I saw this on Elizabeth Craft's Facebook posting . . .

by Els

Els cleverly used the negative from the ECD Water Lillie Peel Off
for the center of this card with the beautiful
Glitter Ritz glitter.

If you don't know how to transfer the negative pieces from the peel-offs, come on in and we'll show you how. It's a technique that we learned from Magenta a long time ago.



At today's Lost & Found Christmas Book class, Marie showed us a very clever technique. If you need to press out ribbon you're using on a project, take out your 'hair straightening' iron . . . it's a "good thing"! Marie shared some other clever ideas during the book class . . . we're very anxious for her to schedule another class soon.

We enjoy and appreciate many talented customers at Art 'n Soul. I thought you might be interested in this contest from Graphic 45:

This is my grandniece (Camryn) and I at her charity soccer match in Auburn Friday night. Her team won, and Camryn contributed one of the winning goals! The two teams raised over $4,000 for breast cancer research.

Camryn's winning soccer team, Team Fury!
I loved their special uniforms, especially the knee sox!

To answer many of the same questions, the Memory Box Christmas papers featuring the snowy bear, candy canes and music sheets have been ordered; I'm hoping Memory Box will be able to ship our order so we receive it by the end of this week. Sandra bought up the renaining 8.5 x 11 chipboard after today's class, and I ordered more tonight; there is plenty of 12 x 12 chipboard on the back paper rack.


One last thought . . . don't forget to vote! If you haven't sent in your absentee ballot or dropped it off in a drop box, be sure to do it as soon as possible.
