CHA Day 1

We made it through the first day at CHA. The manufacturers have outdone themselves with their summer releases. New Basic Grey paper lines(yes, really!); lace paper from KI Memories; holiday papers and more altered stuff to make some great gift items were some of the things we saw today. Provo is coming out with a whole new line of Disney licensed Cuttlebug embossing folders, and dies. There will also be new Cricuit Disney princess cartridges. Cuttlekids will also be introduced as the a Cuttlebug version for kids.

There is a new tote made specifically for your Bind-it-All. Check out these cute new stamp sets from Maya Road.

The best part of starting the day was meeting up with some great friends and colleagues. We were able to share the hunt in finding new and exciting products for eP with some special women. After the event closed for the day, Bevie was gracious enough to host all of us for some dinner and great evening conversation. It was fun to trade notes and talk about all the different things that we all got to see and play with. Thanks again, Bevie!

Stay tuned tomorrow for some more CHA updates.

Samples by Samantha

We are just about to come from air from the busy July 4th(sparksday) and 7/07/07 promotion that we had. Thank you! Thank you! for all your continued support through your orders. We hope you are all having some summer fun playing with all your new stamps, papers and accessories.

Meanwhile, as Joy and I were busy processing orders, my daughter, Samantha(10yrs), decided that she had to play with all these fun stamps that you have all been ordering. As she was helping to pick orders, these stamps just tempted her so here are her creations with a little inspiration and help from various blogs and SCS, too.


Tiers of Treats by Stampendous

We can't keep this cute stamp in stock. It is so fun to color! It's hard for me to photograph but Samantha used a white 3-D Opaque Souffle pen for the icing and then used the Sakura Gelly
Roll Stardust pen for the glitter. She made this card just so she could play with the Stampendous stamps.




















Cheesecake Party by Penny Black
We actually went to "Miss Joy's" to stamp last week and take a little break. Joy also has this card up on her blog along with another cute Penny Black card sample. The paper here is Splendid from Fancy Pants and the greeting is from Paper Trey.



Oh those Rubber Romance Gals
Samantha was so excited about this card that she wouldn't let me see it till she was done. She came up with this one by herself including choosing the color combo and papers. She designed it for my sister-in-law who is left-handed and thought it would be fun to have the card open the opposite way than we are used to. She used the Jane and Girly Girl stamps. The patterned paper that she chose was from Chatterbox.

Of course all the solid cardstock was Stampin' Up! Who doesn't love all those SU colors and the heavyweight cardstock. We actually bought some Prismacolor art markers so that we have a chance to play with them. They are great because they do not streak and the colors are not just plentiful but vibrant. We now see what all the rave is about these markers.

Stay tuned for the weekend. We will be off to CHA in a couple days to find more great things for the eP product mix.

Have a great week!

Good Times & Cupcake Fun

Last week was the last day of school and Samantha(10yr DD) wanted to make a couple things for her friends. Fifth grade for Samantha was so fun and she really made those girlfriend connections this school year. Helping me pack up all those Tiers of Treats stamps and fun papers, Samantha had to play with them. She went to town creating these "Miss Joy" inspired gift bags.


















The 6x6 Salsa Celebration -Junk Padz really goes well with the Stampendous Sweet Delights collection.

Sticking with this fun cupcake theme, my sister(Leilani) wanted to try out Sprinkles and their "scratch-baked" designer cupcakes. So we all went with my sister in search of these much-talked about cupcakes. Boy were they yummy and they have 12 different flavors everyday(good thing it is not, too, close to home). They had red velvet, chocolate coconut and cinimman sugar to name a few. It was a fun place to take the girls for our first day of summer fun. Now I need to dig out those Heidi Grace Cute Cakes papers to scrap our "sweet adventure".

Crafty Secrets, New Provo Tins, & Sledding Oh My!

Hope everyone is having a terrific summer so far. We just wanted to let you all know that we received the following items. These are now available online so get yours to start on all those projects you want to try and get done this summer.

• Crafty Secrets acrylic stamps sets are here. You asked for them so we got them for you. One of my favorites is the Tea & Coffee set.
  
• SLEDDING Cuttlebug A2 embossing folders have finally arrived. We did not receive a large quantity so get yours now.
• New Provo tins in a Canister & Band Aid Tin are available. Check out this great Rectangualar box, too, that would be a perfect alterable container for your beautiful greeting cards.
• We finally received the Jeramee Dress form(small/12") . Can't you see doing one up for every holiday?

We also received some new Crate Paper ribbons that match the new paper lines like Samantha & Crush....just give us a couple days to upload. We are also waiting for the new Basic Grey paper line called Infuse to be shipped to eP. We'll let you know when it arrives.
