It is finally time for me to reveal the BIG SECRET! This is the product that I had THE MOST FUN creating!!! For those of you who know me, you know my "signature" technique is making paper flowers from vintage books. Finding a book with the right kind of paper and content is a problem, though. This periodical (which will be released 2x a year) is the solution! We sourced countless types of paper in various weights and colors to find the paper that reacted just right to Spritzing, wrinkling, and holding it's form when made into a flower. Plus each of the paper's pages can be cut into quarters to fit into most die cut machines.
I loved the idea of the paper but was a little concerned with filling up 8 PAGES of content!!! Once I got started, you will see that I decided to just have fun with it. There are 2 serious articles on the front page, the second is the step by step instructions on how to make my flowers and except for a few real ads, the rest is just FUN. I have a whole page of fake ads, a page of word games and definitions, a page of maps, and some funny "scrappy" horoscopes that I made up... just to name a few things. We will be using the Chronicle along with the Spellbinder's dies and Smooch Spritz to make paper flowers as a make n take at the show. Hope you can swing by the booth! #3970.
Leave a comment here and you may be one of SIX different people who's name will be drawn to win a FREE Crafty Chronicle! Don't forget to leave a comment on the posts below to be entered into the drawings for my other new products as well.
This is the last of my new products... the sneak peeks are all done! Wish me LUCK!
PLEASE NOTE: I was going to pick ALL the winners BEFORE CHA... but I'm going to wait until after the show is over. I'm going to be so SWAMPED before and during the show and don't want to stress about this. I figured you all wouldn't mind, especially since the prizes aren't being mailed until February anyway.
Thanks for stopping by! Hugs ~D~
This is so perfect! Can't wait to meet you at the convention!

Acid free newsprint...I can hardly control myself. Who needs a green thumb when we can make paper flowers that won't yellow and die. Fabulous concept Donna. Love it!

LOL, I'm signed in as POUT (Purveyor of Useless Trivia), but just so you know, this is Pam, not Coco. Coco has only vital trivia, but POVT doesn't make a word. LOL

Oh Donna, I love your stuff. and It is all going to work SOOOO cool with Copic markers. I can't wait to play. You need to come down to Yellow bird adn we'll do a combined class or something!! So sad I couldn't make it to CHA this winter :-(

That is such an awesome idea, Donna. So unique. I would have so much fun with newspaper on my pages.

I can hardly wait to see the paper and try my hand at making your trade mark flowers. They'll be cute in my daughters scrap box I'm doing for her room.
