Too early for snow?

If you're not thinking snow yet, how about some foam on your coffee or whipped cream on your cocoa?  Join Angela this Tuesday between 12 & 2 and play with the Snow Writers and Glistening Snow Writers.  These economical pens make adding dimension to your projects a breeze!

The demo is free and no reservation is required.  See you there.

New Lawn Fawn and Store Updates

The new Lawn Fawn release is at the store and is super-cute! Here are some ideas with the new products:

We also wanted to remind you that guest artist and mixed media guru Dyan Reaveley will be at the store October 17 and 18. A couple of her classes are already full, so don't wait if you were thinking about signing up for any of them. We don't want anyone to be disappointed that they couldn't get into her classes while she is visiting the States.

Finally, we have been reorganizing the store to make things a bit more cohesive and easier to find. For example, we now have all the markers, pencils, and pens in one location. We also now have an entire mixed media wall of supplies! Be sure to come in and check it out. We really think you will like how things are organized. I will also post some pictures so you can see what is new and different.

W Plus 9

The latest W Plus 9 release was absolutely amazing. There are new sayings as well as fun animals together. Be sure to stop by t sore and give them a look.

When I say their new leaves set, I thought "Fall," but I love the colors they used in their samples to make them practical year-round

New Ranger Color!

It is the end of the month, so you know what that means.....the new Ranger Distress Color has arrived!

It has been a while since a brown color was added to the line, and we think you are really going to like how this dark brown works with other Distress Colors.

Here is a Tim Holtz video that shows you what the color looks like and how wonderfully it blends with previous colors:

Reverse Dies and iZincs!

It's a PARTY!  Join Angela this Tuesday between 12 & 2 for a FREE demo featuring "reverse dies".  Instead of cutting out images that are then adhered to a card, reverse dies cut pieces of the card away, revealing whatever is beneath.

We'll have some fun creating the "beneath" as well.  This background was made with iZincs (when you see it in person, it really shimmers).  Angela will also bring her Color Bursts, if you'd like to play with those as well.

And, adding extra texture, the card base is the fabulous Dot Paper from Bazzill. 

So, what are you waiting for?  Come and party with us!

Hay There!

 Looking for a fabulous all-occasion card?  Then look no further!  This card features stamps and coordinating dies from one of our favorite companies - Lawn Fawn!  Stop in any time between 10 - 8 on Wednesday and make one absolutely FREE.  You will make someone's day with this card!

Graceful Drapes!

Some of you have been asking about what to do with the dies I call the "draping dies" from Memory Box.  These dies are meant to frame not only the birdcage die, but also the ornaments.  They make a lovely, intricate accent to the card.

The next question I hear is "What's the best way to adhere dies this intricate to the card?"  And the answer to that is Stick It adhesive.  It basically creates a repositionable sticker out of your diecuts - and once you have them in place, the adhesive becomes permanent.

Stop in this Tuesday between 12 & 2 and give it a try.  This card is so elegant, but much easier than it looks!  See you there!

Mama Elephant Release

It is the 15, so that means we have the new Mama Elephant release. This month is all about cute critters with a Halloween flair.

There are also classic sayings with gorgeous fonts.
