Hello Again

Well, we're back from CHA. What a whirlwind! Chicago was great, the weather was beautiful, and the pizza was fantastic. We flew back into Wichita, and oh the humidity!

We are so excited about our new product. We are bringing in a lot of new lines: lots of new embellishments, ribbon, felt, some exciting new Bazzill product (can you say "thread the needle"?) Below are a few very poor pictures, as we didn't know we'd be allowed to take pictures at the show. You won't be able to see in detail what the pictures are depicting, but some are clearer than others. The product should start arriving in August, and will continue to arrive probably into October.



This photo shows one of the new felt ribbons that we're bringing in. It does give pretty good detail. This is a Christmas ribbon, but of course the picture doesn't do the color justice. You can also see little leaves and flowers, etc. We have also ordered these.



This picture shows, very poorly, some new Halloween embellishments that we ordered.




This picure shows some more felt ribbon. Both the bats and pumpkin are ribbons in this line, and you can see the versatility of this product. (Ribbon shown is from Queen and Co.) The candy corn embellishment, and the other embellishments in that line, have all been ordered.




This product is a chip board album from Maya Road. We have several of these ordered.



Here we are in the hotel gift shop, having our picture taken with my cell phone camera. High Tech!

Oh, this post would be remiss if I forgot to mention that Acrylic stamps will be making their first appearance at Scraps. We are excited to bring a collection of stamps from Fancy Pants which I think you'll really like.

We did listen to those of you who requested specific items. I can't say off hand what those items were (Tayleene would know!), but we appreciate your comments and suggestions, and try to accommodate requests that we can.

Talk to you soon,

Mark

Welcome!

Wecome to the new Scraps Blog, called ScrapSheets! This idea was inspired by some classes that we went to while at our semi-annual Scrapbook convention in Chicago. Neither of us really know much about blogging, and this is the first that I've ever done it. Hope you find it informative and interesting.

Currently we're sitting in a hotel room in Chicago working on ordering product. We've gone to the CHA (Craft and Hobby Association) Show for the last two days, and are working on which product to order. What a long drawn out process! By the time you actually get to read this first edition we'll probably already have the new product in, so I won't go into a lot of detail. Certainly more updates will follow, but I at least wanted to get this started while the idea was fresh in my mind.

Talk to you later!
