BOA & BOE

Hubbard Center BOE

Secretarial Center BOE

Educare BOE

This clothing drive is sponsored by the Butler Community College Grizzly Ambassadors. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Lacey Harbutz at 316-708-5452 or Katie Naccarato at 316-993-2104.

Let's SeE ThOse SPaCes!!!  I want to have a posting frenzy this week to make up for my absence over Spring Break!!!

Here I Am!!!

Ohhh I have missed you guys soo much!!  I am sooo sorry I have been MIA this past week (you would think with Spring Break I would have TONS of time to post, huh?!?!).  I was MONDO busy taking care of my little girlies and dealing with a few EXTENDED family things---and the next thing I knew it was byebye Spring Break and HEEELLLOOO get our booties back to school time!  Cropping unfortunately took a HUGE backseat this week to mommyhood, boohoo!  Well, I am back...ready for SPRING and ready for some reorganization and rejuvination!!! 


I am guessing you all saw the BEFORE video of my new little craft room.  Well, the process has been slow going and I haven't made much headway YET so I will be sure to be back with some footage as soon as there is some noteable progress!  Hey, do me a favor....do you have a crop space or closet?!?!  No matter what the condition:  nice and neat, messy, or a work in progress...send me a photo(s) @ dcurtis@usd357.k12.ks.us and I will post them on the blog!  You have seen Alicia's, Kathy's, and my space and now it is your turn!!!  Let's see where you work and OF COURSE we will do a drawing or two from any photo's submitted...a new little SOMETHIN for your crop space!!  Oooh that reminds me...I am working on a CITA blinkie for the blog so get your Attic blinkies/buttons put on your personal blogs cause I will be doing some drawing at the end of the week.  I will share the links with the proud blog supporters that I have gotten so far...THANKS LADIES, we truly appreciate your support.  Your love and loyality to Scrap*Funattic help to make us the BEST scrapbook store in the around!!! :)


I did go through my photos/videos this weekend and realized I hadn't posted this little clip from Krusty's bday/pj crop. 



It was a great time had by all--that is for sure!  If you haven't been to a pj crop you are missing out!!  12 hours of cropping 5pm to 5am for only $10!  Now I know some of you are saying 5AM!??!?!  But don't worry---you can leave whenever you get tired...we are all so different schedule wise (some of us need our beauty rest and others can't make it til the kiddos are in bed and go all night!!  It is NOTHING for Kate to roll in around midnight ready to get her crop on--true story!!!)  So get a few girlfriends rounded up and make it a date (for the 1st Saturday night of every month!!)  Hope to see you in a couple of weeks at our next all nighter!!!  besosbesos, dc

Oh - and here are the images that for SOME unknown reason didn't come through on our last blog about the Basic Grey Class - there is only ONE spot remaining in our class of 24 scrapper's!!  FIRST CLASS IS THIS SATURDAY 10:00am- Noon!!!  Here is the layout we're doing for MARCH......I'm not going to post the layouts that Renee has created with the scraps.....that's for YOUR EYES ONLY if you're in the class!!  Plus i want this to be a SURPRISE!!  (and YES janine - we DO have the layouts completed ha ha!!!!)  AND - just so ya know - you still have OOOODDDDLES of leftovers left even after Renee's examples!!! 

 AND here's the FREE album that you receive at the end of the 12 month class!!!  EXCLUSIVE for BGPoTM subscribers!!!Have a GREAT day everyone!!!  Have a green Beer FOR LeRoy AND me!! ;)

Basic Grey Page of the Month Class!

Goooooood Happy Monday to everyone!!  For those of us with kiddos in school - HAPPY SPRING BREAK WEEK!!  (also referred to the "I'm borrrrrrred week"!)  We hope that the weather gets super nice and sunny so that we can send them OUTSIDE to have Mother Nature entertain them for an hour or two!!!!

I wanted to hop on here and visit with everyone about the Basic Grey Page of the Month Class.  We've had some great feedback and response to this class and are SO SUPER happy that Basic Grey has offered this great idea to independent retailers!  I'm going to break down the items that you receive in your KIT, and then tell you what you get from US with your $25.00 monthly class fee!! 

