Christmas Chestnut Soup

I just opened up a box of Jillibean Soup's Christmas Chestnut Soup collection. The designs are all on kraft paper and have a country feel. I have the 6 papers and the Journaling Sprouts. Very Cute!

New Arrivals

I've been gone, for like, forever, but today I have 2 new Doodlebug lines and 2 new Bo Bunny lines. They are all so cute, I don't know where to start, so I'm going to start with Doodlebug cuz i got theirs 1st. Bon Appetite and Welcome Home are two of the best lines that Doodlebug has had in a long time. I received papers, stickers, brads, braddies (so cute), jewels and die-cut sheets for both lines. If making cookbook/recipe books for Christmas gifts is on your to-do list, "Bon Appetite" is exactly what you need. While the "Welcome Home" line will be perfect for mini family albums. And I know we haven't even reached Halloween yet, but Bo Bunny's Valentine lines, "Crush Love" and "Crazy Love" are here and I must say, Bo Bunny has done it again. They always manage to come out with something new that's fun & fresh and I can't wait for you to see them. We have papers & stickers from both lines, plus a few rub-ons thrown in.

The Tater Tot Crop was great! Our weekend was filled with great ideas and great people to share them with. We ate tater tot casserole, baked potatoes, sweet potato muffins and sweet potato,pineapple upside down cake. We designed Ms. Potato Head and made our own Tater Tots! There are some great photos of all the fun. Everyone even learned some "tater trivia" ( in fact, there were alot of speck"taters" there)!

In fact, let's have a judging contest - go to our Facbook page at Pages from the heart and please vote for the tater tot you like best. We need your vote within the next two days. The lucky winner will receive a FREE RUBBER DUCKIE CROP IN JANUARY ( retail value $55)! You won't want to miss it!

“We’re All Mad Here” Hallowe’en in Wonderland Mini-Book - I’m mad for Graphic 45’s Hallowe’en in Wonderland Paper and couldn’t resist making a fun book to celebrate Halloween from it!

New Release

Taylored Expressions had a new release today and I felt compelled to order all the stamps...no surprise there. It's a great variety with a little Halloween, a little birthday, backgrounds and borders. I'm thinking it will be here next week, so all you Taylor lovers make sure to work in a stop at Pages.

Bo Bunny

Bo Bunny has finally arrived. I can tell you that I was getting a little impatient..but it was worth the wait. I received bits and pieces from Olivia, Learning Curve and Noel. I got the cutest kit for a schoolhouse mini-book that I guarantee will show up on the class list, so be watching...

New Arrivals

New things continue to arrive at Pages. Just in...Copic Marker Swatch Books (no more buying pen duplicates), Crate Paper's "School Spirit" collection (look for Maryjo to be having a layout class using these papers and embellishments) and "Jovial and Wander" collections from Basic Grey, all of them really spectacular.

American Craft

Mr UPS carted in 9 boxes today! I'm not sure he was as excited about it as I was. They were filled with paper packs and Share N Tell albums in 3 new colors...white, pink and blue. The paper packs are both 8 1/2 x 11 and 12 x 12 in Earth Tones, Neutral and Summer. They're a great value with the 8 1/2 X 11 packs holding 60 sheets for $14.99 and the 12 x 12 packs holding 60 sheets for $19.99. That's 20 free sheets in each pack!

New to Pages

I haven't opened the boxes yet, but I just received goodies from Nikki Sivils, Bella Blvd & My Little Shoebox. I can hardly wait to see what surprises these boxes hold. Believe me, I'm always happily surprised because I often forget what I ordered. And when I see it up close and personal it's almost euphoric!!! (Is that a little over the top?!)

i-rock Gem Setter is in the Shop

The new shipment of i-rock tools arrived today. Yippee! I was hoping they would come before the Shop Hop was over. I was supposed to get My Little Shoebox today, but it didn't come. And when I check the tracking # it says to check back later.... I wonder what's up???

Don't forget that tomorrow we will be demo-ing the Cinch binding tool from 10:00am - 12:00pm and 2:00pm - 4:00pm with free make n takes!

Looking forward to seeing all the "Hoppers" this weekend.

What's New Today

Today's deliveries included....Graphic 45, Hero Arts and Taylored Expressions. Be one of the first to use Taylor's new die cuts that coordinate with her stamp sets. They're fashioned after Spellbinder dies and will work with most die cutting systems. Graphic 45's Christmas and Steampunk papers are gorgeous. I don't have the entire collections, but I love the things I chose! Lastly, I received 4 new Christmas sets and 1 new Thanksgiving set from Hero Arts. I love, love, love them all. Stay tuned to see what tomorrow has in "store" for us!

Look what's new today

Finally, something came from CHA! I was getting very impatient. I got papers & sprouts from Jillibean's pasta fagioli collection and papers & embellishments from Cosmo Cricket's Mitten Weather collection. The Shop Hoppers were buying it right off the table faster than I could enter it in the computer! I'm expecting My Little Shoebox and Taylored Expressions by the end of the week! So stay tuned.....
