Announcing Our New Design Team

Good Monday morning to you! Today StopAndScrap has an exciting announcement taking your shopping experience to an entirely new and different level with new products, new vendors (Hero Arts, Tim Holtz and Ranger anybody? - more Graphic 45 than you can imagine, and that's just to start with!), all while maintaining the excellent customer service you have grown accustomed to. Are you ready to get your stamp on?

StopAndScrap has a tremendous and loyal scrapbooking clientele and thank you! However, we want all paper crafters to know about us.  I have a lot of fun news for you today! Grab a cup o' joe and spend a few minutes with me. You won't be disappointed. We'd love to have you join in on the excitement and new direction that the store is taking while still providing you with the best product and prices of your favorite manufacturers.. We're going to be making some tremendous and positive changes for you, our valued customer, to make StopAndScrap the only store you shop at and have a lot of fun while you're doing it. So, let's get started!

My name is Cindy Coutts and I am so privileged and honored to be the Design Team Coordinator and Social Media Director for StopAndScrap. We have put together an amazing design team for you of 10 designers that you already know and love! Each of them have a special gift to provide you with a wide array of inspiration. I"ll have more on that below when you meet them. We have so many plans that we're executing right now to make StopAndScrap YOUR store for one-stop shopping for everything that you need at the lowest prices and to date, we have achieved that.

Every Monday-Thursday, a design team member will demonstrate to you products in the store for inspiration. Every Friday, I will be doing a demonstration and teaching video for you showing you new ways to use our store products and innovative techniques that all paper crafters will love. We'll be sharing with you scrapbook pages, cards, altered items, and more!

We would love to have you join in our new challenges with prizes. How fun is that! Join our generous Rewards Program, keep up with our Facebook Page, we're tweeting on Twitter, and sign up for our Newsletter for sales and discount coupon codes. Our new Pinterest Boards are going to blow you away once we start getting our projects in there. Our boards will be finely categorized for you under manufacturer, the type of project it is, and even by holiday! We would also LOVE it if you would upload your beautiful work to our Flickr Gallery to share with us! This gallery is just for our customers! It's our pleasure to be able to offer you the lowest prices and superb customer service by our friendly office staff. You are invited to visit one of our many social media avenues and become a part of our family!

You're going to find yourself returning daily to get your StopAndScrap fix!

I saved the best for that last and that's our design team. These ladies are awesome and you know their work very well.
