What's NEW at Capture!

As you have probably heard (or seen) by now, we have made some VERY big changes at Capture! We decided to stick with what we do best and streamline our company. We're now only selling our fabulous kits, both online and from our workspace in the Scrap 2 It store here in Ft. Collins! 

Miss seeing our smiling faces, or do you miss putting our kits together with your friends? Don't worry, you'll have an opportunity for just that every Thursday evening from 6-8pm at our Capture Kit Club located here in our workspace at Scrap 2 It! No registration necessary, just bring your basic scrapbook tools (adhesive, scissors, distress ink, journaling pens & foam squares) and a friend and you can choose from a wide variety of kits to assemble!

If you haven't stopped in to see us yet, this weekend would be the perfect opportunity! We're participating in the World Card Making Day Shop Hop with Scrap 2 It, Artsy and A Scrapin' Place! Visit each store to make one of these fun cards (and be eligible to win one of four clear card & envelope sets from Clear Scraps!):

Visit all 4 locations and you'll be entered in a drawing for $60 in gift cards!

As an added bonus, if you participate in the Shop Hop at Capture or Scrap 2 It, you'll get a 10% discount on this spook-tacular Halloween Card set!

The Shop Hop will be this Friday, Oct. 5th from 10-4 and Saturday, Oct. 6th from 10-4. Bring some adhesive and a friend!

If you like crafting with friends, (and really, who doesn't?) then be sure to come to the first ever Capture/Scrap 2 It Crop night Friday, Oct. 12th! We'll be co-hosting this fun filled night with Ranea from Scrap 2 It, and seats are limited so be sure to register!

The fee is $15 for the evening and includes dinner & drinks. The fun goes from 4pm-midnight! (8 whole hours of crafting fun!!) Call 970-797-2174 to register.

If you REALLY can't get enough crafting time, check out our booth at the Scrapbook All Day scrapbooking event with Kris & Deb next Sat. Oct 13th at The Loveland Outlets! This event runs from 8am-8pm and will be benefiting the Greeley Transitional House Children's Fund. For information on registration, visit their website: http://cropallday.shutterfly.com/

So many opportunities this month to create some fabulous pages and cards, or get started on your holiday projects! We hope to see you at some (if not all) of  them!

Happy crafting!

CHA Summer 2012 Highlights!

Hello everyone!

We just got back from the CHA Summer 2012 show and boy was it a blast! We ordered from THIRTY TWO new lines to create many different kits for you going through the end of the year! We can't wait to get started creating and we know you're just going to LOVE what we make with it!

But until that time we wanted to share some of the highlights from the show and hopefully spread around the inspiration! Some of the trends (new and ongoing):

*Owls
*Banners/flags
*Pinwheel flowers
*Sprays and mists on a layout or album (think Glimmer Mist)
*Frames
*Retro themes, including polaroid inspired frames (think Instagram!)
*Glitter letters and strips to add just a touch of sparkle to your project
*Trendy colors such as chartreuse, aqua, blush, charcoal, mustard and ivory
*Cameo inspired accents
*Texture, lots & lots of texture (cardboard, canvas, cork & burlap)

...just to name a few! Here are some pics to get your creative juices flowing:

We were inspired by some awesome displays!

An update and some upcoming events you won't want to miss!

Hello again, Capture fans!

It's been a while since our last blog post, so we hope everyone had a great Holiday season and a wonderful New Year! We have been busy getting ready for all the great things to come in 2012, and we can't wait to share them with you.

I just got back from vacationing in New Zealand:


 Mike and I in Hamilton, NZ.



 The view along the drive from Hot Water Beach to Cathedral Cove.



The beach at Cathedral Cove.


 The view as we walked around Mt. Maunganui.


My friend Kat & I enjoying some Black Forest Martinis.


We had the time of our lives and I can't wait to scrapbook it all!

Angie is currently in L.A at the CHA Trade Show, scoping out all the wonderful new Spring/Summer collections! She was able to bring her daughter, Taylor with her this time, and Taylor had a blast meeting Teresa Collins and Tim Holtz. Teresa even blogged about Taylor! You can check it out here on Teresa's blog. 



Now that January is pretty much over, we are looking forward to some great upcoming events in February and March!

Mark your calendars for Friday, February 10th for our Love Potion Croptini! Spots are filling up FAST for this one, so be sure to register online at www.shopcapture.com or give us a call at 970-484-0595. We'll have great food and prizes, as well as a special valentine-themed martini!



You'll also want to start organizing your unwanted craft items to sell at our Semi-Annual Garage Sale, going on Saturday, March 31st & Sunday, April 1st! Rent a table for $10, price your craft and scrapbooking supplies, and sell them for store credit! You MUST register in store or over the phone so we can assign you with your own seller's i.d. number. The Garage Sale is always a huge success, so start purging your stash now to make room for new stuff!