Each monthly kit contains various contents of items....it varies with each layout - but THIS month for example, you get:

*10 sheets of Basic Grey Double Sided paper from their Origins line

*an entire pkg of Origins Paper Clips

*Pkg of Origins Monograms (stickers)

*Pkg of chip "pieces" (diecut shapes)

****THAT IS A BUNCH OF STUFF!!!!! 

+++PLUS!!  If you complete all 12 classes (or kits!) you receive the Exclusive FREE album from Basic Grey upon completion of the class!! That's a REALLY nice BONUS, I think!!

Scrap*Funattic is going to offer THIS to our Basic Grey Page of the Month students:

*We are going to teach the layout AS A CLASS!!  We've already done the instructor kit that they send, we've learned what works and what doesn't - so we've taken the hard part out for you and we're going to do the layout WITH you in class!!!  (no worries, you can still have the BG instructions if you miss a class!)

*You have a LOT of scraps left over!!  A LOT!  So, we've created 2 additional layouts ON TOP of the layout that BG has created!!!  We're going to give you COLOR COPIES of these layouts as WELL as complete these layouts with you IF time allows!!!!  (and this includes the cardstock that we use for them as well!)

*You will receive a 10% discount on ANYTHING that you purchase in the store on the day of the class!!

*You can pay for the BG class on a month to month basis, there is no "downpayment" to insure your album in the end!  If you pay for all 12 classes throughout the year, you receive the free album at the end! Simple as that!!!

We started out with the inital order of class kits (which is 12)...we filled those spots rather quickly, and have since ordered an additional 12 kits for this class!!  We only have TWO SPOTS OPEN FOR THIS CLASS!!!  (at the time of this post!)  If you are considering taking this class (or just reserving a kit!), you need to act SUPER LIGHTNING SPEEDY FAST!!  The class will be held the THIRD SATURDAY OF EACH MONTH from 10:00-NOON!!!  This way you can pencil the class in for each month!!!

We hope this clears up any confusion, and also helps to show you how we have teamed up WITH Basic Grey, but have put our own little "Attic Love" into it!!!!

Have a great Monday!!  And hey - did you check out our BUTTON on the sidebar AND our BLINKIE?!!?  (i'll have the code for the blinkie for you soon!)

Organizing with Alicia "LIVE from dc's House!!!"

HEEELLLOOOOO ladies!!  How is your weekend going?  So far so good here and I just got an energizing BOOST cause Alicia just came by to lend me her EXPERTISE!  I feel pumped and ready to get started!!  Her are a couple of short clips to give you an idea of what Alicia does when she comes to consult on a space.  Keep in mind this is just STEP ONE of the process that will take several days to complete because my space is a "clean slate" at this point. 





Okay so there you have it...my space at it's finest---now you can see why Alicia's help was IMPERATIVE!!  She has given me homework and I am going to jump on it over the course of the next day or two and we will be back soon with the next phase of our process.  I can't WAIT to make the most of my new space!
Thanks A.DAY!!  You ROCK girl!!  besos besos d.c.

Chicks In The Attic April

Oooh what FUN did we have today!!!  I got to hang out with my girls...renee, l.fox, and steff all the while working on layouts for the CITA April kit.  We had a Blast hanging out and even got a visit from our friend BEYONCE!! a sweet treat from the ML!!  Here is a tiny peek at what we were "workin hard for the money" on (to quote Babs Brown!)

3/50 Project

Have you seen this?  Are you a supporter?  I know I am!!  Take a MINUTE...click HERE and read all about this WONDERFUL project!  I don't know about you, but this DEF makes me stop and think...in these TOUGH economic times... where does my hard earned $$$ go?   What businesses are HURTING because of our economy???  what businesses would I be HEART SICK without???  (and just so you know...this is just ME dc... here with this, saying that we need to SUPPORT the Attic and other small businesses out there right now!)  It takes ALL of us to do our part to not let our LSS and others fall through the cracks (don't stress...the Attic is FINE, again it is just me DC wanting you to be aware and THINK about where your dollars go...the big box stores or our BELOVED Attic and others?!!?)  I don't want to be a Debbie Downer...we just HAVE to all pull together and get through this roughness.  I am doing my part, ARE YOU??  besosbesos, dc

A WORLD of Ideas...

