Scrap Arts’ staff of friendly craft experts purveys a large selection of scrapbooking and arts products. Students eager to discover the ways of the scissor can choose from a menu of scrapping classes lead by a skilled designer. Classes help groups of 4–8 students produce such eye-catching handmade objects as vintage recipe books, seasonal greeting cards, and deluxe paper footballs for championship showdowns. Instead of the craft-technique tutorial, buyers can browse the bright, green-walled retail space in search of raw materials to cart away for at-home projects. In addition to a selection of scrapping supplies and materials, customers can nab Merry Christmas card kits ($8) or select individual pre-cut cards from Scrap Arts’ card buffet ($2/card), which displays an array of cards every day of the week, including birthday cards, seasonal cards, and prime-rib cards. Scrap Arts donates half the profits from each card-buffet card to breast cancer research.
