Memorial Day Weekend

We are “warning” everyone that we will be closed over Memorial Day Weekend to allow ALL of our staff to retreat with their families.

We understand it is graduation season and this could be perceived as a bad business decision, but we see it otherwise. We are a family owned business who cherish our foundations of a work/life balance and wish to provide that for all of our staff.

We will work all hours needed before we close and stay late Tuesday and Wednesday following Memorial weekend to make up for it, but we find it important as a business to spend time with family.

We hope you understand and support us in our foundation of family as a locally family owned business.

So hear is the heads up. We will be closed Saturday, Sunday and Monday next week.

Get us custom orders early and we will get them done!!

Oh the things we have been doing, and would love to do….

If you have been in the store lately you may have heard the buzz about our ability and willingness to do custom diecuts and page layouts. This is what sets us apart from our “competitors”. Not only do we NOT want to be big, we just want to be custom and local.

So if you are in need of a custom die cuts, layout, poster, graduation gift, anniversary gift, birthday present.. did I mention graduation? We are the place to come.

We have had numerous school, athletic organization, community partners and local customers come in and ask us to design things and we are loving this. So we thought we would share some of the things we have done this week.

We have also had a number of people ask us if their sisters, mothers, sister-in-laws etc from out of state can contact us, that is just fine as well. We can do anything, any town, any state any school. They can either email their order to pagesmn@gmail.com (we are already getting lots of these!) Facebook their order at www.facebook.com.pagesapplevalleyminnesota, calling in the order 651-605-1439 or you can stop in the store and order for them!

so here it goes, look at some of the cool things that people have requested!

Door Signs, Locker Signs, Gyms Signs, Banquet Signs.... the possibilities are endless

Pages Card Club

The first Monday of each month is the Pages Card Club meeting. 10 of us meet once a month and make cards based on a previously determined theme. After having a great time last night,  I thought I would begin to share the cards that we make at each of these.

Its always fun to see new techniques, use of product and the sheer beauty of the cards that are made!

Last nights theme was “Valentines Day”

Hope you are inspired:
