I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for your comments on the posts this week. I love knowing what you're looking forward to seeing. Now that we've seen it ALL in person, I feel confident in backing the products we ordered.

Want a little preview?

Okay...... (Lets go in alphabetical order)

7 Gypsies - more fun papers AND alterable trays

Basic Grey - Look for preorders on the newest lines (Curio and Marjolaine ship in October). Wander and Jovial ship in October (along with some of the new Basics items)

Bella Blvd - 6 new lines from Bella. Stephanie, the owner, really outdid herself this time. We took a few classes using their products and we're definitely bella Girls now! Lines ship in August, September and October.

Coredinations Cardstock - More new embossed cardstock is on the way! Graphic 45 now has a matching cardstock line

Cosmo Cricket - Cosmo is one of our favorite lines. I was a little unsure of some of their lines but once I saw them in person, my support of Cosmo continues. Their new lines are ALL adorable. They have some new Tiny Type letters with this release that are clear stickers. Once applied to your project, they look like a rubon.

Crate Paper - you'll see all 3 new lines in stock. Yes, we ordered EXTRA Restoration because we know this one is going to sell out!

Echo Park - Okay, this company is a NEW favorite of ours. These are great papers to work with. They released 3 new lines. 1 Halloween and 2 Christmas. There is a vintage Christmas and a BRIGHT Christmas. True Echo Park Christmas papers.

Fancy Pants - We're excited to announce the return of Fancy Pants to the store! You're going to love the new releases.
Girls Paperie - Toil & Trouble and Tinsel & Twig - Margie did it again! I love this woman!

Glitz Designs - We're also bringing back Glitz Designs! Their 3 new releases are awesome!

Graphic 45 - Yummy new Halloween lines as well as their usual vintage papers in the Steampunk line.

Hambly - look for some fun new stuff from Hambly!

Jenni Bowlin - LOTS of new JBS products will show up in the store this month! and yes, we ordered her new ink pads! (Please let us know if you are interested in any of her other ink products. They are scheduled to ship at the end of August.)

Jillibean Soup - expect all of the new Soup lines on our 'menu' this fall. I wanted to steal the corrugated alphas off the booth wall! And don't get me started on the new canvas stars!

Kaisercraft - We know you all love things to alter so look out for some fun new wood products from Kaiser.

Lily bee - All three new lines from Lily Bee will be here in September!

May Arts - How many ribbon junkies do we have here?

Maya Road - This company needs no introduction or cheerleading. They did it again with this release. More fun chipboard pieces, albums, MISTS and ribbon.

October Afternoon - all I have to say is YUM! The school line has been expanded, a camping line and a vintage family line.

Pink Paislee - The new Parisian Anthology line just begs to be inked, misted, distressed. Lots of fun, fun, fun products in this line!

Prima - another company that needs no build up.....

Punky Sprouts - Okay, the name should tell you everything you need to know about them! Their mini albuns are all made in the US from recycled materials. They are mixed media albums in several cool shapes. Canvas, acrylic, chipboard and corrugated pages make up each of these fun albums. You can make some of the cutest banners with them too!

Tim Holtz - look for more inks, dies and other things from Tim Holtz.

Sassafras Lass - I walked into their booth and saw a wall full of the Sass that I love. The fun colors and patterns are back! Indie Girl is already in the store (we placed a reorder at the show). Mix & Mend is our other favorite!

Scrap Happy - more on this company later. You're going to LOVE this stuff!

Studio Calico - Its no secret that I love SC. They went over and above my expectations with this release. Their veneer pieces have the coolest woodgrain look to them. Its enhanced with the mists. I could have packed myself up in their booth and shipped myself back to their warehouse!

Unity stamps - I made some new friends in this booth. I'm looking forward to my first shipment from Unity

Websters - Lots of Websters will be in the store later this year!

We R Memory Keepers - We've had our eye on this company for a while. Look for some fun new paper lines AND the new Sew Easy products.
