Hero Arts 2014 Catalog Debut
 
The Hero Arts 2014 catalog debut is here!  Stop in and browse the catalog - some of the new things we are most excited about are the Chalkboard images and the new neon sprays!  Plus, there are new colors of daubers and stamps that are designed to work simply with the daubers!  Come see the complete collection! 

What's New?!

We have two new boards to inspire you!  The first is from Inky Antics - wonderful images to color for all occasions.   

The second is new Tin Pins.  We simply can't get enough of them.  So stinkin' cute!!

These are here now, as are new Valentine designs from Penny Black!  We are also anticipating deliveries (another benefit of being open next week - we can still get packages - YAY!) from Northwoods (a new Valentines board).  We have HUGE orders coming from Impression Obsession (new stamps and dies) as well as Memory Box and Poppystamps. We aren't supposed to share the new products just yet, but if you want a small sneak peek, Dave posted a couple pictures on the Memory Box home page.  He will get you ready to "Think Spring!" 

Save the Date!
 
We've been busy planning lots of fun new events for you in the coming year!   The first is our winter Open House.  This event used to be in December, but who needs one more thing to cram into December?  So, last year we moved it to January, and we discovered that we timed it so that the new products from CHA were just starting to roll in.  How much fun is that??  In keeping with this NEW tradition, we will be hosting our winter Open House on Saturday, February 1.  Save the date as it is always one of the highlights of our year!

We are excited to have Sweet 'n Sassy back for another trunk show and series of classes.  They will be here the weekend of February 28/March 1.  More details to come.

And then we are welcoming a new artist, Linda Bradbury, for a series of workshops May 16 & 17.  She was recommended by one of you, who saw her projects while visiting a shop in North Carolina.  This is one of our favorite ways to find new talent, so keep your suggestions coming.  And stay tuned for more info!   

Odds & Ends

Remember, we have things going on almost every day of the week.  Did you know that Wednesday is "Senior Stamper" day?  All our friends 55+ can take 10% off their shopping every Wednesday.  This offer is good on virtually everything.  Exclusions include class registrations, special orders/items on hold and items already reduced.

We are having another Saturday FREE  Demo on Saturday, January 4 from 11-1.  Angela will be showing you the ins and outs of working with Polyshrink! 

You can also visit our blog every Monday for a picture of Tuesday's project, and every Wednesday for a picture of Thursday's FREE card.
