3. Swap cards with everyone in your group
4. And make the card created by your staff member, EASY!!

A Challenge

In this week's e-mail we posted a challenge: take a photo (perhaps one that you have been waiting for the "Perfect" idea) or group of photos and create your project.

I am working on a picture of John and Joey from hockey and I am getting pretty excited about the outcome. It feels really good to take 45 minutes to myself and create.

So get your pics, gather your supplies or run into the store and get your project done!!!

Post your finished project on Facebook and you could win this week' prize!! ~Marget

Mother's Day is just around the corner

Those of you who know me well, know that things usually get done a little last minute, which is why I am so excited that I have one of my Mother's Day gifts done (minus the pictures)! I love these new printers trays from 7 Gypsies and just knew that 5 grandkids would fit perfectly for display in my mother-in-laws kitchen. Shhh! Don't tell her I want it to be a surprise

Lots of new stuff!!

Well Marget said I could order a few things....so for the record I ordered a few things and alittle bit more :)

We received so much new product this week:

*The new "72 and Sunny" line from We R Memory Keepers
*4 new lines from Reminisce {Easter, Teen, Graduation, Camping}
*4 new lines from TPC {Easter, Undersea Adventure, Birthday Celebration, Girlfriends}

And we got in 72 colors of Copic Markers!!!! Judy is very excited about this :)

We also received Tote bags for the Cricut expression and they are polka-dotted and very cute, one already found a new home last night :)

And to round things off we received some fun new stamps from Stampendous...Charlene's new favorite **Changito** He is the cute Monkey stamp everyone loves. Stampendous came out with some new cling sets that are a great bargain! We also have in the small pails from Stampendous that make great little Easter containers....very fun.

I was able to work hard last night to make sure everything is out and ready so stop by to see all the new pretty product!

Take care.

Look "who" just arrived!

We just got in the new baby line, Pitter Patter, from Making Memories!!!
I love it all! Lots of yummy paper and embellishments for all those cute baby albums we are all {still} working on.
Stop by the store to see this new line.
Take care!

Thank You Ella!!!

One of our long time favorite people was in the store this morning and curious about the new self-adhesive glitter paper. So we started to play...and play and play! This stuff is amazing! It will go through every die cut machine and it even works great with punches! We used the purple glitter paper with the Fiskars floral border punch and Fantastic!! So, not only does it cut great but I am NOT covered in glitter, it's not on my hands and it's definitely not sticking to my die!!
Thanks Ella for the play date!
~Charlene

Vonda is a Genius!!

There is still space in the class this Wednesday the 10th at 6:30 but I am so glad that Vonda has agreed to offer this class again at the end of the month because I will be in the class on Tuesday, March 30th -- so if you take the class this week, don't tell me I want to be surprised ~ Marget

Come to this class prepared to go beyond the simple spray-on-paper techniques of this fun product. You will learn specific product details and tips for working with this beautiful mist. Each participant will also comlete one-two projects as well as several techniques to add to your Technique Class Tag Book Class Supplies: Basic Tool Kit, heat embossing tool, and finger ready to get glimmery - Class Fee: $15

Basic Grey POTM for March

So the Basic Grey product arrived this past week and you get a ton of stuff with your kit, plenty of paper and embellishments left over to create another page and/or cards. The POTM (page of the month) group gets started the last week of March and there are still a few seats left, so get registered this week

PS Every month is using the latest product release from BG so you won't get ugly product from three years ago, this is the latest and greatest from one of the most popular companies in the industry. I will post the assembled page by Wednesday and leave it up in the store. So get registered and get ready to have some fun every month!!

Yummy New Product from Silhouette!

It is fair to say that it was easier to make the shirts with the heat transfer paper than to get the boys to sit for the picture!

This was so easy and so fun. I just used my silhouette to create my text and image, cut it out and ironed it on.

This new heat transfer paper comes in lots of great colors and flat or flocked. I chose the flocked, of course and the shirts are adorable (even on the first try). The possibilities are endless, you can use the heat transfer on any fabric project, including quilts, home decor (monogram pillows) personalized hats, baby gifts, shirts for kids, my head is spinning with fun project ideas !

Stay tuned and watch for my next project that Jen and I are working on with the rhinestone kit!! Can everyone say BLING!!

My Pictures are Saved!!!

So, I have been talking to my husband/tech guy about my paralyzing fear of losing my pics that are store on the computer. I started researching an external hard drive, on-line back up companies and I have found the solution. The Picture Keeper is a USB drive that automatically backs up my pictures every time I plug it in. It also allows me to take the drive to CVS or Meijer to print pics for some instant gratification.

The Picture Keeper is PC and Mac compatible and comes in three sizes:
4,000 photos $34.99
8,000 photos for $$69.99
16,000 photos for $99.99

Snow!!!

OK, so we can choose to be irritated by the snow day or take advantage of some great photo opportunities with the kid-lets. Granted I am not going to throw the babies out there, but I am going to sneak out back and get some great shots of Joey and the posse building a snow fort or sledding. So get your camera, get out there and send me some of the pics that you get!



Quickutz Club meets tonight and tomorrow night so be sure to call and get your name added to the project list and while you are there get some Quickbucks to save big on your March purchase. We just got a QK shipment in at the end of last week, so check out the January release and some old favorites.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year! I love New Years, it is definitely one of my favorite holidays, all of the hope and excitement for the future. So many of us are setting goals and making resolutions to make 2010 a fabulous year. I am going to start 2010 with a "State of our Family" layout using the January page map. This is my way of creating a starting point in my scrapbook. I have loved looking back at these pages and seen how much my family changed and with the addition of our twin boys, I can't wait to get to work.

Why not get busy creating your own "State of the Family" layout using the page map and enter to win an American Crafts gift basket of product and be featured online and in the store. Stay tuned and I will post my layout next week for a little inspiration!!
