Everyday Embellishing
It’s easy to incorporate chalk, metallics, and bling into your artwork
with a few embellishments you can use on your everyday papercrafting
projects. Let us show you how!
This Merry & Bright page uses dots created with the gold metallic marker to add extra sparkle around the edges of the page. Notice the scalloped accents with outlines in gold marker which adds dimension and draws your eye. Our metallics markers will make your artwork sparkle!
Add heart to your art with an extra touch of bling—cover your Dimensional Elements with silver Glitz™ glitter gel, a clear Sparkle or two, or a touch of silver from the metallics marker! Your heartfelt messages will bedazzle your loved ones.
The chalk marker and 12" × 12" chalkboard sheet are a perfect pair for creating a unique project. Journal and embellish your memories with the quaint look of a chalkboard—minus the dust—and a lot of freehand fun, perfect to display in your albums or on your walls!
If you haven’t had a chance to scrapbook your Halloween photos yet, here’s a great idea for a spooky page. The Haunted assortment with its cute skull brads, spider badge buttons, and more, is the perfect go-to for scary Halloween memories. It also coordinates nicely with the Moonlight paper packet and Moonlight Complements Dimensional Elements.
Tell your story with papers and accents that complement your unique tale. The Memo assortment’s little note tags are great for embellishing and journaling all in one, and the tiny epoxy numbers mimic old typewriter keys. Pair the Memo assortment with our Scholastic paper packet and My Stickease® assortment for your school-themed memories and more!
This elegant layout is tied together by antique elements from the Baroque assortment, Avonlea Complements canvas shapes, and the beautiful Avonlea papers. Add a timeless quality to your memories with graceful keys, broaches, and buttons from the Baroque assortment.
Whatever your project, embellishing will bring your artwork to life. Tell your customers about these exciting embellishments so they can start shopping today to add that extra something to their everyday projects!

Retiring Items!!
Our Current Idea Book has products available through January 31, 2013, and while the excitement of the Spring/Summer 2013 Catalog coming in February is building, there are some current favorites that will retire and no longer be available.
There is the possibility that products will be bought up before the end of January and be gone for good. With that in mind, I wanted you to be aware of what is retiring. If there is anything on this list that you MUST have, you will want to order it now before it is gone for good!
You can enter the item number on my website here to see pictures of each product and add them to your cart if you choose to.
With the thanks of fellow consultant, Christine Adams, I have a web ready list for you:
