December Kit "Believe"

Sorry all!  I've meant to post the December Kit before now but it was a wonderfully busy weekend at the store.  We had a great turnout for the Christmas Open House with a few late-night croppers on Friday night :)
This kit is filled to the brim with papers and a variety of embellishments for scrapbook layouts, but also for cards and December Daily pages (if you're completing one this year).

I stayed with a traditional Christmas palette ... deep reds, greens and creams with papers from Simple Stories 25 Days of Christmas, My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Christmas and a few from Bo Bunny Etcetera ...

A Webster's Pages die cut and number stickers from Simple Stories ...

A beautiful glittery gold American Crafts alphabet (as well as a mini alpha from Glitz), Prima flowers, Maya Road die cut and sheer snowflakes, Perfect Pearls Powder ...

Wonderful trims from Prima and Maya Road, My Mind's Eye decorative brads ...

Cards and envelopes from the Tim Holtz District Market collections, Prima jewels ...

Card bases prepared for you using decorative edges from Sizzix and Spellbinders (envelopes included) ...

And a set of layered embellishments from Up The Street ...

The kits have sold well over the last few days and I'm down to just a handful.  Visit the website to order or e-mail me at upthestreet@isp.ca to reserve one if you're planning on picking it up at the store.
Sarah has already been able to complete a few projects for the gallery and there are more to come!

"Old Fashioned Christmas"

Happy December all :) I'm assuming everyone is all ready for Christmas? I've just started a bit of shopping, but am woefully behind in all other holiday preparations.
At least the December kit is ready to go. There were so many gorgeous holiday lines this year that it was difficult to choose, but I finally settled on a mix of Bo Bunny Noel, Webster's Pages Waiting for Santa and Pink Paislee Father Christmas.
A 12x12 sheet of chipboard elements from the Bo Bunny Noel line is included as well as Basic Grey Jovial lace cardstock and Webster's Pages letter stickers.

The Inkadinkado "To/From" stamp is perfect for this time of year and there is a full set of Elle's Studio Christmas Tiny Tags. Add in the beautiful little Maya Road star trinket pins and you're set for little cards and tags this season.

The embellishments really make this kit ... layered stickers and buttons from the Basic Grey Jovial line, lush trims from Webster's Pages and Maya Road, stunning flowers and holly leaves from Prima ...

And one of the new embossing powders from Ranger. Unlike anything I've ever used.

The add-on this month includes a few products to beef up your main kit ... The Girls Paperie chipboard letters, Basic Grey Jovial tabs, Melissa Frances resin embellishments and vintage glass glitter ...

I'm still working on my Christmas photos from 2008 (pathetic), so hopefully this kit will help me make a dent in the pile.

Visit the website to order or stop the store to pick one up.

December Sneaks from Lesley

I was able to spend a bit of time playing around with the December kit today. I didn't get as much done as I would like, but was thrilled to get some sneak peeks from Lesley. Can't wait to see the rest :)
