This weeks kit is a beautiful Christmas Card kit which I have created from the new Happy Holidays line by Fancy Pants Designs!   This line features paper in rich shades of greens, reds, pinks and turquoises!!  This kit contains 10 cards including envelopes!  Paper for each card has been precut and each card is bagged separately with matching embellishments and a photo of the sample card I designed.  You can follow my design or DO IT YOURSELF!  Either way, you will have 10 stunning cards ready for the mail!   I have used “Stickles” to add some sparkle to each card as well as some dark red ink around the cut edges of the paper.  Stickles and ink are NOT included in the kit, so you can use your own or purchase some here as we have a great selection including some of the new “Distress” and “Glitz” Stickles!  If you haven’t tried this fabulous glitter glue, you don’t know what you’re missing!  Get some today!!!

This kit is priced at $25.00 which is only $2.50 per card!!!  Quantities are limited, so don’t wait!  I will try to get a picture up later today!!

I know there have been a lot of you asking about the winter retreat…but we have not received many deposits yet!!  I know its a bad time of year to have to put down money for something that ISN’T Christmas!  (unless of course this is a Christmas gift for YOU)   But I do need to know how many are planning to attend the winter retreat in Bloomfield January 23-25th.  If we do not have sufficent numbers with deposits made by the end of next week, we will have to cancel the retreat. 

So PLEASE, if you are planning to come, get in touch with me ASAP!!!

Thanks:)

Here is a beautiful idea for a quick gift this year!  Ninabrook Designs has created a beautiful “Desk Topper” picture holder!  Holds 4 pictures and comes with a full sheet of rub ons so you can personalize yourself!  This kit will take you only an hour or so to put together!  And it’s so cute!!  Come by the store and see my sample in person!   Cost is just $24.00 and everything you need is included plus full colour photos and step by step instructions!  Get yours today, they won’t last long!

This week’s class is a beautiful sage green Christmas album made with gorgeous Chatterbox products!!  Imagine joy and peace on the front cover, beautiful colour inside, and tonnes of Christmas ribbon on the rings.  Very elegant and fun, and perfect for holiday pictures or as a hostess gift.  Perhaps for a teacher or friends… or for you!

Join us this week to make your own special Christmas album!!  No pictures required for class, you will add them at home later!!

Class runs Wednesday from 7-9pm and is just $25.00, a STEAL when you consider that the product included has a retail value of MORE than $25.00.  (what was I thinking??)   Register today as space is extremely limited!

Congratulations to Anne P. for her “Smelly Cat” layout which was chosen as the Fan’s Favourite for October!  (yes, I know, I am a little behind in my bloggin)   Anne wins a $20.00 store gift certificate for her winning layout!   Our $5.00 winner fis Rose L.  Congratulations!  Thanks to all who took part in this months challenge!  

November challenges are all sold out!  We look forward to voting on them after the 25th!  Watch for our December kit as I am hoping to get it ready earlier than later, in order to give you time to complete before Christmas comes along!!

This weeks Do-It-Yourself Kit features 6 cute Christmas Cards!  Using the Three Bugs holiday line these cards are quick and easy to assemble!  Step by step instructions and colour photos are included with this kit!  Cost is only $15.00….or less than $3.00 per card!  Get yours while they last and get those cards in the mail!

Hey, if you have not checked out our website lately, you don’t know what you are missing!!!  We have a class coming up this Tuesday November 11 at 7pm that you DO NOT WANT TO MISS!!!   This is a Christmas Countdown Box.  (like an Advent Calendar)

The neatest part is this box can actually be used for 2 different countdowns because the little boxes you see can be switched end for end.  So come to class and decorate your Christmas box with us and then go home and decorate the other side for another occasion…ie:  Birthday, Halloween, Easter etc.  For more ideas visit Karen Fosters website at:
