OK...so look what came in the mail this week???
I designed this some time this year in the middle of a blur......so, seeing it in person is like waking up from a really long nap to see that someone did your dishes and cleaned your house and folded and put away all of the laundry....something like that...well, maybe I am just wishing desperately that that would happen too! (just kidding...please don't show up at my house unless you just want to visit...I don't even TAKE NAPS!!)

It has been really interesting to try to make art in the middle of all of the turmoil that was happening in our family last year...but I am so glad that I really dumped my heart and soul into it.

ANYWAY....

I don't know why I still get so excited when I see my products in person. I guess i'ts because it's such a long long process to get them onto the store shelves, I think it's been 9 months since I designed this....and even though I have products on shelves all over the world, I always have to move on to the next product deadline and I only get to have these A-HA moments every so often when I realize that all of the work I did months and months ago(with my most amazing team...I LOVE YOU CARRIE!!!! LOOK WHAT WE PULLED OFF!!!), all of the extra time and care that I, with my team, put into something...was so totally worth it. I am really really really pleased with this kit and I have to show you EVERY SINGLE PIECE because it is so lovely, such great quality for such a great value and MOST IMPORTANT...it's completely limited edition...just for Sam's Club and so when it gets to the store, you have to get it fast, because when it's gone, it's gone...and due to the consumer testing we did, and the A.MA.ZING price....I am certain it is gonna sell out fast....SO HERE'S YOUR HEAD'S UP!!!

OK...first, it looks so much better with the plastic off.....at this point I moved INTO my house because it is 30 dadgum degrees today............a high of 50...OY! OUR INDIAN SUMMER IS GONE, darn. ANyway...the light gets a little different now...but I worked it as well as I could in the front entry of my house.

THERE'S SO MUCH STUFF IN THIS KIT...IT IS SO HEAVY!!! IT BLOWS MY MIND!

The first thing you gotta notice is that there's a whole bunch of really lovely, nicely sized gem brads on the front of the package....we wanted it to have some jewelry to go with it's dress...

The next thing I pulled out is the rolling stamp and the stamp pad...then the clear stamps...OHHHH I am so excited to use these to make cards and gift tags....and I have been doing a lot of stuff with polymer clay lately (will show you photos soon) and I can't wait to use these stamps to indent into the clay.

OH I LOVE THEM THEY ARE SOOOOO PRETTY!!!

Ok, next up...you will get all of these yummy treasures...(and after I photographed these, I found 3 or 4 more...so this isn't even all of them!)

AND....look at this luscious ribbon....you know how photos don't do things justice....that's the case here...even though the photos are lovely....the stuff is even lovelier

and some very versatile, wonderful felt pieces (are you noticing that this stuff can be used LOOONG after Christmas time?)

AND THESE TOTALLY GREAT, THICK chipboard alphabets...a WHOLE BUNCH OF THEM!!! (i think they are about 1.5" tall)

AND THESE GORGEOUS...and again, totally VERSATILE journaling cards...2 of each style...stunning.

and these really fun, really thick, 2 layered frames (they are bigger than they look in this photo!)

AND WOW! you even get a matching, custom DOODLE GENIE in the kit!!!

And these phenomenal, HUGE, cardstock die cuts...SO MANY OF THEM!!!

I LOVE these chipboard stickers so much...I can't WAIT to use that cardinal!

OK, seriously, could these silhouette stickers get any better (maybe if they were velvet...) BUT...look how luscious this looks on the flocked Artsylicious paper....mmmmmm

OK YOU ALSO GET.....some beautiful word stickers, and matching beautiful border stickers.....
BUT WAIT!! THERE'S MORE!!! (no Ginsu knives, unfortunately)

YOU GET SOME super duper alphabet stickers! (there's so much stuff in here that I am running out of good, decent adjectives....)

YOU GET A WHOLE CRAP LOAD OF BRADS (sorry....I really am running out of adjectives...sorry mom, for my potty mouth)

NOW...YOU GET A DARN TOOTIN' ALBUM...ok, that was so totally redneck...this album is seriously SO PRETTY....SO LOVELY (I will go back to that one....because I just can't get that word out of my head...thanks a lot, pcb)

ARE YOU STILL WITH ME??? WE HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN TO THE SCRAPBOOKING PAPER YET...ok, the ART paper...the paper arts paper...it can be for ANYTHING...we are not gonna put it into a category like that...thi s is just plain beautiful paper...thick and rich....like Oprah...whaaat?? Oh sheesh, did I cross the line? I used to be thick and rich too....lol. Now I'm just thick...but getting a little thinner day by day via horrid awful gutwrenching danged boot camp....anyway..the paper IS thick...and it does have wonderful, rich color....(by the way, I completely love Oprah like a sister)

YOU GET 2 sheets of each of this delicious paper (haven't tasted it yet....but take my word for it)...

OK...we are on the homestretch...my lovely lovely artsy friends.....

I have to say as much as I love this kit...I am TOTALLY SICK OF TALKING ABOUT IT....but, that's how much I love you all....and I want to stop talking about it and go play with it...but I MUST tell you about my FAVORITE thing about this kit....THE FLOCKED BOX SET THAT EVERYTHING IS PACKED INTO....
OH MY GOSH......
IT iS SO DURABLE, THICK, PLUSH, STRONG...the flocking is so thick and luscious.....I want 25 of these to stack in my studio...I just keep petting because it's so darn soft and beautiful....
AND LOOK AT THE LINING!!! BE STILL MY HEART!! IT'S LIKE CHRISTMAS EVERY TIME YOU OPEN IT...well, sort of....it's like WHATEVER MAKES YOU HAPPY every time you open it.

OK, that's all for now......I bet you are as tired as I am after that.
JUST MAKE SURE YOU RUSH INTO SAM'S IN A FEW WEEKS AND PICK ONE OF THESE UP........
I will give you more details on prices and locations as soon as I have it....

THIS KIT IS AVAILABLE IN LIMITED SAM’S LOCATIONS...AND WHEN IT’S GONE, IT’S GONE...SO BE SURE TO GET AHOLD OF ONE IF OU WANT ONE...THEY ARE GOING FAAAAST!!!!