My scrapbooking friends are always asking me...where did you get that idea? or how did you learn how to do that? and I tell them...I am a SPONGE when it comes to learning about things I am interested in.  It may even teeter on the edge of obession!!  I am CONSTANTLY, I am serious, like EVERY single day reading SOMETHING about my beloved hobby.  I LOVE to keep up on the latest and greatest techniques and find constant inspiration in my daily findings.  I feel that THIS is how I stay motivated to be creative because even though I would LOVE to go to every weekend to crops or spend my all of my afternoons cropping away at the Attic, my schedule and family just don't allow me that luxury at this point in my life.  I think a lot of you can relate to this...so in an attempt to FUEL my need for creativity, I read, research, and HOARD information for future scrapbooking adventures.  It's like I store it away somewhere and pull it out when I am creating!  Most of the time at crops I can be found "scraplifting" from a book or magazine while incorporating an idea I picked up here or there or using the latest tool to do a cool new technique (I am not the "tech-tastik" girl for nothin'!).  so I thought you might like to check out some of the places I am currently getting my information on what is happening in the crop world.

#1 Books:

Tim Holz' book A Compendium of Curiosities is hitting shelves this week (call the Attic to reserve yours NOW cause they WILL sell out fast---I PROMISE YOU that!!!  Tim is REALLY into giving every project that "distressed" or aged look.  Now, you may be saying "that is not really my STYLE" and I am there with you for the most part, but what I do like is the fact that Tim is ALL technique!!!  He is an innovator in the field and his products are WONDERFUL!  (if you don't believe me ask his #1 fan Angie Lentz!!)  I haven't even SEEN the inside of this book and I have a copy coming.  I KNOW it will be filled with new techniques to get my wheels turning and I can't wait to get it into my hands!!

I recently picked up this AMAZING book at the Attic (they sold out the first time they were in and have ordered a 2nd shipment--so AGAIN call the store NOW and reserve this one too!).  Elizabeth Kartchner is a fresh and fun scrapbooker (we are going to be carrying her new line soon and watch for hard to get pieces from her collection in upcoming CITA kits!!!).  "52 Challenges" is just that...52 ideas to try in your layouts and coordinating examples her team has created.

#2 Magazines

My magazine pick:

Scrapbook Trends is the BEST magazine in my opinion...I also suscribe to Creating Keepsakes and Scrapbooks, Etc. which I also REALLY enjoy!  But Steff got me hooked on Scrapbook trends (by way of a hand me down magazine) and I just can't get enough.  This magazine is the MOST current of any I have found and has NO ADS (so it costs a little more $9.99--which has come down from its original price of $14.99) so it it CRAM PACKED with layout ideas and I think it is like getting a new idea book every month.

#3 Websites:

• 2 Peas in a Bucket is a FAVE of mine.  I don't go to the gallery so much for ideas but I do like to read the message boards both Scrapbooking and Non Scrapbooking related!! 

• Etsy  All things handmade!

#4 and Perhaps my personal FAVORITE:  BLOGS, duh!!

• the Attic Blog!!  our goal, dream, vision for this baby is that it is a go-to place for you to find updates, the latest information, COOL Stuff, and inspiration.  We need you all to make this possible so check back often, pass the link to your friends, and know that we do this all for YOU our readers and loyal customers!!  thanks and love ya muches!!!
• I do have a long list of other blogs i "follow" or suscribe to (so I get updates when new posts are made-- that way I am not just checking and checking).  Here are just a FEW that you might like:

*Tim Holtz

*Heidi Swapp

*Elsie Flannigan

*Elizabeth Kartchner

*Ruby Ellen

*Rachel Denbow

*Jenni Bowlin

...check them out!  Enjoy! and let me know dear readers, where do YOU go for inspiration???  besosbesos, dc

