We Have More!

I have a few new products to blog about so far this week. We have the newest lines from SEI. There are adorable floral papers and bright spring/summer colors from their newest lines like Corinne and Couture. We also have a new exclusive line (could be used for weddings, Easter, Spring, etc.) from We R Memory Keepers. Tres Elegant is full of muted earthtones... beautiful. On the topic of We R, we finally got an order of Sew Easy tools in! The good news: there were a couple tools left, as well as piercing mats and tons of floss. The bad news: All of the heads have already been spoken for (before they even hit the shelf). But don't worry - we've had more on order, and should be getting them in soon.

We also got a box from Melissa Frances. Her new papers and embellishments have arrived. She even released a set of broaches, which you could really use on anything, that are just gorgeous - cameos and bling! Let's see... what else? Today we received the new QuicKutz dies! Theron, our rep, was out last week and shared the new dies, as well as some letterpress techniques. Those who requested dies will be getting phone calls soon if you're product was already on pre-order. We should be receiving the rest soon.

Last, but certainly not least, we now have Pink Paislee! This is a hot one, ladies! There are papers and embellishments from Daily Junque, Soiree, Hometown Summer and Butterfly Garden. The girls were still working on putting it in the computer when I left this afternoon. It should be out by tomorrow for you to enjoy!

Mini Memories

I have always loved mini albums. They're a perfect way to highlight one small memory; a trip, a birthday, a day in your life. And they're not nearly as taxing as scrapbooking your entire family history. So, when I saw the new, adorable mini albums from the My Minds Eye Lush line, I had to give one a try. There are four new colors: orange (my personal favorite!), hot pink, turquoise and navy blue. Their colors are rich and vibrant. And, of course, MME has made tons of coordinating accessories: paper, brads, gems, ribbon, and even a journaling pad compliment the Lush line. So I scooped up some pictures from a recent trip to San Antonio with my daughter Tess, added a few word stickers from KI Memories and some terrific Sassafras chipboard flowers, and I was off! In just one evening, I was able to complete an entire 10-page 8"x8" mini album commemorating our trip. If you need a little gift or just want to emphasize one special occasion, give these terrific mini albums a try. In no time at all, you'll be able to create your own luscious, mini masterpiece.

New from Bazzill

We know Bazzill for their high quality solid cardstock. But they've always tried new products, and we just received our order of new releases. We now have black board in four different sizes. I've never seen chipboard so thick! It's about double the thickness of one thick chipboard sheet. These would be great for book covers.

There's also an assortment of embellishments, like new flowers and metal keys - so cool! Plus, I can't forget the Splat Mat, Sr. Yes, this 25"x15" mat is heat-resistant, thicker than previous mats, and offers a whole lot more workspace coverage!

Glitz it Up!

We have so many boxes in the foyer at the store it seems to be taking over. The UPS driver even told us if we get any more boxes, he's going to start stacking them outside! He was kidding, of course, so don't get any ideas! :) There are tons of new products to be put in the computer still, so I'll update you on what we've already complted.

Glitz is here! I absolutely love all three of the new lines. There are papers, stickers and embellishments for each. Afternoon Muse, Laced with Grace and Love Games are three remarkable lines, especially for those who like the vintage look.

We also have new stamps and embossing powder sets from Stampendous! Their new Jumbo Cling sets are amazing (Cindy already bought one for herself as she was putting them out). There's a new jumbo (thin) stamp block that they fit on perfectly.

Warm memories on a cold day!

I can't believe its been almost 2 months since CHA - which also means 2 months since I felt the nice warm sun! We did get a little peek at some spring weather this weekend - and now I can't wait any longer!!! Come on spring :)

Since we don't have any sun here today I thought I would share some sunny layouts! All of the pictures from our first day in California for CHA.


This Echo Park - For the Record paper is super versatile! The colors are bright and fun. Mixed with the black and red the yellow really pops. I know all of the design team girls have been having a lot of fun with this paper. I actually bought some more this weekend!!!

(sorry for the sideways pic !!!)

When the sun is shining you need a good pair of shades......

Lots of new goodies in this layout. My Minds Eye paper and stamps, Crate Paper border stickers, Maya Road canvas banner!!

Here is a detail shot. Love this banner!!! Its hard to tell but I stamped on the canvas using the new banner stamp set from Hero Arts. Although I am not much of a stamper - I have really gotten into it with all the great stamps this release (and some help from Angela!)

Make sure you check back here on the blog for all the updates as new products keep rolling in. I am surprised at how fast some of my wish list items have been selling out!!!

Thanks for stopping by,

Liz

Oh, there's more!

We received the new dies from Spellbinders, including those designed by Donna Salazar! There are regular dies as well as some new small ones, and Grand Nestabilities!

We also have a new line of state papers that are so versatile. Scrapbook Customs did a great job with these neutral-colored, double-sided papers for every state (and Ontario!). Be sure to check them out if you're working on your travel pages.

7 Gypsies... We have more!

We received a nice box from 7 Gypsies today, and it's full of Apothecary Jars and stickers, tissue paper (wonderful for making your own vintage flowers), tons of tags, book covers, some Camden items and more. I think you'll like what you see!
