Photos From PHOTO SCRAPS!!

Yesterday Marvelous Marvic and I took a road trip to PHOTO SCRAPS in Sykesville, MD. Rumor had  it that they had nice little store with quality products and some great bargains!

Rumor was right! The store isn't huge but the inventory is super high quality and the staff is friendly and very accommodating. They recently relocated to their present location so there was a big selection of merchandise marked down by 75%!

A sign displayed inside Photo Scraps encourages you to take photos of the many beautiful samples of cards, pages and class projects displayed around the store... so I did!

 As always with local scrapbook stores, we found items that were new to us. I had heard of but had never seen PEERLESS WATERCOLORS, an artist's watercolor line first developed in 1885. Originally intended for tinting of photos and engravings, the pigments are conveniently packaged as ultra concentrated dry colors deposited on the pages of a small booklet. To use the colors you simply touch your damp brush to the pigment in the booklet and rehydrate the color. This gorgeous "Happy For You" card was made using these beautifully intense colors. Peerless Watercolors are a new item in the latest AMuse Studio catalog, so I'll be ordering them from my AMuse consultant, Tyuana Bailey. Gotta spread the happy around!


There were so many lovely samples and many of our favorite companies were represented. Prima, Graphic 45, Inky Antics, Tim Holtz, Spellbinders, Dreamweavers, Petaloo, Riley & Company and many many more!

There is a spacious area at the rear of the store where they offer a variety of page and card make and takes for a small fee. I made this adorable flip-flop card! Isn't it cute? Shopping was the reason for the visit, and that was fab too! We bought a wide variety of papers and embellishments for pennies on the dollar!

 

And... some regular priced items that were irresistible!

So, if you get the chance, head on over to Photo Scraps, 1213 Liberty Road, Eldersburg MD 21784.

(Take note - the store technically is in Sykesville, but the address is Eldersburg. If your GPS doesn't recognize one town, try the other one! :)
