What? Who is Eva? Why is her Ambrosia Offbeat?

It's all about the three new lines from Basic Grey. Wait until you see them. The Ambrosia is a beautiful combination of Orange and Grey, Eva is beautiful pinks with greens and browns, while Offbeat is yellow and blue. The papers are here, the collection packs are here, the alphabet stickers are here and so are the fibers and 6x6 paper packs. The usual assorment of fabulous embellishment are shipping a little later. Great excuse to come back in later.

Come in and visit, see the new stuff. We also got the New Scenic Route and some more Tim Holtz stamps and metal findings. Always something new......

If you have not seen them on the Hero Arts blog yet, take a peek at the new Holiday stamps http://www.heroarts.com/. They are fabulous and they are HERE at Scrapbook Territory!!!!! Pirate owls and birdhouse gift tags, beautiful winter trees and wonderful holiday sentiments, everything to make your Halloween, Thankgsiving and Christmas greetings into something wonderful. They have already started to fly out the door so don't hesitate to come in and see what all the excitement is about.

It's that time of year again. The summer Craft and Hobby Association Show is next week in Chicago and some of our favorite vendors are beginning to preview their products. Tinkering Ink is previewing their new line, Metro Retro (above) and some great stamps for the winter holidays. Meanwhile, Cosmo Cricket has new camping, Halloween, and toddler papers.

We'll keep watching the vendor sites and bring you more previews as we find them. Check back often next week to see if we find a way to blog from the show!

So here it is 5:00pm on Thursday the 3rd of July and I'm at my desk at work. In every other job I've had I would have been long gone for the 4th of July weekend. Tee hee, oh well, so go the differences between being a small business owner and working in High Tech. Instead of database connectivity I get to tell you about bling! REAL BLING, in fact, RIDICULOUSLY real bling. We have Swarovski Crystals by Creative Imaginations. While over the top, they sit in their own little locked glass case at the register (15 cents each), they REALLY sparkle. Being the magpie that I am, I couldn't resist them.

We just got some beautiful handmade albums by Molly West

Come in and check out Euphoria, Basic Grey's new summer release.

Tsukiniko released new rich color dye inks. They are super high detail and vibrant when stamped. We've finally finished stamping a sample of every ink color we carry...so you can see exactly which color you want.

We've got the new autumn leaves "Stampology" clear stamp inks in stock. The idea is that the formula won't bead on clear stamps - and it really does work, almost every color stamps beautifully. The blues, greens and pinks are fabulously clear and bright, and don't puddle at all. The gold and silver had a weird thick film that flaked off - I didn't care for those at all.
