So I had occasion to pop into Michael's Crafts after work today. I'm going to a Happy Hour on Friday night to celebrate a co-workers promotion and I was hoping to try to make some cool denim jacket earrings for her. My friend Heidi had the brilliant idea for them and as usual, I'm always willing to put off the things that HAVE to get done to take on some new random project! :-)
Anywho, so guess what people!? When I was in Michael's by little peepers beheld the most incredible sight...Amy Butler scrapbook paper! HIKEY SCHNIKEY that makes me happy! Is this new? I sure hadn't seen it before. In fact, I was pretty much blown away by all the cool scrapbook goodies Michael's is now carrying. I absolutely always prefer to go to the independent shops but man, I absolutely could not resist buying some. Oh and also, they were still stocking the shelves with the new Martha stuff. I just may be able to buy more than exacto blades and glue sticks with my 40% off coupons!
I've been working on my justjohanna Design Team assignment for April these last few nights and I wanted to share with you right away the one I made using Amy Butler paper...two words...YUMMY!
Okay...I'm off to do some more crafting! See ya later and don't let your dingle dangle! :-)
LOL! I saw it and ALMOST bought it, but I was able to resist. But now that I see you using it... I think I need to go back. It's yummy. They had cleared space for the Martha stuff but hadn't put it out yet when I was there earlier this week.

Cute and cheery card :)
I was at Michaels today too! They had just filled the shelves with the brilliant Martha stuff. I didn't notice any Amy Butler paper, but saw a ton of K & Co stuff. I'm in Heaven!

Oh...is she not the BEST??? I love ALL that is Amy Butler! She was with the NRN company for about 5 months. I ordered it for Art House. Then...GONE. POOF. I am thinking that wasn't a good match. K&Co. really is. They market things so well.
My mom lives in Corvallis and she got me the Amy Butler 12x12 scrapbook bag at a little local shop last week. I truly slept with it BY MY BED so I could wake up looking at it!!!!
Do you ever go to Bolt on Alberta? She has ALL of Amy's fabrics. I am making an Amy apron right now. Wish me luck on THAT!
Hope to see you at the shop soon...maybe Last Thursday????? That's tonight!!

Well jeez! I was in Michaels the other night too. Did you see those HUGEASS margarita and wine and brandy and martini glasses? I was thinking how fun would those be for my next cocktail party...
But anywho, can you believe I didn't even LOOK at the papers while at Michaels? Shocking!
