Where's the craft bus today?

Today several members of the OMC staff are hanging out with friends in Spokane, Washington for the bus tour shin dig that we've been raving about nonstop. Word is they're having a grand time scrapping their hearts out. And yesterday the bus toodled around Tacoma, teaching this cutesy mini album and these home decor projects:

(If these lovely home decor projects look familiar to you, it's because they are! It's the Quick Quotes project kit that we worked on during our New England / Canada cruise this past fall. And we loved it so much that we decided to bring it to our Tacoma peeps!)

Which one is YOUR fave?

And you may recall from a few weeks ago—when we showcased some stunning pictures of the warehouse we said goodbye to—we also gave you a sneak peek at one of the projects they're working on this very minute! 'Member? Those stunning Sizzix boxes made with Graphic 45's Le Romantique?? Well here's the tags that go with 'em. Striking, aren't they?

Which one is YOUR fave?

And that's just one of the classes. They'll also be teaching the techniques used to make these fun cards:

And of course, Stacy Julian is there also! Here's the cute postcards that she's instructing in her class:

Isn't it all so wonderful? We'll be sure to hook you up with some awesome footage of these fun events once they're through.

Where will the bus be headed next? Redding, CA! And friends there will get the chance to work on the mini album and fun cards showcased above.

Wanna know when the bus will be headed your way? Take a gander here.

Happy crafting!

We quickly became friends

So... perhaps you've heard about our Bus Tour.

Perhaps you haven't.

But word is spreading quickly, that's for sure.

Well we're gearing up for another excursion in just a few short weeks, this time northwest-ward. We can't wait to mingle with our Spokane peeps!

And remember when we gave a little sneak peek of one of the projects we'd be working on? *at the bottom of the post* And THEN we hinted that someone else was going to be there. Someone else super cool and super knowledgeable on the crafting industry.

Perhaps you've heard. Perhaps you haven't.

So who is it??? This video should really let the cat out of the bag—that is—if you didn't know already. We ran into this certain someone at CHA, and became fast friends. Give it a looksie:

That's right!

We're hosting Stacy Julian, of Big Picture Scrapbooking on March 23rd in Spokane, WA!

And she is just so much fun to be around. Watching the video most likely made that pretty obvious. So if you're anywhere near the area, you do not want to miss this.

Other highlights include classes taught by our very own Lindsey Fillmore and Sandy Cottle, our OMC Creative Director!

You want more info, don't you? Well, just give this a little clicksy: Spokane Tour.

Happy weekend! And happy crafting!

...And...stay tuned for pictures of our AWESOME new warehouse. You won't believe how great this place is.

A glimpse at what we're saying goodbye to

Hmmm...so perhaps that last post was a little precocious. Since then, mother nature decided to dump a whole new load of snow on us here in Utah, spoiling any and all bouts of spring fever. Darn.

Oh well. At least we can still look at those cheerful cards in hopes that Spring will return eventually. And glad to hear that so many of you liked them too!

Well for those of you who did read our post on Wednesday, OR who receive our e-mail ads, then you know we're moving to a new home. (And YOU get to benefit with HUGE savings all weekend! Enter MOVE20 at checkout for 20% off EVERYTHING! How's that for the whole kit and caboodle? Head over to shop now!)

We're hoping that as early as next week we can put down our roots on our new turf. And boy are we excited! It's going to be a castle compared to where we are now. Here's a little glimpse of what we're leaving behind. Feel free to be amazed by the...er...primitiveness of our current dwelling place for the last year or so. Not to mention the fact that everyone steps on everyone's toes since it's been so cramped. It'll be nice to have some breathing room.

These first pictures feature the outside of our warehouse/bungalow, with the little doohickey we use to transport packages from the upstairs to the ground, and vice versa. We've often joked about how much cooler the whole place would look—if it were on a port in Seattle somewhere. Don't you think so too?

Aaaaaaand, the inside. In all its glory.

So needless to say, some partings are easier than others. And wait til you see our new place—it's quite the looker. (Pictures to come soon!) The new abode will be much more accommodating to our needs. Which in turn will help us SERVE YOU BETTER! Hooray for improvements, right?

So before we wish you well for your weekend, we'd just like to show off one of the awesome projects our lucky crafters in Spokane, WA are going to be working on in a few weeks, when our Craft Bus rolls into town. These are Sizzix gift boxes using Graphic 45's awesome new pack Le' Romantique. They'll also be creating adorable matching tags, however we'd rather keep you in suspense about those. And guess who else is going to be there???

Yes yes, exciting things are taking place at OMC.

Happy crafting!

Anyone in need of a sugar rush?

Well we've got one for ya.

Cute cards with Basic Grey's Sugar Rush! These were some fun ones we worked on while out and about on our bus tour. Stay tuned for more bus tour fun in the near future. But for now check these out:

Plus, have you checked out the Basic Grey February card kit, also featuring Sugar Rush? You can make a darling card very much like this one, among others. Give it a try! It comes with all the material and instructions you'll need!

Happy sugar rushing!
