Welcome Tyler! (Updated with a new picture)

We're happy to announce the birth of our first child, Tyler Louis! He was born at 9:24am on 8/12/09 and weighed 7 lbs 12 oz. We're so excited to share him with everyone :) Thanks for your patience during this amazing time for us! Maria is doing great, with no complications. I expect to be able to resume shipping this weekend and hopefully catch up with everything by early next week!! Thanks again, and here's my favorite picture:

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!

Maria is currently in labor and we expect to be in the hospital for the next couple of days as our son is born! Shipping will be delayed for a few days during this time. We appreciate your patience, however if you absolutely are unable to wait for your delivery we will, of course, be willing to provide a cancellation and full refund. If you have any questions, please email us at Sales@StopAndScrap.com and we will respond as soon as we are able to. Thank you!

My Mind's Eye Design Contest Winners!

Our apologies for the delay on this, but with all the CHA New Releases as well as Maria's pregnancy, we've been tied up recently :) It also took us a while because it was a very tough decision with so many great submissions. We narrowed it down to 2 people very quickly but we had a tough time deciding between those two. Because of that, we've decided to offer a 2nd place prize of a $25 gift certificate in addition to the $50 grand prize! So without further ado, the grand prize of a $50 StopAndScrap.com Gift Certificate goes to Michele Skinner for her My Mind's Eye The Spider's Web shadowbox! We loved the way she used almost every piece of the collection without needing any outside items, all while still making the project really pop. Here are a few images:

The other contestant that just as easily could have won but came just a tad short was the My Mind's Eye Ooh La La "For Him" page by Julie Bonner! She will be receiving a $25 gift certificate for finishing in 2nd.

We also have one more announcement - besides these two, we had so many other great submissions that could have won that we've decided to offer all of the other 8 contestants a $10 gift certificate as a consolation prize! You all did a great job and we wanted to thank you for making our first design contest such a success! Thanks everybody for participating and we can't wait to do another one!
