A sad Day. Scenic Route is closing.

For those of you Scenic Route fans, I'd like to post a note from Sarah saying goodbye.....



"A Bittersweet Farewell ....

With a landslide of conflicting emotions we have decided to close the doors at Scenic Route. Our last 6 years doing business in the scrapbook industry have been both fun and challenging. Through the years I have learned so much, I know that we can do anything we set our hearts on with a little creativity and a lot of hard work. With that, I am looking forward my next creative adventure. Thanks to you, Scenic Route had growth year after year culminating in our best month ever in August 2008. Unfortunately, September 2008 brought economic hardships to our company, the scrapbook industry, and this nation. Thank you so much to all of you who have taken this journey with us and supported our efforts to bring fun and innovative products to the scrapbook industry.

Kukoyo Dot 'n Roller

As some of you might have heard, Kukoyo is discontinuing producing the Dot 'n Roller and Tape 'n Roller adhesives. We can no longer get any refills or dispensers. We do have a few refills left in the store and have marked them down.

At this point, we are looking for another vendor who we believe makes as good a quality tape roller that is also easily refillable. A tall order! We still will carry the mounting squares which are always the staple for every scrapbooker, and have the assortment of Glue Dots which also are great for card making and scrapbooking.

I think we are all disappointed that we will no long be able to get the Kokoyo products which we have come to love.

Coming soon from Memory Box

We should be receiving the new paper packs from Memory Box within the next couple weeks.

Everyone's been asking for the new Twilight! We're also re-stocking all the rest of the packs which have been extremely popular!

Look for them in the store by the second week of September.
