The Road Less Traveled - Sneak Peak

Hi everyone!

I had a really nice day on Monday.  The weather was on the icky side here, so during a break in the rain I ran out in search of a large plastic bag for an extra large gift.  Found one at Party City and got back home before the heavy rain picked up again.

Today's card is a sneak peak from the new Occasions catalog.  I am using two of the products I anticipate will be very popular - at least they are popular with me!  LOL!  I am using the Adventure Bound Designer Series Paper Stack and the Adventure Awaits photopolymer stamp set.  These two products in combination are really well suited for that young adult group.  Both male and female, but in my case, there are several mid-twenties guys that will receive cards using this combo.

Supply List:

Adventure Awaits Photopolymer Stamp Set
$4.49

Adventure Bound Designer Series Paper Stack
$6.95

Jet Black Stazon Ink Pad
$7.95

Early Espresso 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock
$6.95

Sahara Sand 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock
$6.95

*******************
Workshop News - The next workshop will be held January 17, 2015 at 1:00 PM. We will make 4 cards and a small project.   The cost will be $18.00 or $5.00 with a $30.00 order.  Reserve your spot today!  Reservations will close on January 7 to allow time to receive and prepare workshop materials.



Looking for the perfect last-minute gift? Avoid the crowds and stay cozy by the
fire. We’ve got you covered with prepaid Paper Pumpkin subscriptions.

Choose from 1, 3, 6, or 12 months. Then, click, print, sign, and stuff into their
stocking. Easy! You can literally wait until the very last minute, but save yourself
the stress and go get it now.

And, to sweeten the deal, sign up for a 3 month prepaid subscription, get a $10.00 gift certificate to my online store.
Sign up for a 6 month prepaid subscription, get the $10.00 gift certificate + Block D clear mount block.
Sign up for a 12 month prepaid subscription, get a $20.00 gift certificate + Block D clear mount block.

These offers are good for all prepaid subscriptions purchased through December 31, 2014.  Click here to purchase yours today!