Attic Button

Do you SEE it?!?!  I have been wanting one for a while now so, once again I hit up our good friend Laura at Elephant Juice Designs and she agreed to help us out.  Isn't it LOVELY?!?!  In case you're wondering, the purpose of a "button" is to show your ATTIC LOVE!  If you have a blog of your own you can copy the html code below the "button" and paste it into your own blog.  This will give your readers and yourself an EASY way to "Stay in the KNOW" when it comes to the happenings around the Attic.  And if you don't have a blog...it is time for you to start one by golly!!  As you have probably figured I am IN LOVE with this electronic, and FREE way to document the day to day goings on my hectic life without feeling the pressure to scrap 'every breath they take' like I used to.  This way it is ALL documented forever and a it is a great way for friends and family to keep up, especially if you have loved ones that live far away!  So think about it...and if you are already onboard the Blogger train grab a button and show your Attic support!  In fact leave questions if you have any trouble with the directions below and once you get it figured out leave a comment to let me know that your Attic button is good to go (ka-kaw, ka-kaw!!!) and I will give away some prizes for those with THE button.  So leave your blog addy in the comments once your button is up and I will be announcing winners randomly!  Thanks in advance for SHOWING THE ATTIC LOVE!

Steps to installing your Attic Button in Blogger:

1. Right click and copy the entire html code below the Attic button on our sidebar.
2. Go to your Blog's Dashboard
3. Go to Layout
4. Page Elements
5. on your right hand sidebar click "Add a Gadget" HTML/Java Script- click the "plus sign"
6. Title "Attic Button" (or anything along those lines-your choice!)
7. Under "Content":  right click and paste the html code
8. Click "save" then view blog

and WAH-LA!  You should have your VERY own Attic button on your blog and to quote my l.fox, "that will make you official."

besosbesos, dc

PJ Crop Pictures!!!

This past Saturday was SUPER SCRAPPIN SATURDAY at the Attic.  If you aren't familiar, that means make-n-takes, layout of the month, discounts, and our FAVE-O-RITE... the pj crop!!  I am a night owl so this is something that we came up with a little over a year ago as a way to get some more cropping done.  I don't know about you but I am getting pretty darn SPOILED when it comes to my croppin time.  If I can't scrapbook for 6 hours plus (or so) I almost don't feel like hauling all of my stuff out of the house.  Now don't get me wrong I will play in my scraproom all of the time when I have a hour or so to kill... we're talking getting out of the house, kid free, to crop. 

This month was SUPER spesh cause is was our attic girl Krusty Mullin's 23rd birfday!!! ;) {that is a big WINK symbol--just sayin!!}  Woohoo!!  We had some singing, cupcakes, croppin, gifts, and of course LOTS of laughs!! 

Krusty's scrubby Dennis (who I just met for the first time that night!! hahaha!) took their 3 girlies shopping and brought momma's present to the store so she could open it there.  She was so THRILLED when this beautifully striped bag was handed to her. 

This is her "surprised" face.  "No way you guys!!!" 

Look how CAAAUUUTE and excited her girls were to watch her open it...what ever could it be???

Jumping up and down (notice the bluuuurrrr!) at the first glimpse of her new Coach purse!!!

Admiring, loving, and touching it for the rest of the night.  See guys "it's like vinyl and you can just wipe it off!!"  SWEET!!!

Whew now that was fun and I do have a little bitty video to go with that I will post soon.  Are you giving up on me with the video posting yet???  I know I owe you TWO so far and I PROMISE i have them and I will spare you the excuses and just say that I will let you know as soon as they are posted!!!  I hope you all had a WONDERFUL weekend and got some cropping/crafting in!  I think I have recovered after sleeping most of the day yesterday (sorry Kelli!!).  I made it til about 2:30am before heading home (40 minute drive) and getting to bed about 4am!!  WOWZARS!!  I was a HURTING unit Sunday morning--especially when the girls woke me up arguing at 8:30am!  OUCH!  It was well worth it though and I got 6 pages done that I can post if you girls want to see them!!!  LMK!

Just a FEW of the things you might have heard if you were at the pj crop:

• "you GUUUUYS!!!!"
• I am going to title this layout "Divorce Party!"
• that smell you like... marigold, I mean mongolia. (it was MAGNOLIA!)
• So you're saying Steff smells like "Ghengis Kahn???"

Any others you girls can think of?!?!?!  Put them in the comments and I'll add them to "le list!!"

besosbesos, dc
