September's Color Combos

September's Color Combos

Remember, each color combo has 8 sheets of each color. 8x3=24; this way you can get several colors of cardstock for the same price as a solid color pack. Don't forget that you will have to pay tax and shipping, just like you are ordering a pack of cardstock. The deal is getting several colors instead of just one. And you know that the colors work really well together!

Color Combo #1
Rose Red, Regal Rose and Pretty In Pink
(in celebration and preparation for October's Breast Cancer Awareness cards!)


Color Combo #2
So Saffron, Not Quite Navy, Dusty Durango

Color Combo #3Soft Suede, Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry
(See the Very thankful class examples for these cards)

Contact me today if you would like any of these color combos. I have enough cardstock on hand for #1 for you to pick up today. The other colors will need to be ordered. I will have several orders this month---so don't wait till the end to say you want these color combos! Price is for local pick up only. If you don't live in the Columbus area, then shipping with be additional.

Very Thankful Class

I changed up the examples for the Very Thankful class later tonight. The last samples all used the same color scheme---which I like very much---but was a bit boring. So I did these up.

I like these color combos so much that they will be this month's color combos!

August's Customer Appreciation Winner

Congratulations Carrie B! You are now the proud owner of the "Darling Dots" stamp set.

Fortune is also on my side as Carrie is coming over in the morning for the Ribbon of Hope class.

Since my kids should be sleeping; I had Mitch pick the winner.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow's classes.

Ribbon of Hope class examples

Here are the card examples of the Ribbon of Hope class (September 2).

Remember that everyone who signs up for a class or attends a class will earn tickets for that month's customer appreciation drawing.

I'm really pleased with these cards. They went together easily--meaning that this stamp is easy to use and create cute, but fun cards quickly.

I've been cleaning my stamp room the past few days. I tell ya, it's amazing anything gets done up there!

I had a great time at the Cross Creek Block Watch Social last night. I met some really fun ladies. I replaced Mitch in the winning-the-raffle gig this year. I won 4 free passes to Galaxy Games and Golf(my kids LOVE this place. Me, not so much but can tolerate), $15.00 for Touch of Gourmet, $15.00 for Culver's and the winning bid for 4 skating passes with skate rental for the Chiller. Not bad for a few hours of my evening! And the weather was perfect!

I forgot to take my camera--again!

I have two swaps to make this weekend for the mail on Monday. Then I have the last project for the Ribbon class and the last card for the Very Thankful class.

Mitch got me a easy-to-use laminator and I haven't had it out of the box yet. Kids and I went to HL today and I found some cardstock stickers that would make great bookmarks. And the bonux: stickers were 50%off! I also picked up Mod Podge to have on hand when I start working on the wooden doorhangers, little candy boxes, mailboxes and tins. I found more foam brushes while cleaning today. I found a bunch of stuff while cleaning today, but that's for another day!

I LOVE BEING A DEMO!

One of the perks of being a demo is being able to order sets and accessories from the catalog and minis BEFORE it becomes available to everyone else.

Check out this sneak peak:


Can you see the new punch?

The Holiday mini is 40 pages of FABULOUSNESS.

Holiday minis should be arriving in your mailboxes sometime this week. All my hostesses and those who have placed orders within the last few months will receive one.

The Holiday mini goes live September 1.

Mark your calendars for a Holiday class in September. Each guest will make 6 projects featuring items from the Holiday mini for $10.00. There will be three different sessions available, so there will be a time that will fit your schedule.


Bring a friend new to me receive a $5.00 gift certificate. No limit on how many gift certificates can be earned. If your new friend(s) brings a friend(s), SHE gets a gift certificate and a special gift also!

It will be a great time to join the next round of clubs, sign up for a class, get your Cast-a-Spell bundle, monthly color combos. There will be door prizes and Holiday mini class specials--don't miss it!

Start planning on coming---sneak peak projects will be posted over the next few weeks.
