did anyone say Die-Cuts?????
I can't thank you- each enough for the posts and comments from my sneak peak. I had so many personal emails too. THANK YOU! Okay, so today- I want to share a little bit more. This new line is named TRAVELOGUE.
I wanted to do a travel line that was EASY- similiar to journal-it- to document any trip. I made the line very universal in that you can use it to document ANY TRIP- local or international, a day at the beach, or a trip to visit a relative. I knew at CHA that I was going to do more lines that JUST MADE SENSE to me- meaning, I want to create lines that INSPIRE others and help us to DOCUMENT our memories (and make it easier to do!!!). I appreciate your comments, I read every single one of them.
So I knew before CHA that my new line would be TRAVELOGUE. This is my FIRST ever Travel line. I have been wanting to do this theme for a long time. Since I do love to travel, I wanted a line that incorporated journaling tags and icons that I love. This line has FOUR different die-cut shape papers that go with the line. Yes, FOUR. Thankfully, everyone is LOVING the die cut papers and so there will be four for this line.
I created a TRAVELOGUE book class with the these die-cut papers. Here is just a few of the pages... (ps it is a class of mine- so I will be teaching this project!!!)
This is my new black shaped chipboard album covers. They have NOT shipped yet. Brand NEW!!!
This cover is from my tag paper. Of course, I had to have a black polka dot paper. Like some of you, I LOVE polka dots. I tell my friend, Janna that I did this paper just for her. We both love them!!!
This is one of the die-cut pages. I simply put a photo of the palm trees where we stayed at.
Here is another view....more die-cut pages, mixed with tags from the 12x12 papers. I love how with the Bind it All I can customize my projects!!!!
Another view....I did this entire 26 page project in about 1.5 hours. It went fast, using the die- cuts. I cut my tags out with the Dream Kuts and it went super fast.
Here is a sneak at the various shapes and such. OUR TRIP is from the paper line- (manila background- like journal-it)
So here is my sneak peak of the die-cuts from the line. I appreciate your comments. I am thankful for your support and for all of you have asked your LSS to carry my products. It is something that I am humbled by. I made the right decision to do this on my own- with Product Performers (the most amazing distributors!!!!!), and create from my heart. I have never been so scared but excited. I am taking it slow. I do not have hundreds of sku's coming out. I am taking baby steps. I am so happy to do what I love. I feel so blessed.... I can't thank you enough.
HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY 16th BIRTHDAY GENTRY.... I love you MORE than ANYTHING you can SAY, THINK or FEEL.... (on my way to pick up her 16 pink balloons and the Banana cake that she wanted)...I'll post some photos tomorrow and of course another sneak peak.
FYI- the new line with be up on my website on April 30th. Shipping will be on MAY 1st. THANK YOU again. Also, my class for retailers at Joan Mills Rep Show- next week sold out... If your in the class email me. Thanks!!!
totally awesome, I cannot WAIT to get this new line! It's just fabulous Teresa!! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex

Pretty pretty papers! I can't wait to get a hold of them... I have something planned to use them for already!

You know I want a kit! How can I get one??? ;)
Hope all is well, kids are driving me crazy..
I went to Donna Downey's event last weekend. It was super great. You should come next year, if not to teach, to participate. I think you'd really love it. I am not a sewer, or artist, but loved the projects. I think you'd leave "inspired" !
Come back to NC--I need a Teresa fix! ha.

I love it! Congrats to my pal Kimmy for winning the goods! I made up a flat scrapper named flat Joscie and she travels around the country and visits other scrappers... sees where they create, where they shop, goes to scrap events. I made up a "travelogue" out of your bella girl papers... and a few layouts too... http://www.flickr.com/photos/joscie/sets/72157604684633628/

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this!! It looks like it's shipping as of May 1st? I'll have to call my lss to make sure they're getting some. So versatile and easy to use.
I would also love a class kit if you're thinking of selling them sans class. Or maybe you'll be in the Tampa area some time soon?
