I am sooo excited. Memory Box has just launched a new "Color of the Month" program with their colored A2 Cards and Matching Envelopes that Bella Carta at Art 'n Soul is now subscribed to.

January's color is "Velvet Rose" that Memory Box has printed for January and it coordinates with Tsukineko's Brilliance Pearlescent Coral ink (one of my personal favorites!).

"We've printed a special color we are calling "Velvet Rose"for the month of January!"

I've ordered the package and can't wait to share it with you. In addition to the special-colored notecards, they're also sending one of the patterned Bubblegum papers and Peapod papers as part of the program. I added some other patterned paper, too. It's all perfect for your Valentine projects.



Els has been so busy creating new samples of her soon-to-be available peel-off designs for Elizabeth Craft Designs.

"This is my third new design! Can't wait to make all the pieces I am
coloring into 'real' cards!
This one will be beautiful on clear acetate with the
Sakura Glaze Pens as well."

"Another pot from the New Peel Off that will be available from the 5th of January! Again Copic on top of Highlight glitter. Can't wait to put them together as a card. I see blue or green Iris Shimmer Sheetz as a background, embossed with an embossing folder with dots and then sand the Shimmer Sheetz using a sanding block which will make the dots white. Well, will post the card when I am back home:)!"

Making a Santa's list is in the past. The to-do list before the year's end is the present. And what for future? How about a list of all the creative and artistic ideas and projects you'd like to try in 2012? Then come on over to Art 'n Soul and see how we can help you realize them with all of the fine-art rubber stamps, dies, peel-offs, chalks, Prismacolor pencils, Copic markers, beautiful ribbons, gorgeous paper, stencils, inks, bling, and other products available or to-be-ordered. What's unique about Art 'n Soul is we think 'outside the box'.
