Oh yeah, almost forgot, I can also get custom, self-inking stamps for around $22.00 apiece. This can be a sketch of your pet, or your initial surrounded by a pretty border, etc. Let me know if there is enough interest to generate an order.

Calendar in a Year Page Kits

Ladies,

I have made a total of 12 page kits for each month of the Calendar in a Year class. I haven't heard from several of you as to whether or not you are interested in continuing the class. Please let me know by the end of September if you are still interested. I will be selling off the surplus kits first come first served starting in October. I am posting the July page kits on here, and have several kits left, and the capability to make approximately 10 more kits if necessary. If you would like one of these kits, they are $20. Pretty much everything is pre-cut for you, and if you assemble them at your convenience at the store, you may borrow the stamps, Viva Pearl pens, etc. that I have used to create them. Please call the store at: 217/347-3600 if you have any questions.

Thanx,
Bev

Halloween/Fall Photo Shoot

Ladies,

Here is a flyer about the upcoming Fall/Halloween Photo Shoot. Donna from Natural Reflections does AWESOME work! We have set this up to coincide with Trick-or-Treating so that the lil' ones don't have to dress up twice. If you don't do Halloween, go ahead and come on in. The set will be a fall set that can be used for either regular Fall or Trick-or-Treat pictures. You must pre-pay $15 at the store by no later than Saturday Oct. 23. This will hold your spot. Appointments will be every 15 - 20 mnin. Pre-payments are non-refundable. We will also be giving out Halloween candy. Woo HOO! Please call the store at: 217/347-3600 or drop by if you have any questions. Please also note: There is an additional $5 sitting fee that you can't really see on the flier on here, so the total cost will be $35. Also, if we get a good turn out...Donna will be coming back to do a Christmas shoot for us! Oh YEAH!

It's going to be a CUTTLEBUG CHRISTMAS around here this year. This is a pic of the cards that we will be doing in our class on the 30th. We will be making the 4 cards cards using embossing folders, Nestabilities, punches & Tim Holtz distress inks. Stop by the shop or give us a call at 347-3600 to register if you would like to join in on the fun.

COWBOY UP!!

Saddle up them horses, pardner! The August pages have been rustled up & are ready to be branded. These pages are fun & loaded with great lil details.

If you haven't had a chance to stop by the shop yet & check out the new collection of Graphics 45 HALLOWE'EN IN WONDERLAND paper, you really ought to. I had a little free time today & dug into my stash. This is such a fun collection to play with. The possibilities are endless. This is what I have put together so far & I still have a few ideas up my sleeve.
I'm thinking that the shadow box would make a great class project. This one is perfect for Halloween & it can easily be switched out for Thanksgiving & then again for Christmas.
So, I have a free night on Wednesday, Sept. 29th. If you are interested in putting one of the shadow boxes together, just stop by the shop or give us a call to reserve your spot. The fee will be $30 & all you will need to bring is your basic class kit. The shadow box & all of the goodies that go in it will be provided. I hope that you can join us!!

Halloween Eats & Treats Class

Kate just brought in the samples for her "Halloween Eats 'N Treats" Class. She has 2 completed, and 2 up her sleeve! The ones I saw were a "Mummy" cover for candy bars, and a cute cover for microwave popcorn. These would be a great family project to dress up those goodies for the little ghouls and goblins in your life!
