So many new things in October...

The new Signature Suite and Bohemia lines from My Minds Eye are here... Meanwhile, we await the fate of the Wild Asparagus brand... This is the new generation of products. Jen Wilson is my favorite designer so we are thrilled to have this, finally!



The new Rusty Pickle is really funny. I love the "Mom's Taxi Service" paper, but there are many others that poke fun at all elements of family life. We also have the "Grinch-mas" line, until it's gone... I think it will be really popular, since we've had people calling for it. We have always had Rusty Pickle in our store since we opened, but we decided to create a whole special display for these products to showcase them. There are still some Rusty Pickle papers and embellishments around the store, too.
















The new "sleepy time" and "story time" lines from Karen Foster are perfect for bedtime scrapbook pages.














Argh!!! Listen ye fans of summer pirate movies... Karen Foster's most excellent Pirate line yields lots of treasure and adventure for ye... if ye can buy it before it's gone...



Elmo is here with all his friends from Sesame Street... (Giggle, giggle)



The pet section has lots of new stuff right now, including collections from Karen Foster (really adorable), Rusty Pickle (really fun), and BoBunny (for posh pets).


Wrestling and Karate papers are just a few of the new Karen Foster sports papers that have come in recently. We've also added three new papers for Tennis, as well as new papers for Swimming, Lacrosse, Volleyball and other sports this summer. If you don't see something out, ask the staff to check in the back for you because we don't have space for everything to be out right now. We're also ordering everything we can for local Hockey fans who still have to scrapbook the Hurricane's championship season.
















We added a few vintage inspired papers to our Military section for you scrapbookers who are putting together heritage albums. I can't wait to use this paper to scrapbook about how one of my grandmothers went to work in a weapons plant in Detroit while her husband was away fighting in World War II.


















The Heritage section is glowing with new warm colors of paper from My Minds Eye's "Front Porch" collection and new Rusty Pickle papers.
















Check out the new circle, oval and rounded-corner square cutters from EK Success. Finally! Also, the Cutterpede recently underwent a redesign and it's now better than ever.

Designing with Color - Autumn Leaves' latest idea book - is here and it's full of bright ideas. We've also received Layout Blueprints and have started carrying Scrapbook Answers magazine this summer. We recently sold out of Creating Keepsakes Hall of Fame, Vol. 8, but it's on reorder again. (We actually had two current hall-of-famers in the store this week, buying the last issues!) Lots of new books are coming this fall...


















The new Basic Grey is gorgeous! We are a little late in getting this line, due to problems with the supplier, but it's finally here. Stock up now, because we'll be buying the new lines at Memory Trends...
We're in the process of reorganizing again to create space for the things our customers have asked for. Check out our new card-making section! Also, we're in the process of expanding our tools section. And we just created a new display for dry embossing that features Lasting Impressions products. This gives us even more space in Stamping to add new inks, stamps and stamping tools for you!
