Fancy Pants Home Sweet Home Kit Class by Tara


Check out this new kit using the Fancy Pants Lilac House line! These 2 double pagers are really fun. The class is scheduled for Thursday, December 2nd from 7 - 9 pm. We had a lot of fun with the last FP kit class, so be sure to sign up early as we only have 5 spots available and no more kits nor paper to make more!

For some reason, the colours in this photo are brighter than they are IRL. The LO`s are hanging in the store if anyone wants to have a better look!

The cost of this class will be $25.00 + HST.

November Design Team Layout by Jillian Anger!!


Jillian received the gorgeous Websters Pages Wonderfall collection to play with this month... check out what she had to say and her beautiful creations!

"Both of these are done on only ONE background paper. I just had to use both sides of this one, it was too beautiful not to show off both sides. You definitely need the trims, and the journaling cards - they are also double sided and stunning!"

November Design Team Layout by Jennifer Cassista!!


Jenn was given the beautiful Bo Bunny Crazy Love papers and she also rocked her "i-rock" for all the studs and bling..... here's what she had to say about her creation!

"Here's the layout I made with the Bo Bunny Crazy Love line... I loved the pink mesh that I pleated and attached to the paper. I also used an "i-rock" on the layout as well, I even added the "i" studs to the centre of the Bo Bunny flower. The matt on the photo is the die cut paper that is part of the line, I cut it and fit the pieces together. You would never know that it started out as a 12x12 paper... not a mat for a 5x7 picture!"

All products can be found here online at our store.... Bo Bunny Crazy Love and the "i-rock" tool with accessories
