Studio G – USE THEM challenge – (PRIZE INVOLVED!)

-WOW just realized i forgot to show y’all the new studio G fun coming soon!!! first up – BRAND NEW – CHALKS!!!!!!!!!
yes each little 4 pack is a BUCK – $1 – that means i have 24 chalks for you for $6. i cannot WAIT!!!

NEXT more inks and glitter glues – this time a matching set – how FUN is that?????
and then series 32 (are we REALLY on series 32???)

i think this set has some cute stuff in it!

all of these are up for pre-order in the store now and there are still a few series 26 left too.

NOW i hear disturbing things about peeps not USING these little guys they have been so avidly collecting! SAY IT ISN’T SO!!! well i would like to change that!! i have a challenge going over on Paper Craft Planet right now OR you can enter here – what do you have to do?? ATC sized valentine’s (even better if you make them with your kids) – think classroom valentines. and to inspire you – Page maps has some tag sketches that would work great for this.

between series 26 and series 29 there are ALOT of valentine stamps to choose from. and guess what else - there is a PRIZE – 3 brilliance ink dew drops of your choice!! these are superb for studio G stamps too!

deadline is feb 14th.

leave me a comment with a link to your cards!!

cha fun people fun time part……whats my name again…???

well i am home now – so sorry for the late post but i came home to a super sickie little pez-a-doodle. she is all stuffy, and coughy and her eyes are watering and just a big mess poor baby!

so day 4 was a total blur. i realized i had left my cell phone somewhere the day before so i did a bit of the re-trace my steps thing but never found it. so hubby just told me he got me another one and it’s PURPLE – YUMMO!!!

i will be working on getting the new goodies posted to the store so y’all can order away but keep in mind it is not all in stock so i will try and do a run down:

acetate boxes in stock now except the A2 size – those should be here in a couple days.

flower soft kits - about a week until they arrive but they are already up in the store to order

all things tim/ranger – late march-early april

zva bling – about 2 weeks maybe less

MINI KITS:

in stock right now – bittersweet and sweetie pie - RUN don’t walk over and get them before i run out!!! Once it is gone i won’t be ordering more!

new kits are coming:

the felties i showed you….. – those will be one of them

also mimosa by SEI

a very sparkly glittered easter collection of goodies

and some new doodlebug mini kits

these kits will be FABULOUS!! as an added bonus i will also be making clay and/or crocheted embellies to include with them to give you lots of new fun unique goodies to play with!

many of you already saw the handmade clay embellies on the Polkadot Pie samples and here are some crocheted ones to give you an idea (totally unfinished – been busy lately):

also i will have some super secret DEElish embellies coming but it could be a couple months on those so i will keep that under wraps for now!

i spent a good bit of my last day running around to some non papercraft booths and playing – i did one stroke painting with donna dewberry – i have been following her for decades i think and always wanted to try that technique. i also played with some different types of clays and checked out some yarn and crochet patterns.

spent alot of time at the clearsnap booth at the request of my studio G rep and jenny really gave me the grand product tour – so thank you to jenny.

on our last night i had set up a dinner with anyone from the cricut board who would be at cha. we met up at bubba gumps:

had a BLAST girls!! it was SO good to meet y’all!!!

and here we are the three muskateers:

Sweetie Pie Kit is finally IN STOCK!!! How CUTE……..

I have been anxiously awaiting the goodies i ordered for one of Pezzy’s Picks - new mini kits hand picked to coordinate with the new Polkadot Pie stamp line:

These goodies are from the brand spankin’ new Sweetie Pie collection by Bo Bunny. The kit includes above 4 double sided 6 x 6 papers (4 sheets of each – pics show both sides), matching 6x 6 double dot cardstock in 3 colors (6 sheets each), plus an assortment of matching brads, buttons and flowers (total will be less than what is shown – pic is for reference) AND 3′ each of 4 different double dot coordinating ribbons (2 are 5/8″ and 2 are 3/8″)

of course i just had to break it out and play – even if it was just a tiny bit! i started with taylor’s cute sketch ->

and here is the yummy card:

i colored the chocolates from the two chocolate treats polkadot pie sets with copics and accented them with star dust stickles. then attached the polka dot ribbon – quick but cute

i am working on a brand new look for the website with a TON more functionality. it MIGHT be up by Wednesday – YAY!!!
