This set of alphabet diecuts called Tangerine from QuicKutz was introduced at the summer CHA show.
Tangerine Classic Alphabet—freshly squeezed for maximum flavor! Classic-size alphabets are approx. 1-1/4″ high. Complete alphabet includes uppercase, lowercase, numbers and punctuation. Shadow set includes uppercase, lowercase, numbers and punctuation shadows.
Ribbon Glue from Making Memories

I have recently been fixated on ribbons in scrapbook pages. I’ve found that the Ribbon Glue from Making Memories to be the most perfect adhesive for adhering ribbons to paper. Everything they claim for this adhesive is true:
- Does not seep into ribbon
- Works for all ribbon types
- Dries clear
It can be applied in tiny dots or in a thin line. It adheres almost instantly, with only a little pressure needed to make ribbon stick permanently.
Color Lab from KI Memories

Now, this got me excited. Those little test tubes appeal to the scientist in me. This is part of KI Memories’ Color Lab line of scrapbooking embellishments. The kits are called Experiment Kits (gotta love that!).
Each Color Lab Experiment Kit features clever, reusable test tubes showcasing KI Memories’ cool, colorful embellishments: Alphabet Sequins, Flower Rhinestones, Star Rhinestones, Glitter Brads and multi-colored Mini Paper Clips.
This new line coordinates with the also-new Holiday Collection (Haunted, Grateful, Joyful and Alpine). Here’s a look at the line of sparkly embellishments:


Another Chatterbox Sneak Peek

This is another Chatterbox scrapbooking paper coming out in the Memory Trends show in October. This time, it’s part of their Christmas collection. I like this better than the winter paper I showed you before.

Office-themed scrapbooking embellishments are as popular as ever. These Office-Altered Stickers from Crafty Secrets will make gorgeous additions to your stash. I specially like the tags and brackets.

Some faux metal pieces like eyelets, hinges and paper clip stickers are among the stickers. Coordinates with the rest of the Heartwarming Vintage Collection. Acid and lignin free.

UHU Samples for Review
August 25, 2006 by Maricar · Leave a Comment
I got some review samples of UHU scrapbook adhesives in the mail today. I haven’t used any before, so I have a chance to compare them with my current adhesives first-hand. I didn’t realize there are different ones that scrapbookers could use. Aside from a glue stick, they also have liquid adhesives and a brand new glue dots dispenser which I first saw on CK mag. I’ll post my review here, of course.

LilyKate Matchbook Kit from Basic Grey
August 23, 2006 by Maricar · 3 Comments

This coordinating, dual printed 4″x4½” matchbook kit is new from Basic Grey. It’s part of their LilyKate line, a collection of scrapbooking papers and matching embellishments that are a departure from the richer hues that have marked Basic Grey’s offerings. I like this new look. It’s soft and pretty, yet it is still very trendy.
Sneak Peek at New Chatterbox Winter Paper
August 23, 2006 by Maricar · 2 Comments

Chatterbox will soon introduce what seems to be a new look for their winter collection. This is one of the patterns in that collection. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this blue/green/turquoise as the dominant color in any of their scrapbooking papers so far. It’s in a brighter hue than what we usually see from Chatterbox. This and the rest of the winter set will come out at Memory Trends in October.
