NEW Colors Wallet

     If you RSVPed, attended my open house last Saturday, and placed an order with me, this was the special gift you received:

This is the outside of the wallet.

 

This is the inside pulled out to see all the sides.

This is the back inside cover - a wish list.

     I got the idea from Renee and Tania HERE, and from Card a la Carte HERE.   These ladies are amazing!  What they come up with is wonderful.

     Now, I need to tell you that I did NOT purchase the tutorial they are selling.  My dear and wonderful husband figured out how to create the wallet.  I don't know if it's exactly the same way as these wonderful ladies created it, but I like how mine turned out.  If you goto Renee and Tania's website, you can download the sheets that are in the inside.

       I also used the Flower Trio punch and punched a card stock sample of each color and attached it to the top of each page.  Each page is a color family, plus a page for in-colors and a retired page.  Now you will notice the top flower is missing.  I don't have all the colors yet :O(  But I will get them, eventually.

     This is a GREAT tool for keeping track of all the color items you have: markers, ink pads, ink refills, and paper.  Everyone who received one, LOVED them.

     I will admit, they did take time to make, but they are well worth the time and effort.

Happy Wednesday!

And the winners are...

     Thanks to everyone who came to my open house on Saturday!  With all your orders, I was able to reach my $300 goal!  You guys are the best!

   Now on to the door prize winners:

     Becca - you won the stamp set:

     Lisa - you won the flower paperclip and matching RSVP pen:

     Congratulations ladies!

Happy Monday!

Open House make-n-takes

     First off, I want to thank those of you who came to my open house.  It was wonderful to see you and spend a little time catching up.  I also want to thank those of you that couldn't come, but who placed an order with me.

     I have not yet done the drawings for my door prizes.  I promise I will announce the winners tomorrow evening.

     A FOND FAREWELL:

     This project was the one we made using items that will be retiring at the end of the month.  The pillow box die and white grosgrain ribbon will be staying with use (YEA!)

RECIPE:

CARD STOCK:  Bermuda Bay, Apricot Appeal, & Whisper White (staying!)

STAMPS:  Because I Care (sneak peak) & Sprinkles

TOOLS:  Scallop Oval Punch,  Large Oval Punch, Big Shot, Pillow Box Die, & Whisper White Grosgrain Ribbon  *NOTE* All these items are staying.


We filled these cute pillow boxes with M & M's - Yummy!

     A SNEAK PEEK:

     My new core color paper did not come in the package that was delivered Friday evening (talk about cutting it close!).  So, I had to quick change my sneak peek card.

RECIPE:

CARD STOCK:  Whisper White

STAMPS:  Because I Care (a level 1 hostess set in the new catalog)

INKS:  Marina Mist Marker, Pear Pizzaz Marker, Concord Crush Marker, & Cajun Craze

TECHNIQUE USED:  Thumbing

     Everyone who saw the new colors said they loved them.  I love them!  Wait until you see them in person!  If you would like to see the new colors and/or the new catalog, please let me know.  I'd love to share.

     We had a lot of fun making the boxes and cards.  If you weren't able to come to my Open House this time, I hope you are able to come next time.

Happy Sunday!
