New Stock!

Lots of new stock guys! Check out the Cosmo Cricket Halloween page kits. There's only a few, and going quick! We also picked up a few of Jack's World. This line is so cute! Speaking of page kits, there's some great ones from My Minds Eye too.

There's a tonne of new cardstock stickers from Karen Foster. The minigolf stickers are shown here. There's some back to school stickers, halloween, christmas baking, field trip, thanksgiving. Karen Foster is awesome for all the random themes. If you need it, she probably makes it.

Coming soon is some great new Rouge de Garance product! There's two lines coming from them as well as some restock for our Cupidion black and white wedding line. I love the craziness of their papers. Very bright, very fun.

I'm starting to set up a wall of Christmas gift ideas.... think coasters, frames, canvas projects, calendars....... These will start going fast. I always like to make mine a little early so I'm not stressing later.

See you all soon!

More layouts in gallery

Just wanted to let you know that there's a couple more layouts from Trina in the gallery. Look for her gorgeous "Me and My Better Half" page made with Chatterbox's Artsylicious line and "Families are 4Ever" created from a mix of Bo Bunny lines.

Also, how's this format working for you guys? Any questions? Leave me a comment and let me know if you're struggling to work the gallery, if you prefer the big photos etc etc.

Yay! I did it!

It really shouldn't have been that hard, but for some reason it was. After much struggling I've finally figured out how to get our Flickr gallery on the blog. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and you'll see a slideshow of the designer gallery. If you put your mouse over the slideshow, a little icon with four arrows all pointing outwards will show up. Click it and the slideshow will become fullscreen. Enjoy!

I'm working on getting a gallery going for our layouts until our website is up and running. Look back here soon, because this is where I'll post it. The website by the way, should be back up approx. mid September.

Upcoming Classes

Crystal will be teaching "Celebrate" on Thursday August 14th at 7 pm. Don't miss your chance to work on this fun birthday page. This layout would be perfect for beginners, teen scrappers or those looking for an easy night out. And, we've got these cool page talkers from DCWV in stock right now. How neat would it be to record your child singing "Happy Birthday" and put it right on the page? This class is only $20, or $15 for members. Call me today and register.

We haven't set a date for this one, but what a cute class this is going to be! Crystal's going to teach "School Days" in September. The minibook fits perfectly inside the tin. This book was bound with the Bind it All machine.

Butterfly Kisses

Many people have asked us about clear albums and how to use them. Crystal has created this gorgeous Maya Road sheer album and brought it in so I could snap a few photos. She used SEI's Jolie Chocolat line, Prima crystals, and lots of Stickles. The wonderful photos were taken by Jaime Gibb from Pictures by Jaime.

And you could win it by playing in the tournament. So sign up, get some sun and excercise, help a great cause, and maybe win some sweet stuff too. Click here for the registration form
