Newsflashes From HIA Page 3

Art Bin has a number of hard sided
and soft sided totes that would be
good for scrapbookers. I think the
small Prism and Storcraft(TM) boxes
would be great for "punchies". 
"Punchies" are the paper pieces
that come out of a punch. Look for
these totes at art supply stores.

Dr. Ph. Martin's Iridescent Ink Pad
is a fantastic product that will take the
rubber stamping world by storm this year.
The ink has a shimmering embossed look,
is archival, non-fading, fast drying and
acid-free.

The Dr. Ph. Martin Water Color Ink pads
have brilliant color and are archival,
lightfast and acid free. The system
comes in 24 colors and has a raised
stamp pad and a refill.

These inks can be used with a stamp
pad and as a liquid with a paint brush to
achieve the effect you see at the right.

Design Originals "Mini Mag" is a bi-monthly
mini-magazine on a specific topic. Topics
include Focus on Photos, Toolin' Time,
Jazzy Journaling, Interactive and Moveable
Pages, Posh-abilities and Versatile Vellum.
These mini-magazines have great tips on
the topic, several layouts and have a
suggested retail of $1.49 each. You will
look forward to each new issue!

Lighthouse Memories released new cams
for the oval and an new idea book. The new
cams are 10 point ruffled circle, Bell/ Flower,
14 point ruffled circle and ruffled oval. I know
that those of you who own this system will
be anxious to get these new cams and the
idea book too!

A cautionary note: at the HIA Show I saw 
vinyl self-stick letters being marketed for 
scrapbooking. Vinyl emits fumes that are 
not safe for your photos. Do not used vinyl 
letters in your scrapbooks!!! Vinyl letters 
are fine for  garage sales, science projects, etc.... 
but when you are shopping for letters be 
aware that vinyl is not a substance that 
you want around your photos.

What's New/ Scrap-Ease has a great new 
recipe organizing kit. This cookbook would 
make a great gift for family members even 
if they are not scrapbookers. Simply gather 
family recipes, gather the photos and 
assemble several books at the same time. 
A memorable gift that is quick and easy!

NRN Designs has some unique glossy 
papers and stickers to match them as 
well as "Headlines and Highlights" that 
are printed on cardstock with a reposition-
able adhesive on the back. If you like the 
NRN look then you are sure to love these 
wonderful new products.
