idea-ology...

Here is a peek at the Tim Holtz idea-ology line, doesn't this stuff just scream Mystic Paper?


These are my (Jennifer's) personal favorites, the new Word Keys, GORGEOUS!


More of the great metal embellishments this line will have, Trinket Pins, Word Tags, Jump Rings, Stencil Letters...


And I think this is what everyone has been waiting for....MINI GRUNGE!
All the Grunge Board in mini version.


We know we have been teasing everyone in an earlier post with a photo of Tim Holtz and then we didn't say anything about him. We figured that many people would come up with their own conclusion. We know how popular he is, we have been waiting for him to come to our store for awhile. Well, the truth is he will be teaching 3 classes at Mystic Paper!!!


In order to get as many people as we can into his classes, we are letting people sign up for one class. At this time, we don't know what the classes will be or the cost. If you are interested you must call Mystic Paper to be put on the waiting list.

CHA Preview...

We have been so busy these past three days, we don't even know where to begin! We have been trying very hard to get everything that we need to get done and trying to have a little bit of fun while doing it. Here's Kim and Lilia we really miss seeing her at Mystic Paper, she is back living in So. Cal and loving it, but she is missing Az too!

Here is a little sneak peak at one of the new lines we are bringing into the store...Jenni Bowlin, we just LOVE her stuff, we can't wait to get it in.

This is her new Tangerine Dream Line...


If you haven't seen her bingo cards you will LOVE them.

Here are some of her new rub-ons, new designs in black and gold.

We think we have found the perfect addition to any altered book, Jenni's Calendar cards.


New Art Declassified stamps and new textured cardstock!


This is Mindy, we LOVE Mindy!!!
She always keeps us informed of everything that is happening in 7 Gypsy land.

Look at some of their new "Nottinghill" Collection.

Now that Prima is making beautiful papers, take a look at some of their new papers and bling.

These are great collection packs for collage and ATCs.

We have much more to share with you, including a special message from Tim Holtz. More tomorrow. -jw

Well, well, well...Lookie who was here today! If this picture means nothing to you then read this post. Our contest will end Wednesday, February 13th at 9:00 P.M. That's when we will be back from CHA and you know what happens then! The packages start arriving and maybe the weather will warm up...and the shorts may come out. So post your comment on this blog post and guess what date you think Jeff will show up in our store with shorts on. And, if you haven't been reading the comments you really should. A certain "Mrs. UPS" has commented about who does the laundry around their house!

Even though we'll be gone next week we are expecting a new line to be delivered to the store. You can visit Ellen and check out the newest additions to Mystic Paper. Remember Mystic Paper will close at 5:00 P.M. while we are gone. We wouldn't want to work poor little Ellen to death now would we?

This Weekend...CHA!

As many of you may know, we are headed to Anaheim this weekend for CHA. Ellen will be here at the store while we're gone. She is sad that we are going this time without her, and we are letting her close early on the days we're gone so she will be closing at 5:00 P.M. starting on Saturday the 9th through Wednesday the 13th. So get here and shop early for those 4 days.

Lots of talent in the February/March issue of Somerset Memories...

Let's start on Page 22...

We had the pleasure of meeting Jules Eickmeier and her crew when they came to Creative Escape last September. She does a great job of "recreating" her Italian journey. Congratulations Jules! Maybe our paths will cross again at CHA!

We only have to turn a few pages to get to The Nest Wedding Album created by our fav cowgirl Carlene Federer. Nothing like a little four page color layout to add to your "published" resume. What's next Carlene?

Next, on to page 73 where Carol Wingert has a fun layout featuring her daughter Ashley. We are so lucky to have such talented artists here in AZ and that they share their work!

Oh, and guess who's back on page 76, it's Carlene again. This time with a layout about shopping! Why Carlene that's shocking!

And last but not least, our teacher, Judy Bidwell is on page 81. Somerset uses her submission to Sew Somerset in their advertisement for the next issue of the magazine. That's quite a compliment, way to go Judy!

Don't forget, our sale continues through tomorrow. On a little bit of a sad note (for us), Kim's husband AKA "The Peddler" is closing his doors. Most of you know that Mystic Paper and RJ Peddler's have shared our building for almost two years now. So, that means he is having one GIGANTIC SALE. The general public will be able to shop the discounts starting next Friday, February 8th, but you scrappers will be able to shop starting tomorrow! How's that for special treatment?

See you tomorrow!

Hmmm...


more info to come...

New from Somerset...

Just in the store as of yesterday, a new beautiful edition of Artful Blogging!

and Somerset Memories.

Surprise class just added!

Just in time to squeeze this in before Valentines Day. Suzette has created another layered quote book that is perfect for giving to your loved one!

Suzette is becoming quite well known for her "quote" books. She just loves quotes and uses them alot. This layered book is no exception and it is so pretty that Suzette's daughter declared it "the best book she has ever made"! That means alot coming from your own child.

Since we are so close to Valentines Day this class will be taught only once on Thursday, February 7th 6:00 P.M. to 8:30 P.M. The cost is $28. Call us right away, this class is sure to fill up fast!
