Happy Friday! Are you ready for the weekend? We have a long weekend for President's Day and the girls are excited. Me, on the other hand, I've got work to do!
I just have some news and fun stuff to share today. Hopefully you're getting excited about seeing our new releases in person - we start shipping next week! If you're local (Columbus, Ohio area) you can already get the new products at one of our local stores (Cord Camera in Clintonville, Legacy Paper Arts in Powell, Red Letter Journals in Grove City or Scrapbook Art in Lewis Center)!
Join us tomorrow for a special Saturday treat... it's a secret so I can't tell you what it is, but it will be good!
For the cardmakers who visit this blog, even if you're not buying the kit, make sure to check out the Card Kitchen blog! We have guest designers each month as well as Teri Anderson sharing her talents with us (and Kimber too). More Jillibean Soup is over there! Here's one of Kimber's cards from last month's kit...
I love how she unzipped the zipper to show the paper.

Like I said, even if you're not buying the kit, go check it out - really great card inspiration!
How about some fun stuff? Check out Stacy Julian's top 10 favorites from CHA...
Also, I wanted to give you a heads up that Apron Strings is using Jillibean Soup again in their February Smaller than a Breadbox kit! We are almost completely out of this line so this is a great chance to get it!

Apron Strings monthly kit club mixes up three different kits each month; there’s sure to be one to suit your style and budget. Stir in a bit of cardstock, a generous helping of patterned paper and a handful of embellishments and you get a delicious kit just waiting for your creativity. Join the no-commitment autoship and you’ll get the kit each month, right to your door. Subscribing to kits is easy on your scrapping budget, too, with kits starting at just $19 a month. You’ll also find plenty of inspiration in the monthly newsletter, which is brimming with amazing examples from the Sous Chefs, a Recipe Card (from Becky Fleck of PageMaps) and a blog with examples, tips and mor. This month Apron Strings is celebrating its 7th birthday with plenty of challenges, games and prizes. Apron Strings wants to help keep you rolling in the creativity and inspiration departments. Go, join autoship and check out the Apron Strings community today!
I think that's it for today - remember to check back tomorrow.
Have a great weekend everyone!



















Can't wait to find out what the Saturday secret is! :) I have my latest card kit, I hope to play with it this weekend, finally! :)
