The One with It Feels Like Christmas!


Tuesday, February 9, 2010

I love when my doorbell rings around 10:30am. More often than not it means Mr. UPS man has brought me a package. Yippee! Today it feels like Christmas cuz Mr. UPS man brought me a very big box from American Crafts.

Score. Heck yes. Awesome. Today is a great day.
I was hooked up with three of the newest lines: Botanique, I Do, and Heat Wave.

I've been wanting to get my hands on the Botanique paper ever since I got to make these flowers with prototype paper for the patterned paper pack back when the line was being designed last year.

The paper in real life is 100 times better cuz it's got foil and glitter and a matching solid color on the back!

The Thickers in this collection are to die for. I LOVE the colors, I LOVE the size, I LOVE the materials.

The I Do line has those papers that you don't want to use, you just want to frame them and hang them on the wall, they're just that pretty. Love the Details. Love the Elements. Love the Flair. Love it ALL. Way to rock it Clairice and Lindsey.

Pause to note that I can't go anywhere without these two following me and causing mischief and mayhem. Usually the bird follows me too, but he was locked in his cage during this shoot.

Last but certainly not least the Heat Wave collection.

These Details blow my mind. They're soooooooooooo cute.

As I was putting the papers away I noticed the backs have a printed border on the tearaway strip!

Way to be green!

I feel like the luckiest girl on the planet to be part of the American Crafts Contributing Design Team and I am so excited to start playing and creating with all of this scrappy goodness.

  8. Oh my...the fun I would have! I keep waiting for the postie to ring our bell - I won some Bo Bunny products and I can't wait to get them and have a play! Love the tear-off strips - that's genius! I bought every colour of AC buttons at the new Hobbycraft store in Aberdeen but can't get hold of any blue to complete the set - how annoying?!? Guess I'll just need to keep going in to check...which could prove dangerous for my bank account! xx
