Greetings, friends!
Wow! It's May!
OK, now that we've all had a chance to get that into our heads, let's talk about what's going on this month. We will be CLOSED two days in May: Sunday, May 13 for Mother's Day and Monday, May 28 for Memorial Day. We will be open our regular hours on the remainder of Memorial Day weekend, so hopefully we'll get to see you soon! Fondly,
Angela |

Stacy Rich Returns!
Stacy Rich, owner of Stacy Stamps, was here a couple of years ago leading two fabulous demos. This year, she returns on Tuesday, June 5 for a full day of fun! She's loading up the "family truckster" and will be bringing a trunk show of her wonderfully detailed stamps as well as her box & envelope templates! She'll lead our FREE demo from 12 -2 (reservations are not required - just stop in), then teach a couple of new workshops: All-Occasion Cards from 3-5 and Stained Glass Cards from 6:30 - 8:30. We should have the actual class samples in the store soon, but meanwhile, stop in and see the fabulous wall art/shadow box Stacy created using her stamps and other fun finds. It's hanging on the wall by the register, and it's fantastic - like a little mini vacation!
Plus, be sure to check out our other new class offerings for June! |

Ranger Distress Inks!
Ranger has done it again! This time it was a bit of a "sneak attack". Usually, we being hearing rumors of must-have new product months before it hits the stores, but not this time. Almost as soon as the new Limited Edition Distress Inks were announced, we had them here! The new colors are Peacock Feathers, Squeezed Lemonade and Shaded Lilac. Beautiful! But possibly more exciting is that they've also released reinkers - not only for this set, but also for the Fall and Winter sets as well. We ran out of reinkers almost immediately, but have placed a follow up order, so let us know if you'd like us to pull some for you when they arrive. As I write this, we still have the pads available in the shop..... |

What's New?
The Great Impressions board for May is adorable! As always, the stamp of the month is available at 50% off for the entire month, and it is used on all of their card samples - versatile! It seems like needing to make baby cards comes in waves, and I'm in one of those waves right now - timing couldn't be better! Stop in and see the cuteness!
We are also, I hesitate to say it, heavily stocked on Memory Box and Poppy Stamp dies. You may want to stop in just to see what an impressive collection of dies Dave has created just in the last 6 months or so. It's a wall-full and then some. But don't delay - you know these dies "self-destruct in 5 seconds" (Ok, that doesn't actually happen, but they don't last long here in the shop).
Hero Arts has started a monthly release of stamps, and we have the Birthday theme, created for May. We also have new stamps from Michael Strong (with lots of card samples I made at the trade show in March), Hampton Arts, Inky Antics (come see their new Honeypop board - wow!) and more! We hope you'll always find something inspirational when you walk through the doors - but if you don't, be sure to let us know. We are always happy to special order items for you to save you the shipping! |
