Had to share with you

Tim Holtz 12 Tags of Christmas Day 8

This tag was definitely a challenge as some of the product had just sold out.
(yes, more has been ordered and is on its way)

but finally Tag 8 is ready.

If you want to see our version of "Behind the Scenes" in the making of Tag # 8 watch below



I wonder what Tim Holtz will do for Tag #9.
Keeping my fingers crossed that he uses the Lamp Post.

If you want to our version of "Behind the Scenes" here is a quick video.

There is something wrong with our audio track but I wanted to post the video anyway, so just sing a Christmas Song in your head while you watch.

Enjoy

Tim Holtz Tag One is done

Most of you know about the Tim Holtz 12 Tags of Christmas event.
Every year Tim Holtz makes these amazing inspirational creative holiday tags and we recreate them for you.

We take them down from many many steps to just a few.
Today (or I should say at Midnight) Tim Holtz posted his first tag
and we spent the day recreating it and getting together all the pieces to make it.

Here is the Tag we made.

We even made all the pine cones for you today.

So when you get a few minutes you can come by the store grab a bag with all the pieces needed and recreate the tag. Each Tag costs $8

This year you do not need to bring anything with you, no tools, scissors or adhesive required.

We are supplying it all.

We will be keeping the tags out while supplies last.

Roll on Tag Two :)

Sew Easy is back in stock

Yeah, finally back in stock along with a whole bunch of new heads and different threads.

If you love the look of hand stitching on your cards or layouts, this tool makes your life easier

Here is a short video to show you this cool tool in action

Smash That

and now for something completely different.

Smash is a new concept in Art Journaling from K & Company and I think it is really cool

Sitting in the car pool lane or watching one of your kids play sports then this is perfect for you.

The notebook comes partially decorated with an attached pen that has a glue stick at one end.

There are lots of cool embellishments, stickers, pockets and more you can add.

Make notes, record your thoughts, doodle.

Add cool pieces of paper, napkins, ticket stubs, your golf or mah jong scores


Whatever you want this is the place to do it.

I am going to use it as a diary.
For instance some of you know I love McDreamy and I heart Edward from Twilight.
While these are things I would not make a layout in my scrapbook for, my Smash Journal is the perfect place to glue my movie ticket stubs and journal what a fun time I had with my friends watching the movie.

When I have ideas for creating art this is the place for me to jot my notes and add some fun things.

Here is a little movie to give you some ideas

I am so excited to get this line, hopefully it will arrive soon.

Derek says Sorry!

This is Derek again. What can I say but "Whoops! Sorry!".

Last time I posted (see here.) I meant to show a video of using the Curvy Cutter. Seems like I was looking in the wrong private collection though! That video was taken during a private moment with my soon to be ex-whiney-wife in the elevator. I must have accidentally taped over the top of it.

Derek Sets the Record Straight

Ha!  Finally! I got her password. It's Derek here. I've just managed to sneak out from the back of store for a moment.

I had to come on here to set the record straight after the way she embarrassed me today. Being the kind of guy I am I offered to help out when I saw her misusing and abusing one of those EK Success Curvy Cutters. I can't stand to see such a precision instrument shown such disrespect! Sheesh!

So I thought, "It's a good day to save knives". All I did was point out the correct way of lining up the blade and then how to replace it once it was worn. Boy was she not happy!

That's wrong, wrong, wrong! Who do you think you are telling me how to use a Curvy Cutter! Blah, Blah, Blah! I've got lots and lots and lots (eh?) of experience with these you know! What do you know about them?

Of course by then everyone in the store could see what was going on, so I beat a hasty retreat. Never been so embarrassed!!

So to set the record straight, here's a video from my collection that shows exactly how to use the Curvy Cutter and proves that not only was I right, but that I know what I'm doing....
