New Product & New Inspiration!

Loads of new and replenished product!

Loads of new Craft & Glitz Microfine Glamour Glitter! If you haven't used this before...you are in for a treat! This glitter works amazingly with either the Be Creative, Scor-Tape or Terrifically Tacky Tapes (all found here). Try using the adhesive sheets with your cricket, sizzix or favourite die cutting tool! Once this glitter has been applied to the adhesive - it does not come off (or shed)!

There is a great selection of colors just waiting for your Christmas or Halloween project. For all you cardmakers out there - this is the one for you!

Speaking of Christmas - loads of new papers and embellishments from Bo Bunny and Lily Bee Designs



Loads of restocked Distress Inks, Tim Holtz Idea-ology, Paper Collections (Fancy Pants & My Mind's Eye), and adhesives! For all you ladies that were at the retreat earlier this month and fell in love with the crazy coil brads from Karen Foster Design! Just a few came in so get them while you can!

Now for the inspiration...

I have been looking for a while now for some different ideas on how to use my 7 Gypsies Library Drawer. I have found a few - some of my favorites over at 7 Gyspies themselves...check it out here.

You can find loads more inspirations and uses for this item here!


Have you thought about Halloween lately? I don't know about you, but I always like to make some cool little goodie bags for some of my favourite kidlets! One of the ladies at the retreat earlier this month made some cool punch art halloween candy covers. To give the proper credit..you can find several of these over at Splitcoast Stampers (that's where Dianne got her inspiration & these are her creations) and this is what I found! If you do a search for "halloween punch art" you will find some fun stuff!


More new and restocked items due in later this week!

A great selection of papers and embellishments from three of the newest lines released from Pink Paislee:October Afternoon's newest release - Seaside. Just waiting for your summer photos.

Webster's Pages has several amazing new paper kits and coordinating ribbons & fibres too! The coordinating fibres, ribbons and such are amazing~
One of the newer companies out there - The Paper Company (TPC) Studio has a release that of course I found interesting... Grandma's Attic ~


I was only able to get my hands on a select few of the papers (6) but I will say they are my favs! There are also coordinating gems and ribbon!

Finally got the rest of the m.i.a. Making Memories "Noel" papers and ribbons - soon I will have bonus packs up too!
Oh, and one thing many of you that were at the retreat will be happy to hear...you remember that flip flop envie mini I did and you all loved the paper...well was able to get more! Yippee - get it before they all go bye bye!

Whirlwind Week!

It has been a whirlwind of a week - and it isn't even done yet! The Tomahawk Ag Society Retreat was a HUGE success! We had so much fun and not very much sleep! Needless to say there was a massive amount of creativity in imagination. Oh, and did I mention some pretty interesting dance moves (you know who you are)!

We even had a few fights over much needed product/tools!
We had a great class where we did a unique Christmas Binder Mini Album that inspired me to create some pretty cool 'spin off' albums...

Note: More detailed pictures and info will be posted next week!

I also have been on yet another kick of mini albums...using envelopes! I created three over the weekend!

The first one is made using four 5 7/8" x 9 5/8" booklet envelopes and 4 #6 coin envelopes and bound it all together with a single sheet of 5 1/2" x 12" coordinating cardstock! Oh, and I added 4 #8 manila shipping tags. This was inspired somewhat by an album created by Laura Denison.

This is a mini envelope one (based on an idea from Bev from Black Ink Paperie). I used 6 4Bar Kraft Envelopes and decorated it using my Tim Holtz Lost & Found Paper Stack, again I will post how to's next week!

Now this is a cool one! Don't look too close as it was created and put together in about 3 hours and I started after midnight on Saturday (which I was functioning on 4 hours sleep by then in the past 48 hours)! This one was made using four 10" x 13" Catalogue envelopes and eight 9 5/8" x 5 7/8" Booklet envelopes! I bound it together using the same format I had been using on most of my envelope albums - but this time I covered it all by using a file folder! Yup, you heard me right...a file folder! I made it for a friends nine year old daughter to put all her school year(s) memorabilia. The paper is from her stash of Close to My Heart (and I think is a discontinued one, sorry). The only things of mine I used were the We R Memory Keepers Extra Large Brads (for binding), Scotch ATG Gun (for putting it all together) and Tim Holtz's Distress Ink Walnut Stain (for inking)!

Oh, and I used the 2 1/4" EK Success Circle punch to make the 'tabs' for the pockets!

This thing flips and flops closed and I already have some new ideas on how to modify and even expand on this one!

I have also made a few changes to the look at the site - tried to make it a bit 'warmer'. Let me know what you think!

Coming next week are loads of new products and of course replenishing some of the more popular items that sold out at the retreat!



Hope you all have a fantastic Turkey Day (and weekend for that matter) - spend it with family, I know I am! I even have a wedding in there too! Yippee!!
