Coming soon to a store near you... QuicKutz Decades and new Goosebumpz!

The new Decades QuicKutz and Goosebumpz arrived in our warehouse today!  Yippppeee!  Our warehouse team is working hard to check in the order and distribute them out to all ten Cord Scrapbook Studio locations!  And I'm totally being an enabler by showing you these cute and creative ideas to do with the new dies...

I'll admit, too, that I wasn't a fan of the Spotlight Cookie Cutter alphabet UNTIL I saw the actual letters on these layouts and cards.  Now I'm in l-o-v-e with it!

I love the "Biker Chick"...how creative is that?!?!  Plus, for those of you who don't know me, I have an obsession with mini-brads.  Any layout that uses 100+ brads on one page is A-OK with me!!!

I'll just be an enabler for a tiny bit more... with our 30% off Everyday Sale Price on QuicKutz, you can get the complete Spotlight Cookie Cutter alphabet for $91.  Spotlight is in stores now!

For the new Decades and Goosebumpz dies, they should be in stores the beginning of next week!

T.G.I.F....

P.S... The new CHA products from Karen Foster came in the warehouse today too!  I'll be taking some pictures and posting on the blog this weekend.  So check back tomorrow!

New from Autumn Leaves...

New CHA Summer products from Autumn Leaves... oh boy- these are good. They have their full CHA Summer catalog posted on their website.  The new "A Rhonna Christmas" line is awesome!  Check out Rhonna's website for more things Rhonna!  Also new, Foofala's Indian Summer Collection and MOD's Techno Pop.  Plus, TWELVE new clear stamps!  Is anyone else jumping for joy?  I love these stamps!  The new stamps start on page 9.  I think my personal favorite is the "Ticketed" by Katie Pertiet set!  Check out Katie's blog for more of her designs.  They also have new Cardology Stamps from Tia Bennett, which are so fun!  (Tia's blog also has some fun crochet stuff on there...  Leslie, did you catch that?).  Finally, new idea books from Autumn Leaves- 'The Designing With Recipe Book'- a step by step guide to 100 perfect pages (shipping in September); 'Enjoy the Process' by Rhonna Farrer and the artists of Autumn Leaves (shipping in December).

New from Scenic Route...

Lots and lots of creative goodness coming out of Scenic Route from CHA!  Scenic Route has new die-cut journaling labels, raw chipboard embellishments, label stickers, and two new collections- Ashville and Sumner. 

Sumner... welcome to fall with a twist!  Sumner is a nature-inspired collection of stripes, florals and foilage.  The fusion of teal, olive and brown combined with a pinch of salmon offers the designs you're looking for to spice up your creativity this season!

Ashville... warm radiant hues paired with complementary soft, natural tones create the delightful palette of Ashville.  With coordinating stickers, chipboard and embellishments, Ashville is the perfect line to transition your scrapbooking and paper crafting projects from Summer to Fall, effortlessly.

For all you QuicKutz Blossom fans, did you know Scenic Route has the matching font with their "Bristol" alphabet stickers!

Be sure to check out their layout ideas... they have amazing layouts on there!  Lots of inspiration!

Post CHA...

Hello everyone!  Today was a crazy day, so I didn't get to post all the links I'd wanted to today. But hang in there, I promise to give ya a complete-as-I-can-get-it list of links so you can see complete collections from all the companies. 

I wanted to give an update on the Bo Bunny Flex Ruler- Bobbi ordered it at the show!  Yippppeee! Thanks Bobbi! (but a little bit of a bummer... it's backordered until late August.... booo!!!).  So if you're interested in getting one of the Flex Rulers, call you local Cord store to put your name in for one!

Thanks to everyone for your comments on the 100th post.  You have a little less than four hours to post your comment to get in on the raffle!

Also, special thanks to KAREN RUSSELL for coming out to our Reynoldsburg and Clintonville stores this past weekend- I'm so bummed I wasn't in town to see you!  Everyone had a great time and we'll be posting pictures soon from the classes and the weekend.

Now, I need to quit watching my DVR'ed episode of 'Rock of Love' and unpack my suitcase!

Happy Monday,

Amy
