Blow out sale...retired accessories list

Here is a list we have been waiting for ...the retired accessories list. In addition, Stampin UP has announced an Inventory blow out sale from now until Jan 18th. These are both first come, first serve, and the best way to order is via my demosite...the link is here.

All you need to do is click on shop now, and you will be taken to a page with a menu on the left hand side. Click on specials, and you will see everything that is on sale.

I will also be placing an order on Thurs..so act now...and take advantage of these great offers.

The final project

Here you go...finally a picture to show you the inside of the card organizer. I made this one using retired designer paper, but for our special day we will be using the yummy new Raspberry Tart paper. It is fabulous.

Later on this week, I will have a sample for you made with the raspberry paper.

Enjoy your day, and don't forget to let me know if you are attending our special event on Jan 17th...lots of fun, food, projects and PRIZES...there will be a surprise or 2 as well...

Another teaser...and what I did today

What I did was go to PWCC and help with summer staff interview day...the kids are amazing...makes me wish I could be a summer camp counselor....For those who live in the London area, be sure to check out the link to Pearce Williams Christian Centre...it is an affordable, convenient and fantastic venue to send your children.

What I didn't do today was finish up my project I have been teasing you with...so I will tell you what it is and show you the finished project tomorrow morning.

In case you haven't figured it out, we are making a card organizer. Each page has a pocket for cards, as well as a monthly calender that you can record your special events on. In addition to the organizer, we will be making 10 cards...2 each of 5 designs to get you started for the card year.

The fee for the class will be $25.00, with a $20.00 credit back for your order from the NEW CATTY! So in reality...you will pay $5.00 for 10 cards and a great organizer to keep them in.

I need everyone to pre-register so I know how many kits to put together...

See you tomorrow...we are off to friends to watch the Canadian Boys, hopefully kick but in the semi-finals.

Teaser #2

As promised I am back with a little bit more information. Any guesses on what we will be doing?

Here is another clue...How do you keep track of where you are going and what time you need to be there? How do you keep track of who is celebrating what and when?

I will be back late tomorrow with the final details and a sample of our special project.

Until then...have a wonderful evening...

Just Buzzin By...

Happy New Year my friends, it is a lovely winter day here in Ontario. We have the fire going, and are just chillin watching some old movies.

Did anyone watch the Canada vs US World Junior Hockey game last night? I have to tell you I am not a huge sports fan, but that game was amazing. Both teams are made up of very talented players...even the announcers said this was a game for the history books. Great plays, great saves...tons of excitement. It made for a very good new years eve!

I did get a chance to play with one of the new sets from the new spring and summer catty. I love these little bees, combined with the Washington Apple designer paper it makes for a fun card. The little bees are popped up with dimensionals.

Make sure you come back tomorrow, as I have a big announcement to share with you....

Wedding Bells are Ringing

Here are a couple of samples using the new Love you Much Bundle...I love this. Paper, punches and stamps..oh my! Stay tuned for details of an upcoming class using this bundle.

As I mentioned, my niece is getting married this summer...and they asked me to make the favours. This is going to be so much fun...and I know all the cousins, and aunts, and sisters, and inlaws will lend a helping hand.

The card is a standard card, with the top flap folded back on itself. I used versa mark to stamp the inside, and used white embossing powder to add the detail.

The little gift bag is made with some left over designer paper and the medallion is from the Love you much set.

Thanks for stopping by...and if you have any ideas to share for wedding favours...let me know. Nothing is finalized yet. They do like the little top note gift bag, and they would be easy peasy to make alot of in a short period of time.
