Roll a Little Pizzaz On Your Page...

This just in - cool new roller stamps for quick and easy accenting!

Aren't they cute?  And so easy - just roll and go!  The film strip one is super cool, and I love the effect created by using several different colors and styles across the background as shown in this layout:

 

These will also work great when paired with Washi tape... think of the layering effects you could create!

New Storage Solutions for Your Copics!

Yay!  Yay!  Did I mention,  YAYYYYY!!!!  Just arrived, an awesome new storage solution for your Copic markers!  (OK, technically these could be used for all kinds of markers, but I'm a Copic girl, so I'm discussing it in terms of Copics... and that's all I have to say about that!)

This is an awesome compact desktop rack that you can customize to fit your needs... it is sold in a single layer like this:

 

 And then you can stack (vertically and angled, as shown) to get the amount of pen storage you have room for:

Mmmm.... happy, happy thoughts.  Each layer is 5 1/2" deep, 9 1/2" wide, 1" tall, and holds 12 markers.... so go ahead and measure out your space (and count the number of markers you have!) then come on in and let us help you get those markers organized and accessible!

Give me a W! Give me an O! Give me a W!

What have you got?  WOW!!!  As in, "Wow!  Look at these gorgeous, limited edition embossing powders we just got in from Wow!"

 

This is a collection of six metallic-pearl embossing powders in a convenient (and adorable) little carrying case.... Get 'em while they're hot ladies  - these are sure to be popular!  (Translation - they're going to sell out quick!)

Stampy Goodness from 7 Gypsies....

Surely one of the first companies we think of when we think vintage is 7 Gypsies... they've always got an authentic, original take on vintage product and the new little stamp sets we just got in from them are no exception.  They've got a little bit of everything from alphabets to eye charts to mystical palm reading charts. Really, they're kind of like potato chips... I dare you to try to pick just one!

Owls, Anyone?

Oh My!!!!  We've just received the newest release from Darcie's stamps and all I can say is "Who?  Whoo?  Whoooo came up with this adorable collection????"  Those of you who love the sweet Darcie's stamps that come with accompanying button faces are going to flip over these cute-ific little owls!

As you can see these are absolutely PERFECT for Father's Day, so make sure you come in and get your stamps and pins and be ahead of schedule for a change!!!
