New Luxe Paper

Just got this super fun color me paper from Luxe. It comes black and white and you just add color. We used Zig markers and stickles on the cupcakes to brighten up this one.

Train to Chicago

This picture has absolutely nothing to do with anything except that it was my first train ride to Chicago. Meaghan and I were like typical tourists taking pictures on the train. Everyone thought we were weird but hey, it was fun.

New Reminisce

Ok. So I'm really bad at getting product pictures on the blog. I'm gonna figure it out yet, but here's a sampling of a new winter line from Reminisce. We made a Christmas card hanging box with this and it turned out great. Of course the winter pages will be super fun too. The Halloween arrived as well but I'm not sold on it. I'm curious as to what you will think of the hallographics. The school line is due to arrive in August and it is soooo cooooool. I can't wait to do samples. Enjoy. I can't get the images any closer together. sorry. check the newsletter for better pics.

Scrap-N-Stow

I just got my scrap-n-stow today and it's awesome!!!! Here's a picture of the newest and greatest from CHA Chicago show. You can see it and play with it in the store, but you've got to order yours. The company has sold out until September. They will ship it right to your house. It'll be on your Christmas gift list for sure. It is super light weight and folds down flat to stow away.

Attention Stampers

This is a picture of us on the last day of the show with our new friends from a new company called Unity Stamps. If you are a stamper you have got to check them out on their website (http://www.unitystampco.com/). Their are photos that show exactly what they do/have. They have a new system for stamping that I think you'll love and Angela has some great designs too.

Cumstomized Paper

Guess what? I have figured out how to make custom paper. We now have Canton, Salem, Plymouth, Canton Lions, Plymouth-Canton Steelers, and Detroit Tigers paper!! I also just had a grandma order paper with her granddaughter's name! I am now able to do just about any custom wording.

I'm working on the new web site in between the Kiwi craziness and post CHA show fun so you'll e able to order online soon. In the meantime you can stop in to see me and pick your colors and fonts!

We're Home

We're back from the show and ready to roll. We saw so much awesome product and met some really awesome people. We'll be working this week getting some images of what we bought so that you can see why we're so excited about the new goodies.
I'm also putting together a post CHA sales. I need to make some room! Stay tuned.

Kiwi Monkey

We're finally ready to let everyone in on the secret we've been keeping since CHA Anaheim. We've started a new company called Kiwi Monkey to compliment Scrapbook Mania. We've always been famous for our fabulous and amazing designs and we know how little time that most of our shoppers have, so we've combined our product with our talent and started Kiwi Monkey to do the work for you. We will continue to make great premade pages and we'll add in fun gift and home decor items as well. If the buzz created by the Art in the Park is any indication of what people think, I'd say we're right on target with this one.

I am having the entire web site redesigned and you'll be able to buy product from us through Kiwi Monkey- as soon as I can get it done. Be patient, we're going as fast as we can.

It's Been So Long....Art Fair

I can't believe that it's been this long since our last post! Sorry for that. We've been working like crazy getting ready for this weekend's art fair. For anyone that hasn't heard, we have been selected to display our wares at the 2nd largest art fair in Michigan-the Plymouth Art in the Park. The art fair is this weekend, July 11, 12, and 13. We are going to be on the corner of Ann Arbor Trail and Forest-an unbelieveable spot! Come and visit to see what all this "Kiwi Monkey" stuff is all about. We'll have the most amazing canvases, several sizes of acrylic paint cans, wall plaques, clocks, trays, nesting boxes, jewlery boxes, frames, a few braggables, clipboards, acrylic and chipboard books-premade and naked, and tons of our fabulous pages. I'm sure I forgot a few things. The customers that have gotten sneak peak are gonna be the first in line. The team really outdid themselves with this one. This is Meaghan and Sara setting up the tent for a trial run in our crop room.See you Friday!
