New goodies in the store:

Action Wobbles.  These are the simplest invention but are really cool!  They are a spring-style pop dot!  So you can pop up any item or embellishment for that added dimension, but then it also wiggles!  ...or wobbles, lol.  Another feature is it is virtually flat...so that means no extra postage when mailing that fun card!!
Its hard to 'see the wobble' in a photo, but here's one that DT member Jonna made -

Also, we've gotten BoBunny instock in the last week.
Alora has been really popular and we reordered the embellishments too!
Here's a really cool layout made by our rep Sabrina.  She even used the Lucky 8 punch to make the circle base :)

Also, new by BoBunny is Serenity...

Finally Restocked:
Fairy Dust by Donna Salazar

The fine glitter is truly dust-like and so fun to use in the adorable salt shakers :)

Also restocked (lots of restocking this week!)
Elizabeth Crafts glitters and tapes and stickers and even new dies

Isn't it beautiful?!  In person, the glitter is amazing...
Be sure to check out our new classes that have been posted too!!  New glitter classes, Scrappin' Clubs, Stamp-a-Stacks and more...

Hope you are having a great weekend and see you at the store soon!

It's always nice to come to work at SITC in the morning, but it makes for a crazy fun day when there's a big box of new stuff waiting for me when I get here.  It's the best kind of day when that box is from OCTOBER AFTERNOON!  Woohoo!!  We got in the much anticipated "Sasparilla" line and it is as cute as it looked in all of the previews.  It's a Boy/Girl country/cowboy theme line with some adorable embellishments to go with the always wonderful papers that OA sends us.  With the great colors and cute star embellishments, much of this line is making it in to my to-scrap bag for baseball pages and general boy pages. 

I also had waiting for me a rare-for-us reorder of a line that went so quickly so many of us missed out on it.  We have the "Saturdays" line back in from Little Yellow Bicycle, so if you got a little before and need more, come and get it.  Or if you missed out completely, here's your chance to grab some of this beautiful "family" line with the denim look.  So pretty!

My day just keeps getting better......As I was sitting here typing, the big brown truck pulled up with MORE new stuff!  Wowza!  These boxes are from JILLIBEAN SOUP and Basically Bare!!!  AHHHHH!  "Southern Chicken Dumpling" from Jillibean may be the cutest Easter line I've ever seen!  Yes, I need it ALL!  This giant box from Basically Bare is FULL of chipboard, fabric and felt embellishments in every shape and size you could imagine!  I can't wait to start shopping all of this, so I guess I'd better get to work so all of you and I can buy it all! :-D

Have a great afternoon and come see me!

Trish

Also new in the store is American Crafts, Dear Lizzy's new Neopolitan line

Its got some really great papers & new & cool embellishments.  This line actually sold completely out of all embellishments BEFORE I could get it up on the walls.  The lucky customers that were in the store shopping that day snatched them all up.  So, ALL the embellishments are already on reorder and should be here within the week.  Ask to get put on 'the list' for what you want and we'll hold it for you :). 

Look at these cool new Butterflies... they are already stitched and diecut, so all you do is pull them up and voila, they are ready to hang across your page :)  So fun.  & they are available in Banners too.  See the ruffle paper??  Its really fun to add dimension to your page or cut up and make flowers.  I can't wait to play with all this stuff...

I'm off to the Retreat...keep up with us on Facebook this weekend.  Happy shopping :)

 It has been a fun morning already here at The City.  UPS came early this morning and brought three wonderful Echo Park lines with him. 

The first is, A Boy's Life.  So for all of us who have little men in our life and have a hard time finding awesome paper to scrap all their mischievous adventures....this line is for us.  This line covers it all...airplanes, cars, rock star, video games, skateboarding, and much much more.  We did get the collection kit and the 6*6 paper pad. 

The second is , Holly Jolly Christmas. This line is very whimsical, young, and fun. We have several collection kits, 6*6 paper pads, layered chipboard, decorative brads, clear stamps, and chipboard sticker accents. This line would be great to scrap Christmas dance recitals,  Fantasy of Trees, or just special "home" memories that you created over Christmas.  Holly Jolly Christmas also would work great with any snowy days that may be in our future. 

The third is , Season's Greetings.  This is more a "Traditional" Christmas line.  This would be perfect for decorating the tree, making Santa's cookies, or that perfect family picture you captured.  We have the collection kits, brads, stamps, and layered chipboard with this line.

So come in and look at all these fun lines.  I may still be putting them on the shelves but you know things here go fast. 

Enjoy the Sunshine Today,

Amanda

Calling all card makers!!!  This Martha Stewart scoring board is a must-have.  I don't make cards much but I've really enjoyed using this new gadget.  Makes it much easier!!!

 Mixed Media peeps... these Donna Salazar chalk inks are new and in fun colors.  The City Chicks favorite thing in the store right now is the Fairy Dust....  Aside from the adorable salt shaker dispenser, the glitter is amazingly fine and coats so well.  3 fun colors.  (and the glue gloss is a must!)
