Where's CraftFusion?

Each week we receive so many phone calls from people wanting to know just where we're located.  With so few papercrafting stores open anymore . . . other than those big box stores we all know of . . . it can be hard to find the one store who carries just what you're looking for.  So, like "Where's Waldo?", we thought we'd make it a little easier and less stressful to find us and help with some directions.  But if you need more, please continue to call . . . even if only to say "hello"!  We love hearing from you!

We've Been Ranger-ized!

Once again, it was a full house at this past Saturday's "Ranger Studio Day - Session 2" Workshop.  Everyone was geared up to learn new techniques, be creative, and have fun!

"The Kit" - BEFORE!!

With Ranger Certified Instructor, Michael Jack, at the helm of the group, it was an intense, fast-paced day packed with learning over 25 new techniques using Ranger products ranging from Embossing Powders, UTEE, Claudine Hellmuth Paints, to Ranger's new Ultra Fine Dry Stickles . . . with an extra dose of Dylusions tossed in for good measure!  All those attending finished the day with all the scoop and how-to's on all these fantastic Ranger products and had a great time while doing so.  Each one left the Workshop with their own great reference tag book they created using all the exciting products and techniques that will be perfect for re-creating each technique in their own projects . . . and this doesn't even include the specialized, personal kit of new, full-sized tools each one was given to keep and take home with them!

And all this doesn't even count all the food and goodies throughout the day . . . starting with breakfast with a variety of muffins and juices . . . on to the sandwich party tray with different types of meats, potato salad, chips, and so much more . . . plenty to go around!

Captain Mike . . . with Ms. Lesley's guidance . . . demo-ing a new technique.  One of many!
