Hi everyone -- thank you all so much for the well wishes, advice and your understanding. I need every single one of them! I've already had to change my PJ's four times today due to the sweats then bundling up because the next minute, I'm freezing! I can barely swallow & have been alternating between ice cold ginger ale & warm tea. Not much improvement in my throat yet so I'm going to make the decision to stay closed for one more day to make sure I'm not spreading any sick germs to my favourite peeps! I also need to conserve my energy so that I can manage to make it to my daughters graduation ceremony at TRU tomorrow for her Care Aide program. I'd really hate to miss out on that because I'm too tired to get there on my limited energy. Thanks again for your patience - you have no idea what it means to me! xo :)
Good thing I went to the Dr -- I have an ear infection & Strep throat & he's worried that my left tonsil has an abscess so he prescribed me some heavy duty antibiotics & rest for tomorrow at least! Hopefully in 24 hrs the medicine will have kicked in...I have to go back on Monday for him to check me again. For those of you who were scheduled for tomorrow's class, I called & either spoke to you or left messages. We will reschedule ASAP - my apologies again. So due to Dr's orders, I will be closed tomorrow & hopefully reopening on Friday morning. Thanks for the well wishes - you guys are the best customers! It's time for a very hot bath to combat these chills! xo

Hey there peeps - I toughed it out most of the day, but I'm going to close the store early today & head on over to the walk in clinic. Not doing anyone, least of all myself, any favours by staying here while I'm pretty sure I've got strep throat thanks to the lovely white patches on my tonsils... First time for everything - never had to close the store because I wasn't feeling well enough to be here! My apologies if you were planning on popping over this afternoon...
Happy Wednesday to you! A little drizzle outside makes for perfect shopping days! And we've got tons of new stuff to share with you... I don't have much of a voice today because I think my immune system is shot after that cross Canada & back trip, so bear with me! I am here today from 10am until 4pm and I look forward to seeing you soon! :)

New Prima Product has arrived! Check it out right here! All the 12x12 papers were backordered to the wholesaler from the manufacturer. They are working to get the missing items to us ASAP! :)
Good Tuesday morning to you all! I must say, I like the freshness of the spring rain - and boy can we use it! Sure hope we get rain at night for a few more days! ;) Lots of rearranging going to be happening at the store over the next week as I shuffle things around to make room for the new stuff that's arrived and what's arriving! Shipping notifications are expected this week for the new Bo Bunny lines, Prima, and new Tim Holtz. I'll keep you updated as it arrives & is in the computer. I am here today from 10am until 4pm & look forward to seeing you! Cheers! :D

Easter is right around the corner already!! Spring sprung in Kamloops about a month ago, but the rest of the world is starting to catch up! However, I just left the still snowy & wintery Maritimes, and was so glad to see grass & warm temps again!
For my project this go round, I used quite a few of Karen's new releases for Easter. The title for my scrapbook page, "Happy Easter" is found here CEL-525. I had the best time "decorating" my Easter eggs CEL-540 for the bottom of the page.
For the title, I used the same technique that I used last month for the frame on the Valentine card. I sprayed the Happy Easter title with a spray adhesive, then dumped purple glitter all over it. Tapped off the excess then used a matt finishing spray to seal the glitter in.
For the eggs, I used the white distress paint to cover the chipboard. Then I used different colours of papers to add colour in the cut out sections. So much fun, and so little mess in comparison to real egg decorating.
Once I had my colours on the backside of the chipboard pieces, I started to decorate my eggs, with bling, sequins, flower jewels. The sky is the limit with decorating these!!
Once the eggs were decorated, I started to decorate the bottom of my layout. I began by layering flowers & purple tulle behind the eggs. I fussy cut out the bunnies from the background paper and tucked the chipboard eggs behind the fussy cut parts and then built up from there. Once I had everything where I wanted it and adhered down, I pulled out the purple spritz & gave it a couple of sprays to make it look antiqued.
I hope you enjoyed looking at my project. It took a couple of days to put it all together, but I think it was worth it! Happy Easter to you all! :)

Dream Catcher Card
Oh
my! Karen's new releases this month had me chomping at the bit to do my
Design Team challenges!! As soon as I saw the wooden feathers WOOD-565 I knew exactly what I wanted to do! A Dream Catcher card!
Other
than adding a little bit of brown ink to the edges, I didn't have to do
a THING to the feathers - easy & gorgeous in one simple step! I
added some black beads & cording to make it look like the feathers
were hanging from the dream catcher cut out.
I popped up the actual dream catcher cut out, applied a black gem to the centre, stamped my sentiment & added some bling with a butterfly, and voila! C'est fini!! :)
I couldn't be more excited about how this turned out! Thanks for looking! Cheers! :)
