Happy New Year

Wow I can't believe how fast 2009 flew by. What a wild and crazy year it was.

I am a little behind in welcoming in the new year but I have to say I am very excited about 2010. We're going to start the year off with papers from GCD Studios Artsy Urban line that was designed by Melody Ross. Design team member Mimi Leinback has been anxious to get her hands on this line. And I took one look at it and fell in love with the same papers she did, so it was an easy choice. This month we are only having one paper line. The plan is to pick back up in February with having paper from mulitple lines.

Also this month we have mini roses from Prima Marketing Inc in the Scrap Kit. I could not decide between yellow and blue so I decided to get both. Honestly, I may have to order more colors but I wanted to see these first. I love just about everything Prima puts out but I'm struggling with wanting all the colors available and what I will actually use. So please help me decide and let me know which colors you want because you know there will be another Prima order -have you seen their new releases!

Also coming this month are Basic Grey's BlingIt rub-ons. I loved these the minute I saw them. My only complaint is that they are one per package -I won't allow myself to hoard mine until I find the 'perfect' LO or card to use it on...I'll just have to buy more if I want to use it more than once. (Now honestly, how many items in your stash do you have that you hoard waiting for the perfect thing to use it on? Please don't tell me I'm the only one.)

Oh and the ideas that are whirling through my brain for the naked pockets from 7 Gypsies! I must say that I love those pockets. I can't tell you how many times I don't leave enough room for journaling or want to journal something a little too personal that these are perfect for.

This month I would like to challenge everyone that receives the Therapy Kit to actually do the project. We haven't had a project for a few months and this one is pretty good sized. It is a 12 x 24 White Canvas from Canvas Concepts. I have a 2 page LO that I wished I could hang on my wall but nothing really does it justice so when I saw this I knew I could recreate it OR do a new one with. Honestly my mother and mother-in-law both expect one (a completed one) for their next gift.

Please let us know what you think of the kit. And be sure to share your creations with us in our gallery.
