Flight of the Butterly Video-my first one!!!

Posted on January 15, 2009February 27, 2009 by Josee

I’m thrilled to show you my first ever video…it’s a bit rough-but, I will get better for the next one! (I know I got the idea from somewhere and honestly had it saved but of course now can’t find it. Sorry ladies, this is going to be a New Year’s Resolution to find a way to better keep track….anyone have a tip on how they do this?)

This card was one of the ones we made at my "Thank You Card Class" last week and it was really fun to make. I’ll show you a close up of the photo at the end of this post. Hope you like it!

What did you think? Leave me a comment here with ideas for other video’s you’d like to see in the future!

Here’s a close-up of the card:

My 2009 Spring-Summer Catalogues are here!

Posted on January 14, 2009 by Josee

I got my shipment of boxes yesterday…want to hear something funny? My mail carrier was the first person to get one!!! 🙂 She was asking my husband about what was in the boxes and she seemed interested so my husband gave her one! Stampers are everywhere!!!

There are so many new products in the catalogue…you are going to absolutely LOVE IT!!!! It won’t officially be launched online until Jan. 19th, but-I can say it is AWESOME!!! The new papers, the new stamps, the new circle cutter, the new accessories for the Big Shot…oh my…I’m in trouble!

If you don’t have a local demonstrator and would like me to mail you one-you can buy one below! The cost is normally $10 for the catalogue and around $10-12 dollars for the postage…but you can have it for $15 total. PLUS you’ll get a $5 coupon towards your first order! So, really you pay just for the postage! How great is that!?
