Weekly Deals

Hi!

I wanted to share this weeks WEEKLY DEALS with you in case there is anything that you'd like to save money on!  Just let me know, you can email or text or order directly from my website and it will ship direct to your door!  Get ready for Fall and some fun treat bags with the In Color Washi tape and Mini Clothespins!  Just run a strip of washi on the clips and instant cuteness!  Clip on one of our mini treat bags or paper sacks and tad-dah!!

As many of you know it's that time already -- yep, we've already moved Nicole in for her Senior Year of college -- oh my gosh how did that happen?  She is serving as president of her sorority Alpha Delta Pi (ADPi) and living in the house again.  She's majoring in Physiology and adding minors in Spanish, Biochemistry and Psychology.  She completed her MCAT exams in January and will begin the process of applying to Medical Schools to continue her education towards becoming a doctor.  And today we are loading up the car to move Rachel into her dorm at the University of Arizona tomorrow morning!!  She is enrolled in the pre-Nursing degree and will apply to the Nursing program once she completes the necessary prerequisites.  I think she will be a great nurse!  She is so excited and ready for this!  And the girls truly are very happy to have this coming year together!  Bear Down, Let's Go Wildcats!!

What that means for me, I have no idea how I am going to respond to this thing called "Empty Nest" but I'm going to try to enjoy it and make it a year of working on myself, no excuses, no guilt, just do it.  Time to put myself first and work towards a healthier me.  

I hope to be posting my class schedule again soon as I gear up for the Fall!  I should have plenty of time - right?  We are hosting our FALL FEST on next Saturday so right now I am knee deep in event prep!!  We have 120 guests coming, so there's lot to prep, stuff, assemble, and stuff and more stuff!!  It's quite a process but Diana and I have been co-hosting these together for some many years that we have quite a rhythm and process that just sort of takes over and we manage to get er done and keep on doing them!  I absolutely love hosting these days and seeing a room full of friends, team members, customers, their customers and especially the 1st time attendees -- all stamping, smiling, laughing and creating and sharing in the joy of stamping!!

All for now, lots to pack so that we can load early evening, enjoy a nice dinner together and try to get to bed to be up for an early morning!!

Thanks for hanging in there with me!

INKstravaganza, Take Home Treats!

Hey there!
I hope you are enjoying the FREE Shipping that's available this week!  Please let me know if I can help you out at all!  I also hope you've been enjoying the look into my INKstravaganza Day!  I think today I will finish off with their take home treats and then do the make-n-takes on another day!

They received a package of the Gold Foil & Gold Designer Vellum Paper
presented with a personal banner tag!  Love adding all the little details to make it extra sweet!

I love using my Vintage Cake Stands to make presenting things a little more fun!

Belly Band of Ribbon with a cute little layered tag dressing up the Gold Baker's Twine!

Gold Vellum and the Mini Treat Bag Thinlit die is the perfect way to give away Gold Buttons!

Just a close up, all of the punched pieces for the tag are from the Mini Treat Bag Thinlit Die

Our Kraft Square Gift Boxes with a decorated topper filled with Salt Water Taffy

A close up so you can see the detail of the box topper :)

Well I hope you feel a bit inspired to use your Gold Foil paper, Gold Vellum Designer Paper, and the Gold Soiree Designer Series specialty paper too!  I had such a great time designing with these papers and coordinating embellishments!  I didn't take a picture of my inspiration tray but next time I will try to remember to do that!  I cannot recall which DIY HGTV type show it was but the designer always started by pulling items out and setting them on her 'inspiration tray' and then you just keep going back to it, every time you create!  When creating for a day like this I really try to shoot for versatility, duplication, color combinations and creating a cohesive look in the end but yet where smaller items still have their own look!

Come back tomorrow where I show you what they made for their make-n-take projects, always a fun part of the day - we visit while we just relax and stamp!

Thanks for stopping by!

One more Bumblebee!

Hi again!

I have to say the day that I was playing with this little stamp, I just didn't want to stop!  So cute to color in and easy too!!  Love the quick gratification and it ended up being more versatile than I first thought!  I apologize that this picture is a little bit out of focus (or it's my aging eyes) but it's night time and I don't have good light to retake the picture.

Again this one uses the same base of supplies, Baby Bumblebee and Sweet Dreams DSP, and I stamped it on a framelit and then cut the basic black layer from the same size/shape and just cut it in 1/2 and turned it on its side to give it a fun little layer!  Same ribbon and added some new Washi Tape to a clothespin and brought back in the black Baker's Twine too!

The project is actually a flat white gift sack (non gusset) and you score on the sides and bottom to create your own gusset and then folder over the top edge and clipped with a clothespin!  I had these bags in the studio so I thought it'd be a fun little gift packaging!

I hope you like this little single stamp now too!  Because of the paper I did start out pretty traditional with black and yellow bumblebee colors but I wonder how adorable it would look with pink for a baby girl??  or blue??  and now we have soft sky and pink pirouette Blendabilities to color with too!! NEW pastel colors are in the Occasions Mini Catalog!

See you tomorrow, thanks for stopping by and for coming back!
