Summer Mini.........

Hey there! Just thought I'd quickly post some pics of the cute little Art Journals that have been continued in the newest Mini Catalogue - the Summer Mini Catalogue. All the beautiful stamps and accessories will be available from the 1st December 2007 until the 31st March 2008. This of course means that all the sets and accessories from the Spring Mini Catalogue are unavailable from the 1st December! Email me quick if you wanted any of those and had been putting it off. You could take a chance that the set you are coveting will be in the new 2008-2009 Idea Book and Catalogue next April, but of course we won't know until March if that is the case, and it will be too late then!

Meanwhile, the sets in the new Summer Mini will be showcased at our launch on the 4th December - see the post below for details. Book in quick! I'm almost full!

So here is a pic for you - The small sized On Board Art Journal was in the Spring mini, and has been continued in the Summer mini. You can also still buy the Spiral punch to make the patterned paper fit perfectly around the spiral binding of the journal.

I have used the Au Chocolat double sided designer series patterned paper from the new Summer mini to cover them, and the Big Blooms stamp set from the Summer mini to decorate them in Pixie Pink and Yoyo Yellow. I have also used some aged copper Hodgepodge, cream grosgrain and chocolate grosgrain ribbon as embellishments, plus some clear buttons. Don't miss the wide Cream grosgrain ribbon down the side! It also comes in Chocolate and Celery, and is new in the Summer mini catalogue! Other sets make an appearance here, including the Expressive Flexible Phrases set, and the Newsprint Alphabet set.

The journals are a present that a friend and I have made for our dancing teachers - yes, we do an adult dancing class, including tap and jazz, and a bit of modern and ballet thrown in. No, you may not come and watch and point and laugh!!! But we do appreciate our beautiful, patient, talented teachers - Katie and Kerry - who identified their favourite colours as bright pink and yellow respectively. Hi girls! Love you lots..........
