Hello

Just a quick hello to say that crowdSPRING, hire Kelly Purkey for your new Community Marketing Manager!

In the blog world I am learning that there are SO many awesome and creative good hearted people out there. It is so cool to be able to connect to those who share their ideas so that we can all become even more creative than we thought we could be. One of the blogs that I love keeping up with is Kelly Purkey's and so when you have time check it out!

And while I am here I wanted to share with you my new Spellbinders storage solution, I came across this on a couple of brilliant ladies blogs and so off to Hobby Lobby I went and with coupon in hand I bought this magnetic folder by Quickutz. I was going nuts taking the dies out of the plastic packaging each time I had to use them. So, now I can simply pull a binder from my shelf and pull off the die that I need. I have two folders but should I end up buying some of the new dies I might have to get a few more. But, I also did read another persons post that painted the back of a door with magnetic paint then chalkboard paint on top of that and so she simply opens the door and pulls off the dies. That is pretty cool! hmmmm

Cuttlebug oh Cuttlebug.....How Sweet thou art!

So, today I came directly home, cooked dinner and quickly retired to my studio. I pulled out the cuttlebug and nestabilities and put them to work. It was so easy and quick to make the scallops and circles. I used Bazill papers, the photos don't do the card justice as the colors are much brighter. I decided to use a black cardstock for the card so that the fuschia and green would really pop and they do. Although I love my new cricut this cuttlebug (which is made by the same company Provo Craft) will be really handy when I need to do a quick card. I only have two sets of the nestabilities so I limited to what I can do with the cuttlebug for now. What is really neat is that I can also use my dies from my quickutz squeeze! I know, you are starting to think I am either spoiled or addicted to shopping for my studio, lol. I will say it is a little of both, lol. With the purchase of the cuttlebug and zutter binder I decided that I needed to move things around. So, I moved my Cricut to the bookshelf and the cuttlebug and zutter binder followed. I will have to get after my DH to get back to his honey-do-list and build that new built in bookcase! I need more storage space!! AND, I failed to mention that I bought my cuttlebug at 50% off! I had been eyeing it for sometime but knew I wouldn't buy it without a 50% off coupon from Michael's!! Hope your weekend started out well, ciao.
