Grand Opening, DT Call & more!!!

Hello everyone,

it's been a while since our last post, let's just say that we've been busy whipping up a lot of exciting changes we're bringing to the store. First off, we have a special announcement to make, Posh Designs Scrapbook Store will be opening its first brick & mortar store in Montreal!!! We would like to thank each and every one of you for making this lifelong dream a reality!!!

We're so psyched about this and can't wait to see you next month at our Grand Opening! Due to Bill 101 in Quebec our store's name will be changed to our registered company's name: La Scrapboutique à Nini translation from French: Nini's Scrapboutique!

In order to better serve our local clients, you may shop both in store and online with the option to pick up your order to save on shipping. More updates about the store will be posted on the blog and our other social marketing sites.

Oh and speaking of Social Marketing the fabulous author Jan Zimmerman has published an amazing and insightful new book called: Social Media Marketing All-in-One For Dummies that hit the bookshelves just 2 days ago and we're so incredibly happy to announce that our web based marketing strategies and the story behind Posh's web presence are featured in this awesome book!!! Be sure to check it out it's worth a read especially if you're looking into internet advertising!!!

Last but not least we're searching for a couple of talented, upbeat and drama-free ladies to join our Design Team! If you love challenges, blogging and talking about crafts then you might be just the one we're looking for!!! Click HERE for our Design Team application.

We look forward to seeing your work!!! Thank you for taking the time to stop by and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to let us know!

Hugs & smooches :) xoxo

Problem with comments - Fixed

We heard from you that there were issues with leaving anonymous or unregistered comments. It's been fixed, so as of now, you do not have to be a registered user to leave a comment. Hopefully that will help some of you out there who may have wanted to leave a comment but didn't want to register.

Sorry about that, we didn't realise the blog was set that way.

Phew, glad to know it's been fixed... maybe now we'll hear more from you guys!

Posh Designs Srapbook Store Updates!

Hi everyone! Hope you've all had a wonderful day!

This is just a quick post to let you know about the recent changes we've made to the store! We now accept payments from all major credit cards through our secure payment gateway! We've also added an extra payment option for Canadian buyers who can now use INTERAC Online as their choice of payment.

You can now subscibe to our store's online newsletter for products news, contests and special online promos!

We've added a new "HO HO HO!" category which makes it easier for you to find all those holiday/seasonal scrapbooking supplies. Speaking of holiday items we've added K & Company's brand new "Swell Noel" line I've listed whatever is in stock but there are more items to this collection which is on backorder... that's if you prefer to wait until all items are in stock :)

That pretty much wraps it up for today!

Enjoy the evening and Happy Scrapping! ~Nini

SEI New Collection Release Part 2

HO HO HO... Warm your heart this year with S.E.I's Alpine Frost collection! Check it out in the new product section of the store or simply type "Alpine Frost" in the store's search box! Most of the papers in this line have a speciality finish to them such as sparkly glitter, shimmery metalic foil and even a raised varnish look! I was quite impressed with the chipboard embellishments, they add the perfect touch to your scrapbook layouts and or greeting cards!

Just a few layouts from SEI using the Alpine Frost collection:

SEI New Collection Release Part 1

Hi ya'all! We've got some great news S.E.I has 4 of their newest lines ready for this year!

Basic Grey Wassail Collection just in....

Posh Designs Scrapbook Store has the newest Christmas/Holiday themed release from Basic Grey called Wassail. Now what in the world does "Wassail" mean?! It's a hot spiced punch often associated with Christmas extremely popular in Germanic countries, the name itself is a contraction of the Anglo-Saxon term, waes haeil, meaning, "be healthy"!


Other than the coordinating items for this line, we also have in stock Wassail's Greeting Card Kit for the upcoming holidays which includes enough Wassail patterned paper die-cuts, printed and scored cardstock, Basic Grey rub-ons, printed chipboard, and envelopes to create eight unique holiday cards!






Also in an adorable DIY (Do it yourself) Wassail Calendar Kit Featuring 12 of BasicGrey's top collections, kit includes everything needed to create a beautiful handmade calendar: 14-page spiral-bound calendar, 66 adhesive chipboard elements, 55 die cuts, 60 cardstock stickers & 62 rubon elements/ calendar kit is sized for 8x8 layouts.

Lolly, lolly, lolly get your journalling tags here...

Wow! has Posh Designs have something great for you! Look for it soon in the new items section, and when I say soon I mean in the next week or two. It's on it's way and you don't want to miss it! So remember to check back often.

New from Prima Marketing, the most adorable journalling tags I have seen in ages! The first time I saw these I just knew I had to hold them in my not so little hands.

Journalling Books in a Box come in two options, one for boy and one for girl. Personally I think the boy one is fairly gender neutral and could be used for either. Each one has a collection of tags with the most adorable little critters on it. Lions and pandas and owls... oh my!


The vibrant colours just jump right off the tags. The animals scream to be handled. Overall these tags really need to be in YOUR scrapbooks! Each box comes with a collection of tags, 6 designs in all with 6 different edges. Measuring 4"X6" and each box containing 30 sheets. These tags are just too cute for words, but you better not let that stop you because that's just what they're for!

At only $4.99 the price is a steal and there's no reason not to get a box, in fact at that price get two!


Here's what Prima has to say about their product :


These adorable journaling sheets add a dainty touch. With cute little animals like the panda, owl, and fox mixed with light patterns and complimentary color combinations, it makes for a simplistic and classic style of product for any kind of project! Includes 30 4"x6" sheets in 6 designs with 6 different die cut edges such as scallop, tab, perforated, zig zag and more! With so many sheets at such an affordable price these would be perfect for invitations and cards but really fun to use in scrapbooking and other craft projects as well!

Item details: 6 patterns/5 pages each
30 pieces/box
Sheet size approximately 4"x6"
