Hey All!!!

YEAAAA!!! It's Annual Inspirations Catalog Time!!!!




I am SOOO STINKING EXCITED TO SHOW OFF THIS CATALOG!!!! I got it the first day of Convention in June and I have YET to put it down! I seriously look at it EVERY...SINGLE...DAY!!! It is an AWESOME new layout too! I kinda think its MUCH easier on the eye and to follow along in my own opinion!!! I love the way everything is separated..from the stamps, to the accessories, to Base and Bling, and to Picture My Life! It just flows SO MUCH BETTER! I mean, since we ARE keeping this catalog for a FULL YEAR (YEEEEAAAA!), you want to be able to memorize where your favorite items are!!! I know I did already! And I even got it bound! Even easier to read now!!! 

So let's start to see some of the new stuff, shall we? WARNING PICTURE HEAVY!!!

You've been warned!


B and T DUOS/ PAPER FUNDAMENTALS
So, a full year...well, you know what that means right? MORE PAPER SELECTIONS! WHOOP WHOOP!!! I am LOVING them all!!! I have been playing with EVERY SINGLE COLLECTION for the last 2 and a half weeks to get my display boards done for my gathering this evening, and I can honestly say I cannot REALLY pick one favorite! I ADORE Chalk It Up and Wanderful, and I thought I would HATE Brushed, but it turns out I really, REALLY enjoyed working with it! I myself ALWAYS love working with Holiday papers, and with Yuletide Carol and Snowhaven, it was a BREEZE to create amazing projects!!! The Confetti Wishes paper is SOOO perfect for ANY party theme you have! Its SOOO adorbs! Seaside...oh Seaside...I just LOVE that paper!!! Its beachy theme will keep  me thinking of summer through the WHOLE catalog!!! Pathfinding is SUCH a nice paper for Autumn..not just Thanksgiving! Great colors, and great fun images! Scaredy Cat was SOOOOO much fun to work with as well! I always love the way Halloween colors come together! And I LOVE the layouts I created with this pack!!! Needless to say, ALL the paper is PRETTY AMAZING!!!! And remember the paper from FREE TO BE ME? It was textured and was matte on one side, and shinny and textured on the other? Well, we now have ALL our colors in that paper!!! I FLIPPING LOVE THEM!!!! We have them in Adventure, Whimsey, Enchanted, and Basics!

 Not to mention that we have some PRETTY AWESOME new frames if you ask me!!! I turned our NEW Shadow Box Frame into a Cork Board, and each month I plan to have a new one page layout that represents our month to go into the frame and have on display (check back later this week about my NEW monthly kits that will come with the instructions to make this one page layout)! I even LOVED playing with our Magnetic Chalk Board! Can you say A-MAZING!!!! OMG!!!! I even made cute little magnets out of our Base and Bling glass and our Yuletide Carol paper to match my frame!! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!

MY CRUSH BOOKS
OK, now, the Crush Books...HOLY FLIPPING COW! These new books are OUTTA THIS WORLD!!!! I myself am TOTALLY loving the Holiday Happenings Book, but I am also loving the In The Pink book! We also have the Wildwood Book!!! Seems very woodsy like to me, and I cannot wait to get my hands on it and do a walkthrough! We have SUPER cute new accessories for all our new books that are SURE to bring them all together!!!

They come with ALL the pieces cut out for you, all you have to do is assemble and stamp them! We even sell the stamp separately now, so in case you need extra cards ONLY, you don't have to get another whole kit with the stamp! We have 4 Cut Above kits: Holiday, Christmas, Thank You and Birthday! If you watch my You Stream tonight, you are going to see just HOW EASY it is to assemble one of the Cut Above Cards! I will be showing it off! Also, we have Cut Above Treat Bags!!! These are DARLING!!!

PICTURE MY LIFE
Picture My Life has been one of those items that I LOVED from the beginning, but, as life would have it, have had NO TIME to play with it! BUT...I finally forced myself to make the time, and I LOVE THIS!!! Any working mom, new mom, non scrapbooker, new scrapbooker, no-free space woman, should SERIOUSLY give this a try, because you will wind up owning the entire line! Its the EASTEST, and FASTEST thing I have EVER done!!! AND...not to mention, can be used in MANY other projects that you papercrafters work with! Cards, displays, My Crush, etc!!! WE added 5 new kits in addition to the 8 we already had! We added Chalk It Up, Wanderful, Pear and Partridge, For Always, and Seaside!!!! You have GOT to check them ALL out!!!! I can't pick a single favorite!

BASE AND BLING
Base and Bling has come SO FAR since the the Autumn/Winter catalog! I cannot tell you how relaxing it is to sit down and make a necklace or a bracelet (using out NEW oval cuff) and know I had total control over it! And the feeling when someone you see out and about says "Oh my gosh! I LOVE that! Where did you get it?" and you get to say "I MADE IT!"...WOW...I seriously NEVER get tired of that feeling!!! We have new Rectangle and Oval pendants as well as our Square and Circle. We also got new Style Sheets and Charms, Signature and Journey! You will LOVE it all!

So, we also ADDED 5 colors to the Whimsy Palate since we removed 5 colors! These new colors are SO AMAZING in person! You will want to GOBBLE them up!!! The new colors are Pixie, Canary, Thistle, Flaxen, and Glacier! AND...FINALLY! I can say that Close To My Heart hit a HOME RUN with the NEW Shin Han Touch Twin Markers!!!! We will carry them in 26 AMAZING colors!!!!
