The big Magenta order arrived yesterday . . . come and look while the selections are still aplenty. Susie made some more art on the acrylic tiles which were also part of the delivery; the beautifully colored tiles are on the front counter.


We seem to have depleted our supply of the Classic Crest Solar White 80 lb. paper that we all love to use. After Dianne's SOS alert this afternoon, I talked to the supply house and I will be driving up on Monday to pick up a new supply. You will now be able to purchase this terrific paper in individual sheets or by the ream (250 sheets) at Art 'n Soul. We all used to run up to Paper Zone for this special paper, and now we're so delighted to be able to offer it to you here!


From Els at Elizabeth Craft Designs . . . look at this beautiful card using watercolor paper as the base.

"I want to share the finished card with the Distress Markers with you. I put a strip of the Be Creative tape on white cardstock and used a matching color of our Glitter Ritz micro fine glitter. Then took a piece of Transfer Sheet and transferred the negative parts of the Peel Off onto the strip of glitter. Added a Happy Birthday and some gold lines as borders which brings it all together." -- Els


And then look at these . . . the Be Creative Tape adhesive sheets are back in stock. After looking at these beautiful cards, you may want to make sure you have a supply of these tapes because they tend to sell out quickly.


"Ladies I can play with Shimmer Sheetz all day! If you start playing with the alcohol inks you will be excited, then you emboss the piece and you will be more excited and then you either sand it with a sanding block or rub it with the StazOn and you wil be stunned:)! Just have fun!!" -- Els

The mucinex seems to be helping somewhat, but any kind of activity spurs on the coughing, so I'm off to bed early again tonight. I promise those photos from the last Inchies Club meeting and John's box class will appear soon.

I'm planning to take Gwen Evans' Earth Art class tomorrow morning (Saturday) at Art 'n Soul that I have been waiting to enjoy for a long, long time. Don't forget the free Earth Art Demo Open Trunk Show by Gwen between 1:00 and 2:30 tomorrow afternoon (Saturday).
