Lawn Fawn Stamps

We've had a few requests for Lawn Fawn stamps, so we've brought them into the store.  The order just arrived today, and I already saw Angela and Katie digging through it to pick out their favorites!  They really are adorable, and they should be on the shelf by tomorrow.

We R Loaded Up with Albums

I made a large purchase of albums while we were at CHA, and I'm very excited the order is here.  I ordered one of every 12x12 and 8.5x11 album (and refills) that We R Memory Keepers makes!  That includes post-bound and D-ring.  We plan on setting up an eye-catching display once we get them all in the computer, and it's going to be quite a selection.  We can't wait to share it with you.

They're not just for cards anymore...

Have you noticed all the fabulous little 6"x6" paper packs in the store lately? Nearly every manufacturer is making them. The packs were created for cardmakers, but have you tried them for scrapbooking? They're terrific; they offer such variety - up to 24 different patterns in a pack! That inspired me to start thinking... How many pages could I design from just one of these packs? Well, I easily got four (4!) 12"x12" pages out of one. I even made all the embellishments from the same pack! If you'd like to try your hand at using a 6"x6" paper pack, join me for a class on Wednessday March 28 from 6-9pm. In three hours, we'll create four 12"x12" pages for just $24. And, best of all, you get to choose the paper pack you like best! When you register for the class, select one of the My Mind's Eye 6"x6" paper packs (24 double sided pages). I'll pull the coordinating cardstock and get you started. It's so easy you'll want to keep going (and to help you, I'll give you a bunch of other quick, simple page plans to use for future pages). Hope to see you in class soon!

What's New This Week?!


Well, to start with, the foyer is FULL of boxes just from today alone.  We have yet to get through a few of them, so be patient (although we're having a hard time with that one).  We have new stamps from Hero Arts... so cool!  There are new papers from Canvas Corp (I like the coffee papers).  We also have new papers from Creative Imaginations - think Raggedy Ann & Andy (now that's old school).  We also have a couple new lines from Ruby Rock-It that we love - One is Nostalgia, the other is Vintedge (but England-themed).
Once we get through the boxes (I know much of it is new from We R Memory Keepers) we'll blog again.  Until then...

It Does Exist!

We've been waiting for Sasparilla from October Afternoon for some time now, and it's finally arrived!  Sasparilla is an adorable western-themed lined from one of our favorite brands.  Give us a little time to get it in the computer, and it should be out by tomorrow!

American Crafts and More

Did you know American Crafts now owns not only Pebbles, but also Crate Paper and Studio Calico? This crafting giant sent us our first order from CHA. It includes the newest Dear Lizzy line, Neopolitan. We also have Country Picnic by Pebbles. There's also an American Crafts line called Gardenia that arrived with the others, not to mention tons of new Thickers to coordinate with all of them!

We received a shipment from Little Yellow Bicycle, containing two new lines. Paradise is a great mix of colors in papers and embellishments. Saturdays is a collection dedicated to denim - I love it! There are great coordinating colors, and can be used for masculine or feminine layouts.

New From My Mind's Eye




Many of you have asked, "Where's the new My Mind's Eye?" Ladies - it's finaly here! The girls are working tonight on getting it in the computer (these orders always take a while because there are so many cool things that go with it). Talk about gorgeous... My favorite is Follow Your Heart. There's also Miss Caroline and On the Bright Side (great basics). Look for these papers on the shelf this week!
