Art Inspired Studios kickoff....

Well...after one week of hard work the store opened.  In celebration they had a kickoff event filled with free crops, prizes, demos, make and takes, friends,laughs and most of all SHOPPING!  It's nice to hear a scrapbook store opening in our neighborhood.  Yeah!! I can crop and shop now with friends.  Patti and Diana have such enthusiasm,passion and love for what they do and for the people that they share it with it's contagious.   Suzy West along with Daniela Costa, Sara De Guzman and many more were there to crop and socialize.   Suzy West did some make and takes and demos.  She's one of the project designers for Punky Sprouts along with many other companies.  (ps.  having problems with the site in linking websites to the names)  They also had a Canon rep there and had printers where we can print pictures for FREE.

Their front windows are adorned with Hambly's wall decal.  Aren't they cool?

Their embellishment bar.

Here's a mini book I created using Dear Lizzy products, Hambly and American Crafts.

Many layouts that are hung and adorned throughout the store.

Art Inspired have so much to offer where no scrapbook store in the east bay offers such as a technique bar, make n takes and product demos throughout the week.  Lots of inpirational samples that'll get your creative juices flowing.  Passionate,helpful and friendly owners that will help you find what you're looking for.  Crop nights, events and not to mention classes for many different skill levels.  I am so excited that Patti and Diana pursued their dreams.  Congratulations!  Art Inspired Studios is Fabulous!!
