*SWOON*
*SWOON* ... That's what I did when I saw the new Graphic 45 papers ... oh my... I thought they looked pretty great when I pre-ordered them but to see them in person is a whole other story !! They are amazing !! My mind is racing with projects ... I hope I can get some done before the paper sells out !! Actually it is so nice that I have already re-ordered most of it !! The pictures I took don't do it justice ... you should come see it in person. Also check out Graphic 45s blog ... www.g45papers.typepad.com for some breathtaking samples !
*( I just had someone stop in to ask a question ... her eyes were immediately drawn to the paper ... she loved it ... believe me, you will too !!)
The first line is ABC PRIMER ...
I am planning on making a black paper bag album kit ... probably in a few weeks.
Then there is Christmas Emporium ... wow. The papers are beautiful - thick paper, gorgeous rich colours, great designs ... classic.
My mind is spinning with Christmas project ideas ... !
They also have these really cute little kraft boxes with accordion fold albums inside. The boxes have a magnetic clasp and are all ready for altering ! The other album they have comes in a little film canister. Super cute ! I have a few of the albums but I have quite a few pre-ordered elsewhere. They should be here soon.
This is a short post ... I have been out straight getting ready for this week's card class and working on some renovations. I have just placed an order for a bunch of shelving so ... bear with me ... organization is on it's way !!! Things will be changing in the next few weeks ... I am excited about the changes !
In order to get some samples done up, renovations done, beads organized and sampled, orders placed, and kits assembled ...I am taking a few weeks off from the Kit of The Week . I have a few left from last week if anyone missed them. The Kit of the Week will be back in September ... and I am thinking Christmas !!!
So keep stopping in ... lots of new things ... and keep watching the blog for news on kits, classes, and just plan old ideas !!

It's a Tim Holtz Fest !!!!
Hi everyone !!!
As you know, I have been gathering {hoarding} Tim Holtz and Ranger products. They have been arriving in dribs and drabs since December. I wanted to wait til I had EVERYTHING and I may now ... but even if I don't ... it is going out there for you all to see, touch, use, and enjoy !! The products are soooooo fun and really allow you to find your inner artist !! I had so much fun experimenting this week ... my table was covered in projects !! I told Charlie (aka Feedman) that I FINALLY felt like I had accomplished what I had hoped to this week ... mind you I worked Saturday night, all day Sunday, Sunday night, Monday, Monday night, Tuesday, Tuesday night, and then today ... all to be ready to open tomorrow and have samples. (BUT there still are tons of samples I want to do !!!) But that seems like a bit of a tough schedule to follow ... not sure I like that aspect of it !! ;) But it was fun !! Last night at 10pm I was baking ... tiny little clocks out of Shrink film !! ( had forgotten about them !!) Anyone hoping for cookies was disappointed !! lol !!
So without further ado ... here are a few projects !!
KIT OF THE WEEK ...
This was really fun !! You will get to use the 7 Gypsies collage tissue, Tim Holtz film strip ribbon & hanger, Grunge paper flowers, Maya Road trinkets ... fun stuff !! And I made a little clock for each kit with Shrink Film which I also have for sale . It's amazing !! Stamp, punch/cut, bake ... and voila !!
** NOTE : the card does not come pre-stamped so you can add whatever quote you like. I will have my stamp here though if you do want that particular quote. **
Here are a few details ... I added Distress Stickles to my flower ... even distress needs to sparkle a bit ... !
So this kit is in limited numbers ... let me know if you want a kit saved. I haven't saved any this week as the regulars are usually card people . It will be the first who ask who will get them. I think you will really enjoy playing with this kit. It sells for $7.50.
Products ... think Tim Holtz, 7 Gypsies, Ranger , Maya Road ... fun & fabulous !! Everything form paper to glues & paints to tons of little "bits" that make projects so unique. I will have all the items in packages but also opened up and selling the pieces individually Flea Market Style !! Maybe you only want one book plate and a few hangers ... that's fine !! It's a great way to try new things. I will also be selling the Tim Holtz papers - card stock (distress & Adirondack) , patterned paper, grunge paper, kraft resist paper, and glassine paper - by the sheet as well as by the package. ... only 80 cents persheet !! If you love a product , buy the whole package ... I'm offering 20% of all whole packages of products from Tim Holtz, Maya Road, and 7 Gypsies.
Samples ...
WORK IN PROGRESS !!!
A 7 Gypsies album ... still have more to do but it has been quick & fun !! I may do up packages for this in the next few weeks if anyone is interested. (Once I get this one finished !!)
Claudine Hellmuth ... she has some great products out through Ranger ... her stamps are a lot of fun. Each design comes in 2 forms - foam & clear acrylic. You can use them individually if you want. But TOGETHER they are awesome !! You stamp with the foam first using either paint or ink ( I tried both) . Let the image dry. Then stamp over it with the acrylic stamp to add the outlining. I love them because they have a slightly offset registration so it looks like old printing from the 50s. The designs are bold and very graphic ... and just plain fun.
Here are some cards and tags I made using the stamps and her great paints.
I also used her paints, Multi Medium, stamps and Sticky Back Canvas to make this collaged wall hanging. It was a lot of fun !! I may do this as a workshop if anyone is interested. I hope to make a few smaller ones in the next few weeks.
Here is the Glassine Paper ... after it has been run through my machine in an embossing folder ... nice ... and then made into flowers. ♥ I'll try a few other ideas for next week ...
A card using the Kraft Resist paper and a few Tim Holtz trinkets and Maya Road bits... a manly card !!
And the adhesive backed foil ... oh my !! Be still my heart !! Run that through in an embossing folder ... can I do enough it to make a ceiling in the kitchen ??? Imagine a snowflake folder ???? wow. It can also be coloured with alcohol inks ... but I was so in love with it, I left it as is. Again, I'll try inks next week.
Ranger Memory Frames ... these have jewelry potential as well. Just pop open the frame, make a little collage or sandwich special paper between 2 pieces of glass, close it up and you are ready to roll !! I also have thin metal tape so you can make them with just the little pieces of glass ... I see pendants, Christmas tree decorations ... so much !! More future projects ... I told you I still had lots more I wanted to try ...
Maya Road ... loads of fun chipboard pieces ... butterflies (I coloured one using the Tim Holtz Distress Stains - so easy - and then glittered with some Stickles) , cameos, garden pieces, weather ... canvas banners & pieces, wooden spools & buttons. acrylic dangles ... soooo much !!
Well ... I've talked enough ... trust me, there is lots to see this week !! Drop in !!
** Just a reminder ... if you want to put pictures of your beloved pets in the CAPS calendar, the deadline for photos is August 31st !!**

