60 days

until Christmas!!!!! Let the countdown begin!

Are you making cards? Have you seen all the amazing new papers at the store? I stopped by yesterday in hopes of a card falling into my lap....the card didnt, but the paper did! LOL I have a *few* ideas floating around. I was hoping to get to some today but not in the scrappy mood I guess. Maybe next weekend! lol

Are you planning to make gifts? Check out some of the ideas Kari and the design team have in and around the store. Some very cute mini book ideas, a bunch of cards with a holder, 2 page layouts that you can frame.

Do you remember Advent Calendars from when you were a kid? Those little chocolates each day.........ya you can still get them, but they arent the same. Why not make your own? Kari has an amazing sample of a cookie sheet one in the store of one she made - it may even be a class? So fun!!!!! I have also seen them made with a flip book, little boxes attached to the wall and also a drawer one. My friends mom made one for them with empty film canisters. So fun if you want to put little gifts to the kids or yourself lol.

Dont forget to ask Kari and the girls about the Christmas Wish List. I know this has helped a *few* darling husbands, boyfriends, significant others in the past! You just write down your list and they keep it on file. As the items are purchased, they are marked off your list. Perfect!

Oh and the always popular gift certificate.....gotta love them....for yourself, for a friend, for a coworker or just because.

60 days. Are you ready????????

Banners???

So I finally found the pictures I took of the banners I made for my nieces bedrooms...they were my first attempt, and i have to say they are quite addicting. Since these two I have made a summer one, and just recently a halloweeen one, (which is hanging in the store over the cardstock). All my letters were cut out with the slice & most of the rest of the banners are just made from scraps of stuff in my stash. Enjoy & let me know what you think....:)

WOW...

CRAZY, FUN, FABULOUS Weekend we had.... Just wanted to send out a BIG thank you to all who attended our Croptacular on the weekend, it was amazing. Too laugh, be silly, scare each other, bring out the bling & put on some perfume....I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT! For those of you who could not make it....we missed you & hopefully you will be able to make it next time.

Make sure you check instore to see some of the upcoming classes, grab some of the fabulous christmas paper that is in.

Take care everyone...:)
