Product Preview: Core'dinations "It's what's inside that counts!" Preview Report

Hi all!

Hope you've had a fantastic day :) We had a wonderful time Monday night at Product Preview: Core'dinations "It's what's inside that counts!" - this cardstock is AWESOME and we had alot of fun trying all kinds of techniques, giving away goodies and lots of laughs too.

Quick checklist before guests arrive:

Wee Core'dinations flags just to be finished...

Final check the various projects and that the project packs are complete...

Layout project featuring a Technique Band

Wendy's brain-bender card, the inside deceives the eye as it folds out how you think it shouldn't!

another Wendy Wonder with this envelope book for the Take Home Project

The product is out and ready to be revealed

Unique goodies all ready to give our guests... this are some super cute plastic bowls with a "NZ Scrapbook awl" heheeehe- also known as a giant push pin with a cute eraser on the end PLUS a distressing tag kit, a walnut ink sampler, a rocky mellow puff complete with Core'dinations flag and a page of jokes just for good measure!

All the tables are purrty like with product kits and gifts.

Flags stuck in anything that stays still long enough!

Ann checking all the last minute tasks were in hand!

Yay! time for the guests to arrive!

Each participant is checked in, and welcomed with a drink while everyone arrives. Then the famous queue for the classroom - goodies at the top of the stairs!

We settled in and then straight into showing how cool the Core'dinations range is. Here I am holding some of the ColorCore cardstock - that light tan border shows you the colour of the core!

Yes, that is a shade of red (my ColorCore?)- it's ok, I can take a good amount of teasing!

Woot! lets make some pages!

Creating a Technique Band lets us try lots of effects and make a great page addition at the same time.

Yummm... Michelle makes her scratched Black Magic into something really special.

Black Magic through the Cuttlebug and sanded back... also gorgeous!

Some thoughtful page planning.

and of course PRIZES!

Congrats Shontelle, Michelle, Stacey and Clare! Hope you enjoy those ColorCore cardstock packs :)

Check out the mice layout!
