Kanzashi

2011-08-11T14:40:00.000-07:00

At CHA I walked by a counter that was covered in lovely flowers. Well, who doesn't stop to look at pretty flowers? Upon taking a closer look at the flowers, and the lady behind the counter who was in the middle of making another one, I realized that they were sewn.

Sometimes when you think you are keeping your thoughts in your head, they actually pop out of your mouth (or am I the only one who experiences that?). So, aloud I said (probably with a scrunched up nose) "Oh, that's sewing". The lady behind the counter replied, "No it isn't, it is connect the dots." So I paused a little longer and watched her make a petal with a Kanzashi template. Sure enough, it was connect the dots using a needle and thread. It looked so easy. When I got home I ordered the templates to try it for myself. My creations are pictured below. They are a bit chunky for a layout, but so cute for a card.

At CHA there were a number of people pushing the idea of adding to cards something that the receiver could remove from the card and use, such as a pin, or a hair accessory. The Kanzashi flowers would be perfect for that. So fun!

Giant Copic

2011-08-11T14:35:00.001-07:00

This week a new copic rack arrived, along with lots of copics to stock it with. It is HUGE and I love it. It overpowers the store a bit, but boy oh boy will it look great at Scrapfest in the fall don't you think.

My Tube Creations

2011-08-04T09:08:00.000-07:00

I took some tubes home last night and had some fun creating. Take a peek. (inspired of course by the SRM blog) The butterfly tube has scotch mints inside and the back to school tube has crayons inside.

Do you need a favour?

2011-08-03T07:27:00.000-07:00

I took a fun class at CHA with SRM stickers. Stickers! Really? Yes, it even surprised me. We made favours using assorted sizes of tubes that SRM sells. Their blog is really worth taking a look at, and if you think you need some of the tubes, or calendar stickers that you see on the project, we've got them. Click here to view their blog (make sure you look through older posts on their site. There are some great ideas. Below are a couple of samples from their blog.

Your Next Stamp

2011-06-14T09:13:00.000-07:00

On the weekend I drove to Kitchener and picked up some more stamps and card samples from Karen at Your Next Stamp. They are so adorable and Karen has been so gracious to allow me to display her samples in the store. Here are a couple of close ups on the new ones.

Featured Product: Pennant Dies

2011-06-13T08:17:00.001-07:00

I must admit that when the pennant craze first hit, my first reaction to them was that they were very "American". Why I would think that, I'm not certain, except perhaps because there were so many Fourth of July themed pages and cards that they were used on.

My next thought was that they would be good for Birthday pages, and I just couldn't get myself out of that mind set.

Then I was sent a photo of a project that really made me think differently. Take a look at the projects I used my pennant dies to create. The first one is a scraplift of the project that was sent to me. The other two came from playing around.

If you are interested in picking up the Pennant dies, you can get both the straight set and the lacey set together at a great price on our website. Just click here.

This pocket was made with the Spellbinders nested lacey pennants and nested pennants. I only taped the edges, and folded the top part of the straight edge pennant down to make a pocket opening. The pinwheels are stuck on rolled up cardstock (as I didn't have any sticks) and then tucked inside the pocket. Very easy and fun to copy. Stamp a sentiment on one of that banners that comes with the pennant dies and attach it to a pinwheel. Mine won't fit in an envelopes very well, but I think I'm keeping this one for myself for a while anyway. :>)

My New Years resolution this year was to deplete the old stickers off the sticker wall. They just aren't as popular as they used to be. So, I've been making lots of cards and layouts with stickers. The bird on the card below is a PSX sticker....old but great. PSX stickers lent themselves so well to card making and they have been fun to use up....plus I can't tell you how many people ask me if I colour my cards .....nope, it's a sticker!

On this card I used the spellbinders pennants again, as well as one of my Nellies die sets. I just had to add some stitching to the inside pennant and some glitter to the sticker. I made 20 of these cards, and they are for sale at the store.

This layout was so fun. I just kept adding more and more pennants. The critters are made with the Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge. This layout will be going up as a class, so keep an eye on the schedule.

October was a BUSY month! We had the mobile store out to crops in Simcoe and Woodstock on the first weekend, the second weekend was Thanksgiving (gobble gobble yumm), the third was Scrapfest in Kitchener, the fourth was the Creative Festival in Toronto and Scrap Cancer in Burlington, and the last weekend was our bi-annual garage sale! Not only am I bushed, but I'm also behind! So many new things arrived in the past month. The most recent were:

In November and December we are headed to the Ranch. We are thrilled to be joining The Kit Company at their upcoming scrapbooking weekend retreats in Brantford!
Yes, I said retreatS - there's two of them, November 26-28 AND Dec 3-5. And if they're anything like the last retreats of theirs that we've been to - they're going to be FANTASTIC!
Lots of cropping space, the meals are great and the hosts, Janette and Jackie make everyone feel really welcome.
When I last spoke to Janette she said they had a few spots left - but they were going fast.

Prima Flowers

2010-10-01T07:38:00.000-07:00

It may be fall, but here at The Memory Keeper I'm certain that it is spring because there are flowers everywhere! I'll blame it all on (or thank) Lisa who draged me around the prima booth for well over an hour at CHA making me buy buy buy. But boy do they ever look pretty on the wall, and I can only image how good they will look on your pages. We have a wide variety of fowers and pearls, including a whole wall of the E line (only $1.99 each) If you are into flowers, you will want to check it out.

Lots of NEW stuff!

2010-09-01T12:39:00.001-07:00

I've been trying since Monday to get an email out to tell you about all of the new stuff that has come in, but just when I think I have a free moment, more boxes arrive. I'm still in the thick of it, but I'm taking a very quick break to post. The email will have to wait for a bit. Here is a quick review of new items that have arrived. I'll probably forget to mention some, and I'm sure there will be more boxes tomorrow, so the best thing to do is come and visit me. (I might even give you a box to help me unload! lol_

SEI 3 new lines including a Christmas one. Oh so wonderful.

My Minds Eye 2 lines. You will die for the Lost and Found collection. Seriously.

NEW QUICKUTZ Yes I am indeed shouting that one. Can you believe it. It is September 1st and my Spring gift sets are here, as well as a lot of backorders. Ok, I won't harp on it any longer, Quickutz has been having a rough go of it lately.

Penny Black In all fareness I must tell you that these stamps are still in the box and I have not even peeked at them yet. I bet you didn't think I had the willpower. No willpower, but no time either. But if you come in and ask, I'll get that box open. Actually, Kim will probably have it all out tomorrow.

Hero Arts Christmas stamps - already out on the shelf and selling.

Worldwin Cardstock - Ok so maybe that doesn't sound so thrilling to you, but all of those empty racks are now pretty full. We now have three different brands of cardstock. There isn't anything you will be without....textured, smooth, coloured core, embossed, glittered. Delighful!

PLUS, have I mentioned these yet.....New 3 bugs, Karen Foster, Imaginese Sassafrass Lass
