Warning!

This may be a long one...lots to share.

First new products in store...
Mimi collection totes - these are so stylish and practical...I have my eye on one to organise my favourite stamps into - perfect for taking cropping. Here is a pic I took of the Urban Stamp Tote open:

Check out all that storage! There is also a tool tote...

Scrap Tote
And scrapbook tote

There is a restock of all the Crafter's workshop doodle templates plus some new ones, with gorgeous names like "Regal Flourish" "Scallop Swirls" and "Swirly Vines". Ask them to show you when you are next in the store Wendy's canvases where she has put texture paste through them.

My personal favourite? That would have to be the Doodleflower:


For the beginning scrappers out there and those wishing to get pages "Finished in a Flash" there are new products in store from Hot off the Press called just that. They include everything you need to create a birthday page, page about your favourite girl, your dog etc. Each has 12 coordinating 12" x 12" papers, plus cardstock die-cuts, Brad Buddies, 36" of 3 different ribbons, mini round brads, standard round brads and fun shaped brads. Everything you need in one place. Here's the dog one...how cute is it?

And for card makers, also from HOTP are booklets of cardstock weight stickers for your cards entitled "Instant Card Art" and coordinating embellishment kits "Creative Kits". The instant card art booklets contain 148 diecuts with several card themes and come in different colourways. Check out the Citrus one:

And here is the matching Citrus creative kit:


Yummy colours eh?!

And exciting news! Basic Grey Infuse has arrived...BG can describe it so much better than me "Custom brewed from only the finest ingredients, the infuse collection is saturated in a full-bodied colour blend of garden green, hibiscus pink and coffee bean brown" it really is delicious!


Also in stock from BG is the file set which is perfect for getting into all those little nooks and crannies when you are covering chipboard and want to sand the edges, and also perfect for distressing.

And magnetic snaps and buckles. The buckles are fantastic threaded onto ribbon ends and used to keep mini albums closed. The snaps are thin as cardstock, but surprisingly stong, and are a perfect closure for cards, journaling pieces in albums and so much more!



Phew! getting there loyal readers lol! Hmmm what other delights? How about the Woodstock Black and White collection. Now these are very cool transparent elements for your pages, tags, slide mounts and CD envelopes with various themed words on them. And there are some gorgeous samples in store of how to use them.

Now I have to share with you something I have purchased lately that is so cool and I so love...and that is the range of new xyron adhesives. There are glue spots - large and small, and there is mounting tape, repositionable and permanent tape that is great to use for vellum or transparencies, magnetic tape, photo corners and photo splits and best of all they come in really funky looking coloured containers that clip together, so you can just pick up the lot when you need them. Here check out my personal stash lol!
They just make me happy looking at them, never mind using them ;O)And I must also give a thumbs up to the xyron adhesive eraser...have you got this essential item yet? Not only does it rub away those annoying little sticky bits of glue you get sometimes but they can also rub away rub ons that you have accidentally stuck down in the wrong place! Now you gotta love that!
Now on to other news, Megans' Layout of the Month Class is on Thursday night and not only do you get to create a layout, but a card too. This layout looks awesome and you get to use some exciting new product - very cool!Plus Faye and Megan are having another fun crop all day on Saturday (10am-10pm) and you get to make a card and a project. I'm going to pop my head in and check it out because a little bird tells me these crops are great fun!


Well that is all for now and if you are still with me you have amazing stamina lol!
More soon, Jo :O)
