ReplyDeleteDear French General-
ReplyDeleteI'd love to receive the scraps you mention. I make "ornaments" that will
certainly show up on my tree at Christmas this year, but that are cheering
to display year round.
They combine beads, cut paper bits, vintage paper-and more.
So, there you go!
All best-Jean
I walked the CHA show for three days and by the end of it, all I wanted to do was go back and look at your new line with Jolee's! Your line is so refreshing---us paper crafters have been waiting for something like this to come around for years and years. Thank you for being the one to do it---and I would love to be the one chosen to create something beautiful for you.

Whoever get ths package is one lucky duck!
Hi Kaari!
ReplyDeleteI would love to receive a bag of scraps! Bits are the best source of
new inspiration and I would gladly take the challenge!
I recently moved to Missoula, Montana (from Lake Tahoe) and the
sources here are, well, let's say limited. I did walk into a bright
shining star of a store yesterday though, that had your books on the
shelf! It's called Selvedge Studio, and I'm so happy they are here! I
mentioned to the owner how much I love your books and patterns and she
said she has made many of them too! Just thought you'd like to know
how far your influence goes out there :)
I wish I was closer to take some of your classes (and have the funds
to go on your French trips!!!!!!) but in the absence of those
opportunities, I hope I can play with your paper!
Have a great day, Kaari!
Cathy Thorne
I would love a "bag of scraps!" As soon as a friend directed me to your site I instantly fell in love with your products. I hope to one day see them IRL!!!

ReplyDeleteSharon Buford aka Sewn Seabee
ReplyDeleteI agree!
Ohhhhhhh, SO PRETTY!

Can't wait to see your creations and to use them in my own creative projects (that is if I can actually bear to use them - I'll be tempted to hoard.) Would love some scraps to start creating - scrapbook pages, collage, etc. Thanks for the opportunity. -Karen
ReplyDeleteHello Kaari,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new venture!!
I teach scrapbooking, Artist Trading Cards and small book making. Currently, I am creating a book on the journey of "Zarafa", a true story about
a giraffe who traveled 500 miles from Africa to the heart of Paris in the year 1827. She was given to Charles X of France from Muhammad Ali of Egypt and lived in Jardin des Plantes for eighteen years. I would just love to see all your new paper and embellishments travel on these pages.....
