MAY DEMO DAY

It's Saturday! Yipee! Yahoo! Lisa has another fabulous Demo Day ready for you! You won't want to miss it! It's always FREE and there is always a make-it-take-it. This month we have free samples for everyone from core'dinations. It is a line of 1/4 cut color cardstock that is double sided with a 3rd color sandwiched inside. It is perfectly sized for Cuttlebug users (it works in other specialty cutter/embossers too). It can be embossed, torn, sanded and will make amazing layers for cards and scrapbook projects alike! The class schedule will be available as usual. We will be ending this demo day promptly at 3 pm so that Lisa and her family can attend her daughter Lauren's graduation so please come early.

FLOWER SOFT


If you attended April's Demo Day you enjoyed using Flower Soft, a new product to the store. We sold out completely. It's all back in stock and we have added a few new colors. We also received some of their unmounted rubber stamps that are perfect for use with Flower Soft. Be sure to check it out when you come to Demo Day.

That's it for now....... until next post...... Happy Stampin'!

MAY CLASSES & TWINKLING H2O'S

May's class schedule is a combination of new and old. There are 2 new card classes, a new project class and the CD Folder Book and Tag Pocket Book are being repeated.

May Flowers - May 5, 7 & 8: You'll use new Penny Black stamps and a variety of watercolor techniques. Great cards for Mother's day.


Tag Pocket Book - May 12: Back by popular demand, this class was offered in both March and April.


CD Folder Photo Book - May 14: Also back by popular demand, this class was originally offered last year. It was offered in an updated form last month by request and was a hit.


DEMO DAY - May 16: Even though it falls a bit early, it is the third weekend of the month. Remember it is FREE, there is always a Make-It-Take-It. This month it will start at 10 am and end at 3 pm rather than 4. We are closing it early because Lisa's daughter's graduation ceremony is at 6pm and we don't want to miss it so if you like to come to demo in the afternoon, please arrive in time to complete your make-it-take-it by 3.


Heritage Triptych - May 19 & 22: This project will use your old family photos in a wonderful new way.


Girlfriend Cards - May 26, 28 & 29: As the name implies, these cards are perfect to send your girlfriends just to say hello. There is a pop-up card in this group that you will love and it's easy to make.


TWINKLING H2O UPDATE: Our 1st order arrived late this morning and your orders will be available for pick-up by Thursday morning. Orders will be held through Wednesday, April 22 and must be picked up by then in order to receive the preorder discount. Unclaimed orders will be available to the public on Thursday, April 23.

That's about it for now..... until next post..... Happy Stampin'!
