What Day Is It ?...

Hi folks...the problem with taking time out to join in the Christmas festivities is that it completely knocks us oldies for six in the memory department...yes I woke up this morning and didn't have a scooby doo which day of the week it was but with a little help from the calendar I did manage to work out that if the day before yesterday was Wednesday and yesterday was Thursday then today must be FRIDAY.  And with no more excuses to play truant and time ticking away there was nothing else for it but to shut ourselves in the cubbyhole yesterday and knuckle down to making a start on the work stuff...the samples to launch the brand new 2013 Fiskars Toys Products which I have totally fallen in love with....seriously folks border punching with the AdvantEdge Punch System just became a piece of cake...
The innovative design of the AdvantEdge Punch System includes slide and lock technology that allows you to keep the paper in one place while the punch cartridge slides from one lock-in slot to the next for a perfectly aligned border...eliminating those costly mistakes and wasting your precious patterned papers. I couldn't find any reference to the weight of paper recommended for use with the AdvantEdge in the literature I got but it did cut this gorgeous and very intricate Winter Frost Border from textured Bazzill cardstock with absolutely no problems...
 and with the use of the adapter that comes in the Starter Set...
you can also use the new Interchangeable Border Punches..taking all the work out of lining up the pattern
The new 2013 products will be launched at the CHSI...February Trade Show at The NEC in Birmingham and please don't quote me but I'm assuming they will be available to buy in the UK early Spring.
One day back at work and woohoo I've managed to wangle a day off...the bonus of being the boss lady around here...I'm escaping the shackles...forgetting about deadlines to meet up with friends for a "chicks at the flicks" morning followed by lunch and a blether. We're off to see Life Of Pi and have also got tickets for Friday next week for the film I can't wait to see...woohoo...the movie version of my favourite musical of all time...the FABULOUS LES MIS...Fridays may well become a regular "girls day out" date.
