how would you like a handmade flower... or two... or three.... or more?

how many flowers does a girl need?! well, apparently... a lot!

i just finished a string of workshops on making handmade flowers as embellishments using Stampin' Up!'s dies, punches and other supplies. these 2-hour sessions were very popular and it was a lot of fun reconnecting with customers i haven't seen in a bit.

since i had to demo these flowers more than once, i find myself with quite a large stash of those gorgeous flowers (believe me when i say that i have a lot more than what's showing below!).

 

but they take up a lot of room and there are so many hours in a day to think of projects to use them up. oh, what do with them?! well, i'm all for sharing the wealth so i've decided to gather my stash of extra flowers and offering it to one of my newsletter subscribers.

so, all you have to do to participate is subscribe to my newsletter by entering your email in the sign-up box from the left sidebar. those of you who are registered will automatically be registered to win!

this little contest will close Saturday, Aug. 28th, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time.

ready? set.... go!

CeeCee

P.S.: i'm currently working on my christmas workshops calendar and the details will be out at the end of next week. so stay tuned for that!

giveaway + card + video tutorial = a great post!

with all the income tax filing and video editing, i completely forgot that i was giving away some goodies! so without further ado, here's the winner of the giveaway:

 

... wait for it ...

 

...here it is!

 

so, Vicki, please contact me as soon as possible so i can ship you the goodies. Congrats!

and here's today's card:

 

my starting point for this card, believe it or not, is a Nestabilities rectangle die which i've used to trace the frame on Kraft cardstock. but before i traced it with a white gel pen, i put a a pencil mark where i wanted my image to be. then i went ahead and stamped this pretty image from Country Morning, a level 1 hostess stamp set.

 

then the fun began... i colored the image with coloring pencils and OMS. this is my therapy. it really calms me down. i love how you can get the details to pop.

and finally, here's the link for a fun video tutorial by Card à la Carte. if you'd like to make a fun Easter Treat Bag, click here! 

oh! please remember that there is only 2 more days to order and get free Stampin' Up! products from the Sale-A-Bration promotion. So send me an email or call me to place your order!

have a fantastic tuesday. CeeCee

shopping - suggestions - blog contest

sorry no pictures today... cuz it's cold! Not as cold as in Montreal mind you but I had to buy a buy sweater because people were looking at me weird -- all i'm wearing is a skort, t-shirt and sandals.

so, since i'm the States and seeing as things are much cheaper than back home i was wondering who could suggest a good HD video camera to buy. please write your suggestions in my comments and you could win some goodies -- i'm going back shopping tomorrow :-))))

thanks and have a great day! CeeCee

Brandi, please send me your coordinates and I'll send you the goodies (which I'll have a photo of tomorrow).

I would also like to award a special CONSISTENCY prize to Marie-Pierre Capistran. Marie-Pierre posted every day and for that I congratulate her. Bravo, Marie-Pierre et un gros merci pour avoir visité mon blog assidûment. Je te remettrai ton prix lors de ton passage au Québec en janvier!

On to today's project. It was actually last night's last Club Meet. Unfortunately, I can't show you the whole thing since I ran out of chocolates and had to give mine to Kathy but I can show you one of the mini cards.

 

I'l show you the whole project tomorrow when I have time to replace the chocolates. Gotta get some sleep now since I was out all day for my Copic certification. That was a lot of fun but I had to be up at the un-godly hour of 8 a.m.!!!

Have a fantastic evening, CeeCee

a little delay... un petit retard

Today's card is another Christmas card from my upcoming Christmas Cards Workshop on Tuesday, November 3rd. I still have some room left, so call me or email me to register. You'll learn how to make your own shiny paper by using homemade shimmer mist using Stampin' Up!'s Shimmer Paint.

Tous mes ateliers sont donnés dans les deux langues alors n'hésitez surtout pas à vous inscrire. Même si les souhaits sur mes photos sont bien souvent en anglais, j'ai toujours l'équivalent en français. Vous n'avez qu'à m'appeler ou m'envoyer un courriel pour vous inscrire.

 

This card is a peek-a-boo made with the Magnetic Movers & Shapers for the Big Shot. It's a fun and simple thing to do. It cuts your whole card as well as the shape on the cover, all in one action. Ya gotta love that!

Here's a close up of the inside of the card:

 

Fun, isn't it? And the ornament inside is made with our new Ornament Punch.

Oh, and don't forget to leave comments on any post from until November 18th for a chance to win some goodies. On November 19th, I will be drawing the name of a lucky winner.

Until tomorrow, have fun crafting! CeeCee

christmas basket

Here we are. Day 3 of my personal challenge (see this post for more on that) and I'm still going strong (hahaha!). Just wanted to show you one of the projects we did at my Stamp Club8 meet last Friday:

 

So cute! And would believe that it's done with the Pillow Box Bigz Die for the Big Shot! We also used the Merry Moments Designer Series Paper to decorate the panels. We also used the Jumbo Snowflake Punch to anchor the handle on each side... of course, we had to glitter them! 

Oooh, I can just imagine this cute little basket for other holidays, like Valentine's Day or Easter!

Don't forget to leave a comment for your chance to win goodies (see details here).

Have yourself a wonderful Wednesday!

copic caddy and winner revealed

Let's start by revealing the winner Friday's contest. 

 

And that is: Pesc !!! Pescbrico, communique avec moi pour me donner tes coordonnées. Je t'envoie tes "bonbons"! Félicitations - Congrats!

I'm still on a re-organization kick and the last project I tackled is a caddy for my Copic markers. I bought this caddy from Bare Elements a while back from my local scrapbook store and it never dawned on me that it would be perfect for my ever-growing Copic markers stash. I was keeping them in a 3-drawer plastic case but I couldn't see the numbers or colors properly. Every time I needed a color, it was obviously at the bottom!

I covered the caddy with old Basic Grey papers. I've had the for years and still love them. They match the color of my walls and a tissue box I made a while back. Plus, don't you think that the new Rich Razzleberry ribbon matches the paper perfectly?! So yummy!

Now, they're all neatly sorted by colors! And... I have room to grow! I still have some space and in fact it's gonna look better as I add to my collection (that's my story and I'm sticking to it!). The Copic markers can be stored up right so no problem here. The only problem was to find the correct way to store the glitter Atyou Spica pens and Multi Liners which have to be stored horizontally. So I put them in an empty stamp set case from SU. It fits perfectly in the slim compartment of my caddy!

Love it! On the other side, I had an empty cubby to store my air brushing system and extra cans of air.

So now, instead of rifling thru 3 different drawers that are over my head, I just gather my caddy and color away!!! I love it when a plan comes together :-)

Have you been organizing too? Share your tips with us by leaving a comment here.

Happy Monday!
