 Dear Treasured Memories, Fall - Winter 2011 Products have arrived! So, according to the weather, we are skipping fall and going right into winter! Perfect excuse to create new pages and projects! According to the many boxes of new product we're unpacking, we are ready for it!
So much to tell you about, grab a cup of your favorite, and stay with us! Ribbons, ribbons, and more ribbons! From May Arts, our favourite ribbon supplier, thousands of yards in new fall, winter and festive colours & designs.
Stamps from Great ImpressionsWith a new look and great savings for you! These quality rubber stamps have lost their wood mounts and gained sticky backed foam, perfect for acrylic handles.
With the rising costs of wood and shipping, our new Stackables are an awesome deal. Same quality stamp in less storage space, colouring suggestion packaging, and registration images on the foam mount, at lower cost, Great Impressions and our Stamp of the Month program are a fantastic deal!
This month's stamp is a Distress Background, and complements the halloween images in the program. Distress Background is half price with the purchase of any other Great Impressions Stamp, only while supply lasts!
 
Embossing FoldersCraft Too deep impressions folders in a variety of designs, plus the ever popular Cuttlebug Swiss Dots and Random Dots are back!
  
An effective and economical way to add texture and design to ordinary paper, embossing folders are a 'must have' partner for your Cuttlebug, Spellbinder or Big Shot machine. School Memories A few weeks ago, we announced a great school memories album was on its way from Karen Foster...they're here! Beautiful, nostalgic and perfect for memory keeping from pre-school to 5th grade. A place for both individual and class photos, and tracking all the milestone markers of each year, plus a 12 x 12 envelope for the year's treasures! Limited stock, so come in early! 
School has never looked so cool as on our fabulous new themed line from Simple Stories. 'Elementary' is full of nostalgic icons and traditional colours with an updated distressed look. There are many products for school, but we think Simple Stories' 'Elementary' earns top marks!

For stamps, we are just getting started, with affordable clear stamp sets from Hot Off the Press.
