Newsflashes From HIA Page 2

Windows of Time released some great new
paper piecing designs. I just stocked up on
their paper piecing patterns at the Long
Beach EXPO and now I need to get some
more....  The new apple basket, western
and dragon pages (at the right) are adorable.

The coordinating stationery pages make it
really easy to create a fast mat for photos
on your pages with paper piecing.

Marvy Uchida is a company that makes
some of my favorite scrapbooking
tools- heat gun for embossing,
self-healing cutting mat and punches.
I was excited to learn that there are
a number of new punches in the
Marvy line including some great new
border punches, Extra Jumbo 1 1/2" 
punches and Super Jumbo 2" Punches.
Craft Punch Mate is a punch
assist device that works with any
brand of punches. Marvy also has a
pH pen called Neutral 7 and a red-eye
remover pen called Flash Out.

Cut It Up! has three new books to
help you create wonderful scrapbook
pages. Punch It Up! by Tamara
Sortman is a great book for beginning
and advanced punch artists alike.
Just when I think that I have seen
every possible design that could
be created with a punch then along
comes Tamara and proves that I
am wrong. Fold It Up! is a new
book by Sande Womack and Friends.
Fold It Up! shows creative ways to use
the Fold It Up! die cuts made by Cut It Up.
These die cuts are great for times when
you have more photos than you have room
to place on a 2 page layout but don't want to
extend them to a four page layout.
"XYZ Still More Creative Lettering" is
the latest installment of lettering books
by the Queen of lettering Lindsay
Ostrom and friends. Once again
Lindsay shows us great lettering
techniques with the little extras that
make them look really great and she
makes it all look really easy. A great book!

Bo Bunny Press released new designs of
paper and stickers at the show.  Bo Bunny
designs have a nice soft water color look
and always have great family themes.
The new camping themed stickers are
wonderful and feature 12" border stickers.

Walter Foster is an old familiar name to
artists but a new name for scrapbooking. 
Their new Memory Calendar is a spiral bound
calendar that is great for pre-teen and teenage
girls to use as a calendar and save the
memories for the future.
