Papercraft Ponderings

Come and see me at the store tonight!

I'll be at the store tonight organizing my catalogs and all the samples I brought back from CHA.  Stop in and say hello, I missed you all!

More CHA photos:

Hard to see ladies, I know, but that's Tim showing us his new products for Ranger, Sizzix, Stamper's Anonymous and Advantus.  I LOVE THEM ALL!  I ordered them ALL!  Sizzix and Tim Holtz have told us that there will be a limited supply of Tim's new dies for Halloween and Christmas.  Please call the store and let me know if there are any that you know you want.  If I haven't ordered enough I will increase my order, but I must do it by August 10th!

I put in a good size order with Stamper's Anonymous for Tim's Halloween, ticket and Christmas stamps.  Again, if there is something you specifically want please call the store and get on the special order list!

More later!

I'm baaaaack...

Hey everyone!  I had a fabulous trip to CHA Summer in Chicago!  Here are some images from the trip:

I was able to spend an afternoon and evening with my wonderful brother and sister-in-law! I usually only get to see them at the holidays, so this was a special treat.  You can't see my sis-in-law because she's taking the picture:-)

My brother took me to Rosemont, IL on Saturday morning at 7:30am and I never stopped moving after that!  Since Papercraft Clubhouse is a Crafter's Home store I participated in Craft Mania, two days of vendor presentations, idea-sharing and goodies from our favorite vendors!  Here is a goodie bad from SEI:

Of course I love every one of the fabulous vendors that have partnered with Crafter's Home.  They were so wonderful!  And of course you can see my ever present calculator and order forms.  This is one of the Uchida punches and below are samples of all Moxxie's new papers, including new theater paper. I will be ordering that for sure.

 

After two days of Craft Mania the actual show began.  I took lots of classes with Flower Soft (see below), My Little Shoebox, Melissa Frances... sadly I missed my CI class.  I had lost track of the days!!!!

 

Okay, this post is getting a bit long.  More later!

New Jenni Bowlin alphas

One of our customers turned me on to these adorable and functional little alphabet sets.  Whether flags or butterflies they are great!

New and "Wonder"-full!

Oooh, I just love the fronts AND backs of the Graphic 45 Halloween in Wonderland collection.  I see many possibilities for altered art, books, ATCs and of course scrapbook pages!

 

 

cha-summer 2010 sneak peek #2 (stampers anonymous)...

wow bloggers!  thanks so much for the kind comments yesterday.  i truly appreciate hearing your congrats on the 100th collection set and of course reading your comments about the stamps.  some of you mentioned the repetition of images, keep in mind that these are the minis i've been doing for those who asked for smaller sizes of your favorites to use on atc's and tags (these images are over half the size smaller than the originals).  i'm so excited to share these remaining 5 sets which includes some great christmas images, new minis, and my personal favorite...#100th collection called "odds & ends".  it's my favorite because it has so many uses: first it fits my ticket strip die with sizzix so you can simply die cut your tickets and stamp them for your favorite holiday ticket, or the new calendar, journaling, or created by tickets.  second, there is a blank ticket stamp that you can stamp on the tickets and stamp one of the various text quotes which fit inside that ticket.  third, of course these text quotes also fit inside the ornate plates form idea-ology (both the oval and rectangle ones) so you can stamp them and place the plate over them.  lastly, the text quotes also fit my file tab on the edge die with sizzix, so you can stamp them on to the tab for a cool addition to your mini book - how cool is that???

Okay, between yesterday and today Tim Holtz has shown us 10 new stamp sets. Let me know what you think. I think they're fabulous! I am especially fond of all the tix to use with our sizzix die.
