Filed under Back in Stock, Giveaways, Halloween, Newsletters, Sale

Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. But you can try searching on the same names (as links below) on the new site.

Before we look at this fun new paper collection, plus a bunch of Halloween-themed items back in stock, here’s a reminder about the sale and FREE kit, both ending tomorrow!

Continuing from Thursday and ENDS MONDAY night:
Progressive Mermaid FREE Gift Kit!

Buy more get more (FREE): all orders will receive a chipboard mirror or parasol (dealer’s choice). If you spend $20 you’ll get both items. If you spend $40 you’ll also get a baggie of the new Pink Mermaid Sequin Mix! (A few sequins from the mix are over on the far left of the photo at left… with the new, etched chipboard mirror). Both of the mermaid “props” are shown with the 2 mermaids in the Mermaid Paper Doll Kit and Articulated Mermaid Paper Doll.

1, 2 or all 3 items are FREE with All Orders through Monday, June 12th!

Also continuing from Thursday:
EVERYTHING in the Paint, Pens & Colorants section is on sale for 35% off (and a few in there that are on clearance are 50% off)!

A few have sold out and we’re down to an even 100 to choose from! Like the Liquid Pearls – Jewel Colors Set and Lindys Stamp Gang Starburst Sprays – Mermaid Seashells Set shown.

See all the Paint, Pens & Colorants.
 

I know… about time for a Halloween-ish paper set from Graphic45! I love many things about this new collection: the Sherlock Holmes meets Halloween theme (in general), the skeletons and spiders/spider webs sprinkle throughout, the color palette (really love that), Victorian clothing and images, and books!

This collection includes 8 double-sided papers, 12×12 and 8×8 paper pads, a 12×12 Patterns & Solids pad (new 16-page size), coordinating chipboard, cardstock tags & pockets, journaling & ephemera cards, and decorative cardstock stickers. See a few of the choices below or see them all.
 

Hooray for the Master Detective with Extras Giveaway!

Oh… let’s start this off right; one each of ALL EIGHT Scrapbook Papers from the Master Detective Collection! That one shown at right is called Whodunnit and the snippet below (with the beautiful William Morris floral print) is from the Beautiful Mystery sheet.

A yard of Stitched Satin Pumpkins Ribbon – hey, that is on clearance — 50% off! Plus there are TONS of ribbons in the solid ribbons & patterned ribbons sections on clearance!

An Oval Metal Tea Tray! I love all the fancy details on this little tea tray — and it’s one of 14 metal minis just put on clearance… if you catch this link before more sale items get added, you can see them all together.

BONUS: I’m including the Mini Cream & Sugar Set in that photo!
