I have been enjoying completing the challenge "tasks" throughout the week and thought that I would post some of what I learned. :)I love the adhesive springs and can't wait to start using them! Until I took the Training Academy new products course, I didn't realize that the best way to change the color of the color-ready ribbon is with a sponge. I was ready to get out the re-inkers! Sponging sounds much easier. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the new Studio J campaign for this month! I have already emailed the flyer to all my customers and I will continue at each of my gatherings to point out all the great possibilities with this campaign - wedding and baby gifts, go together with a friend and then you each get to try it for just $27.50 for five layouts - thats just $5.50 a layout - what a deal! I will also be calling those customers who have expressed an interest in STudio J in the past and letting them know about the special. I am also scheduling an Intro to Studio J class towards the end of the month.
Oops! I forgot to add my organization tip! :) I have those 12" x 12" stacking trays. At the beginning of each idea book, I re-organize my papers. I pull out the retired paper packets and move the 4 that carry forward to the bottom. I then put the new ones in - in the same order they appear in the idea book. That way it is easy for me to find the papers when I need them. The retired ones get moved into 12"x12"storage boxes. :)
