in stitch'z

Another new something at the store! In Stitch'z...embroidery floss with templates to create neat little designs on scrapbook pages, cards or really any project you are working on! It will take a little more time to sew on your page, but i think it's well worth it!


The series has the embroidery floss (with two sewing needles!) and 4 different templates (well, each template comes with 4 different templates in each package!) and a paper poker and a soft mat to use the poker on! have fun using this!

the ribbon has finally arrived!!

look what has finally arrived!! all the ribbon from bazzill! 8 different colours...black, white, cream, brown, red, green, blue and pink...and each colour in 6 different styles!! i can't wait to start using some of this!! i think i am going to add a few different styles of ribbon to the Holiday Recipe Book and spruce up the black rings that hold the book together......



and also...12x6 albums and 6x12 albums from Bazzill as well! Green, Red, and Blue! The red one would make an adorable Christmas album...because we all know one cannot go through the Holiday's without taking photos...of the kids, the tree, the dog, the lights, the tipped over Christmas tree, the pie that didn't turn out, the burnt cookies.......okay lets hope a few of those don't happen...but they do make cute scrapbook pages!! enjoy the holidays!

My Creating Day...

Today i took some time and sat down and started creating. i know i have to come up with some December class ideas...and i thought a "Holiday Recipe" book would be really neat! i love the holidays and love the idea of baking cookies and frosting them (and of course eating a few!) and sharing them with family and friends. okay...at least that is a good idea, right?? the last time i wanted to bake cookies, i mixed up the sugar cookie recipe, put it in the fridge for an "hour" and didn't find the time to get back to it for **3** days!! needless to say, i tossed the dough!!
So hopefully this coming Holiday Season everyone will be able to put a little bit of time aside to bake some yummy cookies! And of course...put your favourite recipes in an adorable little {Recipe Book}! i can't wait to go home and go through my recipe book and decide which Christmas recipes to write into this new little recipe book!
**Coming Tomorrow...a December Calendar of classes and scrap nights and beginner classes!**

designs by dawn...

Miss Dawn Fellows...the ringleader of the scrapbook marathon...wanted to have a challenge, so she put together a few designs using a contest packet! And this is what she came up with...

an adorable book made from the cardboard that was in the packet...she is sooo creative!
she painted buttons, sanded the polka-dot brads, cut out felt...

one of the inside pages of the book

a page layout using the Love*Elsie line

one of the "rules" to the contest was to use only the products in the packet...she did!! the flip page is actually the packaging from one of the scrapbook products!!
very creative...great job Dawn!!

and the winner's pages....

Here they are!!

1st place winner: Tammy Boie

2nd place winner: Rachel Keinietz

3rd place: Jennifer Naumann

Congrats to you three on doing a fabulous job and also to everyone who submitted an entry!!

Scrapbook Marathon

During the Scrapbook Marathon we had a contest!! Everyone that wanted to enter the contest picked up a packet that had lots of scrapbook items and they created pretty much whatever they wanted to using only the items in the bag...and here is what they came up with.

i brought all the contest entries home that Saturday night spread them out on the spare bedroom floor and "judged" them...but of course i needed help judging so i had my husband help and then called in back-up...my friend Liz!!
