Sneak Peek of design to come & New Year Confetti possibly on hold...

Sad news, there was a problem with the New Years Confetti and the design was rejected by Silhouette. If there is anyone waiting for it, I'll try to redo it, otherwise, maybe it will be for next year. If you're interested in the confetti, please leave a comment for me mentioning it!

I am in the process of a wedding group of designs. If there are any wedding related designs you are looking for, let me know that too! Here's a sneak peek of a piece of a design that is coming. Can you guess what it is?

Answer and another sneak peek clue to come tomorrow!

Well, I hope everyone had a good Christmas, Hannukah, or holiday season! We enjoyed Christmas morning at our house. Besides three kids with sniffling noses, it was great. Here's a fun little exerpt from our lives: My husband woke our soon to be 3 year old up on Christmas morning. This little guys is just like me, late to bed and late to rise. My hubby told Aiden that it was Christmas morning. I think the little guy just rolled back over and put a blanket over his head. Then my hubby told him Santa had been here. I heard a confused "What?!" from the bedroom. Seconds later, he was out of bed, looking down at the gifts. It has been great to have the magic of Christmas around again with the excitment of our little guys.

Have a great New Year! Enjoy!

New Years confetti

Here is the New Years confetti that will be coming out shortly. This would be great to dress up the table of your New Years party or to let the kids throw at midnight (if you're okay with the mess). I cut it out of the cardstock I had at the moment, but it would be great out of a metallic looking paper. Be sure to get the Christmas Confetti for your Christmas Party too! It's already in the store.

The New Years confetti comes with "Happy New Year", "2009", "2010", star, confetti shape, streamer, circle, noise maker, and two welded champagne glasses. That's 9 shapes! You could also ungroup the design & enlarge the shapes you wanted.

Also, I was going to put a picture of the pattern from Hearthsewn Patterns that I talked about earlier, so here it is:

If you are into quilting, these are beautiful patterns for wallhangings, stockings, lap quilts, etc. There are even a few premade items. For example: this gorgeous table runner for only $30 called "Rosebuds and Blossoms".

 

Visit http://www.hearthsewnpatterns.com/ for more info and to see the rest of Jodi Warner's patterns.

Now to more coming designs. this is what I've come up for Niagra Falls. I tried making it just one layer and I couldn't really tell that it was the falls.

 I've also designed some simple welded one piece tourist site titles. Here are a few of them.

Leave a comment of which tourist attractions you are looking for and I'll try to work them into the schedule as soon as I can!

Enjoy!

New building designs to come!

I'm excited a few of you have visited!

Here are a few designs that will be coming out next week.

Did you notice the picture at the beginning of this post? It is the  left over "scrap" from a sheet of Christmas Confetti. I still haven't had a chance to make it into anything yet. I stay a bit busy with 3 kids under 3 years old, if you can imagine that. Also, if you're planning a New Years party, don't forget to purchase the New Years Confetti that will be out shortly!

Also, thank you Laura, for your suggestion. A note about when you submit a suggestion on the Silhouette Site. We are able to look at your suggestions that you request on Silhouette, but after there are so many, the old ones fall off the list. We can't get to every suggestion, so the older ones may be forgotten. The best thing to do is just keep requesting it till you get it. We are all trying to keep up the best we can, but we do appreciate your suggestions. One other thing, if there is a design that you would like in a certain style, by a certain designer, put that on there also if you have room. Some of us have emails or websites. You can also request things through those.

As Alsways, Enjoy!

Christmas confetti created by you! With your Silhouette!

And the sneak peek...I'm hoping everything works out and we're able to make this available quickly. It still has to be approved by Silhouette...it's....CONFETTI! Each design comes with confetti shapes already arranged to fit on an 8.5 x 11 sheet. (This doesn't mean the shapes go all the way to edge, you still need room for the rollers and margin.) It gets even better. Once you have cut your shapes out, your "scap" can be used for backgrounds, accents, whatever your heart can dream. I had intended to design it just for the confetti. Once I cut mine, I was amazed with how beautiful the "scrap" was. I will be using this for my neighborhood gift tags or something like that. As soon as I have it finished I will post a picture. I would love to see what you are doing too! Email what you have done to modaley2@msn.com and I'll post a few of them.
Anyway, here are the photos:

Christmas confetti in use. *If you like the stocking, you can check out http://www.hearthsewnpatterns.com/. Jodi G. Warner is the women behind Hearthsewn Patterns. She does some amazing things. She is pretty famous in the quilting world through the Utah area. Every year, she comes out with a new "Bear..." stocking. These are darling stockings that always have a pouch for a stuffed bear that she gives directions for. I'm not sure if the stocking in the photo is for sale as a pattern, but if you like this, you're sure to like the other things she sells. One you are sure to adore is "Christmas Wishes". Here's the link: http://www.hearthsewnpatterns.com/NewReleases.html  and look for "Christmas Wishes" HSN 185. It's a darling wall quilt with a gorgeous dove and the words "Merry Christmas. It may be too late to make it up for this year, but why not work on it for next!

Anyway, now that I've given you my little buzz on her, on to the next confetti picture:

I was halfway done pulling off the confetti, and thought you might want to see a little peak of how the template is set up. See that white space...won't that make a gorgeous lace? I'll post a picture of the actual "scrap" tomorrow, so stay tuned.

And here are what the individual shapes look like. Again, these are arranged in the template to just about cover your cutting space on an 8.5x11 sheet. That's a nice amount of cute confetti without much cost!

Alright, so don't forget to answer the previous questions, send me pics of what you've done, and...oh yeah, take the poll on the right!

Enjoy!
