Sweet Wonderful You

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, so its time to start making those Valentine's Day projects! For a little inspiration, here's an easel card using the new Sweet Wonderful You clear stamp set by Hero Arts. If you have a little girl or make cards for little girls, this set is a must! There are 3 girls in the set along with some cute sentiments. I just love how they all work together so effortlessly.

Here's the card when its opened... I used a pop dot on my sentiment so that the card will stay open like an easel.

Here's the side view, so you can see it propped up.

Supplies:

Sweet Wonderful You stamp set- Hero Arts

Heart and scallop heart dies- Spellbinders

Labels dies- Spellbinders

Heart corner punch- EK Success

A Duo of Big and Small Flowers

Did you get to stop by the store yesterday? Well, if you did, you probably noticed we moved a lot of things around and put out some new card samples. Here's one of the samples made by Donna featuring the new Hero Arts set called Big and Small Flowers. She used every single stamp from that set on these two cards. Instead of coloring them in, she stamped them on DP and cut them out. No coloring required!

Sending you Lots of hugs sentiment- Hero Arts

Cardstock- Bazzil

DP- Bo-Bunny

Embossing folder- Cuttlebug

We hope you stop by soon if you haven't done so already! The store will be open again on Tuesday, January 12th. The newsletter will be coming out shortly with some announcements and the usual coupons. Have a great week!

WE'RE FINALLY READY TO OPEN! ARE YOU READY???

Hi everyone! It has been a VERY long two weeks for all of us! But, we have survived the counting of our inventory, upgrading our new system, and ordering of tons of products! We've endured many “ trying moments ” countless hours of counting, planning, cleaning and working hard to bring the shop up to tip top shape. We have all put in long grueling hours here at the shop. Yes there were Tears. Tears of Frustration, Tears of accomplishment, and you know the laugh so hard you cry kind tears…. Easy to do with Kelli and Tracy around…We laughed a lot…laughed till we cried and cried till we laughed.

We are glad to begin a new chapter. We are looking forward to having fun now that the hard work is done.

Hopefully no one will ask us if we are rested as we worked our hinnies off. To quote Michele: “If we knew what we were in for, we may have thought twice, but there was no time.”

With our shop put together again, we’re excited to say that WE WILL BE OPEN TOMORROW, SATURDAY JANUARY 9, 2010 from 10 A.M. to 5 P.M. Please bear with us as we adjust to our new system. We would like to thank you for your patience while we were closed. Hope to see you soon.

Much love,

The Girls at Island Scrapbooking
