....CHA is going great! Some highlights.....
1 - The Making Memories SLICE - wow this is amazing...everyone will love it! It's like a compact Cricut... easy to take to crops! Check out the lengthy description on our website under MM New products and they also have a link to watch the demo on the MM Site! Next week we will start pre-ordering these with some discounts...so make sure you watch for that!!
2 - The Crop - A - Dile BIG BITE II - I got to play with a little bit...then triple increased my January order when they GUARANTEED me I would be amoungst the first stores to receive it. Their first shipment is 95% sold out. More good news....they moved the date up to the last week in February!! woohoo!!! If you haven't pre-ordered yours yet... better do so to get it in this first batch because the next shipment isn't coming until the end of April!
3 - MM is adding on to their noteworthy line...2 new theme's that you will love!! There is also the "Animal Crackers" line...oh man...ADORABLE new baby line! Also a new Baby idea book....cute stuff as always...they never let us down!
4 - BasicGrey has 5 new lines all coming in March I think it was....Boxer, Sultry, Sugared, Archaic, Cupcake...again, images coming this week on our site!
5 - I LOVED the new My Mind's Eye papers so much more after touching them and seeing them in person...wow...shimmer paper...the Wild Asparagus4 is even thicker cardstock this time...more like the 1st line was!! This is coming in about 10 days or so...they are waiting on one more thing to arrive!
6- Chatterbox...it was SO GREAT to see the Chatterbox booth back up and running and to visit with Justin and Melody and to see smiles on their faces! They tell me the two companies are keeping seperate in the design area...just one warehouse and billing department. I ordered all of their new line...so check out the website for images coming really soon! I think the 'happy day' line is my favorite!
7 - Bazzill has another bling line coming out called Birthstones that I really like! They also have some great new ribbons sold by the yard that I think are my favorite yet! New cardstock with an edge colors, and 2 new templates for the In Stitchez program...by the way...the old templates are 'on the boat' as we speak and should be here in 10-14 days, for those of you that have them on backorder. Bazzill also has 2 new albums coming out...one is a limited edition 8x8, and the other is 12x12, but what I like about the bigger one is that it comes with some page refills that hold 5 4x6 pictures...so you know when you go on vacation and come back with 200 pictures and only want to scrap 15 of them....these pages can be put in the middle or end of your LO as a simple way to add those other pictures you don't want to throw away, but dont want to scrap!! I LOVED IT!! Bazzill also has a new idea book out too.... great as always...I really like their idea books that give creative ways to use cardstock without having a million time consuming embellishments all over the LO.
8 - Doodlebug OF COURSE has a really cute new line coming out in April. They have now joined in with the 'flock world'. Flocked papers, brads, ribbons, powder....etc. I loved it all!
9 - Creating Keepsakes.....LOTS of new Idea Books coming of course-Lisa has a new one coming, so does Becky....they gave me a copy of the "About A Girl" book/album. I THINK IT'S SO CUTE!!! I bought enough for the store...plus one for each of my 9 nieces! I'm starting them out YOUNG with a love of scrapbooking! My next nieces scrapbooking day with be with these books.....they get to 'tell their story' with their own handwriting by filling in the blanks, and adding pictures!
10 - Queen & Company has more felt...holy cow I didn't know all the things you could do with felt! All of theie shoes and aprons had hot pink felt borders all over it! My husband told them to call up croc's and try to market it with them!! new brads....same stuff as usual, new colors...liked it all!
Ok....that's the update for today....more later!
