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!!
