tickets
Schedule a workshop for March/April = 8 tickets
3. DON'T FORGET - It's Sale-a-Bration Time! With every $50 order placed you

We are offering this fun Punch Class in response to your requests -- we aim to please!!! If you can guess 10 out of the 13 punches used in the three cards, I will give you a special gift when you come to the class. One of the fun techniques used is sponging. I will introduce you to Sponge Daubers -- I prefer them over sponges as they are much cleaner to work with. Here are the samples.
The above sample has a removable bookmark. The next sample uses our Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Series Paper.
The last sample uses our Pink Flamingo Designer Series Paper. In addition, they all have a verse inside.
Class Dates: Friday, February 19 at 6pm
Class Fee: $25.00 for six cards (2 of each). Register by Friday, February 12 with payment to receive an Early Bird price of $20.00. What a deal!
Set up a Mom and Kids night. Kids ages 7 and over are always welcome.
Kits in the mail are also available. Add $5.00 for shipping. Email your complete name, phone number, address, city, state and zip code (to kubotajudy@yahoo.com). I will respond with my mailing address and expected delivery date.
JOIN ME AT THIS CLASS AND YOU TOO WILL BECOME PUNCH CRAZY!!!
Today's sample is a quick Valentine's Day card with a very simple window. This is one of the projects we made at the Southeast Library last Saturday. It was really fun and all our new friends really liked both projects.
The first picture is the completed project.
Step One: Punch the window in the card front with the Jumbo Heart Punch. Center the punch from the bottom edge and push the punch in as far as it will go. Save the heart that is punched out.
Step Two: Punch the decorative edges on the Whisper White Card Stock with the new Pinking Heart Border punch. Stamp the greeting "Love You Much" on the inside Whisper White Card stock positioning it to show in the window.
Step Three: Apply the Melon Mambo ribbon by wrapping one piece around to the back of the Whisper White decorative edged card stock. Tape the ribbon down and turn it over to the front. Next, tie the second piece of ribbon onto the first piece into a single knot and then trim your ends. We call this a "Faux Bow". If the ends do not lay where you want them to, use a mini glue dot to position them. This type of bow is less bulky than wrapping a ribbon all the way around and tieing a bow and much better for mailing.
So there you have it, a quick and easy Valentine's Day Card that is also beautiful.
Materials: Card Stock: Melon Mambo (115320) 4 1/4" x 11" scored at 5 1/2", Whisper White 9100730) 1 3/4" X 4 1/4" and 4" x 3" (inside piece).
Stamp Set: Well Scripted (117072 Wood) or (118601 Clear), Pg. 19 Occasions Mini Catalog. Misc. stamp for the small heart on the front of the card. Use any typical Valentine's Day wish, i.e., Hugs, Love, Be Mine, etc.
Punches: Pinking Hearts Border (117649, Full Heart (113693), Heart to Heart (113694)
Ribbon: Melon Mambo 3/4" Grosgrain (115611) 6 " and 5"
Other: Adhesives, Paper Snips, Mini Glue Dots

Do you need a last minute Valentine's Day gift for you kids to take to school? Here is your answer!!!
Have you seen these adorableLOVE BOTS treat boxes for kids? They are featured in the fabulous 2010 Occasions MIni Catalog (Page 19). Here is what they look like up close and personal!
Above is a view of the boxes laying flat. I found the heart shaped lip gloss at the local $1 store for the girls and had the candy on hand for the boy sample. I offer you challenge to come up with a non candy gift for the boys.
This is the front of the box with the names. They are very easy to work with. The box is pre-scored and folds together without glue or tape. Have you child write the names on first, instert the gift and fold up and seal the box. Presto!
Here is the back side. They come 30 to a package with 10 each of three designs for $9.95 per package. (#118081 - Boys or #118080 - Girls). If you don't need all of them, share with a friend. My daughter and her sister-in-law are splitting the boys and girls packages so they can give the appropriate color to their kid's friends. Place an order this week and you will have them in time. You can contact me direct or use my online button in the top right hand corner of this blog. Contact me with any questions regarding this product or any other questions you might have.

Nothing says "I Love You" more than a beautiful handmade memory album. This beautiful and timely memory album holds 21 photos. This is huge for this type of handmade album. This album is made with our georgeous "Love Sparkles Simply Scrappin' Kit". We are offering this class just in time for the Valentine's holiday, however, it is also appropriate as a bridal shower gift, a special Mother's Day gift, an anniversary gift and so on. I am also offering a design change -- you can use hearts on the front in place of the owl.
This next picture shows one sample inside page with the pull up shown. By adding this pull up to the project we were able to increase the number of photos it would display. Clever!!!
There are five pull ups which equal 10 photos (front and back). Once you attend this class you will be able to make many versions of this album for birthdays, weddings, etc. We have several Simply Scrappin' Kits that make this beautiful album fun and easy to make. Just think about the accolades you will receive from your family and friends when they see what you have made. JOIN THE FUN AND REGISTER EARLY!

Every day is fun when you run a craft business like I do,but today was way at the top of the scale of fun days. First, we taught our first class at the Southeast Library and met a lot of wonderful new friends. A huge thank you to my friends Carol and Ann for helping at the class. When we done at the library we went to the CHA craft show at the Anaheim Convention Center. WOW! All three of us were on a high today. A big thanks to Teresa and the rest of the Library staff for their part in today's class. I had intended to take a picture but was so busy it did not get done. Do you want to have fun too? Contact me!
