We are holding over the Backroom Bowout Sale & upping the discount to 70% Off the original prices.

Backroom Blowout Sale Continues!

We still have tons of stuff left from our sale and we don't want to put it back on the shelves.  

 Monday and Tuesday only,

all clearance items 70% off the original prices. 

 We are getting so excited for Dave's visit next week.  I grabbed these photos and his discriptions from his Memory Box blog.  There are still about 3 seats left for his classes.


"Here is a student carefully adding another layer of paint over a yellow wash, as we slowly fill in the G1795 Autumn Collage.

The watercolor session requires a lot of patience - we'll complete one layer on a piece, then allow it to dry, and then add another layer later. It came as no surprise that the projects dried much quicker in Sacramento than in Seattle! Everyone laughed when I told them it might take a few hours in Seattle, but in sunny California, it only takes a few minutes!


The students learned all the tricks and techniques of working on different watercolor paper types with watercolor paints as well as watercolor pencils! Cooper helped teach the Colored Pencil class - he sharpened pencils and helped everyone use the die cut machines, while Emma helped teach the last sessions. It was funny to hear them repeat some things they have heard me say before to the students - "That was stamped in Brilliance Graphite Black" or "The pencil sharpener works best this way...". Maybe some day they'll take over for me!"

It was nice to get to see all the great people working the show like KC from My Mind's Eye. 


Sandy Boyd our wonderful sales rep and Chris from Creative Imaginations.  He once ripped off Flat Lisa's head.


Most of you will recognize Mitra from Impression Obsession and may know Cindy Smith one of our prior sales reps that we miss.  I haven't placed this order yet so if you have any requests let me know.  I'll be getting a bunch of the Christmas stamps.  And did I mention that we may be getting Mitra to teach a class in October? 


Look at these adorable pumpkins on one of her cards.


I love this set of Christmas Cards with Impression Obsession stamps.


Suzy West was just enjoying the show this trip.  The good news is that we will be one of only 4 stores that she will be teaching at in September.  One of her classes is going to be using Simple Stories Christmas line.


I was sucked in by this adorable garden gnome from Jillibean Soup.


I just wished I could have gotten one of these cute gnome t-shirts.  If Lisa would have been with me, she would have mugged the girl in the bathroom for the t-shirt.


These great little accordion albums will be a fun make and take.


This winter line is just one of the five lines I ordered from Little Yellow Bicycle.


Bella Blvd had great lines and I loved all their booth samples like this sports layout.
