What I did on my summer vacation....

Well, what I did on day 3 of my summer vacation that is...It was a beautiful day here at the beach, blue skies, sunshine, but cold! Here are some little treat bags that I will be handing out next Wed at my open house. They are so simple to make, using the big shot, the scallop circle die and an easy to make box inside. The directions and other designs were totally cased from Patti, she has a lovely blog...check it out.

Tomorrow promises to be sunny and warm, but I still have plans to make some cards, before my Hubby joins me for a long weekend.

Here is an update on my hostess special, still plenty of dates to pick from, but only 1 scallop punch left!! Act fast....I have some amazing new products to show you , and the make and take will be so fun!!

Hostess Special...I am so excited about the new catty, and I want you to benefit. All you need to do is book a workshop...I will do all the work, and in addition to the fantastic hostess benefits I will also order you ANY designer paper in the new Catalog. Let me tell you...this is a great offer.

Stay tuned, I will be back tomorrow with another fun sample for you...

June 27th EVENT IS CANCELLED....

Due to circumstances beyond my control, we can no longer use the cafeteria where I work, so the event on Sunday is cancelled. I will email everyone with more details, but wanted to provide as much advanced notice as possible.


I am so sorry...you have no idea how sad this is making me!!!

Say good bye to razzle dazzle...

Time to say goodbye to a favourite dsp from the current catalog. You only have until June 30th to take advantage of the current catty. I will be placing an order next Sunday evening, after the Crop at Yorkview, and that will be the last time for me!!

Speaking of the Crop at Yorkview, we still have room for more friends to join the fun. The numbers are over 10 at this point, and for those who have joined in the fun, you know we have a huge room, tons of space and nice light for all our projects. There will be a new catty preview, and I will showcase some of the new colours. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will actually have my cattys by then...but not holding my breath. However, I will let you have a peak at the one I have!!

Enjoy your weekend. It looks like a quick storm is brewing, but with luck, it will pass quickly as I am off to the 50th anniversary of our camp..Pearce Williams Christian Centre.

Step into Summer

This Greenhouse Garden DSP is quickly becoming my all time favourite paper. The colours are amazing, and they coordinate so well with old olive....LOVE IT!

There are so many sources of inspiration and I have a few "go to sites." This card was an almost complete case from Lyssa, she has great ideas. Pals paper arts post a new challenge every Thurs. This week it is a Summer theme challenge. This card fits the challenge.

The little bird is from Elements of Style and I did the kissing technique to get the 2-toned colour. I stamped it first in Apricot appeal, then just lightly touched the old olive stamp pad to the very edges. Add some crystal effects, some glitter, and you have a lovely little card.

Thanks for stopping by today. Do you like the new look of my blog?? It is a new template, and I am very happy with it.

Sunday June 27th
Crop at Yorkview
We have the minimum number to run this event, but the more the merrier. If you would like more details, leave me a comment.

Somethings old, somethings new...

My absolute, all time favourite DSP is showcased on this card. LOVE IT! I also used the new large scallop circle punch, and for the old, a flower from Fifth Avenue Floral.

My starting point was the sketch challenge on Stamping 411. They give measurements, and tons of samples. Stop by and try it out.

Enjoy your evening.

I have seen it...you can see it too!

At long last, I have the new Catty...and in a word..."FANTABULOUS!"....every year it gets better and better, and this one is no exception. Now, I can't spill any details, but I am showing you some designer paper that I just received to play with. Over the next couple of days, I will post some cards using the dsp as well as some of the new in colours! The markers are the new in colours, and the punch is a larger scallop circle punch!

You too can see the catty...here is how! Join me on Sunday June 27th, as we get together for an all day crop at Yorkview. For those of you who have joined us in the past, know we have a great place to spread out all our stuff, and craft, create and gab all day!

If you live near London, this is a don't miss event. Reasonable fee of $15.00 includes morning snacks, lunch and afternoon snacks. You can use my Big shot, and as an added bonus...YOU CAN VIEW THE NEW CATTY! Anyone who places an order of $25.00 or more will get a new catty FREE.

I will also have my retired stuff there for sale. You will get the purchase with your order, as I can't sell my retired stuff until after July 1st. You just get first dibs, and as an added feature..this will be a BOGO event. Join the fun to learn all the details.

Lots of news to share

Hello Ladies be sure to check out the last chance list, retiring accessories etc. You can go HERE and see everything that won't be available in the new catty. Some of these items are while supplies last...so don't delay...get your order in asap.
