Bonus Stuff!

Sharon sent these photos out after I posted my blog for last Thursday and I didn't want to wait for a week to share. We have new Graphic 45, Avery Elle and a little something for St. Patrick's Day. Also, if you get our Facebook or emails you might have seen that Sharon went on a decorating spree. It happens every spring! Sharon comes back from Creativation and not only do we change things up in preparation for new arrivals, Sharon switches the store around. This year did not disappoint! I'll show you some before and afters! First up some new product!

This is the gorgeous new collection from Graphic 45. Look at the vibrancy of those colors!  We have a few paper packs left and we do have single sheets of many of the papers along with ephemera, but it is going fast!

The other collection is the Blue Seas collection. Equally gorgeous as the first, this collection is all hues of blue with starfish, octopus, and other sea creatures and  images. It also comes in paper packs, single sheets and ephemera.

We may be jumping the blarney stone here but it's never too late to start your St. Patrick's day cards especially if you are going into card making withdrawal after the holidays! We have paper, embellishments, dies and stamps.

Avery Elle is up next with some really cute Easter and regular sentiment stamps and matching dies. I'm a sucker for a dog card! Did you know the Westminster Kennel Club Show is tonight and tomorrow night on FS1?

Adorable fairies are always popular with little girls.

Love this little guy!

As I walked back and forth I spied these adorable NEW wooden gnomes! Who needs leprechauns!

On to the changes! Sharon had all of us (including Mark to help with the heavy lifting and power tools) re-arranging, rebuilding and repurposing new and old fixtures! 

PAPER ADDICTS ALERT! - we marked down A LOT of 12x12 patterned papers. You'll find them in the sale cubes at the back left hand side of the store! This pile is close to 4 inches tall!

The back table took a big hit. There was barely space for the phone!

Even Sadie was forced to come in and work. She's an excellent guard dog!

Sharon re-arranged and justified papers according to colors creating a new space along the wall for even more stamps and a little ledge for product. You will find black, white, grays and other neutral pattern papers here.

The biggest change is in the front of the store. Sharon found a table on Facebook and spent a whopping $25! Then the decorating began. Add a crochet lace table cloth, a vintage typewriter and some more embellishments and viola! Our new store welcome table!



Our towers were rearranged too. We took out the paper racks and used the space for stamps! Here is Art Impressions new home!

Washi tape! What you can do, simply and easily with these large rolls of Washi has to be seen. Check out our samples. What are you waiting for? We had a class and Pinterest is always a great place to start. Check out the manufactures website for the tape you like the best. I guarantee there will be samples to give you some ideas.

Another re-imagined storage spot!

 I will be back on Thursday with more new stuff, new store pictures and news from the best stamp store in New York! See you then!
