Update | 6.28.2013

June 28, 2013 by 11 Comments

It’s time for another Update – your round-up of scrapbook news from around the industry. This time around, we’ve got some serious industry news, and a whole lot of fun too! (You know what they say about all work and no play….)

Apparently even pop princesses need to buy their own flowers sometimes, as Britney Spears was spotted recently at a Michaels store in Los Angeles. The singer, who is currently in the studio recording her next album with will.i.am, was carrying bags loaded down with artificial flowers, along with various other items. The photos in UK’s Daily Mail made me feel a bit better about my own usual wardrobe for shopping at Michaels – Britney was photographed shopping in sweats, no make-up, and really messy hair.

Jo-Ann Stores are looking for a District Team Leader in the Raleigh, NC area. This position requires a four year college degree and 3 to 5 years supervisory experience preferably in a retail environment.

American Crafts has a design team call out that closes this week (on Friday, June 28th). The call requires submitting 2 scrapbook pages, 1 card, and 2 other types of general crafting or DIY projects. International applicants are welcome and the new team will be announced in early July. [Read more...]

Big changes are happening here at Scrapbook Update and I wanted to share with the site’s loyal readers what exciting things are planned for you!

For the past several years we’ve been bringing you creative consumer content on Scrapbook Update from a variety of wonderful and talented contributors. Sometimes, though, it is a good idea to take a step back from being locked in the day to day grind, and look real hard at where you are and whether it is really where you want to be. After some soul searching and analysis of traffic and survey data, I’ve decided to make some dramatic changes.

Scrapbook Update is going back to its roots. [Read more...]

We desire individuals with the ability to think outside of the box while remaining cutting edge, trendsetting and true to their own style.
