If you thought encaustic art was difficult, GUESS AGAIN! Available in 7 different kits making learning and playing with wax easy and fun! www.encaustikits.com


ANNOUNCING CRI-KITS


A gell pen that fits cutting machines!!
Lets you draw the shapes instead of cutting them out.
A bit high tech for me but you gadget gurus will be in heaven!

HEARTFELT CREATIONS:
Are these flowers gorgeous, or what?
This company has stamps that are simply beautiful and they've teamed up with Spellbinders to create dies to compliment them. NO CUTTING OUT STAMPED IMAGES!! Some dies are exclusive.



KAISER CRAFTS: BEYOND THE PAGE always excites me.
Lots of new wood kits for home and office decor.
Lines of paper to compliment, wood shapes too!
Check out that Castle!!!








PAPER HOUSE: I am excited about the manly, macho, out-doorsy new papers. WOW, Hockey, hunting, camping etc. They even have one about BEER.






I took a break from walking the floor to teach a few techniques with some new products
at the IMP demo booth near ScraPerfect booth #458



OUR GENEROUS SPONSORS


Acrylic items are common enough, but HARMONIE has some new "to die for" acrylic HINGED albums, some with etched designs.




Who doesn't love art you can wear? The Silhouette features new products in a variety of stylish colors to cut appliques!
