Posted on December 1, 2008 by Josee

Another short post….this week (and life-lol)…is so busy and crazy, I just can’t keep up. This is the last day to take advantage of the sale. There are still 6 of the bundles available last time I checked.

I promise, I’ll get back to sharing more samples soon…I just have to catch up on life first. Today was a snow day (though really I don’t know why?) and we have science fair for 2 kids…so, lots to do.

Day 4-Holiday Extravaganza

Posted on November 29, 2008November 28, 2008 by Josee

Is it just me or is this time of year SO BUSY?! Yesterday, I finally started cutting for my Christmas cards to send out. I have about 150 of them to make so-I really should get going don’t you think? I’m using the Big Shot to make mine…so, the cutting is at least pretty easy. Sometimes it can be intimidating to make alot of cards at once, so, here’s a list of tips on making alot of cards to send.

Josee’s Top 7 Tips for making lots of cards for the Holidays!:

Keep your design simple…cards don’t have to take alot of time to make to look nice!
You don’t have to make a different card for each of your friends and family…they won’t mind getting the same card!
If you want to get some variety…why not just change the colours instead of the whole design of your card.
Start with your cutting and then do one step at a time. I find I’ll do everything in an assembly line style…you can stamp all of your first colour and image, then move onto your next colour and image.
Use your adhesive sparingly…you don’t have to cover your whole cardstock…just do your corners and then press down your layers to get your cardstock to stick.
Decorate your envelopes to match your card! It looks so pretty and make it a perfect set!
Have fun and get your family involved! (My oldest daughter is quite capable and happy to cut & score cardstock, use the Big Shot and add glitter to the cards and she’s only 8!)

Hope this helps someone…does anyone have any other tips?! I’d love to hear them.

Day 3-Holiday Extravaganza

Posted on November 28, 2008November 27, 2008 by Josee

Wow! This sale was extremely popular yesterday!!! Two of the bundles are no longer available! If you wanted the All in the Family Bundle or the Alpha-Betcha Need This Bundle….as of yesterday-they are gone! 🙁 I guess people really love sales!

I hope those of you from the US has a terrific Thanksgiving!!! My husband was off yesterday and we did a lot of driving around & noticed that the radio stations have started their Christmas music. It was so cute to see my daughter sing along with the music. She really gets into it! We got some of our shopping done and also had to go the kid’s school for Parent-Teacher interviews. What a day! I’m just glad my kids got good remarks from their teacher’s. It’s always such a relief to hear they’re doing well!

For today’s card, I thought I’d show you a quick card we made at a recent class. It uses the Big Shot Small Envelope Template…and I think it’s an adorable size to place little notes!

Hope you’re having a terrific day…my kids are off school for a PD day…so it’ll be a busy day for me!

If you’ve been waiting to place an order…make sure you check out the SALES FLYER and the PICTURES and order soon as I’m sure more bundles will run out soon!

You can SHOP ONLINE or Email me with your order!

See you tomorrow!
