Welcome friends!  

It is back to school time and we are celebrating this special season by sharing a variety of back to school projects.  These projects are perfect for gifts to students, teachers, or school administrators.

First up is Karla Ander's super cute A+ Teacher card featuring products from the new 2019-2020 Holiday Mini Catalog.  I lover her color choices and the apple slice is good enough to eat!  Be sure to check out Karla's blog for more details.

Next is Jennifer Rawlings' custom gift bag made for first day of school gifts to our favorite teachers.  This bag is made with two sheets of 12 x 12 DSP - a quick and easy project - and filled it with large library clips and chocolates.  Visit Jennifer's blog here.

Debbie Naylor created this wonderful covered notepad and post-it pad set using the Free as a Bird set and Magnolia DSP.  What teacher wouldn't love to get this gift on the first day of school?!  Hop over to Debbie's blog here to see exactly how she created this project.

CASE study: 2018 Holiday Catalog

Inspiration abounds in the new Holiday Catalog.  Our designers were asked to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) a project from the 2018 Holiday Catalog to show you the many ways to take one idea and make it your own.  Let's get to it!

First up we have the ever-so-talented guest designer, Cindy Blekas.  She pulled her inspiration from the Santa bags featured on pages 18 and 20 to create this fun candy-cane gift bag.  Wouldn't you love to get a little gift packaged like this one?  Take a ride over to Cindy's blog here for all the details.

Debbie Naylor was so inspired by page 28 of the catalog that she created TWO cards!  These are great examples of ways to feature our beautiful Designer Series Papers.  Hop over to her blog here to learn more.

Karla Anders' card was CASE'd from the So Santa card on page 23 of the Holiday Catalog.  These Santa images are so adorable!  I love seeing Santa get out of his classic suite like the rest of us.  Be sure to visit Karla's blog here to learn more.

 Our next project was created by Jennifer Rawlings.  She was inspired by the projects featured on page 42 but changed up the theme from country comfort to Christmas.  Check out her blog here to see how this project came together.

Thank you for joining us today.  We hope you too are inspired by our projects and those featured in the 2018 Holiday Catalog.  If you do not yet have a copy of this catalog, be sure to contact your SU! Independent Demonstrator or any one of us for help.

Have a lovely weekend and we'll see you back here soon!

Winter Wonderland

Snow makes me think of new beginnings, so as we prepare to close the chapter on 2017 and open a new one for 2018, I challenged the SIS designers to create projects using winter or snow as their inspiration.  Let's dive right in and see what they've created.

First up is Karla Anders with her snowflake card which is definitely a Work of Heart!  Head over to Karla's blog here for more of her heartfelt projects. 

Then we have Rachel Yurkanin's winter wonderland card full of snowflakes. Perfect little notecard. Head over to her blog for more details.

And finally, here is my favor/gift box.  I filled an Acetate Card Box with enough supplies for two cups of hot chocolate and created a decorative belly band with products from the soon to end Holiday Catalog.  Get all the details here on my blog.
