Teresa Collins Designs Family Matters Collection

We have all of the Teresa Collins Designs Family Matters Collection in stock and ready to ship - you can buy them on our website under Family Matters .  Here are three projects using these papers.  This line is so gorgeous - the colors are rich and vibrant and make fabulous layouts and mini albums.  The clipboard is our make & take at the shows - it's also featured under Bind-It-All ideas.  It has two little doors that are bound with the Bind-It-All machine and then paper for writing notes.  The layout is done by Jamie Harper who is the Marketing Director for Teresa's products.  I LOVE the way her layout turned out - it's beautiful!  The four tiered wall hanging is a display in our booth was designed by one of the SNS Entourage, Amber Winward.  She used Zutter clipboard 8" x 8" boards and bound them together with the Bind-It-All o-wires to create this unique wall hanging that she's going to use in her house when she gets it back from our booth!!  Check the blog for more ideas using Teresa's products throughout the next month.  We will post different ones.  Roxann's done some gorgeous ones, too, but I have to take pictures of them in Lousville!
 

Thanks Portland Girls - Bind-It-All Recipe Book

I wanted to take a minute to thank all the great girls that we met in Portland this past weekend!  We had so much fun and it was a super show.  Roxann, Amber & I enjoyed meeting you all and teaching you new tricks with the Bind-It-All machines and Dreamkuts machines.  We won't be up that way again until Seattle, so we hope to see you then.  Our door prize winner for $50 worth of product is Cheryl Glenn from Central Point, Oregon!!  Congratulations, Cheryl - we've got a super box put together for you of lots of fun products.  Enjoy it!

The photo that I'm posting is the other project from our Bind-It-All class.  It's a recipe album using the Cover-Alls, Teresa Collins Bon Appetit papers, Teresa Collins Haute Cuisine papers and lots of great embellishments.  It's all put together with the Bind-It-All machine and Dreamkuts machine.  If you're taking the class, be sure to bring brown inks!
 

Make & Take Madness - Teresa Collins & Bind-It-All

I am in LOVE with our make & take project for the upcoming Portland show this weekend.  Anyone in the area stop by and put one together (small fee applies).  It's an altered 6" x 9" clipboard with the new Teresa Collins Designs Family Matters papers.  The little folding doors are attached with the Zutter Bind-It-All machine and there are papes inside to write notes.  It's so - so - so cute!!
