Where did the month go???? Good grief...I swear....I was holed up in my studio with gesso and glitter flying everywhere and I lost track of time...*tee hee*....truth be told...my house is always sparkly....and my wonderful Peter has come to accept that this is the normalacy to be expected when you are married to an artist...ahhhh...bless his soul...shhhhhhhh...don't tell him, but many a time I catch a glint of sparkle on him too....rofl....what he doesn't know wont hurt him, right??? *snort*
OH....that brings me to remember what he said the other day....first of all he knows that if he says ANYTHING negative I always tell him he is hindering my creative muse....*hehehehehe*...well, I was creating at the breakfast room table...I create there a lot, because I like to be around my family...and he walks over and he looks at the floor and I could tell he wanted to complain..and he barely eeeked out a couple of words...."Look at this floor.." and he caught himself...I could tell he did a double take...then I said..."ohhhh....yeah..." and he said..."its really sparkly...it looks awesome"....LOLOLOL...ok..come on girlies...we know darn well he DID NOT mean that!!! But seriously...it did look cool...imagine...Maple Wood floors with a sprinkling of gold glitter...OMG!!! HOLD ON....have to call Bruce Wood Floors...they might take me up on this idea...lol...Anyway...moral of the story...my family??? They are wonderful and they love and support this crazy artist. LOve you guys!!!! And thanks for embracing a sparkly house!
So...do you have gobs of art stuff all over your house too??? I wanna hear your stories too! *wink wink*
OH WOW.....I kind of went off on a tangent there...lol...its the Diet Coke....I will not take responsibility....nope....I have been hi-jacked....lol.....gosh forbid you ever meet me in person.....hehehheheh
So...just what the heck does Bad Girls have going on? Well.....we are in the midst of shipping off all of our kits...I am running a couple days behind due to the weekend and my son had hockey games Fri, Sat, Sun...whew! My kids keep me busy lately with sports!...
July's kits are nothing short of AMAZING!!! Take a peek at the feature kit....
"KENSINGTON COTTAGE"
And our Art Kits for the month:
"Ne M'oubliez Pas"
"Rose Petal Path"
"Vagabond"
The Feature Kit is on WAITLIST status. If you would like to join our AUTO SHIP program, you will then be shipped the Feature Kit each and every month without the worry of the kits selling out. To join our waitlist, please send an email with "WAITLIST" in the subject line to: info@badgirlskits.com
Hmmm....what next???We also have a couple of really AMAZING CLASSES that you are not going to want to miss....
And first I want to explain a little about my goal with BAD GIRLS CLASSES...these classes are really meant to take learning on-line to a whole new level. The quality is nothing short of amazing and these classes will always be put together with the utmost of attention to detail. The teachers who teach are truly experts in their fields and highly educated in what they teach. I am sure once you experience a BAD GIRL CLASS you will agree that we have indeed set the bar very high. Our main goal is to bring the learning experience to you in the comfort of your own home with plenty of time to access the classroom and study at your own pace. I thought about how many of us would like to actually go to school to learn some of these artistic techniques, but with hectic schedules and busy work and family lives, we come up short of ever being able to go back to school...so why not learn from the education that we have studied for years??? Ahhhh.....I really liked that idea....So...please know that when you enter in our CLASSROOMS you will have a very high quality learning experience! I hope to see you in our classrooms soon! By the way...all classes do indeed have a start and finish date where the teacher is present in "real time", but there after the classroom stays up for a month for your full access 24/7. Even after the class is over the teacher will still check in to answer all of your questions!
Jeni Boisvert is going to be teaching you how to create for less with all the bits and pieces you have around your scraproom...she is going to take felt to a whole NEW LEVEL....so...you wanna be able to create some goodies for Halloween and Christmas...and of course your everyday lovelies too??? THis is the class for you!!!! Make sure you SIGN UP NOW...this class starts TODAY!!!! You KNOW you want to learn all about SWAYNK!!!
We also have Jennifer Matott teaching a very cool class on altering you photos in very unique, funky, and amazing ways!!!!! So, if you have ever looked at those really cool photos that look all grungy and crackled and uber kewl...you don't want to miss her NEW CLASS that teaches how to get these looks with ease! And I certainly want to reiterate that you will be learning LOTS of techniques in "LIFE ENHANCED"...so come prepared to learn a whole lot!
OH GOSH....Guess what this month is??? Yep! It's BAD GIRLS 2nd BIRTHDAY!!!! Please stay tuned to the Message Board for more info about what we are going to be doing to celebrate this oh.so.joyous occasion....but I have to let you know that all orders placed during the month of July will recieve our Limited Edition BAD GIRL PRINCESS PARTY FAVOR filled with sweet treats!
And I have to share one more special treat...BAD GIRLS is in the midst of launching our own line of Vintage Stick Pins.....these are in addition to our first "PRINCESS" release which was a huge hit thanks to all of our BAD GIRLS!!!!....So...take a look at our new lines....
"PARISIAN BOUTIQUE" and "VENETIAN FANTASY":
Due to the Vintage elements used these are released in a very small edition. First come, first served! Look for new releases soon, including our Halloween line!!!
Please make sure you visit us in "THE PARLOUR" and please join us for our"BLEUPRINT CHALLENGE"....and our "TOTE BAG CHALLENGE"!!!

