Play date added to March calendar

DUE TO A FAMILY OBLIGATION IN PLANO (BABY SHOWER!) I HAVE RESCHEDULED OUR PLAYDATE FOR SATURDAY, MARCH 27 FROM 1:00 - 5:00 P.M.  I'M REPOSTING THE PREVIOUS INFORMATION IN CASE YOU FORGOT WHAT WE ARE DOING!

PREVIOUS POST:  Since TAC now carries the Spellbinders label Nestabilities and Impressabilites, one of my customers (Debby) said that she would benefit from having an opportunity to practice with these new tools, so ...

PLAY DATE has been scheduled for Saturday, March 27 from 1:00 - 5:00 p.m. at poki's house. 

WHAT TO BRING:  your own paper, your die cutting machine (if you want) and dies  (It would be nice if you could bring some to share! poki likes to play too - be sure to label your supplies with your name, so we will not get confused!)

WHAT WE'LL DO: 

1. TRY OUT THE LABELS AND IMPRESSION PLATES
 Everyone will get a chance to experiment with the Nestabilities and Impressabilities (poki will have all 6 sets of Nestabilities and all 4 Impressabilities by then)  in a BIG SHOT and a SIZZIX machine - that's the machines that I have.

2. CUT EXAMPLES FROM YOUR OWN PAPER - to take home and play

3. EXPERIMENT WITH DIES AND IMPRESSION PLATES FROM OTHER COMPANIES TOO  I own QuicKutz, Sizzix  and Cuttlebug dies and impression plates and you are welcome to try them out that day.

I've been busy today ...

Until this afternoon the card designs for February Card Club were just  "living in my head" and on a piece of paper that I cannot FIND!  But I changed all that in the last couple of hours!!

Card Club meets on Wednesday, Feb 24 at 6:00 p.m. at poki's house.  Be sure to RSVP by Monday, Feb 22 if you want to attend!

Here are the ALL OCCASION cards we will be doing at Card Club

We used an "old book" for one of our ESCAPE projects - and I was inspired!  I just love the Amberley Grace color palette.  Stamp is  from Level A hostess set from new Serendipity Street.


This little "hello" is from a Level B Hostess Set in Serendipity - I just love it!

The sentiment for this simple, smart, sophisticated wedding card, comes from Level C hostess set in our Core Catalogue.  (I guess I was really into hostess sets today!)

This little car just "toots my horn!" (That's the name of the set - and it's new to Serendipity Street).  Can't you just see me grinning from ear to ear!


The scan of this card doesn't show you all of the design lines that I did on this card front!  Can't wait for you to see it!  The letter P is from Tutti Frutti.  I've bought so many sets of Tutti Frutti the alpha stickers are beginning to  pile up!  I think this is a great way to use them - and make yourself a PERSONALIZED monogram card to share with a friend! Or if you're like me with lots of sets, you could make your friend a whole set of monogrammed cards!  smile!

And the winner is ...

At TECH on Wed., Feb 10, I started a door prize jar ... I had 3 prizes to give away in February, and the lucky winners are:

Miss Moxie SWIC, Ribbon, Hardwared
Beckie H

3 Mini Albums
Kim P

Birthday and Anniversary List Album

All other tickets will remain in the jar for future door prize drawings!
