Design Team

I just wanted to share with everyone the last few design team projects we have on display at the store. Be sure to make a trip into the store sometime soon to see these and several other page samples done by our fabulous designers. Their work is sure to inspire you! Tiffany Moore has a great disney layout on display. A funny story about that very page. Someone came in recently, walked right in the door and looked at that page. She says, "oh my gosh, that's Phil my phone man." I said "that is Phil, the phone man, but he's Tiffany's!" I can remember a few funny instances where people on the page samples are recognized, or when my friends come in and see pictures of themselves hanging in the store. No wonder they are becoming camera shy around me. Robyn Acrey did an adorable Grandpa's brag book with photos of her first grandson. The accordion album slides into a slip case that is embellished to match to book. Honestly, I'm not sure what's cuter, the boy or the book. Darla Whitney made a beautiful chipboard file folder book for her step-daughter Krista. I love the use of the flowers and the oh so pretty Basic Grey papers and letters. She actually worked on this book while she was here at the store at one of our workshops. She's amazing, she just whips it out like there's nothing to it. Thanks for sharing your talent ladies!

A*Muse A*Palooza

We had a very successful week of fun-filled activities for A*Muse A*Palooza. Kristen did such a wonderful job putting this event on. She had a beautiful spread of food and drinks for everyone to enjoy, hosted make 'n' takes each day and taught a great round-robin style class where everyone got to make 10 terrific A Muse cards. Thank you Kristen for a job well done, you always go above and beyond. We appreciate your efforts and so do our customers! For each activity attended we gave out raffle tickets. Our in-store grand prize winner for a basket full of stamps, ink pads, note cards and epoxy stickers was Sami Dusenberry. We also gave 6 smaller prizes and those lucky winners were Toni Ramsey, Gwynn Sullivan, Heidi Hobson, Lindsey Peterson, Rooney Riggs and Lori Schoen. Congratulations Ladies!!! Stay tuned for the announcement of the A*Muse A*Palooza grand prize winner. They are giving away one of every new stamp for an entire year. Let's keep our fingers crossed that it's someone from our events.
