Dreamin'

Fall is so beautiful - the kids are back in school, the colors are changing, the air is crisper, we get to wear new warmer clothes, and the lighting is just perfect for taking beautiful fall pictures.

This month's workshop Dreamin' features soft browns, warm oranges, and crisp blues with just a touch of sparkle to bring all of your fall pictures to life. Our new bronze glitz glitter gel adds just the perfect touch of sparkle to your layouts to bring them to life and highlight your fall memories.


The Dreamin' workshop kit features the beautiful level two paper pack with two bonus pieces of cardstock, an exclusive C-sized stamp set, an instruction book with color photos and easy to follow steps, designer shimmer brads and bronze glitz glitter gel. The additional layout features artwork from Magic! and perfectly pairs with the first layout in color and harmony.

Join us October 5 or13 at 7pm to complete this workshop!

Typeset Workshop-

Join us September 22 at 7 pm for this workshop!

Typeset Workshop uses the NEW CRICUT Art Philosophy cartridge which is so easy to use with our new cardstock weight patterned papers and coordinating stamp sets that fit perfectly every time! This workshop also features the new milepost corrugated shapes, pearl paint and my new favorite edge distressing technique: re-inker's!

The workshop kit is $33.50 plus shipping and tax and includes a level two paper pack with two bonus sheets of neutral cardstock, an exclusive C-sized stamp set, the NEW milepost shapes, pearl paint and a workshop guide with step by step detailed instructions for completing the featured layout.

Additionally there is a second layout as seen on page 19 of the IDEA BOOK that we will complete at the workshop using the same kit. This fun layout uses one of Jeanette's patterns found in her latest how-to book: Magic!

Cricut - Art Philosophy

WOW - the new Cricut Collection Art Philosophy is to die for - die cut that is! For $109.95 you get the exclusive cartridge (featuring 700 shapes including 3D boxes and flowers , card bases and a versatile font), THREE exclusive stamp sets designed to coordinate perfectly with the shapes on the cartridge (it even tells you what size to cut them right on the stamp set!) and three coordinating chipboard collections that also match perfectly to the shapes featured on the cartridge and stamps!

Complimentary stamp images are outlined in red throughout the idea book and will have the size listed on the stamp set sheet (the clear sheet the acrylic stamps are stuck to when you get them) so that you can perfectly cut your images to fit with the stamp set!

We are now happy owners of one beautiful pink Cricut Expression machine that can do images up to 12x24 so if you would like to come over and borrow (use) it you are more than welcome to come to one of our open crops. These are free to everyone to come and play - build a workshop you missed, learn a new technique, use our stamp sets or tools and get some scrapbooking or card-making done without the mess in your own home. The open crop dates for the next two weeks are as follows:

Sept 19- 7-10 pm
