Did you set your clocks back?

That was a question I got on my morning feed. My answer, kinda sorta - not exactly. Our phones and TV's automatically adjust for Daylight Savings time. The oven, microwave, my kitchen wall clock and the car - not so much. Plus, you need someone under the age of 30 to understand the directions for making all those changes! 

Sharon was looking forward to the Bills game for more than the obvious reason. Mark was going to the game and Sharon was looking forward to holing up in her craft room to finish several projects and to play catch up after a very busy week topped with Stamp Camp on Saturday and continuing Monday and Tuesday. She may still have some kits available if you'd like to do Stamp Camp on your own as the kit comes with directions.

Because of all this busyness Sharon had a quick product reveal on Saturday. I missed her live but was able to catch up while I watched the Bills on Sunday. Let's get started. First up is lots of fun for your shaker cards from This Calls for Confetti. Sharon got in a large variety of sequins, clay pieces and more. There are snowflakes, trees, Santas, dog bones and paw prints and lots more. I'm seriously addicted to these things and have no resistance when new designs come in.

Gina K came in and we have this stamp set that would work great with Waffle Flower's postage stamp die and stencil.
We also got in the Cutting Mats for Gina's die cut machine and we have a few of those in stock too!

When Sharon can find Hanukah items she always orders them. I have a dear friend who is getting into card making and I plan on getting this and mailing it down to Florida for her.
This is a lovely set for Christmas.
Echo Park/Carta Bella is up next with two new paper collections. The first is Winter Wonderland. These papers are textured and a thicker weight.
Love this, Chilling with my Snowmies!
We sometimes forget that Echo Park also does dies. Here are the ones that have just come in.

Sharon is switching from Daniel Smith to Willow Wolfe watercoloring brushes, paints and papers.

Bella Blvd. has a new collection that features two paper designs for every month. This is a great idea if you like to chronicle your family memories by month. You can also use this collection to create a calendar gift. Sharon has the full year packs and a few loose months, November, December and March. Each full pack also has a coordinating sticker sheet. We also have Bella's Bella-Pops. Similar to Doodlebug's Doodle Pops these are great for cards and can easily be incorporated into scrapbook pages.


I think this is another Gina K stamp. This design, a row of birch tress is a multi use stamp that you will use more than you think. For me, it's a required stamp in my stash.
Sharon created several cards and I believe a class is in these designs future.
Last up for the day is two new collections from Graphic 45. The first is based on Alice in Wonderland called 'Curiouser and Curiouser'.  I'm showing a variety of single pages along with their backsides and die cut and extras.

More cut-aparts.
The second collection is called 'Season to Celebrate'. There are four season sheets, each has the same design but is a different color family.











That's it for Sharon and me for this week. We still have Halloween papers and supplies but we will be moving them to make room for new Christmas product. Next up will be Christmas cards. Do you have your card design ready? I bet there are at least two to three of you who already have their cards done! I'm in scrapbooking mode as my bi-annual retreat is a week or two away. My cards will come after that. 

Here's my funny for the week.
Have a great week everyone. I'll throw it in now after a great win today - GO BILLS!  Get crafty and above all Stay Safe and VOTE!