Wow Wendy!!! There is so much going on this month!!! First I have to say that the kits for July are gorgeous (as always). Secondly I should tell you that my whole apartment has been taken over by glitter, gesso, glimmermist, and paper scraps! No matter how much I vacuum, there is still glitter. My coffee table has turned into it's own piece of art really with paint and gesso all over it. My cats are even sparkly sometimes... it's quite funny!!

This month's kits are gorgeous! Bummed I wasn't around to snatch one up.
I KWYM about the messy house. I'm a single girl, with an apartment that's being overrun by art projects! The kitchen table is a drying station for my drying projects. The coffee table and my scrap table in the living room are covered! And glitter? Even the cat glitters at me from time to time!

Happy, Happy Birthday Wendy and Bad Girls!! Time sure is flying! I miss my sub and I keep missing out on picking up an leftovers here or there :-( But, I'm bad enough to keep trying! Congrats on being the best kit club out there :-)

happy birthday bad girls!!!!
Now that you are 2 are you turning bad to terrible? lol
Those kits are just divine Wendy I totally agree with you.
My creative stories are not as good as yours. But I to have a very supportive hubby. He gives me scrap supplies instead of flowers. How cool is that?

Happy Happy Birthday Bad Girls!!

I am loving the new kits...such treasures..I feel like its my birthday everytime I get mine!! And as for glitter..my motto is..A girl can never be too sparkly!!!

Wow! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE those new stick pins! They are just AWESOME!!!! I can't wait for my new kit to arrive--though I am still working on my envelope album from last month! Love all those beautiful goodies :0)

Happy Birthday! Bad Girls!!! The kits are beautiful as usual and the new classes look fabulous!
Posted by: DaniseTx | July 15, 2009 at 06:57 AM
I get my art supplies all over the place too! When I get motoring, I take over my scrap area, the kitchen table, the kitchen counters, the floor and sometimes my room or the living room too. And don't even get me started on glitter! I don't use it often, but when I do, everything sparkles for months! I love it when my hubby comes home and I spot traces of glitter he had no idea he was sporting at work.
And happy birthday, Bad Girls! Here's to many, many more!

The Cinderella coaches are so amazing :) As of course are the kits :)
Posted by: Katie Squires | July 15, 2009 at 10:28 AM
Well, of course Happy Birthday but I'm sure there's still much partying to do later! And Wendy, I really do think you're on to something with the gold and the flooring, seriously! I would have enfused wood floors. The next thing I want to say is that the CLASSES DO ROCK! I've only taken Jeni's but I have absolutely nothing but accolades for her, she's awesome and so professional and answers you in a heartbeat...I think she spends her life in front of her computer just like me. Her Photoshop class is really valuable, I hope she'll do more. If you look anywhere else, classes like that would cost $100's.
Now, you asked my scrap room/space. Well, I am doing something that Jeni actually suggested-- a scrap garage sale!!! I will be doing it in a few weeks b/c I just have too much stuff. I'm going to start a post on the Boards about it, but don't you think that's the greatest idea. I think we should all do one (those of us with way toooooo much ) and report how it goes. I"ve got to make room for more inventory and I can't bear to just pack it up -- SOMEONE out there will really get good use of the stuff. I think for everything I don't sell...well, I'll keep it to the boards...but I'm thinking charity.
Love you Wendy....as always, you da bomb!

Happy Birthday, Bad Girls!!!! I can't wait to see what's next!

Happy Birthday Bad Girls! I am so thankful I found you guys! :-)
Loving the new kits, haven't been able to use much of the "old" kits so I better use them first, lol, but the project from June looks so yummy everyone is posting, I can't wait!
I think I am also gonna have a scrap-garage sale, that is if I can talk anyone around here into helping me a little. I sure could use the money and space! Money for more BG stuff!
