November Newsletter

Hello, welcome to the Lisa B Designs November newsletter. I hope you had a great October, with plenty of crafting time. It's been all systems go here for the last few weeks. I've been busy preparing for the November classes, as well as making samples for the Imagination Crafts weekend on the new craft channel, Hochanda, towards the end of November & for my stint demoing on the Imagination Crafts stand at the Hobbycrafts Christmas craft show, at the NEC in Birmingham, next weekend, Nov 5-8. The Card-io Combinations & Card-io Majestix Christmas stamps are still selling very well. I have added some more to the website...............                It should come as no surprise that I absolutely love stencils. They're so versatile & can be used with virtually any medium, from inks to embossing pastes. I'm thrilled to have added a small selection of A5 stencils from Dutch Doobadoo to the website today & I'm sure I will be adding more.           There are some more new items, including cutting dies, tools & more stencils & they can all be found in the What's New section........... The Lisa B Designs Facebook page continues to grow, thanks to all the lovely crafters who have liked the page. When the page reaches 500 'likes', I will do a giveaway & one lucky person, chosen randomly, will win a prize - yet to be decided. As a result of my being in Birmingham next week, my trusty sidekick, Kirsten, will be running the Maidstone classes in Fant Hall, ME16 8NN, on Friday, Nov 6. The ladies will be making two Christmas cards with die cuts, stencils & Imagination Crafts Starlights paints. These paints really are something special & they're proving to be enormously popular........   Here's a sneak peek of one of the class projects.......... If you could please bring the following: Small paintbrush, Imagination Crafts Diamonds stencil, or similar.......... The piece of Mylar you were given at the October Cardi-io class... **Kirsten will have some of these Mylar pieces to give to those who are new to the class, or who weren't at last month's class, but there will not be enough for everyone, so please bring yours.** If you don't want to have to wait for items, then please also bring Distress inks, a small embossing machine, a Cuttlebug for example & a background embossing folder. (There will be a few machines available for you to use). **Please ensure that your items are labelled with your name.** Class times are 2.30-5.30pm & 6.30-9.30pm. There are a few places available in both classes this month. The cost is £16, (tea/coffee & cake included) & you can book your place by emailing me; lisabaker1@btinternet.com, or by phone; 01622 675 078. You can also message the Lisa B Designs Facebook page. The shop will be open for the duration of the classes, from 2.30 to 9.30pm, with predominantly Christmas stock available. If you wish to order anything in advance, please contact me by Tuesday evening, Nov 3. After that, you can order items, or book a class place, from Kirsten, via the Lisa B Designs Facebook page, or her email; isisimaginings{at}gmail{dot}com. Please order no later than Thursday evening, Nov 5. This will give Kirsten time to put your orders together on Friday morning. The current blog challenge theme is 'Stamped Christmas Scenes', it runs until midnight on Sunday, Nov 8. the prize, for one randomly chosen winner, is a £20 e-voucher to spend at lisabdesigns.co.uk.  **If you use Card-io stamps on your project, you will get a second entry.

All our projects can also be found on the Lisa B Designs Design Team Pinterest board. It just remains for me to wish you a fantastic November. Thank you for your continued support & if you're at the NEC between Nov 5 & 8, drop by the Imagination Crafts stand & say hello. It would be lovely to see you.
