Snowman Humor

Right in the middle of the Produce aisle, Frosty gets caught
picking his nose.

Thought this was a hoot! Our loyal friend and customer, Lisa Hunt, emailed us this joke and I just had to share!
Merry Christmas!

New Paper Piecing Kits!

We have 2 new great paper piecing layouts in the store - hurry in and get yours while they last! All pieces are precut so that you can glue and go! Want a matching second page? We have the extras you need for that also! I think this My Mind's Eye paper is just so perfect for these whimsical little guys!

Fun Christmas Creative Cafe Ideas

I love this idea of putting three pennant panels together to make a holiday card holder!



Great ornaments combining felt and paper , and a fun cardstock tree embellished with buttons and felt!





Sorry the pictures are different sizes, but I wanted to go ahead and get the ideas online for you to see and get inspired! These projects were made by the Creative Cafe design team and I think they did a fantastic job!









I think the snowman is so stinkin' clever - labels for the body, snowflake parts for the arms and rub on swirls as his snowy perch!

Creative Cafe is here!

The first weeks project is a thankful tag book. Cate loved helping to put out the new Creative Cafe products - her skirt and sweater were even a matching blue and brown! (we couldn't resist that photo opportunity!)

What wonderful projects we have for you to make with the new Creative Cafe products!

Creative Cafe!

We are so happy to be a part of Creative Imaginations' new Creative Cafe! What fun is all the matching double sided papers, chipboard, ribbons, buttons, and felt!

Memory Trends 2007 - So Many Ideas!

These were projects on display at the Prism Paper booth. I really like the clean lines of these projects and how the colors make the pictures pop!

S.E.I. Booth

This great little accordian book was on display at the SEI booth.

I really liked this layout because of its versatility - I could make it using any scrap papers I may have in my collection, even though this layout was made using paper by Piggy Tales.

Cute little Christmas tag book.

A great layout with the new die cut papers, and handmade Christmas decorations at the Making Memories booth.

Making a mini album out of clear acrylic pages and transparencies makes for a very fun to look at project.

I fell in love with this lamp in the Hambly Studio booth. They used all their luscious papers to create this hip lamp that I wanted to take home with me! . I also loved how they took just a piece of the spider web transparency for this purple layout, and how they layers rub ons on top of a transparency in the "my boys" layout.

Hampton Arts had some of my favorite sample projects during the show. I couldn't stop snappin pictures of all the wonderful ideas!

Hampton Arts always has really cool and different samples. I can get so jazzed just looking at them!

Autumn Leaves designers never fail to inspire me. I loved these layouts!
