Oh so gorgeous twinklies, glitteries, shinies yummy things!

Hello fabulous ones :)
Our Product Preview: Die Cuts with a View, All That Glitters was a sparkling sold out success! Here's the recap...


Pink lemonade and silver sprinkled marshmallow cones started the evening with a fun atmosphere as our participants browsed the store leading up to the main release part of the night.
We had a few recipe requests, and they are so simple to make - here's the recipe for those who didn't catch it on the night:

Marshmallow Cones

1 heaped tablespoon of gelatin, 1 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of boiling water, vanilla essence or flavouring of your choice and ice cream cones. Pour boiling water into your mixing bowl, add gelatin, sugar & flavouring. Beat until thick and pour into cones and top with sprinkles or lollies. Alternative idea pour onto biscuit or shortbread base for a marshmallow slice.

On with the creativity!

Up to the main classroom area, do I see a sugar flush happening?? hehehe

At the top of the stairs each participant was loaded up with goodies and then found their seats at gold dotted tables.

Once settled, on with the sharing of the new product. We bought in ELEVEN ranges from Die Cuts with a View. I did a proper count and thats 246 DIFFERENT designs in all with approx 2/3rds being glittery or foiled in some way. I shared my favs (I like A LOT) and there was much oooing and ahhing -very fun to share!

Then the scrapping began! Each participant had the option of a cat or dog pack - lots of great pages were created!

Talk about some cute pets!

In between the layout project and card project we gave aways some cool prizes!

Our lucky winner Barbara with the main prize of a BabyG watch (thanks Fiskars for sponsoring!)

Then back to creating a very cute baby card before heading back downstairs for a closer look at the new product, coffee, and pink biscuits with sprinkles (gotta love those - not just for kids!)

We had a great time hosting this event for all of you who attended. For those who couldn't make it we will be posting extra packs on our website. Product permitting, extra class packs will be a regular offering after many of our events and classes.

Thank you to so many of you who have offered such positive feedback about our events. Our number one purpose is that you will leave our store having had an enjoyable time and we are so glad that you did! I wonder what will be on next here at NZ Scrapbook... Not to mention Product Preview Number Four!! Stay tuned :) :)

Anyways, byes for now... I have a rather large store covered in glitter to vacuum... the girls are laughing at me cos they think I will be vacuuming till Christmas!!!
