A Spot o' Fun
Hello from sunny Indiana the home of Indiana sweet corn - and it's in season!

So now I'm in a summery mood, with a lovely peachy website (yeah yeah, I'm still babbling on about that) and some brand new flash on the front page!  Did you see it?  It looks like this but it moves.

Flashy PaperWhimsy

Oh how happy can one clam be?

So I thought I'd drop in right quick all summer breezey-like with some neat little tidbits from PaperWhimsy and something kind of fun, too.

Oh, glorious day!  Shall we go see what this is all about?

Special Girl Close

 New Digisheets...

Digisheet 043I have been so busy cooking up new digisheets.  What a joy to finally find a use for those hundreds and hundreds of photos I snap every year while we're on vacation.  And now I can justify buying that new lens I've had my eye on... or not... since I just bought that camera I had my eye on a couple months ago.  Hey ho.

So, there are probably 12 new digis along with several of the old favorites that I just did not have time to play with and load while Draw and I were working on the new website a couple weeks back.  Which, if I may say so myself, that new website is the bomb!

Pretty easy to navigate?  Any problems completing your orders?  Able to find all the goodies tucked in every nook and cranny?   We are definitely Pretty in Peach!

Above is a little close up of one of the brand new sheets: Digisheet 043 - Rande has been tapping me on the shoulder every day or so and whispering her wishlist in my ear and I've been working on it.  Also got some great ideas from Patti and Jan - thank you, ladies.  I hope to have those butterflies in the shoppe by the weekend.  (A gal cannot have too many butterflies).

Below is my first Digi Sampler - lots of great backgrounds to use in your art - there are some really nice detail shots in the product description so you can see exactly what's in the sampler pack.

New Digi Sampler

You can see all the new digis along with the kind of new ones, and a few old favorites now available in digi, by taking a wander over to the shoppe.  And in a minute I'm going to give you a gentle little nudge with something fun.  But in a minute.  Let's take a peek at something else...
 Scrummy Yummy...

Remember when I just arrived home from England and I listed these amazing texture samplers by the amazing Stef Francis?  And then they were gone in less than two weeks?  Well... they're back.  With a vengeance.
Stef Francis Texture Samplers
An order has just arrived from England a few days ago, with the addition of 12 new colorways - a total of 24 different samplers.  These fibers are just so lovely, so rich... if you're into fibers you won't want to miss these.  It takes a while to get these in so if you've a hankerin' to have them, you might not want to put off tucking a few away lickety split,  even if you're not exactly sure how you're going to use them.  Chances are, once you put your hands on them, you're going to be filled with a torrent of creative ideas!  You'll find them in the Fibers section.

A few more peeks at some of the other colors available, shall we?

Besides Collage Sheets...

And what else?

Well, the Tim Holtz Word Keys are putting in an encore performance however brief it may be.  They sell out quickly and have been hard to come by.  Another one of those very dear products that nobody seems to be able to do without.

TH Word Keys


And now Tim's come out with Sprocket Gears.  Not to be confused with those itty bitty watch innards that come in the tiny tins - these are nice sized gears that won't get lost in your artwork.  Very cool!

Sprocket Gears


By 7Gypsies just got these in - little metal tags for your ATCs or other art.  Also very cool - something a little different from those talented Bohemians.  You'll find all these great bits in Embellishments.
Metal Tags


And more great things from 7Gypsies...  Love these clear stamps!  You'll find these and others in The Necessities.

Nottinghill Stamps

There's so much more I can't remember it all.  Thank goodness we still have that... you know what... just click on NEW GOODIES.

 How about a little fun?

I've been crazy about digis the last several weeks and in my snooping around my computer I found this cute little face and thought, hey... what a cute little face.  Once upon a time she was Sheet No. 2. 

Special Girl

And, now she's Special Digi 01.  Hidden in a secret place in the shoppe.   Oooo... that sounds fun, doesn't it?

In order to find this cute little poppet and take her home with you (and yep, that's the plan) all you need to do is spend at least $30 in the shoppe not including shipping charges.  Once you've done that, I will flip the secret magic switch in the little PaperWhimsy cupboard and when you sign back into your shoppe account she will suddenly appear!  I'll tell you where to look once that secret switch has been flipped.

When you find her, you add her to your shopping cart (don't bother inserting a dollar amount in the empty price field unless you want to pay for her) and click on the "Check out" button.   You'll receive your free download link within 24-hours.

In no time at all you'll be downloading, printing and creating with this adorable little face.

Fine print: This is a limited time offer, expiring at midnight,  Monday, August 4, 2008.  Your order must be at least $30.00 not including shipping.  Once processed, you must download your digisheet within 96 hours, at which time the download key will expire.
TTFN ...

'Tis time to bid adieu until for now.  Please stay tuned for even more nifty additions to the PaperWhimsy shoppe - they seem to be occuring daily.

Have a lovely evening, morning, afternoon... have a lovely, creative life!

Hugs,
Gale
