New Cuttlebug Embossing Folders

Hi Everyone - just a quick update on my summer hours. As you all know we have such short summers, and I find that we are all outside enjoying the weather and so business tends to drop off, so the summers hours will be as follows:

Wednesday 10-5
Thursday 12-9
Friday 12-9

Have a great summer and I still would love to see you all.

Wild Things - this line from Imaginisce is great for all those zoo photos - maybe you have some wild animals that live with you. I think this line would also be great for baby photos

Cuttlebug, Scor-Pal & Scor-Tape

Hi everyone!! The eagerly anticipated arrival of the cuttlebug embossing folders are here! I have received a full shipment with over 50 folders. If you would like a good selection, please pick them up soon. Also new in store is the scor-tape that is also very popular. This tape is incredible and has great sticking power. Great for those heavy duty items! Also in the store is the scor-pal. This tool is more than just a scorer. I will be doing some classes with this in the future!

Thanks for the inspiration

Have you ever had a creative block?? Do you ever sit down to make a card or scrapbook a page and just stare at it?? I found myself in that very situation this month. It seemed like no matter how long I stared at that same piece of paper, the ideas just were not flowing. I can say that is a first for me after teaching classes now for over 7 years. A great way to get over that block is to look elsewhere for inspiration. I have been looking to you, my customers. I have seen some incredible pages and cards recently and that has helped to get the ideas going. Also, I took the time to dig out some of my old pages and just enjoyed reading them and reminiscing about the days gone by. I hope that I can inspire and teach you by taking some classes and getting ideas from me just as you all inspire me.
