Bella Carta at Art 'n Soul

This is a new paper line for Bella Carta at Art 'n Soul. When I saw it offered by Crafter's Companion, I couldn't resist ordering it. This paper comes in pads of A4-sized papers . . . a little less than 8-1/2" wide and more than 11" wide . . . 16 designs and 3 sheets of each for a total of 48 sheets in the pad. The price is only $15.25.

I took photos of some of the designs.

I hope you like these as much as I do. When I left the store Saturday night, there were 4 tablets left. I'm happy to order more if you like the paper!

Jeanne Jachna came up with a terrific idea for using blocks of color that are inlaid with a die cut. From the PoppyStamps blog . . .

I just love the leaf stamps from Magenta's latest release. I don't know if we have any more of these left at the store, but please check. If we don't have it in stock, Magenta is on open catalog status right now.

So the pumpkin carriage calls. Before I turn in, though, I am going to step outside and try to take pics of the Super Moon that is shining brightly in the clear evening sky!
