Mandee Gillen October Mini Album





Take a look at this mini album that one of our gals from our design team did with the October Housecalls.  I loved how Mandee used the house as the cover. She used the matboard as great dimensional interest.  Take a look.


"The only thing that i used on this album that wasn't in the kit was the alpha stickers from my little shoebox and American crafts, and the white pen, everything else is the kit. Oh ya i made the album with a zutter." Mandee Gillen

Here she added a matboard rectangle as a flip in the book.  She added the googly eye included in the kit for additional dimension.

Rock Candy Stickles and Crackle Paint

Has anyone ever used this on Matboard? We are thinking about these items as possible wow items for our kits for December tell us what you think?

New Rock Candy Crackle Paint and Distress Stickles

MORE NEW Distress Stickles! - Tim couldn't leave out the new metallic crackle colors for the distress stickles! Great for the holidays! Five new colors of distress stickles are a must have! Picket fence (yes a white chunky glitter perfect for snow!), tarnished brass, brushed pewter, and antiqued bronze (a touch of aged metallics in a mica looking glitter - incredible!), and rock candy! (this is totally clear glitter and because it's clear, it reflects whatever colors you put it on. use it over stamped images, flowers, scrapbook paper.

NEW Clear Rock Candy Distress Crackle Paint - Use it for a thin clear layer of crackled clarity ! Tim says to paint this over stamped designs, photographs, and just about any paper craft embellishment you can get your hands on.
