Product Review


Punches are a versatile tool for cardmaking, scrapbooking and paper crafting. Punches are also economical because once you own a punch you can use it to make your shape or design in tons of different colors to match your project.
Think out side the box: Just because you bought a circle punch doesn't mean you will only make circles. You can cut them in half and quarters or use the circle as a background for other punched shapes. A leaf can be used for Fall projects or, with the right papers, a wedding card. You just have to play, and isn't that the fun part of crafting, playing with all our tools??
So, dig out your punches today and get creative, or come in and check out the fun new designs we have gotten in. We got some cool bracket and keyhole shapes yesterday, how fun does that sound.....but they are going fast, we sold two of the brackets as soon as they hit the floor!
Have a creative day

Stamps Stamps Stamps






See D's stamps have arrived along with the Inque Boutique. There are some really cool designs on these that you just have to see.


We also got these cute little stamps from See D's. They are only $1.15 per stamp, which is an awesome bargain. They measure 3X3 and have 1 to 12 images on each of the cards depending on the design. We have a Holiday set and an Everyday set. See D's stamps are all a colored rubber stamp with the image on the back so when you place it on your clear acrylic block you can see the image for placement. I have already bought some and made a Christmas card. They are easy to use and have a crisp image transfer.

Project TIme



Are you looking for a project to do? Here's a pretty little something you can do for Christmas or Fall this year, as a gift or just for you! This wreath is made with a foam floral wreath base, 2 yards of ribbon, 8 sheets of double sided patterned paper from Daisy Bucket, 168 straight pins, 336 punched flowers, 64 crystal gems and a battery operated candle.

I used a couple sizes of hand punches to punch out the flowers. I used 5 sheets of the paper to make the flowers and 3 sheets were used to cover the wreath base, but you could use paint or maybe moss to cover the base. Those fabulous Daisy Bucket papers have a really nice texture to it that makes it easy to mold the petals of the flowers before placing them on the base. It took me about 7 hours to do all the punching and pinning of the flowers and then placing the gems on the wreath.

You can get the paper, ribbon and gems at Picture This.

Cuttle Kid



How cute is this. I know, I go on and on about the CuttleBug, but this is one tool I am just wishing I had been able to buy a long time ago. This little bug is designed with kids in mind, but us adults know how much fun kids stuff can be...am I right?

We have more CuttleBug and CuttleKid dies on the way....the new designs are going fast. The cute animals are just too adorable to pass up! You could say...I went "quackers" over the Quinton the Duck die.

Wanna be a FISK-A-TEER??



Way back in July, at CHA, Stephenie H from FISKARS asked if I was or wanted to be a "Fisk-a-teer". I said "no I wasn't, but I'd love to be!" and figured it would just involve getting an invitation to their blog and see previews for new product and maybe a few more perks. Well, yesterday this little gem arrived in my mailbox. A pretty green and yellow handled pair of Fiskars scissors with my Fisk-a-teer number engraved on it. Packaged in a nice box lined with orange paper shreds and a cute little burlap baggie. I don't know if you're a joiner, but this group has lots of fun online at their blog: http://www.fiskateers.com/
Send them an email and find out for yourself!
They have live chats with different designers and have an awesome gallery to get inspiration from. You might want to check it out.
Of course, at Picture This we have lots of Fiskar's products. The Heidi Grace line (new papers that are gorgeous), cutting tools and much more.
