These Are A Few Of Our Favorite Things...

For the next few days we thought it would be fun to share with you some of the staff's favorite gift giving ideas...some are new, some are old, but all of them are favorites and would make a perfect gift for everyone on your list...including yourself!

Today I'll share my all time favorite product ever...the 7 Gypsies Printer Tray! Here are some sample images I found on the internet...enjoy...




7 Gypsies makes several styles of the printers tray, but I especially love this original 12 frame one. It holds 12 ATC sized cards, photos, ephemera and more, and will make a real statement displayed on your wall full of your treasured artwork and photo memories. I've decorated several of these for gifts and always find it hard to part with them...

Here is a version by Tim Holtz...holiday style...don't you just love it!


We've got lots of 7 Gypsies and Tim Holtz goodies to adorn your tray, too, such as knobs, baubles, grungeboard, clips, chains, buttons, and much more! Come on in a take a closer look...

See You Soon...

Sensational Sunday

Many of you braved the stormy Sunday to see Nancy's demo...so glad you did!

Take a look at these so sweet stamps from Penny Black, featuring 'Mimi' and friends...Nancy created the cutest cards and tags...



And ornaments, mini books, place cards, accordion cards, folding cards and more...One of my favorites is the folding snowflake ornament, which is surprisingly easy to make.!



Nancy also showed you how to make an adorable hanging calender featuring Graphic 45 paper and 2012 calender stickers from SRM...you could quickly make several of these thrifty projects for those last minute gifts we all seem to need...for bunco groups, teachers aides, co-workers to name a few...


Here are the pictures of the cards created in Barb's 'Quickie Stickies' class. So beautiful, and made from one large sheet of Penny Black stickers...







With the addition of a bit of stamping, ribbon, creative cutting and layering, students made 6 of the loveliest Christmas cards I've ever seen...these are going to be hard to part with!

Thanks for stopping by!
