Sale-A-Bration starts Tues, Jan 28 - get ready for new project ideas

Remember the three cards I showed earlier this week? I was asked to show a close up of each card, so look below for details of each. These are great idea starter for using many of the new products from the new Occasions catalog

Three ideas all using Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper. Click for larger image.

The Occasions Catalog that went live earlier this month, includes the Pomp & Circumstances set used on the first card below. The twine is part of one of the Sale-A-Bration Accessories kit you can get free with $50 (excluding tax and shipping) purchase next week Tuesday when Sale-A-Bration kicks off. My niece graduates next month and I'm ready with a modern, hip card that I know she will enjoy.
