New Kits Tonight!!!

And "NEW" is the key word. . .

This month's Papercrafting Kit is filled to the rim with new JBS product (individual product will not be available on our site until March)!! See the full listing at the site. . .


This month's Project Kit is this sweet wall hanging featuring our new rhinestone buttons, label strip stickers and tiny alpha rub-ons (and some fab vintage rosary chain)!!


And, in limited quantities, this month's Add-On kit is full of vintage goodness (lots of labels and coupons)!

Sorry for the delay in the previews! We just got back from show on Thursday and I'm still recuperating. I wouldn't trade going for anything though- I LOVE getting to meet people. Which by the way. . .

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! I can't tell you how much our business has grown thanks to YOU! So many stores come in our booth and say they were specifically sent there by their customers. You might not think it's a big deal to let the stores know what you want to see, but it is. They listen and we are thankful. You guys are the best!!

Check out the new kits in just a little while - midnight central time zone!!

Day 4 preview (and the final one!). . .

Here is another little sample I came up with (also happens to be the Project Kit for February)!

This project features the last 3 of my new product lines:

Cardstock Label Strip Stickers - you get the 4 large label stickers you see here on one sheet. Comes in 4 colors.

Old School Tiny Alpha Rub-Ons - come in 6 colors and they are super tiny ( but not too tiny to use)! Fit perfectly in all of our label and journaling products.

And finally, the one I've been waiting my whole life for(ha!), rhinestone buttons!

I am a huge button collector, no secret, and one of the things I love most about the old buttons were the cards they came on (You won't want to throw this packaging away)! What I like the least about many old buttons are the shanks. So guess what? These are not only shankless, but self-adhesive. Be still my heart! They come in 6 colors.

And I loved Anilu's post that said "please don't make us wait"! Silly girl! Don't you know we never go to show without 100% of the product in house? As of 2:00 this afternoon every piece is in and accounted for. And of course some pieces will show up in the kits next month, but many of you will see it in your local stores even before the kit hits your doorstep (good thing since I can only pick one style/or color for the kit)!

I've got the cowboy boots packed and all is ready to go. Californian here we come!

(P.S. - I'll say hi to Paris for you. Did you know she was debuting a crafting line)?

Round 3. . .

So here's a little something I put together with the new stuff. . .


It features at least 2 more products you haven't seen. . .




New Large Alpha Cardstock Stickers (4 styles available - Red Trim is shown on the layout).

And. . .

Pearl Flowers (this is Cantaloupe. Maraschino is shown on the layout). The packaging is super cute on these - so very tiny! Just like candy!

Thanks for all of your comments! I'm really excited about this show!!

A little preview. . .

Of course I was supposed to start this on Friday! I'm a little late.



Introducing "The Farmer's Wife". Such muted, happy colors! I am getting ready to play with it now and make some samples. I think these are my favorite Journaling Cards of all time (and I HAD to buy some red cowboy boots just for "promotion", you know)?
More each day!
For my wholesale customers. . . look for a newsletter tomorrow with info. on ordering and show specials.
