Teddy Bo Tuesday

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Goooooooood Morning...........I hope you're well this beautiful Spring morning?!?!  Does it look like Spring outside your window?!?!  Yes?!?  No?!?!  Well, we're very fortunate and have a gorgeous sunny (but cold) day here in Scotland.....so I hope you're having the same kind of weather (actually, maybe a bit warmer would be better) wherever you are in the world.

I can't quite believe it's March already......here we go chasing another year away!!  But the great thing about March is that the weather changes for the better and people are happier.  We've also got Easter and Mother's Day (UK and some European countires) so we've got some fabulous cards to show off this month's new releases.

SO...what's NEW this week

And of course.....with new graphics come gorgeous cards....x

I have used an old scrapbook kit for the papers and embellishments along wth a doily cut on the silhouette.

I have, of course,  added glitter to her wings and star.

Fairytale Friday and Teddy Bo Threads

Yeh...we're open!! (Kind of)
Slowly adding things to the store.....which of course means you have to keep coming back to see what new things we've got!!www.teddybothreads.com

There's also 25% off for the first week!!!  Woooohoooo!!!!

With Teddy Bo Threads opening today, this last week has been crazy in Teddy Bo Towers.

First up came the t-shirt designs. The girls, beautiful women one and all, decided that it would be up to them to model the new designs, as they all wanted to get their faces on the website (and to update their CV’s and Facebook pages with their modelling contract !!). There was a lovely t-shirt with Teddy Bo’s face on it, but the problem was that it’s a tight fitting t-shirt, and because Gayle tried it on first, it left two big 'boobie' imprints in the t-shirt, and no matter how much stretching and ironing, those marks couldn’t be removed.

The girls tried to draw straws to see who would be the model. When everyone disagreed with the results (except the winner), they tried dice, then Jenga, then finally when the fists were about to start flying, Gayle suggested a compromise. They’d buy a shop mannequin, and Glenda’s the mannequin you’ll see on our clothing webpage. Not sure if she’s set herself up with her own Facebook page yet or not.

 Claire had discovered Gayle's secret stash of rhinestones. She found a big tub of glue, and a plain t-shirt and went at it. She spent hours and hours individually sticking down rhinestones, not realising that everyone else had finished for the evening, but the little light there was, reflected of her t-shirt and made her little work area it feel like a sunny morning. In fact by the time she finished, bleary eyed and hungry, the t-shirt was covered in little rhinestones. At Gayle's suggestion, it was wrapped around a football, and will be used as a glitterball at the next design team party.

Next on the agreed product range came the new line of mugs. The girls spent all Wednesday furiously making design after design, trying to perfect the end product. Donna designed a lovely Teddy Bo footballer mug, but then Wendy decided she could do better, and added goals and a couple of players in the background. Then Colette added some advertising boards and a referee. Gayle had to step in when Lau started to add a 50,000 crowd into the background. Gayle was very worried that there’d be no rhinestones left if she carried on.

 In the end , they settled on some simpler designs, and these can be found on the Teddy Bo Threads webpage. Please let us know what you think about these new products.

 Goodness knows how the girls managed to get any cards made this week.......but they're just SO good they pulled it out of the bag again...xxxxx
