All Caught Up!

It has taken me all week but finally all the outstanding orders from the Newbury Show last weekend are on their way to the PO and lots of the empty spaces on my walls and in my racks are filled again.

Want a quick peek!

Oh all right then....

New Graphic45 8x8 and coordinating 6x6 paper pads in Safari Adventure and Children's Hour with all the sizes of their brilliant Policy Envelopes in both the black and red - I can just see a smart envelope book with one of each size and colour for the pockets and pages... Hope to have the new Halloween in Wonderland Deluxe Designer Kits next week and am already chasing delivery dates for yesterday's reveals of the stunning Autumn collections, did you see the brilliant At The Races and St Nicholas collections, can't wait!

Next up all the Distress racks have been refilled, still no stock of Vintage Photo in the mini size but hopefully next week, and all the other colours in both sizes are here.

Also on the ink pad front.....

Versafine is fully restocked in both sizes, first time we have been able to get Smokey Grey in the full size pad for weeks....

...as too are the Versacolor cubes, great value for money and brilliant for the layering stamps which are the hot trend from several companies at the moment. The eagle eyed amongst you may have noticed we are now carrying the full range of Tsukineko's Ultimate Metallic cubes too, twelve shades of rich metallic pigments ideal for next season, which we are not mentioning, far too soon for the C word. Also a quick reminder we carry all the colours of StazOn inkpads at £5.70 for the standard colours NOT the £7.50 charged by a certain large craft superstore!

Ok on to the stamp walls, first up Tim Holtz...

Cats, birds, coffee cups, skylines, butterflies, stencils and mixed media dies #2 and #3 are all back in stock. Unfortunately still no Showtime, Wildflowers or Garden Flowers so I will reorder (again) next week. BTW did you catch the sneak peeks of the new dog stamps this morning? So cute!

On to PaperArtsy.......

Just a little range of Lin Brown stamps and stencils plus some JOFY, beautiful florals from Elizabeth Borer and the newest Darcy stencil. Love PaperArtsy stamps but as PaperArtsy themselves exhibit at all the same shows we do, we have decided to limit our stocks to just a dozen or so lines at a time but we will mix them up so there will always be something different.

P.S. We have their Crackle Glaze in stock too now!

And finally as they say, Kaisercraft's newest A6 stamps, three more designs from BoBunny (love the Falling Hearts and Stars), and some new Summer lines from Hero Arts plus all the ever popular Stamp and Cut sets back in stock. Forgot to photograph them but we also have all the Prima Doily and Leaves dies back in stock and are expecting their beautiful new Rossi Belle collection papers and flowers in about three weeks. Meantime I almost forgot to mention the new Homegrown collection from the fabulous 7Dots Studio, full of rosy pinks, dark greens and greys, delicious and so useable. We have all the papers, die cuts, stickers, and word bands in stock and the stamps should be here next week.

My desk is laden with lovely things to choose from for new workshop projects so it will be a very busy weekend but a most enjoyable one here. Why not pop on down and checkout the new stock and maybe get a sneaky peek of some of the new projects in the pipeline. See you soon Valx

Hello June!

Well, here we are in June already and as my perpetual calendar says, officially the first day of Summer. I don't know how the weather is where you are but it is pretty chilly and very wet here so....

........to cheer things up we finally have these in stock.

All 48 of the Distress Ink colours are now here in the mini size, in open stock. The price is £2.40 each and we have a very special introductory offer of one each of all 48 colours for just £79.95, bargain!

If that doesn't give you enough trouble choosing, we also have these......

......four of the new monthly colours in the full size, January to April and even better we are holding the price at £4.75. Unfortunately May's release missed my shipment by a day but it should be with us in the next week or so with some more lovely goodies.

I haven't managed to get the June workshop schedule posted yet, a combination of a mislaid diary and the very lovely wedding our eldest son last weekend in Cardiff Castle.

Here is a quick snap of the new Mr & Mrs MacLeod just after they signed the register. It was a wonderfully happy weekend and, despite a few hitches, everything was beautiful with some very clever and thoughtful touches that made it so individual. Huge thanks to everyone involved and to all of you who sent your best wishes.

A special mention for the flower arrangements which were stunning, in the chapel for the ceremony, in the library for the reception and in the area used for the party in the evening. Again, very cleverly thought through with white roses for an English rose combined with thistles for the Scottish half of the partnership. I will enjoy these on my desk for a few more days.

That's all for now, if you want any of the new Distress Inks and can't get to the studio, just email me, we only ever charge what Royal Mail charges us for postage.

Thank you for dropping by x
