2nd (a) MEGA Event Project - Sticky Cut Letters

Guests at the MEGA Event got to choose from 2 different 'Sticky Letter Cards' - this was one of the options.

As soon as I saw these 'Sticky' accessories at our last SU! demo Quarterly meeting - I knew 2 things: 1) I had to have some and 2) I had to find a way to get them into the MEGA event. They were sooo much fun to work with!

The Sticky Cuts Letters (111109) come with 2 full sheets of lower case letters, numbers 0-9 and additional symbols like the '&' sign, a star, a heart ...just to name a few. Click here to get to the online catalogue and then use the fast track bar at the bottom of your screen to get to Page 186 where you can see this item for yourself.

We used the Fine Cosmo Glitter (108796) at the event but SU! offers several glitter options to help you add BLING to any project - including the new 'Chunky Sprinkles' Glitter (111343) in the Occasions Mini just released on March 1st!

The planning of this event was so much fun - Karen & Rebecca - you gals rock!

Many of you have been so patient, sticking around when there wasn't any posting going on - truth be told - I got a little overwhelmed this past week with preparations for the event on the weekend, work and family stuff going on so something had to give ...and it was my Blog up-keep that suffered!

To get back on track, I thought I would post some of the project pics from the BIG event! I'm also working on a small video slide with pictures of guests etc. at the event - should be fun to make & to see :o) Stay tuned for that!

MEGA Event Update + Baby Card Sample

With just days before the BIG event, things are really getting EXCITING! Details are being finalized, projects are being carefully cut & sorted, prizes are being made up - BUT, there are still tickets left. I have 3 tickets remaining and Rebecca has a few also. Karen is sold out!

If you would like to attend, if you've been considering attending but just aren't sure, if you've found an unexpected opening in your schedule for this Sunday .... YOU STILL HAVE TIME (but not much :o) We'd love to finalize numbers any day now so email me at lisaburns@rogers.com to register!

On to a sample... I made this card when my 'So Many Scallops' Sale-A-Bration set arrived a few weeks back! I love the scalloped images that coordinate perfectly with the Scallop Punch!

Thank You + MEGA Event + Take Out

Bright Birthday Colors!

I really like these bright color combinations - inspired by the Bali Breeze Designer Paper pack! These combinations are not ones I would have necessarily have chosen myself, but ended up working well with the help of the coordinating designer paper!! It's a nice feeling to branch out from my 'comfortable' color choices and try something new :o)

REMINDER - Used Stamp Sale TOMORROW!

I've spent the week mulling over my stamp set collection, deciding which sets I can part with and which are still just too close to my heart to part with, even though they are retired from the SU! catalogues... it was a .... tiring process!

The good news is that I have TONS of stamp sets to sell AND, I have decided to part with some retired accessory type products too like dry embossing tempates (Classy Brass Templates), punches and Simply Scrappin Kits! While the process was difficult, I will be excited to see this stuff go to good homes where 'regular' use can be provided! Ohhh the drama!!

Click here to see the oroginal 'Sale' post with full details. You can also use www.mapquest.com to help find the school OR email me and I can provide directions. To give you some idea, the school is located just East of the intersection of Highbury & Hamilton!

Family Day & More MEGA Teaser Pics

Come and get em' ladies... Come and get your MEGA event tickets! Here are a few more teasers for you... Just a reminder that the EARLYBIRD bonus is on until this Friday so don't miss out on getting the extra $5 credit!!

FAMILY DAY!

What a great yesterday was! I know McGuinty has taken a lot of heat over Family Day and I'm sure if you were one of the people that had to work the holiday, it likely didn't seem 'great' to you. I think EVERYONE should get the day off on Family Day to slow down, do nothing and enjoy the people in your life!! For our family, where both parents work FT, my DHs who gets tons and tons of overtime that pulls him away from us for most of the week - a day like yesterday was almost theraputic! It was GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Tune in tomorrow for more samples from my weekend of creativity :o) Until then...
