Hi

It's hard to believe that the store has been closed for almost 2 months already.  I am  planning on having a rummage sale at our home in September,  I will send an email to those who were on the mailing list, post the date here when I figure that out and put it in local newspaper. Hope you summer is going well.

Thank You!

Thank you to everyone who came and helped us empty the store by buying paper, stamps and embellishments.

We are ready for our next step.  We will continue to do paper and vinyl cutouts on the Pazzels. Contact us at our new email   fomemories@gmail.com

2 Days Left

There is still some great papers at the store, along with stickers, stamps and some other embellishments.  Come and join us for our final 2 days.  Everything will be 66% off.

Our Last Week

It’s our final week! The last few weeks have flown by

 with merchandise going out the door just as fast.

This week we have

66% off all of our merchandise

Plus another 66% off Clearance products.

Remember if you have a gift card you need to use it by Saturday May 28^th, after that it will have no value.

All sales are final with no returns or exchanges.

We still have a lot of product left

Come and check to see if we have what you need.

Thank you for all your purchases over these last 3 plus years.   I have really enjoyed getting to know you and will miss you.  I will still be doing die cutting on the Pazzle if  you are interested in having me cut out party favors, vinyl or scrapbook words - contact me at my new email fomemories@gmail.com, also I will maintain the blog at  www.fomemoriesal.blogspot.com or check us out on facebook at fountain of memories.  If you would like to hear about crops we are having, email me and I will put  you on our crop list.

Have a great summer.

Only 2 weeks left before we close!

Thank  you to everyone who has been in and helped make our paper and embellishments disappear.  I have really enjoyed seeing each of you again and I am sad that in only a couple of weeks we will be closing.  It has been so much fun getting to know so many of you and hearing about your projects and your families. I am truly going to miss you.  But before that will happen there is lots more to go out the door so starting next Monday,
May 16th to the 21st everything will be 45% off regular price!

Week 2 of our Closing Sale

It's hard to believe that we are closing in just a few short weeks.  I will miss seeing so many of you who have become friends over the last three years.  This week we will have 33% off of all our merchandise and another 33% off clearance that has already been reduced in price. Hope you can make it in to see what's left.

We are closing

We will be closing Fountain of Memories on May 28, 2011 at 3PM.  We have really enjoyed serving our wonderful customers and helping you get the scrapbook and card making supplies you needed,  But the time has come for us to move on to new adventures.  We are looking into the possibility of continuing our crop nights at another location and we’ll let you know if that is happening.  Each week until we close our inventory will go down in  price.  Please check our blog for the next week’s Discount.

The week of May 2-7 it will be 20% off original price.

Our last crop at the store will be on Friday May 13^th.  And the final Stamping with the Ink Spots will be on Tuesday, May 12^th.

I will put in one final order about the 13^th of May. If you have gotten scrapbooks at the store and you need refills please order them before that time.  You will be charged regular price for the refill or other special orders you may have.

Graduation & Prom Paper

Easter is a week away and Proms are starting and Graduation is just around the corner.  We have lots of new Prom and graduation papers in along with stickers and We have a Class of 2011 cutout ready for your scrapbooks.
We will be closed next Monday April 25th.  There will be no crop night this week because of Good Friday. 

Wishing you a Warm and Fun

Easter Weekend

Saturday Make'N'Take

On Saturday, April 2nd, we will make an Easter/Spring Card. The card has a pocket in so you can place a gift card, packet of seeds or other small items in for a gift. You can also make a small basket that you could use for Easter or May day, out of a 6x6 piece of paper and a 1 inch x 12 inch strip of paper.  Hope you can join us!

Happy Spring

It is starting to feel like Spring.  I have been enjoying the warmer weather and hearing the birds sing as I leave for work in the morning,  It has also been fun to get the new spring and Easter paper and embellishments in.  We have some cute paper from K&Co. This line of paper has spring flowers and one of the sheet has a robin sitting in the nest, there are fun stickers to go with this.  Creative Imagination just came out with a new line of Easter paper - PEEPS - the sugar covered Easter Treat is now a paper with some covered in sugar colored pink and yellow glitter.

For those of you who like Flower Soft we have some of the new Ultra Fine colors in along with the Easter 3D cutouts and the globes to place over them.

This Friday, March 25th is our Crop Night.  Join us for a night of Fun, Food and Fellowship. The cost is $10 and includes supper.

On Saturday, April 2nd we will have a Make'N'Take to make Easter Cards.  Join us during the day to make your card.

Cricut Class

Saturday, March 19th, 2011

Beginners Class from 10:00 to 12:00 limit 6

Advanced Class from 1:00 to 3:00 limit 8

Cost $18 per class – Can sign up for both classes

Register by contacting Fountain of Memories at 373-1996

The instructor for this class is Renee Thorson

The Beginner’s Class is a hand’s on class teaching you all of the basic operations of your Cricut.   You will learn to use the creative feature of your cartridges, and become very familiar with layering and shadowing your die cuts.  We will also go over all of the buttons on your machine so you are familiar with what they do.  We will cover:  Blade Depth, Pressure, Speed, Center Cut, Multi Cut, Portrait, Flip, Quantity, Fit to Page, Fit to Length, Mix and Match, and Auto Fill.  Come with lots of question.  I want you all to be comfortable using your Cricut after this class.

The Advanced Class goes beyond making basic die cuts with your Cricut.  Some of the things we will go over are the use of Cricut Markers and cutting materials other then paper with your Cricut.  Some examples of this would be vinyl for wall hangings, chipboard to make embossing folders, and thin rubber to make stamps.  I will also be showing you how to renew the life of your old mats once they have lost their “stickiness”.  Finally, I want to touch on the use of the Cricut Design Studio software and the Cricut Gypsy to enhance your designing abilities.   One of the things people love most about these design programs is that it gives you the ability to weld letters or shapes together into one image.