Think Pink !!
Hi !
Somehow - completely accidentally - this update is all about pink !! Pink albums, pink cards, pink paper, pink beads ... crazy !
KIT OF THE WEEK : three cards ... all pink ... a "birthday wishes" card, a "you're so sweet" card, and a "whatever you want" card !! All the supplies, cut & ready to go, for all 3 cards for $5.
PINK WHIMSY MINI ALBUM KIT : They are ready !!
I had no idea how much cutting, stamping, punching there would be ! YIKES !! But they are ready ... and I had help !!
(yep, lots of help !!) The kit is $19.95 and is full of great stuff. Here is what you get in the kit...
all sorts of paper, borders, hand dyed ribbons, tags, labels, 3 complete alphabets in stickers, and lots of fun goodies !! I only have 13 and half of them are already spoken for ... let me know if you want one !! It is made from this week's featured paper from The Girls' Paperie. Here's what it makes if you need a reminder .
PAPER : This week's selected paper is from The Girls' Paperie ... a company no longer in business which is too bad. I love their papers. You may remember Tinsel & Twig from last Christmas ... also theirs. The owner has started a new company Authentique but it is a bit different from her previous designs. Anyway ... 3 lines this week from them
Kitsch
Vintage Whimsy and Jubilee
And look at all the great accessories
... rosettes, metal pins, paper pennant pins, resin flowers, cameos, buttons, cameo buttons, ribbon & lace ... so much !!
I will be selling them by the package but also individually, flea market style !! But if you buy 6 sheets of paper from that company, you will be able to get 25% off any packages of accessories !!
BEADS : I have just unpacked some new metal spacer beads from Tierra Cast ... wonderful metal beads in great colours like black and antique brass to name a few ... excellent quality and really beautiful shapes.
I have also been kitting like a mad woman !! I have more of the kyanite earring kits made ... this is the end of the kyanite beads so get them now. I have more of the olive green bracelet/earring sets ready and am working on the Chinese crystal bracelets as well as the soft mauve sets.
And here's the NEW kit ...
Pink & Grey Sparkler Bracelet !! I have the kits & instructions done ... I just need to get photos printed. I have an appointment in Halifax tomorrow so may not get that done but will do it as soon as I can. The kits are $9.99.
I am also working on a FAB Swarovski crystal ring ... it is going to be amazing !! And so simple !! Next week !!!
CARD CLASS : 2 weeks from today ... August 24th. Here are the last 2 cards of the 10. Reserve your spot now !!
COMING UP : TIM HOLTZ FEST !! Okay, here's a sad story ... I have boxes of Tim Holtz & Ranger product ... some of it has been here since Christmas ... but it arrived in dribs & drabs ... so I kept waiting for it all to get here so I could do a big TADA !! Anyway, I HAVE WAITED LONG ENOUGH !!! This is crazy !! SO next week , it will all be out and I will hopefully have a few samples made with it !! It is wonderful stuff !! I can't wait !! And as a special incentive , there will even be a discount !! Tune in next week !!
So, there's a quick rundown of what's in the shop this week. I am getting fall fever ... that means renovations & re-dos !! So don't be surprised if you come in soon & things are changed around ... I feel like re-organizing ( and some of it just plain needs to be organized the first time !!) . A few more weeks and I will be starting ... don't worry ... hard hats are not required !! Have a great week !!

And ... 3 weeks from today is the Card Class !! I am hoping to have a good number registered ... it would certainly make me keen to do more !! Remember you must pre- register.
Thanks & have a super week ! Hope to see you !!!
