Hi Everyone,
 

We have a busy week planned for you with Demo Day on Saturday, a Saturday night crop and Demo Day Rewind on Sunday.   We have been receiving a lot of requests before Demo Day to hold kits for customers since a lot of our cards only will have 50 kits and may run out.  In an effort to reward those customers that attend Demo Day, any special orders for the projects will now be $2.50 just like our Creative Cafe card kits.   Additionally, the kits will not be pulled until the end of Demo Day, again so those in attendance have first dibs on the projects.  Therefore, special orders for Demo Day projects are not guaranteed.   We are sorry if you cannot come out to play with us on Demo Day! Hopefully, we will see you next month!

Wacky Wednesday Cards
Tina has been going card crazy creating three new special Valentine's cards for you.   The chocolates look so real.  These cards will be available all day Wednesday thru Friday.  Just $2 each.

Dare to Share from Alice I.

When we come up with the idea for the Dare to Share, we just never know what sort of projects your creative minds will come up with. Many of you know Alice from making her great cards on Demo Day.  Alice went way out of the box with this puzzle piece inspiration.  Her project has so many techniques that I know I will miss listing some of them.
 
Alice took a patterned paper and added a few different colors of spray over a couple of different stencils.  She also stamped some subtle images on the background paper.   My favorite details on the paper were her use of a paper towel roll as a stamp to get the paint circle rings and her sewn paper edges.  
 
 

Alice combined all sorts of different elements to create this collage of texture and color.  Notice the snap and the tab from a soda can.  She used different shades of Tattered Angels spray on her flowers to get that rich color with a great shimmer.  
 
Alice combined Tim Holtz tags with the spray inks.  Attached the lace ribbon with the Tiny Attacher.  She also got nice color on the doily and it adds some shape and texture to the base.  I love how she combined so many objects like buttons, bling, paper clips, charms, chipboard, lace pins, brads and everything else she had on hand.
 
When you are in the store be sure to see this layout in person.  Also, let us know if you would be interested in taking a class to make a similar layout.   I think I may be able to twist her arm a bit to teach this class.
