Hi all!! It’s been a busy few weeks with my work schedule, the transition to the new catalog, and my New Catalog Extravaganza!! I thought I’d share a few pictures from the “extravaganza”, a.k.a. Open House, that I hosted on Sunday! Thanks to all that could come!!
 |
| One of my display boards showcasing some new stamps and the butterflies in their many forms! |
 |
| More stamp sets, plus the 2 new Thinlit dies with their options (Baker’s Box and Cutie Pie Thinlits) |
 |
| A closer look at the new Ronald McDonald House Charities Sprinkles of Life stamp set with the coordinating Tree Builder punch! |
 |
| I saw this banner on Pinterest and recreated it with the new In Colors (I used retired letter Thinlits – sorry!) The flowers on each side are from the Build a Bouquet kit — I ran out of time to finish more flowers — it took a bit of time!! |
 |
| These are some of the retired stamp sets still available — the selection was MUCH larger to start!!! |
 |
| This was the give-away for coming: the Sketched Dots Tag a Bag Gift Bags hold watermelon Saltwater Taffy from Tuck’s Candy House in Rockport, MA. I decorated the bags with the Layered Letters Alphabet stamp set in Watermelon Wonder ink, plus Cherry on Top Designer Washi Tape. The package on the right is a 1/4 sheet of the new In Color cardstock in each color, with a 4″ x 4″ square from the In Color 2015-17 Designer Series Paper Stack. The embellishments are the new Metal Rimmed Pearls. |
 |
| My favorite display!! I filled a wooden box I acquired last year at our Annual Church Fair (the box held 16 dessert glasses/bowls which you can see a few of in the photo). I used the Curvy Keepsake Box thinlit to make a sample for each In Color, and tied it up with the new In Color 1″ Dotted Lace Trim (love it!!). You can see rolls of ribbon, the markers, and inspiration for each of the colors (the cucumber, the Gray Poupon Dijon mustard, and the mint herbs!).
Hopefully tomorrow I can share the Make-n-Take we did! Thanks for stopping by!!! (I’ve included some of my favorite products from the displays and things that I’ve made — check out the table below!)

What a lot of prep work you did for your extravaganza, but it's all so awesome! Thanks for sharing.
