Cosmo Cricket - 3 new lines

New this week... THREE new lines of Cosmo Cricket papers, stickers, alphas, paper pads and embelishments. Can we say.... YAY!?!?! Here are some close ups of each of the paper pads, to give you an idea of what the lines are all about.

Material Girl is a fun, whimsical line featuring all things sewing... scissors, patterns, tape measures... you name it!!

Joy Ride will be PERFECT for all of those Summer Road trip pictures!!

Garden Variety is for all of those with a green thumb or who love all things organic. This set comes complete with the cutest smiling tomatos!!

Cosmo Cricket never lets down. Come in and see all of the coordinating pieces to these three amazing lines!

Cosmo Cricket Alphas

Cosmo Cricket has just released several new alphas. Some coordinate with their new paper lines and many more that are versatile and could go with just about any project you could dream up. The first pic shows their "ready-set-chip" alphas that coordinate with the new paper lines. I especially love the woodgrain one on the top right!

These are teeny tiny alphas that come in six versatile colors:

Along the bottom of each sheet are word stickers!! Here's a close up:

Each color has it's own set of words... how cool is that??

Flowers and Lace

More Prima!! These new flowers are stunning with lots of detail and glitter:

See the packaging? It is designed so that after you use your flowers, it become an embelishment all of its own!! These flowers are also new at Scrappin' Time:
The colors and textures are fantastic and it coordinates beautifully with their new lace/ribbon:

Want to get more use out of your flowers? Love them too much to shut away in a scrapbook? Hot glue a pin back and use them on your lapel, headband, hair clip or hand bag! (just make sure not to get them wet)

Prima

Lots of new Prima in this week!! And, as usual, it is BEAUTIFUL!

Prima's Umbrella Line

We all know that Prima makes GORGEOUS and girly flowers, papers and embellishments. But have you seen their new Umbrella line?? It's bright, fun and funky!!
Crocodiles wearing rain boots? TOO CUTE! And look at those pebbles that coordinate! Almost makes me want to wish for a rainy day and a yellow rain slicker...

St Patrick's Day

Scrappin' Time has stickers, paper, ribbons and more to help with your St Patrick's Day projects. Need some inspiration? Pick out a few sheets of paper (mix prints, stripes and solids that color coordinate) and cut out shamrock shaped die cuts (or cut by hand using a pattern). Cut a long piece of coordinating ribbon and either pin, staple or sew the shamrocks across to create a fun and festive garland for your home. Accent with stickles, stickers or buttons.

Here's a simplified example to give you an idea of where to start:

Start with the shamrocks and dress it up with the embellies and you'll have a totally festive, unique decoration for your home!

Just Rite Stamps

Have you seen the wall of Just Rite stamps at Scrappin' Time? Take a look:

There are so many fantastic choices!! And what makes them really fantastic is that they are interchangeable!! What does that mean? Look at this close up...
Each set comes with different borders and/or centers. The borders have everything: vines, scrolls, flowers, stars and more. The centers... there's too many to list!! And all of the stamps (of the same size) can coordinate with each other so the more sets you buy, the more you can experiment and make your projects your own! Scrappin' Time has several sets that you can come in and try out, just stop by and Karen would be happy to give you a quick demonstration!
