Dear friends and family,

Join us in welcoming fall!

This is the season we get to play with all those earthy colors that we see in the falling leaves.

We love getting out all of our distress inks in shades of browns. oranges, reds and greens

and blending these colors to create our autumn projects.

As for inks, the new Versafine Clair inks are now shipping.

We have eight of the new colors in stock after fulfilling all of the pre orders.

The other four colors should be arriving really soon.

Halloween of course,

and Rick taught a special Halloween lantern with bats, pumpkins and witch broom!

Special thanks to Rick for another fun project!

Everyone did a great job assembling this spooky lantern!

Thank you to all who attended this fun event!
