Wacky Wednesday Cards, New Penny Black and Suzy West Weekend

Hi Everyone,

So much happening this week.  We have some great Wacky Wednesday cards, a fun prize filled Friday night crop with Suzy and amazing classes all weekend.   We have the class samples in the store and I added photos below.

Thank you to all our wonderful customers who participated in the Silent Auction for the Susan G Komen fund.  We had some amazing creative donations and Alice's picnic basket went for $350!!!  We  will be having one more event to raise money and we still have some ducks available. 

Wacky Wednesday cards

All cards will be out and available to make on Wednesday and Thursday.  Just $2 each.  Cindy created this card a while ago but I have been waiting to use it until we got the Shaved Ice in stock.  The Shaved Ice is here! 






































Lisa Halstead made this special holiday card.
You will also get a second chance to make all of these cards too.
New Penny Black Holiday stamps and sample board.
We will be having a special guest next Wacky Wednesday on the 26th.  Tawny will be demoing the amazing glitters from Elizabeth Crafts.  You will get to make this glittery butterfly using one of the techniques she will show you.   

She will also show you how to use their stickers to with the glitter.  Also, my favorite technique, stamping and coloring the glitter with Copic markers.

You will not be making these cards but Tawni will show you how to create these glittery effects.

We will also have this fun Halloween tube available on Wednesday.

We have a great new Layout of the Week.  Just $6 behind the front counter.

This Sunday we will have a new layout available.
