I know the new Layering Stencils are not Idea-ology, but I
cannot do a Top 5 list without them. When I saw the prototypes a while back I knew these were going to be a favorite. There are thirteen different styles to choose from. I have been working with them all week long and have found them to be a really great weight (
not too thin and not too thick) and an easy size to handle. I already have favorites...the dots (both sizes), burlap, and honeycomb. So if you can't buy them all, start with those.
I also love the idea that they are tag shaped and have a hole at the top
for a ring. So easy to store away. You can see a picture of each stencil here on
tim's blog...pages right from the Stampers Anonymous catalog.

Oh, my! You can see why these had to be in my Top Five!
Well, by the time you read this I will already be in Las Vegas and in the midst of setting the booths. I won't be blogging from the show because (quite frankly) the darn hotel internet connection is $15 a day. Geez I hate that.
What I will be doing is taking pictures throughout the show. If you would like to follow along on Instagram my name is
luckyday. Who knew?
Have a great week everyone!
carry on,
paula
I think I'm most excited about the stencils!! Love, love!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you love them because they are way up on my list of "can't waits". Can't wait to hear about your view of CHA!
ReplyDeleteLove your tags with the new stencil backgrounds... Now, if only I could think of how to make similar beautiful tags...
ReplyDeleteHave a great time at the show. I understand about the $15 per day internet fee at a hotel. Plus, you are going to be super busy.
