Summer is finally here! Yvonne dropped in before I left for Chicago and we had a nice chat about my blog and how I can make everything easier to connect with. So, we or I have decided that I will not longer be posting here to this blog and everything will be managed at Fargocat Shops.
So, if you are looking for anything new, like my post about what I brought back from Chicago, check there
http://www.fargocatshops.com/2011/07/sunday-home-with-lots-of-new-cool.html
and become a follower of that blog so you don't miss out on anything. I will be tweaking it over the next month! So it may look a little wonky from time to time!
Thanks for reading,
Deborah

Another Day - A New Card With New Products!
Heartfelt Creations Stamp Set Dutch Iris Oval PreCut Set
Product ID: HCPC 3371
On the white background is a new release fade (embossing folder) by Tim Holtz
called Fancy and Floral which I think is beautiful. I added the newest Spellbinder
Grommet Tags for the Thinking of You. And the big newest "Find" I created the pearls on each side of the Thinking of You myself. Seriously you have to have this new product. It is made by Viva Decor and it is called a Pearl Pen. I am ordering in more of each colour. I only have Ice White at the moment. But it works exactly as the directions and video claim. It makes perfect rounded pearls in seconds. Even my cat could do it.
Product is only $6.00 - you can easily get one in each colour!

Happy Easter! 1 Year Anniversary Starts May 1st
I hope there is a Chocolate Easter bunny in your future today! Mine is sitting on a shelf just waiting to have its ears bitten off! My favourite is milk chocolate, my husband likes dark. So I don't have to share! We even have a really wild bunny running around our house (outside) and 3 deer come daily to eat the bird seed and new growth on the bushes. It is a mama dear and her 2 babies from last year. She continually tries to make them stop following her, she runs them off from time to time. Guess she knows when they have to learn to forage on their own. They are pretty cute!
May 1st marks the start of my online store and in house shop. I will be having some great specials so watch the blog and shop site for the list. I can tell you all Glue Dots will be $3.00 a box and once my UPS boxes arrive with the rest of my stock, I can put together some creative packages that I hope you will like!
Enjoy the day,
Deborah

Back from Toronto - Lots of Excited Crafters
The Creativ Festival was a Smash and I know everyone enjoyed shopping at my booth.
Standing room only a few times each day! For those of you locally, most of everything arrived home except all of my scrapbook paper. If you planned on dropping by to look for new paper, it will not be here until later this week. Just give me a call first.
I have started unpacking and should have the shop back in order by Wednesday.
Please bear with me as it is a big job. Especially as I am a bit creaky! Lots of carrying and toting without the benefit of my husband to help out has left me a little achey! But enough of my complaining. If you need anything, just call or if you drop by, we can definitely locate what you are looking for!

La Blanche Silicone Stamps
The hit at CHA was a brand new Company "La Blanche". Their line of silicone stamps were the talk of the show. I was able to order in some images before their line was completely sold out. Yvonne and I watched the designer complete a couple of cards and she was using a specialty paper and coloring the images in with cut and dry nibs and distress ink. They are extremely heat resistant and you can actually pour hot UTEE over them!
Check out this video for a look at the Designer we saw actually demonstrating the stamps...http://www.paperclipping.com/scrapbooking-supplies/cha-2011-la-blanche-new-company-with-innovative-stamps/

Kaisercraft's Newest Line from CHA Winter 2011
Kaisercraft's booth at CHA was beautiful, the Aussies have a way of making you feel like sitting down and having a cuppa tea with them. I ordered in Magic Happens as it reminded me of Disney World and lots of little princesses decked out in bling and pink and mauve. Yvonne and I fell in love with their wooden decor accents and I ordered in a few things to have fun with. Here are the projects that inspired me to order in this line along with some items from the Bubblegum collection that reminded me of Easter. All items are now in stock.

