| Tina's Scrapbooking Creations |
| Well summer is gone, for me it is a really difficult time of year, I turn another year older, I go back to work and the warmer weather is gone. The good part of this time of year are all the new scrapbooking products that come out and lots of fun things happening around my studio in the fall. So if your feeling a little down I’m going to indulge in some “me” scrapbooking time this fall and I’m going to try some new projects , techniques and I’m going to indulge in a few more scrapbooking items. Some new classes this season to get the creative juices flowing; recipe tin, board books, CD Album, and a scrapbook in a tin class. The scrapbook in a tin class is comes with a kit and is $25.00 bring lots of pictures , you’ll get your album done in one night. There will be a Christmas Card making class this fall as well . Thanks to everyone who turned out for the open house it was a huge success. Congratulations to all the draw winners. It was great to see everyone having so much fun making cards and enjoying the treats. I’ll be picking the design team during early September so if you are interested you still may have time to submit some of your work and be involved in getting some free supplies by designing pages and projects Click Here for the new Design Team There will be tons of new projects coming in the next few weeks. As usual the new Gel-A-Tin stamps are amazing. I’m expecting products from Fiskars, Daisy Dee’s , We R Memory Keepers, Prima and Imaginisce . Hot items around here lately are the Bazzill edged card stock, the Ooh la la French stickers and rub– ons, Prima flowers, and chip board.
