The "BOX" before...

This is the "BOX" before the challenge. This is a VERY SPECIAL box. It is the first project that we have selected for our first workshop. Envision it filled with lots of different tags for you to use for different occasions and purposes. There are actually three (3) boxes...three (3) designers...resulting in (3) totally different looks! Stay tuned for future developments...

M is for...Mother's Day...

We have been telling you how much we LOVE the paper cutting dies from Marianne Designs in Holland. Here's some inspiration for those Mother's Day cards that you are planning to make.

These M-arvelous ideas can be applied to any of your papercraft projects. I'm planning on embellishing a large paper mache "H" for my granddaughter, Haylee. Take note of the stock numbers of the items used. We are now taking pre-orders for Marianne Designs products.

Aside from the obviously beautiful roses, I LOVE the light and airy leaves that are used to frame the bouquets and draw your eye to other embellishments. We'd like to know what you think...leave your comments and feel free to ask questions.

Ready for take off...

Ellen and I are REALLY EXCITED about getting our business off the ground and running! We both have lots of ideas filling our heads. So many things we can do...so little time. Friday night we did some "experimenting" with the NEW LaBlanche stamps and spray mists. We hope to be putting our first kit together soon. Since we both enjoy teaching, our goal is to educate our friends and customers on how to use the products and techniques that we love so much. So, stay tuned in...for future tutorials and videos. Of course, we're still learning the "how-to's" and "what-for's" of blogging...bear with us and excuse us as we stumble through it...
