If you are into eyelets and brads you might want to check out http://www.eyeletoutlet.com/. Their tag line is “Because eyelets aren’t just round anymore” How fun is that. I LOVE a good tagline!

One of the categories of eyelets that caught my eye was the Safari Brads. I especially like the giraffes and zebras. What’s your favorite?

Even if you don’t know what a podcast is (don’t worry, you’re not alone) you should head on over to Angie Pedersen’s new podcast - Wholly Scrap! The Scrapbooking Podcast.

SIDE NOTE:
A podcast is like a radio show you listen to on your computer, save to CD or move to your MP3 player. When you get to Angie’s podcast the easiest way to listen is to just click on the grey POD button and it will play right on your computer automatically.

I just finished listening to the first issue of Wholly Scrap! and am very impressed with it. Angie did a great job. In this episode she shares some insider secrets of CHA (Craft & Hobby Association). It is so exciting to know about the new scrapbooking supplies coming out. Then she interviews Angie Warhurst of www.boxerscrapbooks.com.

Very cool. Very fun. Plus you’ll feel very technologically savvy for listening to a podcast.

Oh how cute are those little matchbooks! You know the ones that are cropping up (pun intended) everywhere. But I’ve never gotten one because I’ve thought they might be hard to fit into a layout - color wise that is.

But…Rebecca Ludens has saved the day.

She has a terrific step by step instructional article - WITH PHOTOS -that shows how to make your own mini matchbook.

Check it out!

Nancy over at Inside Scrapbooking has compiled a sneak peek list of scrapbooking stuff that is debuting (as we speak) at CHA. It is pretty fun to take a look and see all the new stuff that’s coming out. Just think, we can do it without our feet aching from walking the trade show floor.

I find the Art Declassified stamps interesting, but I don’t quite understand how to work them. (Guess it is an in-person thing.)

The BasicGrey ribbons are calling to me…

But I have to say that the BasicGrey Hang Ten Collection Pack (pictured here) is my favorite sneak peek. BasicGrey Hang Ten Pack

But wait! The 7gypsies 97% Complete new stuff is a must have too. (Scroll way down on the page to see it.)

Just head over to Nancy’s list and take a peek. Then come back and tell me what you find the most “Gotta-Have-ish”
