Monthly Kit preview and exciting news....

We are proud to announce our new Monthly Kit feature in the store. Our first kit is now available in the Stash Kits area of the store. It features papers from Basic Grey Phoebe and Bazzill cardstock. Coordinating goodies include Paper Source labels and scalloped tags, ribbons, custom made journal tags, felt flowers and some BLING!

In other exciting news, we would like to announce our new addition as well. Nicholas Bryan arrived amid all of this excitement. My husband and I are just enamored of him! We're busy spoiling him and of course taking lots of pictures to scrapbook! Can you resist those cheeks???

He weighed in at 8 lbs 15.7 oz (they rounded up to 9 lbs) and 20.5 inches.

New Arrivals...

New Scenic Route and Technique Tuesday are here!

More items are starting to arrive daily so check back often. All new CHA items will be in the CHA Summer 07 area of the store.

Our Design Team has been busy. Make sure you look at their Galleries for the month of July!

Our weekly Newsletter will go out tomorrow with more announcements and 2 raffle winners!

Classes.....

Just because I own my own store, doesn't mean I'm not out there taking classes. I had a chance to take a class at a friends store a few weeks ago taught my Cheryl Mezzetti. She used the Honeydew and Teal papers from Creative Imaginations and the Brooke Peek-oh-Book.

Here is a quick shot of Cheryl's finished book -

BLOOM BOOK

Love the colors and the feel of this book. I've also designed my own Brooke Book using the Junkitz Extreme Boy line. This is a great little mini book with so many options. Each page has a pull out to hide more pictures or journaling. You can find the Brooke books and CI Papers in the Stash Store.

We love to shop....

just about as much as you do! We love CHA and Memory Trends too.
