Scrap Your Trip Adds 111 Items – Polls for New Companies & New Ideas

I just came back from the Photo Marketing Association Tradshow in Las Vegas. You know how sometimes you find out about a whole world that you never knew existed? It was kind of like that. I’ve never seen so many cameras and lenses and accessories in my life. The show was the biggest I’ve ever been to – two stories! I wore my pedometer and the second day we took over 19,000 steps (you’re supposed to shoot for 10,000 per day but I’m lucky if I get 4,000). By the end of the day, I was sitting on a staircase at the Bellagio hotel, pretty much in tears, because my feet hurt so bad they were numb and I couldn’t take another step! All in all, I’m glad I went because I found about a lot of awesome things going on in the photography industry that I didn’t know about. Our laser company was there and we saw tons of creative things we could do with photographs with the laser. As I research all the ideas for “ScrapYourTrip worthiness”, I will keep you posted. Some of the ideas are listed in a poll on the blog so I know which direction to look in first. I also posted pictures from the show on the blog – scroll down to take a look. I didn’t even bother to put away the suitcase, because we are leaving Saturday to go to CHA in Anaheim to pick out new scrapbook products. We have lots of product requests to keep an eye out for – if you haven’t had a chance to put your request yet, time is running out! Lots of you have asked us to pick up some new companies. We also put a poll on the blog for this to help us decide. (I’ve gone poll happy today!) We have 111 new items this week. Many of you requested the “Magic Meals” collection from Creative Imaginations to help scrapbook your Disney character meals. It’s here this week, along with matching SYT die cuts. We have a “Snow Days” collection from CI too. Celebrating a milestone birthday? Reminsce has a line of papers and stickers to celebrate the 16th, 21st, 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th and 70th. Just for me, Tiffany designed a die cut that says “40 is the new 30.”

We also have the new State Patchwork stickers from Stamping Station for all 50 states. The SYT Design Room has been busy this week, creating die cuts for chess, general travel, road trips, Chinese New Year and martial arts. They even created a uniform that you can choose the custom belt color – they are so creative, those girls! Click here to see them all: http://www.scrapyourtrip.com/20608.html. As always, thank you SO MUCH for your business!
