This Is The Cool New Punch

This is that giant punch I was telling you about in a previous post. The punch on the bottom is one piece and you just bend the arms so they look like a flower. The punch on the top you punch out 6 petals fold them and put them together to look like a flower. They are so awesome!

Piles Of Ribbon

The May Arts ribbon order came in. I think I took a yard of each!

New Punches

Now I'm not one to get excited about a punch but I have to say this one rocks! It is a Punch Magic Fold-It punch. If you can get over it's size and try it you will love it! It comes in three different styles double daisy, waves and boomerang. The end result is beautiful! From that same company I also ordered: The large swirls that come in 8 different styles, small swirls, and Delicato punches. I don't have time right now to post pictures of the end result of the punches, but I will later.

I'm Glad I'm Not The Fed Ex Guy

The newly fallen snow yesterday was just beautiful, unless you're the Fed Ex Guy! We had just gotten in from playing in the snow when I looked out the window and saw someone walking down the driveway (I have a super long, snowy driveway). I told Ron to go check it out. Here it was the Fed Ex Guy bringing me my Maya Road order. I thanked him kindly even though I really wanted my grunge board!!!! But hey, I love Maya too! Thanks again Mr Fed Ex!

Pageframe Designs

I just got in my order of Pageframe Designs. I love this stuff. I felt so inspired by this acrylic I had to do a project! I used the new papers and a sticker that I got from Jenni Bowlin, Heidi Swapp letters, ribbon, a few flowers, foof-a-la buttons, miscellaneous trinkets I had laying around and a package of the 8" Circles by Pageframe Designs. And this is what I came up with. My husband had to drill a couple of extra holes so I could link them together, but it was a piece of cake with my little hand drill from Fiskars. I didn't use a lot of color, which is very unusual for me, but I'm loving the black and white.

Don't be afraid of the acrylic, once you make the jump into it, you'll love it.

Up North

I was so excited today, I ordered a new line of paper that I think you will all love. The paper comes in packs with cardstock. It's called Up North. They are actual photos from the North Shore! These will be a great addition to my travel and woodsy selections! If you need to get your hands on this cool new paper pack just email me at steltz_5@msn.com

Ordering New Product For The Pine City Scrapbooking Co. Inc.

As I've been saying, the new scrapbooking store will be open Feb 1, 2008. So I've been ordering new product like crazy! Today Nicole will be coming by to help me order. My husband is very anxious for the new store to open as he is losing garage space!
What has come in so far:
Jenni Bowlin - New for me, I've never carried this line
Eyelet Outlet
Creative Imaginations
Maya Road - Love their chipboard albums
Alexx Kesh - A new ribbon line that I've never carried
Tim Holtz Grunge Board! - Yikes I can't wait until this comes! It should be in my hands middle of this coming week. If you really need to have your fix on this hot product email me and I can hook you up. If I have to sell it out of the back of my mini van I will.
Scenic Paper Route - I can't help but love these guys
KI Memories - Love the diecut paper
Your Pictured Memories - The ribbon holders are awesome. I sold through one case of these in two weeks at Divine Memories. Those were black, the new ones are in color.
So today I will ordering a ton more. I'll post what companies I order from later.
You will love the new store and the new products. Don't forget to get your friends together after the new year to plan your retreat dates for Scrapbooking In The Pines Retreat Center. I have already started booking!
