Glenda's Creative Place - Paper Crafting fun, CRICUT, CLOSE to MY HEART Consultant

Are you ready?? Here we go again. I'm still taking your pre-orders in readiness for placing my order with Spellbinders for all the newest products they just rolled out/revealed for their debut at CHA. The soonest we can place orders is 9AM Eastern time on Tuesday, Jul 28th, which is when the CHA Convention Floor opens. Since I opted not to go to Orlando, I'll be here, ready to transmit my order electronically. I am still taking your pre-orders over this weekend, but please, send them to me ASAP. After the last big product release (of the Pendants & the Borderabilities), it was absolutely crazy & the demand for those dies was so high that Spellbinders actually had to order thousands & thousands more to be manufactured, just to try to meet the demand. I was lucky, because I had placed multiple orders (initial & re-orders) right away, so except for a handful that were missing, for the most part, I received the dies that I ordered. But many others were NOT so lucky,...

OK, here we go again. Seems I just finished with the initial pre-orders for the first 16 new Spellbinders (aka SPB) dies (the Pendants & Borderabilities) and now I'm starting pre-orders for all the NEWEST SPB dies, being released in yet ANOTHER Blog Frenzy rollout!!! WHEW!! See the SPB Blog for all the details & to follow the "Reveals" of the new dies: http://spellbinderspaperarts.com/blog/ Please email your orders to me ASAP, as I want to be sure I get enough products ordered & stocked, so as to keep up with your orders. Email your orders to: glendascreativeplace@yahoo.com -- ***PLEASE, PLEASE include in the Email Subject line: “Order for new SPELLBINDERS Dies” *** --that will help me sort out your orders as Priority #1!!! Thanks. It is MORE IMPORTANT than EVER to pre-order these dies, to avoid being shut out, if Spellbinders sells out this new group too, as they've just done with the initial rollout of the 16 new dies (Pendants & Borderabilitie...

New Rock-A-Blocks, new Spellbinders dies (all at GREAT prices!!) and more--all ready for purchase!! WOW, what a week!! Not only did I roll out the new, larger, add-on Companion set for the Rock-A-Blocks, plus several Crafter's Companion "bundles", (all with their own PayPal "BUY NOW" Buttons, just over on the right side of my blog here!), but now I'm also ordering all the brand new Spellbinders dies that were just revealed during Spellbinder's amazing Blog Frenzy!! OK, so now that all the Spellbinders Dies have finally been revealed in all their amazing beauty (some of these are breathtaking , aren’t they???), I’m placing my orders for them with Spellbinders. See all the dies here from the 8 Day Previews: http://spellbinderspaperarts.com/new I've decided to have special pricing for all of these brand new dies during the ordering phase!!! So here they are: Pricing during initial ordering phase: . All of the New Pendants Dies: $16.50 . All of the Ne...

Wow, after waiting & waiting since January, the new, larger size Companion set of Rock-A-Blocks (RAB2)are FINALLY, FINALLY here!!! WooHoo!!!!!! Plus, I've added some bundles for the different Crafter's Companion products that I carry!!! I was soooo excited when the UPS man arrived with my shipment of the new large Rock-A-Blocks last evening!!! You should have seen me rip open that shipping box!! And boy, oh boy, did I EVER give them a serious work-out last night. I was in a stamping frenzy!!! We have needed these additional sizes of Rock-A-Blocks (one block is 4 1/2" x 7", and the other block is 2" x 7") sooooo badly!!!! And they work just as fabulously as the original set---they are just sooooo easy & the results from both sets are absolutely outstanding!!! No more ink splotches from ink on your block transferring onto your paper!! No more unevenly stamped images !!! No more ruined projects!!! WooHoo!!!! (Can you tell I'm excited??? I feel li...

Hi all!! Wowee, this has really been a hectic week, so I'm a bit behind in my posting here--sorry! But the good news is that I have a TWO-PART Video Tutorial for you (which I finally managed to get edited--yeah!!!) that shows one of my personal, very favorite features & techniques using the UCC (Ultimate Crafter's Companion), which is the EnveloBox (3-D Envelopes). These are the great 3-D envelopes that actually allow you to have enough room within them to enclose your beautiful, multi-layered cards without having the dreaded "envelope squish factor" !! (EEEEKKKKK---noooo, anything but that!!!) In other words, your beautiful cards will have plenty of wiggle room inside these amazing EnveloBoxes, so all that work you put into them, all those Cricut images or Cuttlebug die cuts or embossed pieces, Nestabilities, your Primas (or other flowers!!), ribbons, Skittles and all that other great stuff you love to put on your cards will still be intact AND still be dimen...

I hope everyone's having an absolutely wonderful National Scrapbook Day!!!! I wanted to let everyone know in honor of this holiday of ours, any orders placed on my blog today or tomorrow (Sat. May 2 nd or Sun. May 3rd), I will throw in 3 extra sets of "goodies" (in addition to all the ones I already throw in there!!)!!! And they'll be extra special goodies, I promise!!!! Just use the "BUY NOW" Buttons right here, at the very top of my blog, over on the right side. And so far, those all still have the same sales prices on them as before--I will not even contemplate changing them (increasing them--- waaaaahhhh !!) until I completely run out of the inventory that I managed to snag with the better prices & when I have to start selling the inventory that I was charged more for by the manufacturer!!! So again, grab them all while you can still get them at the lower prices!!!! Have a marvelous & very creative National Scrapbook Day!!! Hugs to all o...

