Christmas In July!!

Hope everyone had a great 4th!  My husband and I actually spent the day working at the warehouse, while my parents went running around town with our kids.  It was great to spend so many uninterrupted hours there getting it more organized.  Now, if we can find another 4-5 days to do that again, we'll have it finished!!

We're going to give everyone gifts for our Christmas in July promotion.  Watch our blog every couple of days for new on line classes and tips & techniques.  These are FREE - all you have to do is click on the link and print them out.  We hope this inspires everyone to learn something new over the summer to use on your pages, cards, paper crafting projects and more!  I'm working on the first one today and will post it tomorrow.

In the meantime, we want to send our congratulations to Aimee Slater from Colorado who won our DreamKuts machine giveaway.  We'll have another contest coming up in August, so watch for it!  It will coincide with new products that will be released at CHA Summer - as soon as we have our hands on them, we'll start another contest!!

Here's a super project created by Amber Winward of our Entourage.  She used one of the Scraptique clipboards and altered it with Teresa Collins Designs Crush Papers.  In this technique, she used the Bind It All V 2.0 to punch holes and bind it with o-wires for a heart shaped foldout.  Great job, Amber!



Have a great Sunday - off this afternoon to watch my 14 year old play in his baseball All-Star game.

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!!

Bind-It-All 3" x 4" Acrylic Album

This adorable acrylic album featuring the Zutter Acrylic made to work with the Zutter Bind-It-All machine is one of the projects we are going to be doing in our Bind-It-All class at the National Conventions.  It features papers by Teresa Collins Designs - her gorgeous Jounal-It Girl papers.  The class focuses on learning the proper ways to use the Bind-It-All machine, the Dreamkuts machine and all the accessories that go along with them.

Bind-It-All 9" x 9" Acrylic Raffle Box

I just love the way this display for our booth turned out.  It's a 9" x 9" acrylic box made with five pieces of Zutter acrylic (there are two in a package, so if you wanted to make one, you need three packages).  You punch holes with the Bind-It-All in the sides and bottoms and then tie it together with ribbons.  I accented it with Teresa Collins Bella Girl papers and we will have it in our booth for our raffle.  The only problem is that I copied our raffle forms on yellow paper and my children, of course, pointed out that I need to re-do them in pink now to keep in the theme of the box.  It's also embellished with Prima flowers and Prima Say It In Crystal Swirls!  So.....I'll have to recopy them!  Love their acrylics!  They come in all sizes and a tabbed folder, too.
