Sketch Inspiration

Do you have a scrapbooking product that you buy over and over because you like the look of it, but just never quite know what to do with it? For me it is the different shaped paper - circles, scallops etc. I must have half a dozen sheets in my collection and love the way it looks but I always have such a hard time figuring out what to do with it. After a trip to Page Maps today, I am now inspired to dig into that box and dig out on of those sheets. I found this great sketch and will post my version on Saturday.



If anyone is willing to play along with me, post a link to your layout in the comments box before noon on Saturday and I will post yours on the blog too. And keep watching the blog for more fun stuff coming!

Sneak Peak


So here it is a sneak peak of the next kit!


No we do not get the cutie pie, but the paper is a little tease!

Sarah will be posting later with a sketch, for you to have some fun with.

And I will announce our first Guest Designer later this week!

Have a great day and thanks for checking in

Busy Busy Busy

Holy Smokes!

I just need to know if it is Boxing Day yet? I think that is the next day off I have! Not complaining but did you know? It is only 39 more days until Christmas? YIKES!

Well enough whining now it is time to tell you what is going on in the store and WOW are we busy! I am just going to give you a run down of the rest of this month!

Saturday November 22nd Remember the in store crop from 9am - 9pm. There is a $25 charge and Lunch (soup and sandwiches), dinner (pizza) and coffee tea and water are all included!
There are a few spots left so do not hesitate to give us a call to book to come and join us!

Sunday November 23rd due to a hold at the border we have rescheduled our Technique Tuesday Christmas card class. There are still a few spots left so if you are interested, give me a call.

Saturday November 29th The class I think is very exciting (because I am going to try and sneak into it), is the Mono line writing class by Trish Klus. Trish has told me that it does not matter what your writing is like you will leave being able to do what she does!

Now I must run to get December planned for you all
Have a great day and thanks for checking in!