Ohhhh, I'm so excited!!! It's getting close to the end of the month, which means that all my Blog Followers (who were signed up as my Blog Followers in the month of April or before) will be automatically entered in my monthly Blog Follower contest Give-Away!!! I just LOVE give-aways, don't you?? For those of you who might not be familiar, starting in April, I'm holding a monthly give-away among just my Blog Followers. They don't have to do a darn thing except be signed up as a Follower, in which case, they are automatically entered each & every month. Pretty cool, huh?? And you just never ever know what the prizes might be--one month could be a really big give-away, another month might be a bit more low key, but, just know that there will ALWAYS be a give-away!!! And in this economy, every little bit helps, right??? Sooooo, if you're NOT signed up as a Blog Follower of mine, hurry up & do so!!!! To sign up, scroll down the right side of my blog until yo...

Hi all!!! Yeaaaahh --NEW videos are being uploaded--finally!!! Ohhhh , wow, have I been a busy gal. So, I've gotten behind on my (self-imposed!) video schedules. But, I'm finally getting some of the videos I actually made more than a month ago edited and uploaded for you. Most of these are part of a new series of videos that I'm doing called: "Glenda's Hints & How- Tos " (aka GHHT ) . These will be videos of a much SHORTER duration than most of my more detailed tutorials. These videos are simply little snippets, little nuggets of information that I've learned and found out along the way that have helped me get my craft projects done more easily & quickly. My hope is that these new GHHT videos will contain some information that will also be helpful to you. If so, please let me know by posting your comments here & also by rating the videos within the YouTube.com site itself. For those of you that want to be sure to be notified of any new posts ...

Well, it’s been a while since I’ve posted, but, let me tell you, I have been a very BUSY gal. First, let me tell you that my Blog Candy Give-Away spreadsheet has finally been completed & after a LOT of research, a lot of generous help from sooooo many people out there & a LOT of sleepless nights, it is working exactly how I’d hoped it would for this first Blog Candy contest of mine. All your entries & the information you gave me have been checked, double checked, triple checked & then checked again over & over to make sure everything was entered correctly. And BTW, it was checked not only by me, but also by my new friend & amazing Excel goddess, Stacy S., aka StackyScraps from the Cricut MB, who used to be an auditor, so you KNOW she checked it all very thoroughly, which is exactly what I wanted her to do!!! FYI, Stacy is also the person who deserves the credit for finally fixing up my spreadsheet, for figuring out the correct formulas & almost everything el...

Hi All!! First, right off the bat, let me profusely apologize for being late with my Blog Candy Give-Away (which from now on, will be abbreviated to: BCGA) & I want to say that it is TOTALLY my own fault!!! It's due to the fact that I really thought I remembered much more about Excel spreadsheets (especially the part that involves formulas!!! EEEKKKK!!!) than it turned out that I actually did!!! After not having to use Excel for about eleven years, I guess I hadn't quite retained the knowledge I thought I would have. Let me explain: As you were all voting for my BCGA & many were signing up to be Followers in order to get the multiple votes (thank you soooo much!!!), I was trying to keep up by entering every one's info into an Excel spreadsheet. The reason I was using a spreadsheet is because I wanted Excel to do all the math for me (especially after it turned out there were so many more entries than I'd ever dared to hope for, which is a complete JOY to me!!!). ...

OK, the end is near!!!! (Oh nooooooo, not "THAT end”!!!!) No, the end I’m speaking of is the end of my BLOG CANDY Give-Away!!! This weekend is the LAST CHANCE YOU’LL HAVE to vote for which Tutorial you most want to have me do for you, & YOUR VOTES are WHAT enter YOU into MY BLOG CANDY Give-Away!!! As an added incentive, I’m going to reveal a little hint about what the Grand Prize Winner will receive. The GRAND PRIZE Winner will receive a really cool CRICUT Cartridge !!! WooHoo!!!!!! I've put together a partial list of possible tutorials I’m thinking of doing for you here on my blog & what I want you to do is to vote for your TOP 3 (and BTW, if there's something else that I don't have listed here that you'd like to see, feel free to substitute your suggestion for mine!!). To vote, just go to the COMMENTS section at the end of this thread & post a COMMENT !!! That will automatically enter you in my BLOG CANDY Give-Away. And BTW, you may ENTER MORE THAN O...

Well, once again, first I want to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU , because the orders are STILL coming in for both the Ultimate Crafter's Companion & the Rock-A-Blocks!!! I am truly humbled!!! I've placed yet ANOTHER re-order with the manufacturer & am waiting for my re-orders to arrive!!! In the meantime, in order to simplify the process for EVERYONE, I've added some "BUY NOW Buttons" from PayPal, which will simplify the process for ALL of us!!! To recap, I absolutely fell in LOVE with these 2 products when I saw them at CHA, & because I really believed in them, decided to place orders for both of them. That original quantity was all I ever intended to deal with. Well, the quantity I originally ordered from the manufacturer were just blown out the doors from the moment I offered them on my blog. Then, because soooo many people still wanted them, I went ahead & placed re-orders for both products & am now waiting for my shipments to arrive...
