Punches, Monthly Distress, Stamps, Beading ...

Hello !
I have been unpacking the last 2 days and have some fun things to share !
First ... the TIM HOLTZ PUNCHES have arrived !! I think these will be wonderful. Sometimes you just want to quickly punch out a few shapes and these will do just that. There are 3 sizes and a variety of shapes - hearts, stars, hexagons, ovals, shields, birds, butterflies, branches, leaves and more. And expect Christmas ones soon too !!

I also have some new stamps for Christmas & Hallowe'en as well as some cute beachy dies.
And BLUEPRINT SKETCH Monthly Distress ink has arrived !

 Click on the blue highlighted date below this (Thursday July 30)  to go to the album and see all that is new !

And June's new release of Distress ink has arrived ! HICKORY SMOKE. It is going quickly so speak for yours now before it runs out. This will be a great colour for distressing, shading, colouring edges, etc. A softer alternative to black.

P.S. I had company today ... my little cat Scout needed a day away from her housemates so she came to work with me. ♥

Schedule ... hi tech !

I tried to create a nice calendar & post it on the Facebook page ... after several hours, I printed one out and took a photo. lol. I'm not the best tech person out there. Anyway, while looking at it, I realized I had made a mistake on the calendar on this page. So here is the correct, super professional, hi tech version. Sorry for any confusion.
