Tampa Bay Scrapbook Treasure Hunt

This is an email I just received from The Scrapbook Shoppe in Tampa, FL.

Last night we had our initial Tampa Bay Scrapbook Treasure Hunt meeting. Lexi and I sat in the back and caused trouble! It was lots of fun and informative. You guys are going to LOVE the additions to the Hunt this year. The passport package alone left me giddy!
So here's the skinny-
First and foremost- can I call the Shoppe and reserve mine today? YES!!

Dates- Friday, March 6- Sunday, March 15

Times- Once again we will all be open the same hours. No surprises for you! We will all be open Monday-Thursday 10am-6pm, Fridays will be 10am-8pm, Saturdays 10pm-6pm and Sundays 12pm-5pm. This should give you LOTS of time to visit all of the stores.

Participating Stores- As it is shaping up, this could change a bit. The participating stores will be K2 Scrapbook Studio, Made for Memories, Whim So Doodle, Scrapbooking in Paradise, The Happy Scrapper, Ruban Rouge, Scrapbook Fanatic, Scrap and Sew, Scraporium, Scraptopia, Violettes and The Scrapbook Shoppe.

Passports packages- Passport packages this year will be $10.00 and SO WORTH IT! I am not giving away any secrets but we have gone above and beyond to put some cool stuff in there this year. The passport will require a stamp with a $5.00 purchase. When you completely fill up your passport, you will be eligible for the prizes! The grand prize will be a $100.00 gift certificate to each store. AMAZING! Other prizes include more gift certificates, donations from our favorite manufacturers and more.


Cover Contest- We will even be having a contest to cover your 6x6 Treasure Hunt album.


Make and Takes- We will all be providing a "make and take" or "take and make" for your 6x6 album. The theme this year is "The Search for Hidden Treasure". I am sure we will be doing some fun activities around this theme. A peel off Johnny Depp poster comes to mind!


Party Beads and Goody bags- Get ready for some fun tags for your Treasure Hunt beads! We are already thinking about your treats. I am pretty sure it will involve ice cream, chocolate or both!

Discount- You will get 10% off your purchases during the Treasure Hunt dates- Score!

Tell your friends! Do you have a newbie? someone who always says "I want to scrapbook, but"? Someone who just needs to get out and have a little fun? This is the event for them. Bring a friend that has not done the Treasure Hunt before. They will be happy they came. Our goal is to have 1000 participants, help us out ladies!
Now, here's a change- our new website is www.scrapbooktreasurehunt.com. Check it out! Lots of information there, including a possible party bus!
