distINKtive designs team members forum and information page for September 2008.24/9/2008 Here's a bit of information about some cellophane bags I've discovered. I find them perfect for displaying cards etc and they are so useful because they are RESEALABLE. I'm currently preparing some cards for a craft stall, plus I'm putting together some embellishment packs. These cello bags make these items look really professional. Check through all the sizes to see what you'll find useful. There are 2 pages. I've already purchased some of these over the internet, and they were delivered in a couple of days. Yes they are as good as SU for delivery time! If you'd like to put in a group order, I'm happy to co-ordinate that - I need some more so will be putting an order in on October 1st. You are most welcome to order your own too, if that suits better - 10% discount for orders over $100.00. so it is not a huge saving. If you want to join my order, send me an email with the items etc that you need. 'Til our next chat..... 21/9/2008 Hi to Karin and Kylie, Melissa, Chantal and Belinda, Sue, Shelley, Frances and Jenni. Yep I've been a bit slack this month -our visit to see Kari, Mark and the very cute little Mr T. took precedence over stamping. Here we are near the end of the month and I'm only just getting to do a post. What have I been doing? Well there are a couple more scrap pages complete, but the main accomplishment has been my 2 Christmas Card Workshops this week. I had so much fun and really enjoy everything to do with hosting workshops. If your diary is looking a bit bare (and you want some more workshops) think about holding some techniques classes or Christmas card workshops. Last year I had 7-8 attendees, this year I got brave and offered 2 consecutive nights - without too much effort I have 16 attendees over 2 nights. I'm wondering if this means next year there will be 32? The point I'm making is that, over time you too will develop a client basis who will bring others along to your functions. Just give them good value, worthwhile projects and a bowl of lollies or choccies on the table!!!! - They will be back for more. It was fabulous to see Shelley, Sue and Jenni at various workshops - I hope you gained some ideas that will work for you. If anyone wants copies of the card tutorials, just let me know and I'll email them to you. There has been no challenge this month and I forgot to let everyone know that Shelley is the winner of the August Challenge. Well done Shell - I love the use of the "Sanded" background stamp and little bit of Hodge Podge. Now I'm not sure if I can share this with you all as the file Shelley sent me is 900KB and I can only load graphics on this site to 100KB. Will have to have a play and see what I can do. CONGRATULATIONS TO: Melissa for promoting to a Supervisor. You are the first in my downline to reach that status. Shelley for achieving the first part of the Stampin' Start Program - 3 free stamp sets are nice to get aren't they Shelley? if you aren't sure of what you need to promote, or achieve the various parts of Stampin' Start, email me and I'll give you the details. I've floated the idea of 2 World Card Making Days for early October. There has been a little interest so far, but not a huge response, so not sure what will happen there. At this stage I'll continue to be positive and plan for the 2 events - a Stamp-A-Stack and a general card making day. If you are not holding your own day I'd appreciate your help in advertising these events. SEPTEMBER CHALLENGE Look at page 81 of the IB&C. Be inspired by the layout of the butterfly card and make your own creation using any SU stamp set, products and accessories.
