New at CHA and soon here!

Have you been scoping out all the new items being releases at CHA? I know I have and put in some pre-orders with my suppliers for loads of new stuff - wanna see?

7 Gypsies never cease to amaze me in their creativity and inspiration! The newest line Avignon has some amazing pieces. The 12x12 papers are in the store now and there is so much more coming in over the next month or so. There is new additions to their stickers, ephemera, displays (trays & stands), binderie....check out the complete release here!

Maya Road...what can one say about them - LOVE THEM!!!! Most of you who know me simply know I LOVE chipboard! Check out their Blog for a complete view of their new products just released!

Needless to say - I have loads of chipboard coming in - mostly coaster books, mini sets and key chains that are just waiting to be altered! If you head over here you can see some great photos and inspiration on what to do with them. I know I can't wait to get my hands on it to play! I also have the new kraft items coming, mists & ink pads (metallic) along with the newest thing...Maya Resist (scroll down a bit in the link to see it in action)!

Now Now Now...little miss jenni - Jenni Bowlin that is! She has some great new embellies that have been pre ordered as well! Can't say as I was a fan of the newest paper - so decided not to bring it in. But the embellies...bingo, buttons, butterflies oh my - pins and tiles for miles and miles! Here is a small sampling...


Tim Holtz! Need I say more????? You simply have to check out his blog to see what is up....you may need to put a bib - I know I should have (hehehe).

There are TWELVE, yes count 'em - 12 new Distress inks (and re-inkers)! Word has it he will release powders and such later in the spring/summer!

Now..onto his Idea-ology line! Lockets, Accoutrements, Memo Pins, Time Pieces, Adornments, Ruler Ribbon (my personal fav), Tissue Tape and yes - PAPER! Finally back into papers! He has three new collections (two which I Luv)! Oh - did I mention a new BOOK! It is called 'A Compendium of Curiosities' simply loaded with 'Tim' ideas using loads of new and old product!

Yes - there is more! Tim Holtz has joined up with Sizzix and created some totally awesome dies and texture folders!

This new line is called Alterations! There is a new machine coming out as well - but not until summer :(... My understating is that this will all work with the Big Shot (and Cuttlebug for the folders).

Oh, and did I mention he has created yet even more?!?!? More of his signature stamps for Stampers Anonymous which I will for sure bring in to add to my ever growing collection. If you have not tried his stamps - you really should! You will NOT be disappointed! I have a great selection in the store now (search Tim Holtz Collection on the site to see what is left)!

Now - onto Basic Grey! Can't say as I was totally impressed with the new papers - but I did love the new Basic Collection line. It comes in Kraft, Manilla and White! The paper packs are loaded with papers (18 sheets - 2 of each nine designs, 12x12). There are also some pretty cool metal embellishments. They are called 'Studs' and will be in the following shapes - Circle, Square, Rivet & Star. They will be available in Nickel, Silver, Antique Brass and Copper! They are also releasing some new Rub-Ons for this line (Black and White) in two designs - Air Mail and Greetings (guessing now you know why I am into this line)!

I will update more to come later - enjoy for now! Happy reading - oh ya - and crafting!!

Just In!

Large shipment just in today and lots of new and replenished goodies!

Little Yellow Bicycles' newest line Generation Z is Extreme fun and high energy set the stage for playing hard. For those with that Zoom through life with passion and attitude. Bold colors, patters and sharp metallic accents will put the wings on fun. A great selection of this line is available now - not this is a limited edition collection....once it is gone - it's gone!

7 Gypsies Avignon 12x12 double sided papers have been released. The rest of the line is not due in for another month (leave it to 7G's - but I still love them). In the words of 7 G's...

"It's hard to say Avignon when you read it in English. The "g" is ignored and there should be a "y" pronounced in there and you don't say the last "n". But it's French and they love extra letters in their words and at the same time, love not to pronounce them. Many French words have a surfeit of sounds available to them that are not apparent when you look at them and then seem to waste whole, perfectly good syllables in a devil may care attitude toward finishing what they've started. Parts of the City of Avignon are like that. In fact there's the famous pont d'Avignon from the children's song that has only 3 wonderfully decorated arches that daintily step out into the middle of the river but do not reach the other side - sort of like the good start but breathy finish of a French word. Avignon."

These papers really are a must see - okay...a must have too!

These Bling It On's from Basic Grey are pretty cool as well! They are a rub on (in either Black or Brown) and have just enough 'bling' to add an amazing zing to your layout! Great price too!

More American Crafts D-Ring Modern Albums are in (sorry just black for now) - will keep trying on the Chestnut ones for you all as well! Also more page protectors to fill them up!

And finally - more and replenished Bazzill Cardstocks! For those of you patiently waiting for the white...yes, it is here too!

Happy Creating...

New Products in stock!

Loads of new Jenni Bowlin is now in stock! You will see a new price for her papers now as well! The cost has gone down of some of the newer papers so I thought I would bring ALL the papers down - NEW and OLD! Now all regular 12x12 printed papers are .70 each (vs the old .85)!

I have also been busy making up some kits with the older JBS lines and marking them down to sell! So if you have yet to be bit by the Jenni Bug...this is your chance to do it!

Core'dinations has also teamed up with JBS and created a cardstock pack that is way cool! Core'dinations Core Impressions (12 x 12) cardstocks allow you to reveal your creativity by sanding and tearing the embossed Core'dinations cardstock based on the most popular Jenni Bowlin Studios patterns. This exclusive collection "core'dinations" with the Jenni Bowlin Studios Vintage Red and Vintage Black lines includes four embossed patterns in five colors. 20 unique sheets total!

Also in is some new and replenished stock of good ol' 7 G's! More goodies for making and altering up your ATC Carousel or Tins along with a couple pieces from the Venice line.American Crafts has this amazing paper line out that I have been trying to get for a while now and I was finally able to get me hands on it - it is called Letterbox and is simply LOADED with fabulous prints, textures and colors! I can't wait to tear into this box and play! I only brought a few in so grab 'em while you can!

And finally, Clearsnap has introduced a couple of 'Finishing Touches' kits that give you all you need to add some glitter and glam to your next project! Very compact and all tucked up in a clear box!

This one shown is Enchantment, the other one is called Sparkle Harvest! Worth the look!

Head over to W2 Scrapbooking and see what else is new!

New Elle's Studio!

I know it must seem strange that this is just in now and Christmas is over...but, hey, don't you need some cool new items to get your creative juices flowing for all those Christmas photos? I know I do!

This just in....colorful cut outs and journaling tags for adding just the right touch to your layout!

How about these cool snowflakes (that I think are just waiting for some additional punch or bang or even pop)! Or maybe as an added bonus to this amazing card kit! Remember though, this kit does not have to be used for cards...perhaps tags, or simply a creative mini book?!And how about these chic vintage tags, journaling cards or flashcards! They are just screaming for some additional altering trick!

There is even more posted on the site now - so why not head over and check it all out! New product will be arriving next week. Don't forget that CHA is coming up fast so there will be loads of new product introduced over the next few months! If there is anything you would like to see here, please let me know!
