Cloud 9 Designs


Cloud 9 is another one of my favorite companies that we carry, when I saw their new product at their booth at the show I had to control myself because I wanted to get everything! We got in some papers that are called sparkle card stock that are awesome! Their Halloween line is my favorite that we got from them, the little ghost on the paper and stickers is adorable! Along with the Halloween line we got in some paper with different flowers on it and travel paper that I really enjoy also!

K&Company


We got in vintage retro patterned paper for Christmas with matching 3-d stickers. We also got their cute Halloween paper that has glitter on it and matching 3-d spider stickers to make the perfect Halloween card! We got a few other designs for the stickers including flowers and different words to add to your scrapbook.

Upsy Daisy and Best Creation



Upsy Daisy and Best Creation are two new companies that we got in our store. Best Creation has adorable paper that is all embossed and has glitter on it! Upsy Daisy has all double sided papers and a couple of rub-ons that coordinate with the paper.

Making Memories


We got in cute new embossed and foiled paper for the up coming Christmas season. We also got in velvet brads that are great for the middle of flowers!

Diecuts With a View

We got in a fun new line from them called Rock Star, we got albums, quote stacks, rub-ons, and paper packs that go along with the line. We also got a few new paper packs from them that include Christmas, Nana's Kids, Luxury, and all dressed up. Once upon a time came out with a few new things such as rub-ons, and quote stacks for prince, and princess.

New Beads & Kits

The Beads & Basics Department got a few new items in recently I wanted to share with you:

The first are some kits. There are a lot of new bead kits for kids- they have all of the supplies to make your own jewelry (beads, string, tools and even a mini bead board.) We also have new kits from Alex Toys. (Paper chains, lanyard, paper beads and more.)

Next: Provo Craft came out with a new line of resin beads called "Not Your Common Beads." They're adorable, and come in either a Funky Flower shape or assorted Round Beads. And they're not just for jewelry making (although they would work nicely for that too.) You can use them to embellish just about anything-from candles to frames to bags.

The third thing just got in is actually a new line of Jewelry making supplies that we had ordered at CHA. (the whole line isn't here yet- but should be soon.) It's called Natural Elegance and is from the Blue Moon Company. These are what I'm most excited for! They have a line of great metal findings and assorted style CHAINS! There's really nice earring wires, bead caps, chandelier earrings and chains (did I mention chains) Like I said we are still waiting for the rest of the line to ship but I'm excited about what we already have.

QuicKutz


We are now carrying the Silhouette by Quickutz! We also got many new die cuts to use with the quickutz system.

My Mind's Eye


My Mind's Eye is a company that we have always carried and we love it, so it was no surprise that we loved the two new collections when we were at CHA and ordered them up, and they have arrived! The Bohemia 2 collection came out with sheets of thick acetate borders and accents, journaling cards, and new double sided papers that are cute as always! The Bohemia collection has lines such as Sisters, at the beach, love of my life, etc. The other collection is a new Kaleidoscope collection called Confetti. This line is my favorite because of their fun bright colors with each line in the collection. The confetti collection has lines such as birthday girl, celebrate America, We are family, and many more.

Mrs. Grossman's Stickers

We got in many new styles of Mrs. Grossman's stickers, we got in new Christmas, wedding, and an adorable sticker line called little chubbies that have stickers such as little cars, construction equipment, and animals.

Hambly

We are excited to have a new company that is called Hambly in our store! We got in 18 overlays that are not just the typical acetate sheet that we have seen, they have original designs that I love!

Flair Designs



We got in three new lines from Flair, the family collection, the months of the year collection, and an autumn line. The family line has 18 new stickers and paper that matches including everything from brother, and sister to home sweet home. The month collection has cute stickers for each month and paper that matches. The autumn line is just in time for the fall season to arrive! It is super cute, it has the traditional colors of fall but with a distressed look to it. It has matching stickers that match the paper that include borders, and an alphabet that matches.

Flashing lighted head bands

With plenty of time left to plan your Halloween party or costume, don't forget to check out our flashing, light- up, headbands. There are ghosts, spiders, and bats to name a few styles to choose from. They are so much fun -- "It's Scary"!!

Flashing Necklaces

They Are Back!!
Our 3 speed flashing necklaces. They feature white ghosts or orange pumpkins. They come with an extra set of batteries, so the fun can last forever. They are a favorite, and tend to "fly" out of the store quickly. They prove to be a great value as well as lots of fun.

New Beads (both Perler and Jewelry)




We got a few new items in recently that I wanted to share with you. The first thing is actually an addition to our Beadalon line. We recieved a few new jewelry tools, wire, chain, new findings. Along with this shipment we got a new line called CZ-Gem Dropz. They are faceted Cubic Zirconia stones that have holes in them for making instant earings or necklaces by just attaching a jump ring. They're gorgeous, and remind me of Swarovski Crystals.

Also in our Beading Department we got in a new line of stranded beads from Expo International just came in. It's a huge assortment of all kinds of new beads: everything from shell beads to metal spacers, faceted acrylic and glass beads to wood and porcelian beads.

The last kind of bead we got in are new Perler Beads. They came out with new pegboard shapes and lots of new kits. (my favorite is the Perler Pirates kit-it's a parrot, pirate, ship, treasure chest and more. They're adorable.)

Masterpiece Studios



Masterpiece Studios is one of my favorite companies that we carry, so I was excited to see how fast the new stuff came in! Once a month a bunch of us girls from work get together to make different cards, I decided to use the new line of wedding that masterpiece came out with to make a quick, easy, and cute card. Masterpiece also came out with new Christmas, travel, and birthday party paper. Masterpiece has matching epoxy brads, jumbo brads, and epoxy clips that can be the perfect embellishment for a card or scrap booking page. Check out our projects page on our website for instructions to make this card.

New Reminisce



So where do I begin, how about Girly Girl. The papers are so cute and the stickers are accented with glitter. Wild Things is perfect for the zoo pictures you may have taken this summer, with all the papers, rub-ons and stickers that go with this line. The Northern Exposure and Snow Globe lines are very cute for a non traditional Christmas look and great for our Minnesota winters. Surf Shop and H2O lines cover pretty much anything having to do with water from water parks, cruises, boating, and pools. The papers are double sided and are in nice shades of blue. The Witch's Brew and 10.31 are one of my favorites for Halloween. The papers are "spooktacular" and the stickers are "bootiful".

New Paper Crafts Products

In the last week the Paper Crafts Dept. has gotten in a lot of new things. We have new Scrappin' Sports papers, about one for every sport. The new Daisy D papers are in and are as cute as ever. Sarah is thrilled I'm sure. Kimberlie was excited about some of the Scenic Route papers we have gotten in. Our order of new Quick Quotes have also come in. There are some really good sayings that I may need to use in my own scrapbook. Last but not least One Heart One Mind rub-ons, I love these! They are perfect for that scrapbook page, card, or even a craft project.

New Karen Foster

I am very excited to tell you we have received the new Karen Foster products from CHA. Including papers, stickers, brads, rub-ons, wood plaques and charms. My favorites are the hunting (my husband is into that), the wine, dinosaurs, and science fair lines. The science fair brads have these cute little light bulbs. Don't get me wrong the other lines such as tooth fairy, travel, Halloween, and preschool are also cute.
