Scrap Your Trip Adds 291 Items + Semi-Scrapbooked Video

Entry Filed under: New Items Added

Last week when I was going through my daughter Lauren’s backpack, I came across an essay she had written in class for the Veteran’s Day celebration they were having at school.  I am so proud of her that she understands the sacrifices that our veterans have made on her behalf.   Below is an 8-year old’s salute to our Veterans (thoughts also shared by her Mommy). 
 
I’m so proud to be her Mom. :-)

Wow, do we have a lot of new products this week!  The Wassail Christmas collection from Basic Grey is here.  We also ordered the collection packs from last year’s collections, Figgy Pudding and Fruitcake, along with the matching fibers.  We have three new collections from K&Co – Fall Harvest, Ancestry (including a storage folder, record book kit and organizing system for all of your genealogy needs) and Life’s Journey.  We have two new collections from Reminisce – Real Magic (think Disney) and Enchanted Autumn (yeah – owls!).  We have three collections from Spanish Memories to help with your Latin scrapbooking needs – Mexico, Puerto Rico and Cumpleaños.  Scrapbooking Trends has a new idea book "Celebrate the Holidays" filled with inspiration for your holiday season. 

The Scrap Your Trip designers have been busy too!  We have 3 new custom papers this week – one with diagonal text, one airplane that we can customize for you and your photo turned into 12×12 paper!  We’ve gotten lots of requests from you to offer this service and we’re happy to be able to oblige. :-) Of course we have lots of gorgeous papers from destinations near and far.  We also created several papers to scrapbook the recent historic election.  We have die cuts for Disney, Veteran’s Day, baby, baseball, Thanksgiving (including a customized decorative plate) and scrapbooking (with a customized nametag that says "Hi My Name is … and I’m a Scrapaholic!".)  Click here to see all the items:  http://www.scrapyourtrip.com/111208.html.
 
We also have two new layouts in the Shop by Layout section – one with the Real Magic collection and one with the Enchanted Autumn collection.  Click here to see:  http://www.scrapyourtrip.com/shopbylayout.html
 
 Lastly, we have some great "semi-scrapbooked" products – something new for us.  I thought it would best be explained in a video.  Hope you like them as much as I do. 
 
 
As always, thanks for your business!

    Hi Julie,

    I am a Veteran’s wife. My husband is currently serving his 4th tour in Iraq. He is due to return to us in mid March of 2009.

    I just wanted to say that your little Lauren is very insightful about our Veteran’s and the sacrifices that they all make for our country.

    Thank you for posting her paper. It really touched my heart. I forwarded it on to my husband and I am sure that he will share it with the guys in his unit.

    We are planning a trip to Orlando upon his return and would love to drop by and say hello. If this is okay please let me know.

    Thank you again for your families support of our Veterans.

    Kindest Regards,

    Sandi Dias

    Thank you so much for posting your daughters paper on our Veteran’s…that was so sweet and it sounded like it came straight from her eight year old heart. That kind of understanding from someone so young – that isn’t a military child – is very special.

    I can’t thank you, your company and your family enough for the way you have treated me as your customer. The first time I placed an order with you all I didn’t know you had free shipping to military family’s and you all told me – which I thought was really special and admirable. Then every order since then I have been treated so wonderfully and you all have been so nice. That means a lot to anyone – but when I first started ordering from you all my husband was in Afghanistan and scraping was the only thing (other than our sweet 6 year old) that helped me get through each of the rough days we had while he was gone. You all helped me continue to scrap and offered more military items and specialty things that I couldn’t find anywhere else – and at a great price.

    Thank you for everything and tell your daughter that she has a wonderful heart. My husband and I both say thank you to her for being so compassionate at such a young age…she understands more than most adults the sacrifices our soldiers make. God bless you all…and God Bless America!

    Thank you for sharing Lauren’s essay…it’s wonderful and I forwarded it to my son who is training for his second deployment. This is one ‘advertisement’ (not really the correct term, but it escapes me at the moment) that will be saved and not deleted. Thank you, again…and give her a big squeeze for me.

    Lauren’s essay is great!

    Thanks for the great new diecuts and papers; the Democrat, Obama & the Yes We Can diecuts will be perfect for the layouts I’m doing of our involvement in the Democratic election this year. Also the Veterans Day diecut will be of great use to me.

    So many pictures; so little time!

    I’ll probably have to have a couple of custome diecuts made soon..my 60th birthday is next week and we’re going to see Celtic Thunder in concert!

    SYT is so great!
