Glitz Design

Check out the new Glitz Designs stuff we just got! Love their 'Frosting'!!

See more from their booth at Memory Trends HERE. The Frosting is bendable so you can run it around anything. The ladies at the booth decorated their sign with the frosting.

Very cute!

The rest of our time in Vegas.....

was spent partying with other Kings fans before the Frozen Fury game on Saturday. I love the fact that Memory Trends was the same week so we only had to make one trip.
We missed this last year when we were in Europe and were supposed to miss it this year to be in Hawaii. With the business and the new baby, we stayed home.
So, what do the cool Kings fans look like?




Thats my friend Mandy in her Avs Suck jersey. She's been wearing that every year now. The Avs fans hate it.

And of course, there were about 3 Duck fans that felt the need to show up. Not sure why. We made them feel welcome. :) Actually, we didn't. :0

You can see more pictures HERE.

We took Nicholas to the Shark Reef at Mandalay. He made friends with the alligator.



And we had dinner at Hofbrauhaus - the annual get together for the Kings fans on Friday night. This year, the celebrity beer tapper was Neil Diamond. Yes, THE Neil Diamond. I thought he was an impersonator but this was the real thing. He had the entire place singing Sweet Caroline and standing on the tables with beer steins in hand.


Speaking of beer steins, my husband HAD to get the 34 oz Stein. This is German Beer so the alcohol content was just a tad bit higher than the American Beer. 6.5% to be exact. I had to drive back to the hotel.


Oh yeah..... WE WON!!!!!!!!!!


Dustin Brown scored the winning goal in the shootout. It was great to start the season with friends we've made at the games in the past. Frozen Fury is always the annual start of the season for us, even if it is a pre-season game. It has a playoff game atmosphere.

New stuff!

Ordered lots of new stuff at the show today.
Rusty Pickle has new acrylic albums out. Very cute. These look awesome with their new lines of papers.
Making Memories has several new diecut papers coming out. They added scalloped journaling books too!
Hambly Studios turned their popular Journaling bits into rubons. So there are now 2 different styles. These ship in Mid-October so look for those. We picked up some of their new transparencies and reordered some of the popular ones that are out of stock in the store. Being one of the first companies to really work with transparencies, they came out with a 12x12 sheet of acrylic that can be trimmed using your paper trimmer, decut machines or a pair of scissors. These can be made into ANY shape you want to use. Yes, we ordered some!
Ranger - Tim Holtz was there today demonstrating his cool new diecuts. They're fabric, their chipboard - they're awesome! You can distress these any way you want to. And because they're designed by Tim, you know they will accept any kind of ink! He was doing some amazing things with these! The best part is, the apha and number packs come with many different fonts in each pack for only $20.00!! I'll post more pictures of these later!
Glitz Designs - A new company this year. We placed our order for some of their 'frosting' and papers. These girls did an amazing job on their banner for the booth. They took strips of their 'frosting' and outlined their logo! The strips are flexible and can be adhered in any pattern. Also ordered some of their plastic mesh. Lots of cute stuff from this company!
More updates later! For now, we're enjoying the lions at MGM!
