It’s going to be an exciting month at the store, and we look forward to seeing you!

Sampling of New Products!

Okay, we have been working the poor delivery man overtime these last few weeks. :) We have lots of wonderful new items in the store that we just know you are going to love. Some of these items are already flying off the shelves, so come by soon for the best selection.

All of the photos in this listing can be clicked on to see a large view.

First on the list of goodies are some wonderful new chipboard and jelly letters from Chip Chatter. We have a variety of colors/sizes in stock.

Next, we have some really cute pet papers and embellishments from Cloud 9. Both the cat and dog line have two papers that are similar to diamond dust. They have what looks like glitter embedded in clear embossing powder on the page... very neat!

Creative Cards are an excellent way to title a page, or to use as a journaling block. Each deck comes with a wide variety of themes and sayings on each card. There is a larger deck (around 4x6) and a smaller deck just slightly smaller than an average deck of cards. Take a peek at all of the different cards included in each box:

Next on the list are some adorable new lines from Paper Loft. We have a set that is more primary/bright and the other is more pastel and muted. There are lots of great patterns in these papers and stickers.

We also have an entire sports line of papers, stickers, and rubons geared specifically for girls! We have a great selection of basketball, volleyball, and softball items all from Reminisce.

Technique Tuesday is in the store! We just can't get enough of these clear stamps. They are very easy to use and come in a nice variety of designs. We also have a carry tote so that you can keep all of your stamps organized.
