Holiday Open House Card Contest Winners
Holiday drum roll please ..... the First Prize Winner is Kathleen Coccia with her golden "Happy Thanksgiving" card. Kathleen embossed gold leaves & acorns that she cut and popped on a field of stamped leaves then layered this image to a metallic hounds tooth paper for a perfect mix. Woo!
Also a winner is Denise for her "Lovely Red Doors Digital Holiday". Denise took a photo of her parent's church on James Street then filled in every pixel to make this graphic black & white memorable card.
"Prettiest" goes to our sweet Heidi Ratliff who created a contemporary snowy night with dry embossed trees and Old English styled words of Christmas Joy. (no pink anywhere?? Heidi)
"Most Creative" goes to Marion Casolare for her "Winter Eyes". If you know Marion's work, she always creates cards that make you smile and inspect the card just to see what she used and how. By the way...those are mulberry eyes.

Just a Reminder...

We are getting geared up for A Muse A Palooza- we can't wait to share the new images with you! Here are some adorable winter cards that are similar to the ones you'll be creating in some of the classes BUT, these are not the new images! I can just see the new ones working perfectly with these cards... Sherry has some amazing classes lined up for this event. So many great ideas rolled into one day!
A Muse makes small stamp images, perfect for customizing your own little scenes, creating simple and easy cards or cute tags. The images are small enough to create your own backgrounds too. And they are big enough to color in and decorate with glitter and more.
They have the cutest stamps-I love them all! They go great with a variety of punches too..



There will be crop this Friday the 3rd at 9:30 am.
We will complete a 4th of July page, fee $8. All materials provided.
Please bring your basic kit and photos.

Some new stuff....
Yay! It's Friday!
Are you signed up for any classses this weekend? If not-you should! There are two awesome classes on the schedule you won't want to miss.
Today is the deadline to sign up for Jenn's class!Her class is artsy, fun and sooo informative! So many mediums to discuss that many of you may have been wondering about for so long....don't wait any longer! And learn amazing techniques using them! See our post below for class info!
The Canvas Album class is so vintage and freestyle! So fun to make too! Glimmer Mist, Painting, Stamping and more! Use vintage music papers and old book papers to adorn your pages. Awesomeness! Also see post below about this class!
And we got a box of new goodies!
Jenni Bowlin -new Bingo Cards and Letter Sticker Alphas (very vintage and fun)
Crate Paper-Lillian Collection Kit, Die Cuts and Die Cut Papers
Little Sprout Collection Kit, Glitter Die Cuts
Cosmo Cricket-Early Bird Papers and Stickers!
New Accucut Dies to play with!
And...A Muse A Palooza Stamps are in BUT-we can't show you until the event starts!
Let's just say-they will knock your socks off, get you in the spirit of Christmas and
have you singing some Christmas tunes! LOL! Well, maybe not the tunes...but you will be inspired to get a head start on those cards for sure!!! And just so you know-we ordered a limited amount this year-only 6 of each image instead of 12 like last year. They will be first, come first serve so if we sell out-you'll have to special order. Which might take a couple of weeks after the event. Just wanted to give everyone fair warning-LOL!
OK-Thats all for today! Gotta go create some samples!
Hope to see you at the store soon!
