I am also SO Stinkin’ excited about the this new Paper Pack I got from Michael’s!!!!  It’s by K&Company which you all should know I absolutely ADORE!!!!!!!  AND – ARE YOU READY!?!?!  It’s 12×24!!!!!!!!!!!  Thats right I fell in love with the new K&Company “Hand Made Collection” out at CHA – and NOW I am buying it up!!! :)

K&Co 12x24 PaperIsn’t this Handmade K&Co 12″x24″ paper BEAUTIFUL!?!  I can not wait to start using it!!! :)

As recommended highly by KWernerDesign.com – Sassafrass Lass has these totally cool Stitching stamps!  They are called Stitchery – Take a look!  These stamps are going to be SOOOO Cute with the Handmade Paper Collection, don’t you think!?

In other news tonight, I am excited to be testing out Amy Chomas’s mini gel pen holders! :)   I am very happy to have the opportunity to test them out and let you all know what I think :)   I’ve heard great things – so I can’t wait to see how fun they are! :)   I am one of those guilty girls who has always put the rubber pencil holders around my mini gel pens, now I won’t have to do that!  SO Fun! :)

So I’m set for a weekend of TONS of FUN!!!!!!! :)   Hope you have a great weekend yourself – and Please – go ahead and tell me all about what you have planned!  I also love to know what others are up to – ESPECIALLY if its crafty related! :)

    I really want to get the Create A Critter cart it looks adorable! This weekend I will be using A Child’s Year (because you have bragged so much about it, I had to get it) to make a shadowbox for my baby cousin’s christening. I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

    I’m going to be watching my grandbaby all weekend. I would like to try out the spring mini’s I got last week. Would love to do some Easter layout for the baby but I find it hard to do a layout without having the pictures in hand. I’ve been doing this less than a year so maybe it will come more natural as I go.

    Megan you’re gonna love the stitching stamps !!! I have been playin around with them and it looks really neat if you put some zing embossing powder on them and spice em up :) When you figure out how to journal with the gel pens please let us know, I love the pens with the holder and an Allen wrench will become your new best friend to pop em out. I plan on doing nothing but scrapping all weekend so maybe we can send out creative vibes to each other :)

    I am going to be crafting most of the day today. I got new goodies in the mail also. Cricut rewards arrived on Thursday, new carts to play with!! My Cricut carts that would not link to my Gypsy arrived on Wednesday, so I am excited about those also. I will be working to finish up two swaps and get my carts loaded onto my gypsy. Great weekend for crafting! I am so excited to get to play.

    Sounds like a winner to me. Can’t wait to see the new videos of your new products. Also, want to know if you know anything about the Zutter hand held mulltiple hole puncher for book bindking. Saw it in a video and can’t remember what site it is from. Looked up Zutter on the puter and it only showed the multiple continuos rings for attaching the papar. Any suggestions?

    OMG the 12×24 paper looks awesome, just have to go look for it.
    Looking forward for you to demontrate the German Glass in one of your videos. I got the idea of holding the gel pens with the pencil holders from you, and it works alright. The original holders are a bit $$., but the’re on my long wishlist.The cartridge is amazing, also on my wishlist.
    I’m giving my Daughter Kim my undevided nursing atention this weekend. She just had 8 teeth removed for braces, poor thing, she has to take so many meds for pain, icepacks every hour. Maybe when she falls asleep I can get to my room and finish a few thank you cards I need to get done. Enjoy all the new goodies, I know I would be in heaven!!

    Was hoping to do some yard work this weekend but this morning is rather chilly with a brisk breeze. Gardening is my other Passtime besides papercrafts(I am a master gardener). Do want to try for pictures of my buttercups before they are gone for sure. Maybe later this afternoon. Wish there was a M’s here so I could get some of that 12 x 24 paper but the nearest one is 100 miles away.

    WOW – new toys sound so fun!!! I have ordered Create-a-Critter too and can’t wait to get my hands on it. I am in Overland Park, Kansas this weekend for a soccer tournament for my 10 year old son. Guess what I will be doing with my downtime?? Well, let me just say that within a 1 mile radius of my hotel there is a Michael’s, a JoAnn’s, a Hobby Lobby AND an Archivers!!!! Can you believe that?? Of course, I do not have coupons with me and there is no printer here, but that is ok. I totally want to move here!!!!!!!

    The paper’s are so pretty. I really like the German glass glitter. I can’t wait to see what you come up with. I don’t know what it is with me, but I feel so overwhelmed with all of the cute little cartridges and I just don’t know if I’d use them. I tend to be attracted to the types of carts like Storybook, Gypsy Wanderings, Serenade, and Sentimentals. I really want the dinosaur cart and would make cool dinosaurs with the colorful papers! Girly dinosaurs!

    Well, Megan you won’t believe what happened to me.
    Yesterday while walking my dogs, I fell and broke my foot! Bad part is we are leaving for a 2 week vacation tomorrow. So with wheel chair and crutches and walker in tow I will be getting on a ship and will cruise for 2 weeks. My doctor told me to just drink all the drinks that come with those cute little umbrellas and I’ll be fine! I’ll be on my computer checking out all the goodies you will be trying out too. So please post everything. Hope all is well with you! ciao, db:)

    Lil Green Bug – You KNOW you love me ;) ;) LOL

    Stitchery Stamps you can get at TwoPeasInABucket.com

    Create A Critter is on Pre-Order in several places right now and I’ve heard rumors of it coming in early to some – Craft-E-Corner.com, Hallmarkscrapbook.com, memorymisers.com etc…

    Sounds like many of you are having very successful weekends as well!! :) So fun!

    Monday I am going to have some REALLY fun posts going on over at CustomCrops.com – so you can come back here for that link or visit CustomCrops.com and click on the Projects link and look for my name! :)

    With 1st of April (April Fools day) I put together a card I literally glued it together(he! he!)I stamped the out with many different stamps, like Merry Christmas, Top of the Morning to You,Happy Birthday, & etc. and out lined them wit black. I used your design with the ink, to give some interest. I also put a tag that could be pulled out that says “April Fools”. I had to make about 15 of then and they are all different. It was alot of fun using all kinds of techniques. Wll hope you have aq great evening will write again soon.

    I am making 60 baby shower invitations using the cricit expression and new arrival cricut cartridge. I am leaving next weekend to go to Tenn. and Wilmington, N.C. going to visit family. I will be gone for two months and I am taking my cricut expression and Gypsy with me so I can show my friend what the cricut and Gypsy can do. I love showing people what I can do with my scrapbooking toys. Can’t wait to get my hands on a couple of the new cricut cartridges.

I’ve only had a chance to view a couple of your videos but have enjoyed the projects I’ve viewed! You inspired me to get my space organized and start scrappin’ and stampin’! I’m also a newly inducted cricut owner and haven’t figured out how to do much yet but your website sure has helped! Thank you and I look forward to future projects!
