Tim Holtz, Heidi Swapp & Cropper Hopper are Here!

They all decided to join us... The new Tim Holtz mini masks, metal hardware and stickers are in! The new Grungepaper was here, but only briefly (it was gone the first day - I've already reordered more). Heidi Swapp brings us new Invisibles paper, chipboard and alpha stickers - you'll have to check out the sample I made - the possibilities are endless with this stuff! We also have her new Mega Masks (great for large scale projects like 12x12 pages). Cropper Hopper came out with some great ideas this time around! Their new storage racks are perfect for paint dabbers, acrylic paints, stamp ink pads and more.

Wow, even more new stuff today!

We had quite a few deliveries today - so much so that we're getting to know our FedEx and UPS drivers well! We received about 6 boxes from Die Cuts with a View. We got a few new styles of Stacks, but what I really love is their new open stock papers - so whimsy! There's a Green line that's all about the outdoors (even one with an adorable skunk). There are a ton of kitchen and baking papers - even with glitter - that are adorable as well.

There's also a box from Queen & Co., which means we have new felt borders (I haven't seen them since the show in January, and they were so fun)! We have new specialty papers from Paper Company, as well as new theme papers from Paper Adventures (beach, birthday, graduation and more).

I really love the new Que Sera Sera line from K & Co., which just arrived today as well. If you liked the Mira line from Brenda Walton, you will not be disappointed with this new one. This should all be out before the weekend!

Cricut Create is now in stock

We have the Cricut Create Machines in stock, as well as the new Sports Mania cartridge. There are several new colors of vinyl available as well. The Cricut Create has many of the features the larger Expression machine has, but is the size of the original Cricut. The price of the Create is $229.99, but Cricut Club members can purchase the machine for $219.99.

Roger, Ranger!

Yes, new Ranger products have arrived! We have all of the Claudine Hellmuth Studio paints, Gesso and more. We also have the full line of colors in Ultra Thick Embossing Powder. Add to that ALL of the new Ranger Alcohol Inks (lights and brights) and you've got an amazing selection! We also added the melt art line from Suze Weinberg for you adventurous crafters! Unfortunately, the blending pens didn't come in yet (we're patiently waiting), but we'll let you know when those arrive.

Photos from the Overnighter

I now have photos for you to see who made it through the wee hours of the morning at the Overnight Crop! Our two 5:30am prize winners each left with a tote!

I especially like how Marrisa included the clock in the 6am photo. Way to go girls!

New Making Memories

We received a few things from Making Memories today, including the new Wedding Design Card for the Slice, the new Storage Shelf (beautiful) and Wooden Desktop Organizer.

Overnight Crop was a hit!

Ok, here are the stats from this Saturday's Overnight Crop!

Croppers on board: 45
Prizes given away: 15 (5:30am prizes were worth up to $30 each)
Pounds of meat Chris made for midnight nachos: 5 (could've made more)
Croppers left after 2am: 31 (I left shortly after that)
Croppers who stuck it out until the 5:30am drawing: 15
Die-hard croppers who closed up shop at 6am: 5

We were ready with a camera in case someone fell asleep at the crop, but it didn't happen. Marrisa took some photos later in the morning, but hasn't emailed them to me yet (she deserved to sleep in VERY late today along with the rest of you who stuck it out). As soon as I have pictures, I'll post them here and/or on our website. Hopefully everyone made it home safely and accomplished a lot at the end of this gruelling 14-hour overnighter! You'll have to let me know if you'd like to see another one of these on our calendar.
