Six Picks

Eeek! The new MemoryWorks catalog arrived this week, and it is absolutely full of scrappy goodness! I wanted to share with you a few of my favorites. I'll be placing an order for some of these very soon, and I hope to have projects to share with you soon after that. So, without further ado, here they are in no particular order:

American Crafts Cardstock. It's textured, it's color-coordinated, and it's CHEAP. At 34 cents per sheet, these variety packs are a great deal. (Also comes in single-color packs!)







7 Gypsies Chipboard Alphas & Numbers. These chipboard stickers give added dimension and character to a scrapbook page or card. Can't wait to get my hands on some! Of course there are matching papers, stickers, etc....








Pink Paislee Bayberry Cottage. This collection just calls my name. I love the color combinations and the vintage, distressed look. I have visions of gorgeous pages and cards coming from these papers. Again, there are matching stickers and other amazing accessories to be had as well.


















Fancy Pants Road Show. Again, the colors and vintage feel of this collection really gets my mojo flowing. These glitter cuts are to die for and would add that perfect "something" to a papercrafting project. The brads, buttons, and papers are great, too!


















Card Kits. Card lovers, unite! We have more new card kits than you can shake a stick at! We've got Basic Grey card kits for all the new lines: Green at Heart, Kioshi, Capella, and Max & Whiskers. We've also got all the Fancy Pants lines in card kits: Road Show, About a Girl, My Family, and Rusted Sun. A big ol' slice of card heaven!


















BoBunny Mamarazzi. I've been eyeing this line ever since the sneak peeks came out for CHA. I think this line is so versatile in that you can use it for heritage photos, pages about your scrapbooking hobby, or actual pages about stalking your kids with the camera! LOL It's a great-looking line with a lot of possibilities.

So those are the top six items on my wish list - for now. I'll probably have a whole new six picks this time next week! :)

Basic Grey in the House!

So, I just received a huge shipment of the new Basic Grey lines Kioshi and Green at Heart.

Ever since they came in I've been staring at them all misty-eyed. They just look so PRETTY all hanging up in a row. *sigh*

But I must share with you my friends, so if you want to get your hands one some of this goodness, come to the crop this Saturday. Can't come and crop? Just stop by to say hi and see all the goodies!
