Some great new products in the shop. Sheena Douglas stamps,a new blade to attatch to your clever cuts cutters and the new more compact cutter from clever cuts at only £12.99 with 3 blades. The well loved rocker blocks from crafters companian they make stamping soooo easy I lurve them, to add to that we are the only store at this moment in time to carry the six fab new colours from WOW, can life get any more exciting! yes it can. If only I could have taken some pictures of these products! but l think Amanda has my camera and I need a lesson on how to!he he. Yet another project on my how to list, I hope I have time for all these projects I have lined up for me to learn.

Love is in the Air!

I thought since Amanda and Kay had changed the background on the blog - a new look for a New Year :-) that I would title this post 'Love is in the Air!' in keeping with all those lovely fluffy clouds LOL!

We girlies at YTOC have talked about keeping the blog more updated and we're going to try to do better - we promise!  We should be getting hooked up to the net in-store in the next week or so to make this easier so hopefully throughout the year you'll get regular posts from all of us on the YTOC creative team.  And who knows where that may lead to?  We love to share our crafting with you and we love to see your own creations when you bring them into the store too so please bring them in to share.

In keeping with our promise I'm sharing a page sample that I dropped off in store yesterday.  This is for a class coming up on 16 February that I will be teaching so I hope you like what you see.

There are some really pretty details going on in this page including some yummy papers from Basic Grey and my ever favourite Bo Bunny polka dot papers too .  There's a good supply of these polka dot papers in a wide range of colours in store and a just as well - I use them all the time - I just love em'.  In fact I liked how this page turned out so much I am re-creating it today so I can have a copy for myself.

For those of you who take the scrapbooking classes maybe you should try this for 2011 - create a class page for yourself and then set aside an afternoon at home to re-create it for a friend or family member and you'll have an album full of pages to keep for yourself by the end of the year plus some lovely crafting gifts to give away too! Anyone up for the challenge?  I know I am!

I hope you've enjoyed this sample.  Rosina is creating a super cute Valentine mini album today in class so I'll try to get a sample picture posted for you.  Those of you that are booked onto the class - hope you have a fab time.

I have a few more pictures over on my own blog here if you want to stop by and take a look. 

Hugs

January Class

We wanted to post a quick picture of the project for the class due to take place on Wednesday 19 January.  The theme is Valentines Day - yes we know Christmas has only just come and gone but do you know how many Valentine's projects we've been seeing on the net lately?  Absolutely loads - that's how many and it wouldn't do for us to be left behind now would it?

This class is called 'pillow talk' and Suezie has created three different sized pillow boxes perfect for filling and gift giving to someone you love this February.  Actually they'd look every bit as pretty decorated up for Easter, Birthdays and yes even Christmas 2011 if you really want to get ahead.  In fact you really won't want to miss out on making these cute boxes because the possibilities are simply endless.

You can check out more over on Suezie's blog.  There are still just a few places left and I know Suezie is really looking forward to catching up with you all as are we.  And don't forget we still have Saturday classes planned for this year too - these were very popular last year so we plan to continue offering these. 

Can we take this opportunity to say we hope you all had a great Christmas (and that you got a few new crafting goodies too) and to wish all our customers a very happy, healthy New Year for 2011.
