In my last post I mentioned that I held an Idea Book Launch Party recently.  Here is one of the cards that all of the attendees made.  (Thanks to Cheryl Alexander for creating and letting me use this card.) The flower is from the new Flower Market Cricut cartridge .  Look closely at this next picture, do you notice the shimmer on the flower? The shimmer is from the new Shimmer Brush – Clear .  Right now, my favorite new product.

I recently held an Idea Book Launch Party in my studio to celebrate and share the new products of the Annual Inspirations Idea Book.  Thanks to everyone that came out and a special thank you to my dear friend, Holly V, for all of your help. All attendees made 2 cards (that I will share in a separate post) using some of my favorite new products and some of the new colors and papers. I also offered specials on my cash & carry, as well as tickets to win a few prizes.  The grand prize, a new fundamentals paper pack of her choice, went to Kathy Ingram.  YEAH!!!! Thanks again to everyone who came out and placed an order toward the Mystery Hostess Party.  (Mystery hostess will be drawn on Saturday.) Thanks for stopping by. Jaime

Kid's Klub - Crush Books Last year I started a monthly Kid’s Klub using the line of My Crush Books and coordinating products.  Myself and a few young ladies had such a fun time getting together once a month to preserve their memories of school, sports, christmas, birthday parties, and school events.   So I am thrilled to offer this class again beginning Sunday, August 28 from 2-4pm Students will learn to preserve their memories in the new 3-ring My Crush books.  Each month they will bring 10-20 photos and memorabilia with them.  They will learn to use their paper trimmer and some fun stamping techniques.  (Attendance is not required every month.) Cost is $25 (1st class only)    (the first class includes a My Crush Book, 6 page protectors - 2 each of 3 designs, and papers to create their cover page and final page.  Classes will occur on the 1st Sunday of each month for $15.  Attendance is not required every month, come when you can.)
