4 NEW Clear Acrylic Stamp Sets are here from Hot Off the Press (HOTP) featuring Bold Patterns, Delicate Patterns, Flights of Fancy and Botanicals. Backing sheets are approx. 7-1/2" x 5" (It's late and I'm a bit tired, so forgive the approximation.) These are really pretty, high quality designs so please check them out if you are in the market for something you haven't seen before.

4 NEW templates as well from HOTP. The templates are all in one category now so you'll see all HOTP's items if you search for 'template' - as well as a few more. You can always check the left side menu for HOTP to get there quickly.

Finally, a NEW book with very special designs featuring Sara's Surfaces but you can use them on any items you have. The color sense is wonderful and there are a few techniques like working with alcohol inks that you'll learn from. I've always been a fan of Sara and even met her while taking a HOTP class. She is very down to earth and enormously talented.

We have the QuicKutz Magnolia alphabet in - the one on sale for a great price so if you are in the market to add to your collection...You can't beat QK's monthly sales! We are just putting into motion a new promotion that you'll benefit from. QuicKutz=QuickBuckz=FREE STUFF! You'll earn QuickBuckz for all the products you purchase from QuicKutz (except sale items and promotional items) and then you can use them to get FREE QK products. Stay tuned for details coming very soon.

Technique Tuesday stamps are in, Inkadinkado wood mounted and clear stamps are in, more Onyx UM stamps are in, too. Should be up online shortly. Gel-a-tins is shipping to me this weekend and Crafty Secrets should be on the way shortly. I'm putting an order in for Great Impressions Friday or Monday, so if you have something special you want, don't hesitate to let me know.

Think that's about it. More to follow later. Enjoy!
