Hey everyone,

Its our last day at market, and we're excited to be coming home.  Call me strange, but I really do enjoy seeing all the new product, and, truth be known, I think I'd probably enjoy scrapbooking if I had time to try.  As I said yesterday, we're really pumped about the product we're bringing in.  In reality, its like we're doing an entire store turn-around, as there are only 4-5 of our present manufacturers that we will continue to carry.  The rest of our product will come from new companies, at least 10.  The new companies include Bam Pop (a funky company with funky paper!), Reminisce, Crate Paper, Sweetwater, Moxxie, Glitz, Tattered Angels (maker of Glimmer Mist) SRM (maker of stickers), Inque Boutique, Tonic (maker of great, original tools), and I think a couple more.  We are also happy to announce the purchase of an Accu-Cut machine, which will allow a lot of flexibility and new opportunities for class projects, etc.  Be watching the newsletter for information about an Accu-Cut club, which will allow you to come to the store and use our machine for your own projects!  The pictures below are mostly layouts made with the new products.  As needed I've included comment to explain what product was used.  We should be getting the first shipments in the next 2 weeks or so.  See you soon!

Mark and Tayleene

This layout was made with some new "2008" paper that we ordered.











St. Patrick's Day Paper!!











The next 3 layouts were all done using tools from Tonic, that give a lot of flexibility in making different shapes, very precisely. We can't wait to get these tools in, which should be in about 2 weeks. Stay tuned!
























































Finally, here's a picture of Tayleene after all the works done, and all the orders are placed. Quite the difference from yesterday's pic, huh?







This is Sharon Ann and Lori, two designers from Little Yellow Bicycle that are responsible for a lot of the product we have in our store, and some of the new product we'll be bringing in. Everyone at LYB is so nice.






The next three pictures are again examples of what can be done with the new Tonic tools.
