Ok so we wanted to say that we can't help ourselves. We got some final samples in today that we couldn't resist sharing with you. Please forgive the poor evening photography but here goes!
So our jewel topped pins - how does this cute packet of 50 pins for $3.50 sound? They are really pretty and sparkle in the light!
And we haven't shared any die cut sheer sheets yet!
Pretty cool huh - just think you can use the Maya Mists on this for a super cool effect on the paper underneath!
And finally one more product peek - this was one that we had to take our engineering brains to get right - how about an acrylic calendar stand with chipboard pages??
The stand (this one still has a protective cover on it) is made with a thick 3mm acrylic (so think thicker than our acrylic books) and comes complete with the rings and the chipboard pages to make a calendar - HOW COOL IS THAT?
And there was a couple of questions we wanted to answer about the mists so here is a list which hopefully sums up all the questions.
1. The mists will come in 8 base colors and 3 metallics (gold, copper and silver).
2. The mists come in 2 oz bottles.
3. Our mists are versitile in that you can layer a metallic under a base color to get a cool effect or if you just want a plain base color, you have that option too!
4. Cost - the Maya mists are $7.00 for a base color bottle and $8.00 for the metallics.
Here is a photo of a flower which was inked with distress ink and then then stamped ith our new oval calendar stamp to get the numbers and then the gold metallic mist applied on top.
Ok now onward for more DT inspiration! There was also a question about personal blogs for our DT, we don't have that listed but we will check on that for you after CHA. In the meantime, make sure you always check the DT blog for projects by the different DT members!
What if we start with some classic MR and new MR product? Check out this sweek album using our chipboard butterfly album, some scroll corners chipboard and some new borders chipboard for the body. Another one of our chipboard sheets features full 12" borders that you can alter for a layout easily - or cut it up and use like it is done here for the body!
Next we how about a peek at one of our new binders - this is the scroll frame shaped binder - isn't it pretty?
Next, what about a new way to use our bungelow house? Is this not crazy innovative?
And here is another take on our butterfly chipboard sheet beauties.
And while we love new stuff, we still love our classics - check out the owl stamp in action here after being stamped onto fabric and embroidered - what a hoot!
And how about a close up and full shot of our clear acrylic square accordion project we featured a couple of days ago?
And what about a crazy innovative way to use our chipboards and stamps? These are plant sticks made by placing some of our new chipboard coasters on popcicle sticks, then the clocks were stamped and heat laminated so that the times to water the plants can be written on there with a dry erase marker!
And what about this using our cupcake chipboards as a pattern for the felt cut on the front of an album then sewing the felt around the cupcake? Totally SWEET!
And with that, we want to say thank you to everyone who has stopped by these last 9 days to check out what we will be offering at CHA-S. All of these beautiful projects along with the products and the MR gang are headed up to Chicago!
Our one final surprise is that we will post a link to the full catalog here tomorrow!
Make sure you post today for one more chance at a prize packet. The winners of the 9 prize packs will be chosen on or around July 23rd and contacted and they will be posted here too! So check back. Continue to read our newsletters and check out our website for more ideas, tips and such.
Thank you for taking the time to spend it with us these last 9 days! We have lots of plans this coming fall which we will share with you once all our plans are in place. We wouldn't be able to do this without you!
Great products. I love the versitility of using the stamps in other mediums. i.e. the felt cupcake -- what a great idea for a birthday invitation.
Thanks for continuing to inspire!

I love the way the stamps chipboard shapes can be embroidered. I also quilt and embroidery work is very popular now as we combine fabric and embroidery in quilted gifts. What a fantastic idea.
