Scrapbooking
We have scrapbooking supplies now!!
Upstairs in the boutique, there is now a pretty good supply of paper, stamps and miscellaneous scrapbooking goodies! The section will be expanding and growing in 2011 - help us by supporting the vendors who are there now!
We are also very excited to offer classes on digital scrapbooking. Digital scrapbooking is a great way to scrapbook, because it is all done on your computer! Less mess, less cost, less time! You can crop and adjust your pictures, drag them onto your page (any size)- add paper, embelishments, text, whatever you want. Then print your pages right here at The Cannery! We can even help you get your own printer with refillable ink systems.
