Coming soon from Tim Holtz

Ok, I admit I'm a bit obsessed with everything T!m- I can't help it; creativity just emanates from him! I have been fortunate to take many classes from him over the years and I am always impressed with his creativity, professionalism and charm. So when he posts on his blog about new products that he is putting his name on- I'm all over it.

Keep in mind that some of these items will not be available until September, but be assured, I'll have them in the store just as soon as Ranger releases them.

All of these images are from Tim's Blog:

Catching up

I've been a little lax on updating my blog, just very busy these days.
Donna is on vacation at Ocean Beach for 2 weeks and Terry & I are preparing for the Parking Lot sale coming up in August. Let me tell you, there will be a TON of stuff. I have made some special purchases and we are sorting through it all this week.
The CHA summer show is coming up in about a week and a lot of companies have sneak peeks of their new releases- if you see something you like be sure to let us know. I have already begun placing orders so expect to see a lot of new stuff the next time you are in - which will hopefully be soon!

I've been following along in the Photo editing class over at Jessicasprague.com and here is my first project using textures and masks.

Spellbinders Pendant Dies

If you were were following the Spellbinders Blog hop last week you saw all of the amazing projects made with the new Pendant & Border dies. We put our order in right away and today the first box arrived with the pendants in it. The borders should be in any day. Of course, spellbinders didn't stop there - today they started a whole new blog hop for even more dies (new Labels!!)

In case you missed it here are some of my favorites from last week:

Becca Feeken - Fleur de lis

Heidi Blankenship - In Spades (scroll down to see the gorgeous projects)

Linda Duke - Renaissance Hearts

New Sizzix Dies

Think that when it comes to Sizzix you've seen it all before?
Think again! Sizzix has come out with a bunch of new dies and embossing folders and we have them.
We sell a ton of Cuttlebug embossing folders because, let's face it, they're awesome! The only drawback is that they don't have enough styles. While there will be more in a few weeks (after CHA), we have been itching to get new ones sooner. So I started looking around and found that Sizzix has some fantastic designs and they will also work in both the Sizzix Big Shot and the Cuttlebug. Check out some of the ones we have below:
We also have several of the new cutting dies which will also work in either the Sizzix Big Shot or the Cuttlebug.
