New Paper Company - AUTHENTIQUE

We're thrilled to introduce a brand new paper company to you...meet Authentique. We are one of the first stores to carry their products!



Their paper is made of the finest quality (go ahead, touch it!) and the embellishments are very nicely priced :)

The four introductory lines include Blissful, Journey, Uncommon and Splendid.





And, all come with a 6x6 paper pad :)



Here's a close up of some of the embellishments from the Journey collection. The larger embellishments are only $1.99 and the smaller (including alphabet stickers) are $0.99!



I know it's a bit blurry (sorry!), but here's a picture of where you can find Authentique.

And...I think you'll love the rub-ons that coordinate with these lines...

The Girls' Paperie

Happy Monday!

Let us introduce two new colelctions to you...Paper Girl and Holiday. Up until last year, Margie used to design for Making Memories. She has since branched off and started her own line, called The Girls' Paperie. Here are a few sample layouts made with her papers :)

Instant Journaling!

New to Beach Scrapbooks...Quick Quotes!

Quick Quotes is a company that provides instant journaling for your scrapbooks and projects. We've got LOTS of new quotes and sayings that cover a wide variety of subjects...from babies to grandparents, scrapbooking to football.

Use these vellum quotes with a little dab of clear glue in each corner (Glossy Accents works great!), brads, eyelets or regular adhesive (cover the adhesive up with an embellishment like a flower).

Also available are new Powder Puff inks...perfect for inking the sides of vellum to give it a finished look. They also work great on paper, cardstock, chipboard and canvas.

Click on the picture to the left to enlarge...it's one of our favorites!

And coming in at #10...

...is not one product, but several! We found lots of EMBELLISHMENTS that we simply couldn't live without. We'll highlight a few here...

One company that has tons of fabulous finds is Prima. Lots of flowers, pearls and bling are coming your way!


Who doesn't love BUTTONS?!? We have a big jar on our counter that now houses nearly 10,000 buttons in all different colors and sizes. Go head, take the top off and stick your hand in there. The best part? Each button is only 10 cents!

Another fabulous find is the new QuicKutz Vinyl. New colors include cream and silver (perfect for Christmas). But, the really sweet new vinyl is FUZZY! It comes in black, white and brown. Look in our QuicKutz section for a card with the cutest little fuzzy brown and white teddy bear! And, we're anxious to see what kind of Halloween creations you can make with the black fuzzy vinyl. In-stock now and just right for fuzzy black bats!

How about a little smooch?!? Hey now, not that kind of smooch! Smooch inks come in these sleek nail polish look alike containers and are available in several colors. Simply use the foam tip applicator to brush the color on whatever surface you desire...paper, cardstock, clay, glass and fabric. It's completely acid free and archival safe.
(Please note that we have already sold out of our first order of Smooch...well, almost...there are 3 bottles left. But...don't fret...we have reordered a second round!)

Mud Puddles is a new concept to scrapbooking and card making. It looks and feels JUST like SAND (and it's acid free and archival safe)! Simply add the color sand that you want and let it dry overnight. It's totally flexible after it dries and will not crumble or fall off your project. Seriously, you'll be amazed at how much it looks like real sand! Coming soon...

Dew Drops are another sweet find. They are lightly colored jewels that add dimension to your scrapbook pages and cards. They look great when highlighting subjects such as flowers, autumn leaves and water. Click here to check out their blog for some sample ideas.

Ta Da!

We'd like to introduce you to a new vendor...Ta Da Creative Studios! This collection, Twinkly Tidings, is absolutely beautiful. It's much nicer in person than on this blog...it's got a very slight, elegant shimmer to it AND it's double sided. Also, there are 2 die cut cardstock sheets that nicely compliment the paper.

Come in, check it out, and let us know what you think!

October Afternoon

Another new vendor for us...October Afternoon! You've probably seen them featured in magazines as a hot, new company for 2008 :)

Come in and check out their Hometown collection. And, there are more collections coming out soon...stay tuned!
