Brewing Up Some Fun

 Saturday's ATC trade day was absolutely fantastic! We loved how you all got into the spirit of Halloween and created some amazing ATC cards to share...Michele led us through an frightfully fun afternoon of inspiration and technique featuring a cute line of paper from Lily Bee...'Autumn Spice' adding a dash of die cuts, stamps and embellishments...

 

 

 

We trade for no shows too...so no excuses if you can't make the trade that day... Just drop off your cards, and we'll do the rest!

Traders get out their books and the trading begins...  

 

  

We also celebrated the birthdays of Michele and Gloria that day...Happy Birthday to you!

   

    

And this handsome young man is Joan's grandson Gabe who stopped by to say hello while on the way to Claremont High School's Homecoming Dance...

  

Make Someone Happy!

Die Cutting Demos!

The die cutting machines were well used this weekend in the featured demos by Cynthia and Sheila...let's see what they were up too...

On Saturday Cynthia cut and stamped away the afternoon featuring some of the latest stamps and dies from

'My Favorite Things'....

The border dies are really great...they can add that extra little something to a card...new Halloween pumpkin stamps set and matching pumpkin dies are very, very cute...Cynthia throws in a dash of the new 'Witch Hazel' paper ...

 

There are lots more of Cynthia's cute samples in the store including a very clever container made from a tag...you've got to come in the store and take a look at that...

On Sunday, Sheila showcased the newest from Hero Arts...the 'Frame and Cuts' and 'Stamp and Cuts'...

These dies are super easy to use...simply stamp your image, place the matching die on top of image, use removable tape to hold die securely and cut away...

 Fun new stamps too....

Bold and graphic papers from 'Creative Imaginations' pair up nicely with these stamps and dies...

 

 Make Someone Happy!
