I’m not a Scrapbooker…Get me out of Here!

Welcome to our Blog.
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

We’re all there at this time of year, immersed in websites and catalogues, and wearing ourselves out trying to choose the perfect gifts for our nearest and dearest. In this time of sore feet and brains overloaded with options, we’re here to help.

Pick up a guide instore, or download a copy here, and browse the shop or the website at your leisure. Select your favourite supplies, or stash that you’d love to have, and make a note of it on the guide. Pass it on to your nearest and dearest, and send them down to the shop during one of our special events, and we’ll help them pick and prepare the perfect gift for you. There’ll be tea, coffee, and refreshments, and some of that girly knack of getting the right gift wrapped up under the tree Christmas morning.

For those of you a bit further away, there is also an online event on Sunday December 14th where you can contact us in any number of ways.

Friday December 12th 7pm-9pm and Saturday December 13th 8-10am
Join us after work and we’ll give you all the help you need, along with a cup of something sweet to build your energy. Go home with the great feeling of achievement, and one of the key Christmas chores out of the way.

Sunday December 14th 11am-3pm
Get hold of us in one of the following ways:

  1. Phone us on 01923 678363
  2. Email us at sales@willowtreecrafts.co.uk

Now you can get excited about what you might find under the tree Christmas Morning!

American Crafts 12×12 Albums

are back in stock. We’ve got more of the 12×12 Cloth Albums, and new to us are the 12×12 and 6×12 Corduroy albums.

These are much better than they sound, one has already made it to my house for my Christmas Journal. One of my favourite things about the American Crafts albums is using different sized page protectors inside, and I think that’s going to be perfec for me this year. It will be Harrisons first Christmas so there will be loads I want to cover this year, so being able to use 12×12 will be great, but for those days where there isn’t much I can just do a 6×6 or 8×8 page instead. I’m also looking forward to using some 6×12 pages in there too. The Cherry and Leaf albums are just pefect!
