Wonder Years


I'm sure the crystal blue eyes staring at me as I make gurgling sounds skew my objectivity. Just because I spend a lot of time with a 3 month old does not mean that you too won't appreciate the Wonder Years collection from Daisyd's. The papers are whimsical and the stickers - just great. Keep a sharp eye on the "Build a Page" kit - you'll love it.

Hoppin' Down the Bunny Trail



I know you may be enjoying freezing temperatures with biting winds BUT, that's what is wonderful about spring. The hope of spring is truly a blessing. The Scenic Route Lynden collection triggers the excitement of longer days, warm breezes and old time memories of women at church with fancy ornate Easter hats.

Distress



We have added the Tim Holtz Distress Crackle paints. Easy to use - just brush on and "watch the paint dry". Great look for chipboard. You can see I've already got started on some chipboard for my darling baby girl.

Those items that you save will remain - so if log out of the site and return you can resume shopping from where you left off. We hope to add thumbnail pictures in the cart shortly.

Little Project


I love boys, but... there are defininte advantages to a little sweet girl. For one PINK -I love pink and now I can go all out with it!
Though with 24/7 baby time this is about the only project I've done lately. This wooden hanger had a logo and I covered it up with Autumn Leaves MOD epoxy bird, Colorbox Caulk ink around the edges and Maya Road with some Fancy Pants ribbons.
Can't wait to find time to scrap-I have taken tons of baby pictures.

Two Scoops




Wow - the new Two Scoops collection from Basic Grey is FUN with LOTS of pink! It's not surprising everyone wants thi line - elegant, quality, an beautiful. Of course it's GOT to be added to my collection. Perfect for a darling baby girl. We've had some crying - allergies - milk, nuts, corn. Since I'm breast feeding , I can't have these products either. BUT, she is not allergic to chocolate - thank goodness!

Flying Off the Shelves


The card holders from 7 Gypsies have been hard to keep in stock-very popular! We just received a back order and have them! Great fun to embellish - put your daily thoughts, staple two together and put "secret" notes in between, use as an address book, not to mention playing with ribbon. I used Basic Grey ribbon and buttons to get started with mine-my first one to be my new address book.

Envelopes


I've always liked to create thank you cards and invitations instead of buyng the boxed set. Of course, I get my thank you all
ready to go - and where is the envelope! We've added envelopes to our mix for that very reason. A7 size is for a 5x7 card
or foldover and the A2 size is for a 4 1/4x5 1/2 size. Our house is baby city and squeezing in the thank you's is....ahh you know what I mean!

My 9 Month Album

I've started my 9 month album - pregnancy - with the trapezoid album from Creative Imaginations. Really love the look of the 7 Gypsies page protector - a unique item and super easy. Heidi Swapp rub-ons, Creative Imaginations ribbon, Scenic Route die-cuts...I just need to stock up on toner and start printing photos!

Autumn Leaves clear stamps

The Autumn Leaves clear stamps are one of our top sellers and with good reason. My assistant Jake does a fabulous job moving the stamps - maybe he'll be a hand model. A career as a male hand model- nah maybe not such a hot idea.

No Not Paparazzi - it's Glitterazzi!

Glitter is a super way to "liven" up your page - maybe not the cover of People magazine being held by Matt Damon - but you get the jist. Add some "star" power to your layouts. We have the ultra fine and the large chards - they take me back to art class in elementary school.
