Open House Project

I realized before I left for Convention that I hadn't posted the photos of the projects we did at my open house at the beginning of July! My intention was to have those scheduled to post while I was away but I ran out of time before I left so you get to see them now:)



This was my favourite of the two. So simple yet it showcases a lot of new product - the Greenhouse Gala dsp; the coordinating stamp - Friends Never Fade; a new impressions folder; our clearlit die; and 1/8" taffeta ribbon. That's a lot packed into a simple card! I think some of my customers think that the Friends Never Fade stamp set is the only new one I have from the new catalogue but I do have more, I've just really enjoyed playing with this one and the paper that coordinates is just so beautiful!



I'm hoping to get my photos off my camera this weekend. I have a workshop tomorrow night and then will have most of the weekend free to get caught up. Well those are my intentions anyway, we'll see if it actually happens!



Thanks for stopping by!

Just one of my favourite things...

There are so many fabulous new products in the catalogue but one of my absolute favourite things is the new color coach. This coach can help you put together custom color schemes to express your unique creativity. Whether you want a quick reference of all colors in a collection, a card for every color, or blank cards to record your own color combinations, this swatch book Is for you!

■ Includes 55 double-sided cards with removable metal post fastener
■ Includes color theory cards and individual color swatch cards
■ On individual color cards, one side shows color, the other side lists coordinating colors
■ Card size: 2-3/4" x 4-1/2"

It is the BEST color reference tool ever. I find I get in a rut and use the same colors over and over but this offers you color choices that you may never have put together otherwise.

The color combination on this card was one that I pulled from the color coach - Cherry Cobbler - my favourite of the new colors, Pumpkin Pie and Night of Navy. This is one of my downline incentive cards that I worked on at my Open Stamp night on Friday. I've been using this stamp set - Friends Never Fade sooo much. I think I've created at least a dozen different cards using this one stamp set. The greeting is from the new set Word Play. I love it when a greeting uses a variety of fonts.

If I were to make a must have list of products from the new catalogue, the color coach would be the first thing on the list and that's why I've decided to offer it for FREE to anyone who signs up to be a demonstrator on my team during the months of July and August. The holiday mini demonstrator preorder period starts in August and just a heads up - this mini is the BEST ever! By becoming a demonstrator you can get 30% off your holiday mini preorder. That's a lot of money you could save and with the Christmas season approaching, also the best time to be a demonstrator.

If you'd like more information on becoming a demonstrator, check out the FAQ page or email me - I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have. Remember anyone across Canada can join! If you've been a demonstrator and the timing wasn't right but you'd like to rejoin, now is the time - you can rejoin SU! for only $45! Contact me for more information.

Thanks for stopping by!

Calling all Fabric Lovers!

Look what I've been up to... Isn't it awesome! I've been having so much fun using my Big Shot and fabric. This is hanging on my wall in my stamping area and a new club I am offering in September - the Block of the Month Club. Let me just start by saying that you do NOT need to be a quilter to participate in this club - as long as you have access to a sewing machine and know the basics of how to use it, then you can do this. It is so much easier that it looks. I am not much of a seamstress but I will definitely be trying my hand at more projects like this.

Anyway on to the details. Each month we will create a block and after 6 months you will have 6 blocks that can be stitched together to create a beautiful wall hanging! You pick your fabric so that it coordinates with your decor - think about this in a baby's room - sooo cute!

Details on dates and times still have to be determined based on interest - commitment will be an order between $30 and $35 each month for 6 to 8 months.

Let me know if you are interested and I will fill you in on the specifics!

Thanks for stopping by!
