With all the excitement of the new catalogue, I thought it would be great to get some creative minds together and invited my customers to a launch party on 27 August 2010. Thank you to everyone who came on the night, and to others who ordered a ‘Party in a Bag’.
I greeted everyone with a glass of champagne and some nibbles to get the night started…….. can you see the little name tags on the champagne glasses. I used the flag from the new stamp set ‘Party this Way’ pg. 35.

I also had some samples on display, my version of flowers in a tea cup on page 85 of the catalogue. Made using the scallop circle as the back of the flower, and a further 1 ½ scallop circles cut at each 2nd scallop (ie. like a heart shape), fold in half and glue onto the flat scallop circle. Sponge over the top in the coordinating ink, add a contrast colour for the centre of the flower to cover the glue.

Oh….and did I mention that I tortured everyone by sealing my catalogue and marking TOP SECRET….ha-ha, they had to wait until they had made their make and takes!!! *insert evil laugh*

We had plenty of raffles and give-aways on the night, I’m pretty sure everyone walked away with at least one prize!!! And everyone who attended received a Party Bag (as well as those who ordered a ‘party in a bag’) which included the New Catalogue (OF COURSE!), cardstock samples, designer series paper samples, rubber stamp and lots of other goodies!!
I had a great night with fellow crafters!! Watch out for posts featuring the ‘make and take’ projects and other samples from the new catalogue.
