We hope you enjoyed the Dear Lizzy and Amy Tangerine blog hops this week. From all the responses, I think you did!
Today we have our first full reveal of a Winter 2012 collection. The line is called Gardenia, and it is — you guessed it — full of flowers and other gardening accouterments. It utilizes bold and muted colors, lightly mixed with a green-thumb's mainstays: butterflies, blossoms, clouds and watering cans.
Gardenia invites you to stop and smell the flowers with a bouquet of a dozen patterned papers that help you capture springtime and everyday memories with its versatile, fun-filled designs.
Adding to the fragrance of crafting are unique wooden buttons and clothespins, plus ever-popular Thickers, clear stamps and Delights (and more!), making in all a simply beautiful arrangement.
So what do ya'll think? What makes your little crafting heart skip a beat? Tell us in a comment below, and on Monday, Jan. 23, we'll pick one of you to win the whole Gardenia line for yourself!
P.S. Be sure to come back tomorrow for another reveal — of our new line called Fresh Squeezed.
Nice! Off to share this sneak peek with our readers via our intense CHA SNEAK PEEK coverage at PaperCrafter's Corner!
