WOW! Do we have a Friday lined up for you at Art 'n Soul. You'll want to make sure you drop in tomorrow because we had 3 small orders arrive today, and 2 big orders arrive tomorrow! Yahoo!

• Stampscapes is in
• IMAGINE Crafts/Tsukineko is in
• Hero Arts is in

And tomorrow . . .

• Magenta arrives with several of the stamps shown in their latest catalog release!
• Notions arrives and that means the Making Memories Envelope Punch Boards; envelope glue; Martha Stewart acrylic paints that are so popular with Gelli Plate artists; more of the acrylic dots; and a small introduction of Wink of Stella glitter pens.

Dianne's very anxious to show you everything; she's been waiting all week!

Two new paper pads from Authentique were taken to the store yesterday . . . yes, the first one is Christmas paper! After I return from the CHA show in Las Vegas, I'll start ordering the Christmas and Halloween papers so you might get a head start on the holiday projects.

"Second card with the NEW dies! For this card I only used part of the die. It comes with one solid and two overlays in one set."

by Judi Kauffman for Elizabeth Craft Designs
"Elizabeth Craft Designs is the featured company in The Cutting Edge, an article with projects in Scrap & Stamp Arts Magazine, September 2013 issue. Our kimono die appears in all of the projects, the trellis is in one of them. Here's a sneak peek at my favorite card with a Shimmer Sheetz and adhesive-backed Velvet sheet kimono, papers and stickers from BoBunny. I really like how Judi Kauffman (who wrote the article and designed the projects) used papers and stickers that were not from Asian theme collections, but nevertheless had colors and patterns that worked in that direction."

Isn't this weather beautiful? If it gets too warm at your place, come on over to Art 'n Soul where you can enjoy a nice cool environment . . . cool temperature and cool creativity in abundance. You'll like it!

P.S. I just had to share this photo . . . love the umbrella covering!
