Bags are packed

I just a few short hours I will be heading off for CHA. I have promised solemly to update here any great new products and ideas I find and will of course run a bit of a prize give away too. I already have a huge shopping list but any feedback or ideas you have make sure you share them as if you like something then most likely someone else will too. I will post again as soon as I can...in the meantime...check out my new must have items!!

Back to school

For many - -yesterday was a big day with kids across the state back to school. If you are anything like me you have HEAPS of first day photos so I spent a few hours over the weekend working on the pile and have some layouts to show you to hopefully give you some ideas and inspiration. All the papers and supplies are of course in--store - plus we have plenty more to choose from too!



For those of you who stalk the Graphic 45 blog you will also have seen that they shared a great double layout school project with complete instructions that you can print aout and use. We have plenty of their school range in-store and also have copies of these print outs for you to use too. To download yourself simply click here

more previews

I have been following a lot of companies blogs the pst few days checking out what they have in store for CHA. I have seen PLENTY to tempt... but just had to post these - mainly because they are from a brand we have never had before - Scrap Cake. What do you think???

Pigs might fly

A few years ago if somebody asked me if I would buy paper for the shop that had elephants riding bicycles on it  - I would have laughed and said never. Well then last year Graphic 45 brought out a range that included  a paper covered with elephants and their bicycles...and it sold out!! So this new range shouldn't surprise me it all!! Will I be ordering it..of course!!! 

The range is called Curiosity Shoppe and if you visit the Graphic 45 Blog this week you will see even more papers from the range plus embellishments too

Dust off the cobwebs!

I have decided it is about time I got the blog up and runing again...especially in the lead uo to CHA. This way we can show you all the new stock that is being released and you can let us know what you love and hate!!! The more info we have the more we can make sure we get what YOU our customers want!!!

One of the biggest names previewing their new ranges is  Tim Holtz... what do you think?

Just a few of the new stamps he has licenced with Stampers Anonymous..

And just a small selection of new items from Sizzix.

 These folders allow you to pick and coose exactly which areas you want to emboss.

If you want to see more of what Tim has up his sleeve then make sure you follow his blog.
So far he has only shown his Sizzix lines and just a few stamps - there is plenty more to go!
I will be back soon with some of the new lines from Spellbinders....
