A few more new products

I'm finally playing catch-up from some arrivals that missed the blog. We have October Afternoon's new line, Schoolhouse. For those who love the last school line (there were a ton of you), this one's just as good. A little vintage goes a long way!

We are now a Studio AE exclusive store! This is a new program from Technique Tuesday and Ali Edwards. Each month, we'll be carrying a new Studio AE stamp set featuring Ali's designs. The two we have so far are very cool! But they are available in limited quantities, so get yours while they're in!

There's a new machine on the block!

We're so excited about this new machine... We've been waiting paitently for it ever since it was revealed at CHA. The new Spellbinders Grand Calibur is in stock!

The Grand Calibur accepts 8.5"x11"paper without trimming, as well as cuts or embosses up to 8.125" wide. Cut or emboss multiple shapes in a single pass*. It's Compatible with Sizzlets, Cuttlebug and QuicKutz dies as well as Cuttlebug embossing folders and Fiskars texture plates.

Grand Nestabilities are designed for use in the Grand Calibur Machine. Cut, emboss and stencil perfect shapes that mix and match with regular Nestabilities. Grand Nestabilities increase in size from the original sets and maintain the same increments between die templates of 1/2", which becomes a 1/4" border when layering.

Imagine... now a machine that can cut shapes small enough for cards, and large enough for your pages and other projects, cutting and embossing! And from personally trying it at the trade show, we know how well it grips to your work surface so it doesn't slip while you're working. We love it!

Note: As of 11/1/10, these are now out of stock with the manufacturer until December. If you're thinking of getting it, we only have a couple in stock right now.

*In each pass, you can either cut multiple shapes or emboss multiple shapes. Requires rubber mat to emboss.

New Basic Grey Dies from Sizzix!

I'm so excited to see that Sizzix has partnered with other companies like Basic Grey to come up with some amazing new dies. We have a whole series of holiday dies designed by the crew at Basic Grey - all adorable! They come in large and small and large sizes - something for everyone.

More Tim Holtz Dies and Folders are Here!

If I haven't already mentioned it on here, we finally received the winter Tim Holtz Sizzix dies and embossing folders. They are amazing! The embossing folders are in 2-packs, and are only $10.99 - imagine what you could do with these! I noticed they also match some of Tim's new stamps.

A Peek at What's New...

We are still getting tons of new products, like the American Girl Craft line. This is a super-fun line of girls' scrapbooking products including stickers, albums, projects and more!

We also have what I think might be my favorite winter line... the new Merry January collection from We R Memory Keepers! The colors on this are just gorgeous - soft blues and browns. Plus, there is a fun little snowman throughout the collection who reminds me of Frosty from the old movie!

Breast Cancer Awareness Bracelet Class offered again...

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Make a gorgeous awareness bracelet using Swarovski crystals, Cat's Eye beads, sterling silver components and a ribbon charm. Help raise awareness and learn basic jewelry beading techniques with Denise Socia, a radiation therapist who helps women fight breast cancer on a daily basis.

This class will be offered again on Satuday 10/30 at noon. The $35 fee includes all materials to make the bracelet. Some basic tools are needed, but the store also has some to borrow. Call to reserve your spot!

What's New?

I think I forgot to blog about the new Cricut cartridges! We have Nifty Fifties (so cute!), Birthday Bash, as well as the new Seasonals (Christmas Village, Christmas Cards and Thanksgiving).

We just received the newest from Glitz yesterday, and this is like no Glitz you've seen before! They are vintage, they are cool, they are amazing papers and embellishments we know you'll love!

For those who are into Copics, I hear that One Sheet Wonder is a great paper match for your markers! We are now able to get this cardstock in 25-sheet packs.

We just got some more of our Maya Road order from CHA. There are some cute products in there that were previously backordered. There's a new trimmer in town... Making Memories released their Precision Paper Trimmer (the one I use) in pink! This thing is so cool... all of the power of a self-sharpening, magnetic, full-size cutting board in a cute package!

As always, we've added some new albums to the album wall. Look for some updates in that section this weekend. There are several new publications just in from Somerset... beautiful! We also have the new personal photo printer in stock from Epson, the PictureMate Show (love it).

We just got in a bunch of new papers and embellishments from Jenni Bowlin as well. There is a line extension to her Red & Black line, which is very vintage. There are also a bunch of new embellishments - we all love these!
