Today we have some photos to share 

with you of the Ranger booth and Cricut

booths at the show.  There was so much

creativity in these 2 booths and so much

fun doing the demos and learning lots of 

fun things to do with the products they sell!

 Life around the Ranger Booth was

as busy as ever and as you can see Tim Holtz

is always happy and willing to pose for

a picture!!  Sooo cute don't you think?

 There are lots of new colors in the 

distress inks and paints.  It's going to 

be really fun!

We loved all the tags they had up

on display and the beautiful inking

techniques they used on each of them.

Ranger is releasing new markers that

work like the regular pads and you can

even use paint brushes with them!  

Sounds really fun to use don't you think?

and 

Next up is the Cricut Booth...

 There is so many things you can do with the cartridges

and the possibilites are really endless..  Here is a room

they did like Michelle's idea to decorate.

 This page was just beautiful and we just wanted

to share how well the designs mix and what you 

can create by putting them together..

 You can even make paper lanterns for your next party!

Here are lots of party ideas that you can do.  Be sure 

and click on the photo so that you can see the ideas

better... We will have lots of samples in our 

Cricut corner coming up and if you ever have any 

questions be sure and ask us or make an appointment 

with Tee or Michelle for expert advise!

Thanks for taking the time to be inspired with

us this week and we will keep you posted on all 

the new things coming in the store this season!

Have a great week and
Happy Valentines to all of you!!

Teresa Collins and Carolees

We loved being in the Teresa Collins booth

and she had lots of gorgeous things as

always to share with us... Gorgeous papers

and even a mini book kit of the month that

we bought for the store...

 We even got Marilyn to pose with 

Teresa Collins---  So very cute don't you think!

 We bought 2 collections from

her filled with lots of adorable prints

and embellishments..

 Our favorite buy from her is her mini book 

kit of the month.. Each month we are offering

a different book like the one above for only $20.

Space on these is very limited because they 

sold out really fast.  So be sure and call to get

your place saved for this.  Both Tee and Teresa

will be teaching these the 3rd week of each month.

Here are some cute pages she had in her booth

that we just had to share with you!!

 We are squeezing in these fun shots from the 

Petaloo flower booth.  We have lots of flowers

from them coming our way and wanted to 

share their designs with you so you could 

love it right along with us... Very cute.. Yes?

Carolee's has always been a leader in crafting and

she started with Tole painting and fabrics and is 

bringing some of it back this season for everyone.

This season she has
 beautiful papers for Mother's Day, Gardening

family, Race cars and a pretty spring floral print too.

We hope you liked all the new things we shared 

and we have 1 more day tomorrow to show

you some fun things from Tim Holtz and the

Cricut Booth for all you Cricut Fans... 

See you then... and hope you create

something fun today!

Canvas Corp and 7 gypsies day...

It's day 4 of our fun preview of new things to come in

the store and today we have products to share

from Canvas Corp, 7 gypsies and Maya Road.

All these companies have some very fun products

to make to decorate your home and really get 

creative with.  We loved their booths and we're 

very inspired by what they had to offer, we hope

that you will be too!!

There were lots and lots of banners everywhere this

time at the show... On walls, on pages, on projects, 

and for parties.  Canvas corp even had ideas

to use their burlap pieces for decorating...

 This was one of the busiest booths at the show 

and they had lots of canvas products that they decorated

with decorative paper, chalkboard paper and everything

under the sun to hang on a wall...

 We thought this was a great idea using just 

small canvas frames and putting them

together in a collage type style with photos!

These banners and mantle frames are new from

 7 gypsies.  You have to see them in person because they are

really cute!!  

 Here are some great examples of the 7 gypsies frames

to make up to decorate with..

 7 gypsies has a  real vintage style and they always

have lots of goodies to decorate projects with...

We thought this page was super cute because

they put photos on the tags and created a page 

with them and hung it from a string... very cute!!

 For all you Maya Roadies out there

we have some really cute things

coming in from them to create with.

Our favorites are these acrylic and

chipboard stands that you can create 

books with, calendars or even scrap

a favorite family event on... 

 We thought this was pretty neat.. They used

chipboard, papers, buttons and all kinds of 

Maya road product to make this decorative

banner for a wall.  I could see some cute 

pictures of kids and maybe use old scraps

of their clothes and buttons to create a fun

treasure to hang up somewhere!! What do you think?

 They have lots of chipboard pieces to put on things which

is the total rage now...  These look great on the canvas

boards and chipboard too!

We loved the details on this banner and thought we

we share the idea with you too... We loved the lace

around the edges and the way they used the flowers. 

Well that is all for today and hope you got more inspired

like we did... the products are coming in soon and we

will send out an email to let you know.  Be sure

and check back tomorrow for Sneak Peaks of 

Teresa Collins and Carolees New Products...

Until Then.....

Day 3 with Imaginesce and Clear Scraps

  

Here it is day 3 of our posts and I hope that you have seen

lots of great things so far to inspire you and maybe

find a few new things to start up as a hobby this year...

Today we are going to give you a couple glimpses

of Imaginesce products, Clear Scraps and Crate Paper.

 We bought 2 adorable Collections from

Imaginesce this time.. One is called Makin Waves

and you can see all the new papers by clicking on the 

words above.  The papers are bright and springy and

have lots of cute images on them.  This should be in

the store by the first of March.. and we also bought

another line called Hello Cupcake that is perfect

for Birthday celebrations!!

They still have lots of great New tools

like the I Rock and we bought this

New Cordless Glue Gun (takes batteries) and the 

Brand New Ribbon cutter that works

fantastic for cutting ribbons and not letting

them fray anymore.  You are going to love these

and if you are interested please call the store to

save one so that we can have enough of these

beauties on hand for all of you!!

If you like working with Acrylic, clear scraps has

some fantastic new products this year for us.  They have

lots of mantle frames and mini books and even

these fun letters like you see in the frame above

that you can use alchohol inks on and decorate!  

They also have acrylic cards and banners too!

Next up is a few things we saw from Crate Paper

that we loved.  They have 3 lines we are

thinking about called Sasparilla, 9-5 and 

Woodland Park.  They have lots of great

embellishments for each line like you can see

below and these cute little mini books

so that you can scrap fun adventures and

not have to make an entire book for them!

 This cowboy themed line is very cute!

 Here are a few pages from their Designers...

And last but not least today is a few cards

for all your card ladies out there.  We did

the Good Job on the top left for our make and 

take and it was really fun to do!  

Well that is all for today but be sure and check

back again tomorrow for Teresa Collins and

our New Mini Book Kit Class and sneak peeks

of Canvas Corp and 7 gypsies!

and one more thing....

We just got in New Birthday and Spring
