New Arrivals

Boy have we been busy unpacking new goodies. Stop by and check out the Graphic 45 that we have added: A Proper Gentleman, Playtimes Past and Botanicabella. These papers are beautiful and have so many possibilities to be mixed and matched. We are super excited to have this brand of papers for you. We also received Basic Grey Max and Whiskers, Basics and Cappella. Wow, they are all awesome! Max and Whiskers has a few animal themed pages, but the prints are just sooooo versitile. Basics is just that, great basics. These leger and notebook style papers are sure to go great with all the other new lines we have and will be super for journaling. Cappella is going to be a big hit, it's already flying off the shelves today. This line is really pretty.

We are loading up the calendar for June, so get ready for a fun filled summer!
Hope to see you all soon!

New Boxes of Goodies

We had a great day yesterday, opening the new boxes of Pink Paislee. I received the brand new 365 degrees, Bayberry Cottage and the Queen Bee Collection. The papers and embellishments are so versitile; I think there is something for everyone. The Ribbon Pleats are so awesome and I especially like the new Blackberry Letters.

Also the new Artisan Frames, Alphabets and Swirls came in too. You can paint, ink, marker, spray and play with these wonderful new elements.

We have the new Pink Paislee in it's own special section by the crop room, so stop by to check it all out.

Easter Inspiration

The Ribbon Used on the "Spring is Here" card, is brand new seam binding ribbon. We just put out gorgeous colors for you to add to your spring cards. Best of all it's just .39 a yard. It makes awesome bows and you can glimmer mist it for a different look.