Back From Florida!
We arrived home late last night in Pictou County. What a welcome, where did all this snow come from! I won't be open for business until next Monday, March 7, as I have to get my house back in order from being away for so long. Lots of cat hair as you can imagine plus we have to get our driveway opened up a bit. I did bring lots of new products back with me so I will be posting some items as I get unpacked.
Thanks,

New Ranger Product - Distress Stain
The picture is from my workshop which was very fast paced. I am holding the box we created with Tim, he signed it for me. We also created 3 other boxes, which were basically frames and hollow underneath. With Tim's box, we applied the new Distress Stain all around the sides of the frame. This is a great product and I have ordered in all of the colours. Here are the details.
Available in 12 Distress palette colors, the Distress Stain comes in 1 oz bottles with a dabber top, similar to walnut ink many scrappers and stampers may have used. Distress Stain is a water-based dye that soaks into porous surfaces like paper. It’s not blendable like the Distress Ink pads are. In CHA demos, Holtz showed its usability for covering large areas (like a tag background) with color and for creating soft ink effects, like a watercolor look, with stamping.
You will love these and the price point is $5.00 Now back to ordering!

La Blance Stamps - A Refreshing Addition to Stamping
Yvonne and I totally agreed that the hit of CHA was a small stamp display called "La Blanche".
The stamps are all white and made of silicone, light as a feather but durable and stand up to any distressing you can throw at them. The designer artist was stamping the image in black on this fabulous non coated paper and using resist techniques. The stamps are extremely heat resistant and they can be used with Archival Ink, VersaFine ink pads and also with StazOn ink. She coloured in the images using small Ranger Cut and Dry nibs. I know you will enjoy these stamps and I have ordered in the following images. Prices will be reasonable. I will have some pictures to post as well. I cannot wait to do a class with you with these. It is going to be so much fun, just in time for Easter with the bunny!

A Day Of Classes
I started the day off with a Ranger Class taught by Tim Holtz, Claudine Hellmuth and 2 other talented Ranger Presenters. We completed 4 projects and received a ton of free product. Yvonne did a Tattered Angels Class which she enjoyed as well. Next was Flower Soft for me, 4 card project using some new card fronts, cute. Yvonne bedazzled her hand sanitizer container in a class by Jolenes, not a winner! (LOL) She can definitely locate it in her purse, however.
I went to a wonderful Canadian Workshop in the afternoon for 2 hours and was thrilled to find so many Cdn products that I will be bringing into my Shop. Yvonne took a mini album class by Punky Sprouts and a couple of other companies. Then we went to a new product room to see the newest hot items.
Mini burgers, pizza were on for the free reception food with brownies to die for. It is now 6 p.m. and we have one last class. Mine is Hero Arts which was 4 neat cards with lots of techniques. Yvonnes was
a Sissix class. Mine finished early and I waited for her. Yvonne comes out of her class toting a fabulous
prize, a NEW BIGSHOT!! Yeah Yvonne! My turn next!
It is now 11:39 p.m,., time to turn in, big day ahead tomorrow! Hopefully some pictures!

Officially Away on Vacation Starting Tomorrow!
Please keep watching the blog for product pre-orders. The shop at my house
will be closed until I return early March. Sorry, but my house sitters don't do rubberstamping! (LOL)
But I will be having a ton of fun and sharing it with you. Please be patient and keep watching. Heartfelt Creations, Tim Holtz and Spellbinders are pre-orders if you see something you would like!

My New Blog Banner!! Yeah!!
Later today you should see my new Blog Banners on both sites, Fargocat Designs and Fargocat Shops. I am so excited. Over the next few days, I will be tweaking both sites a bit, changing colours, etc, getting it centered. I hope you like the new banner as much as I do.
It was designed by Yvonne Balmers, daughter, Kristen Balmer! Who lives in Toronto with her own 2 cats and works as a graphic designer and illustrator. If anyone would like her information for work, please contact Yvonne. And, please leave a comment. I know both of them would love your comments.
