Ideas and Inspiration


Are you looking for new layout and design ideas or maybe some new card ideas?  Whether you are new to crafting or a seasoned expert, our Idea Gallery page is a great place to start!

What is L.O.T.O.?


Each month we have what we call "Layout Takeouts" (L.O.T.O.). 

We create a two page spread with some of our favorite new products and feature them in a special place in our store.  All the papers, embellishments, etc are set up next to the layout and you have the option of purchasing a color copy of the layout for 99 cents.  Or if you purchase the items that were used to create the layout, you get the color copy free.
