Coming in August!

Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) are coming to the Factory!

Usually the size of playing cards (2 1/2"x3 1/2"), ATCs are mini works of art created with trading in mind. Artists (that is us) create the cards using scraps and mini treasures, some are very vintagey, some more contemporary. The great thing about ATCs is that there really are no rules! You create what you want, how you want- stamp them, ink them, draw on them, collage them, whatever! You can create unique one of a kind works of art or multiples of similar cards. Once you have a supply of cards, you then head to a meet up and trade with other artists!

Look for other details and information soon. Until then, get to work on your cards!

BasicGrey Blowout!

If you love BasicGrey, you won't want to miss our fabulous BasicGrey sale July 10 and 11! Buy any 10 BasicGrey papers and get 10 more FREE! There is no limit! We still have limited quanities of the Sweet Pea and Black Tie lines that have been discontinued. Don't miss this great chance to stock up on a real customer favorite!

What is NYOBC?

You've seen it on the store calendar and probably wondered "What is NYOBC?" NYOBC stands for Not Your Ordinary Book Club. It is a kit and idea book program by Pinecone Press Books. Each month club members come together to review the previous month's book and share their projects and ideas inspired by the book and kit. The club leader (Tammy) leads the group in a project that introduces them to the next month't kit and book which they take home at the end evening. New members are always welcome! If you are interested in joining or learning more, contact the store.
