Birthday Bash

Hey it's Mandy I am your host for the Birthday Bash .Let's get the party started. Can you all believe that Your Scrapbook Stash is already starting their 3rd year in business? It seems like it was just a couple months ago I submitted my layout for the Design Team contest.It kind of a funny story. I waited to see who had made it since I didn't get a email saying hey your on our Design Team, I got an email about I'll be sending you blah blah blah and I thought hmm wait a minute so I emailed Erica to ask her who made it she must have thought I was goofy but in a responding email i got the confirmation YOU made it Mandy welcome to YSS DT. Awesome I was so excited. Their are 2 of us on the current Design Team that have been here from the start myself and Emeline it's such an honor. I get pretty excited every month to see what's in my DT package every month I love the goodies that Erica picks sometimes it's stuff I would pick out myself and other months I have to think outside the box to make something at least one other person out there might like. I have to admit I haven't had many things that I had to think outside the box on(thanks Erica). So how have things changed in the last couple years around here? The design team has seen some new faces with great work, the product wowzers it gets better and better all the time, we have gotten to know Erica better she is cool, the growth man this place has grown everywhere from the store, the blog, the gallery, and of course the customers.

Let's talk about some of the awesome things about Your Scrapbook Stash or like I call it "The Stash".

I have to say I love the variety it seems like every season Erica has picked awesome stuff at the trade shows products you all have been waiting for and asking for. She carries all the must haves, the staple supplies, and some of those things you thought man i would never buy that and then you see it in YSS and say hmm gotta have it.

Shipping who doesn't love getting that package faster then you thought it would get there? i know I do. Of course the girls overseas take a bit longer but Erica speeds up the process for them some how she's like YSS super chick.

The gallery man love it so many great layouts, minis, cards, tags, non layout projects. We have some very talented ladies here putting their work in the gallery if you haven't checked it out it's a must on your list this week while your there share some love comment on what you like. This is at the top of my list of things to do.

The contests one word AWESOME!

You know I'm going to mention the Design Team too the ladies here at the Stash are awesome sometimes I have to pinch myself when I see their work because my work is in a gallery with theirs. They are so talented and their work every month amazes me. I Love the different styles we all have from simple to shabby chic to freestyle.
