Crafting & Confections with Eve Chocolatier

What could be better.....crafting with The Paper Pickle and learning how to make chocolate goodies with Pauline from Eve Chocolatier?  A match made in a heaven?  Perhaps.

November 20th will be the day when it all comes together for the first time in history!  Tickets can be purchased at the store for $30.  Seats are limited so sign up early to avoid disappointment!

REMINDER.....only 6 more sleeps 'til our CHRISTMAS OPEN HOUSE!  

To quote one of my favourite movies of all time....."It's all happening."

NEW Product Alert & Open House Reminder!

We are gearing up BIG TIME for our Christmas Open House which is ONE (short) week from today (on November 13th from 12-4pm).  Are you going to be there?  Make sure to stop into the store this week to rsvp to be entered into the draw!

Check out some of the new product we just got in!

Ranger Studio Paints & Accessories

So these paints were suppose to be here weeks ago but I am thrilled to say they are now here!  These are all the rage in the mix media world!  Did you happen to catch Linda's Mixed Media class this past Wednesday at the Pickle?  I couldn't believe how much ENERGY was in the room when I walked in after class!  Every one's projects looked unique and different BUT so amazing!  I am thrilled to get in on this Tuesday's class!!

What I think is the absolute coolest thing about these acrylic paints, is that they have 15 different colours, but they show you below how to turn these 15 colours into 51 different colours!  Check it out!

Little Black Dress by Basic Grey

This was one of my favourite releases at CHA this summer!  Look how versatile these papers are...they have a gorgeous sophisticated look....a staple in any girl's paper crafting closet!  Check out this link from YouTube which shows you all the product available in this collection.  Little Black Dress  I brought in the 6x6 pads, collection kits, brads/buttons page layout kit (which I cannot wait to make!) and all 18 double sided designer papers!  If you are looking for anything else, let me know and I would be happy to order it in for you!

Have a look at a layout from Basic Grey's designers using this collection....

NEW PAGE on Facebook
So I had to convert from a Paper Pickle group on facebook to a page, as the group was set to be archived and no longer available for you to use!  So search "The Paper Pickle Company" on facebook and "like" my page.  If you do, you will be entered into a draw which will take place at the Open House!!!  Come on.....I know you like us!!!

Well, maybe I will stop here for this post.  I have an entire acre of backyard FULL of maple leaves just calling my name!  Enjoy the sunshine!!

Christmas Open House...November 13th!

Well it is that time of the year again.....mark your calendars!!! 

You all know how much we LOVE this event!  And I have a feeling you guys LOVE this event too!  (Check out the photos from last year!)  So hey, why don't you grab a friend and let them in on the best kept secret in town!   

PS......Just for fun, I have a special draw, which will take place during the Open House, for anyone who rsvp's for this event by dropping by the store between now and November 12th.  You must stop in during store hours to be entered!

What's new in October? Part 1 of 2

I am not sure what has been wrong with me lately.  I have been on this mission to get organized and de-clutter.  This is true at both home and at the store.  I mean I have totes of clothes that are too small for Jules and Colts....why?  As a side....anyone looking for girls or boys clothes from newborn-size 5 give me a call!  Ha!

And yes, I did mention that I am getting organized at the store as well.....and that can only mean some CRAZY sales.  I have over 20 different Stampingbella designs all priced at $2.00 or less.  Most of these retail at $10+.  Classics including some Stellas, bellas, kettos and more.   In fact, most of the items on the sales cart are priced at 75% off or better!  Honestly, when I get in the mood to clean.....I do it right.  PS....as a side, the regular price Stampingbella BOGO 50% sale ends Saturday!

So all of this cleaning has a purpose.....it is to make room for NEW!  We have some fabulous NEW product in the store.  Anyone looking for Crate Paper's two latest collections:  Random & Farmhouse?  I have brought in the 12x12 collection packs and 6x6 pads.

Random:  I love the colours and girly-vintage feel of this line. 

Random:  Check out the die cuts you get in the collection pack!  

Farmhouse:  This collection is just too cozy and full of love.  Such warm colours.

Have a look at this project posted on Crate's website......I am SO in love with their design ideas.  I have to admit that their layouts have me inspired and ready to tackle a 12x12 layout.  As I have told many of you, I am more of a mini album, card or wall hanging kind of girl.

Random Collection layout from Crate:  SUPER cute!  I am in LOVE!

Farmhouse Layout from Crate....WOW!

Hmmmm.....what else can I show you?  Well, I think layouts like this deserve to go in a pretty special album. And I found them.....have you seen We R's new Designer Scrapbooks?

Called Gumball.....I think Jules NEEDS this album!

This one is called Submarine!

They are all make with a faux leather and suede (even the inside covers are suede).  They are all the d-ring binders with a non-snag closure.  The books are in store now and I have a bunch of the different page protectors on the way....you know the ones that let you just add photos like a photo album and those hybrids (photo/scrapbook-y layouts).  Check out all the different designs!

If you are either:  a) afraid of 12x12 layouts.....b) have limited time these days....c)  need to complete an album in a hurry.....or d) all of the above....then these are the pages for you!  Seriously, look at the options here!  Too cool.

What else?  How about a little My Mind's Eye.  Now I have to tell you that these collections are not in store yet......however, my credit card has been charged and that can only mean that it is in transit.  I am SO in love with the kraft.....and check out the designs.  We have individual papers, collections (12x12 and 6x6) as well as embellishments coming in.  Here I introduce Kraft Funday to you.....

New Stamps?  Of course....but I may have to save this for tomorrow.  I just looked at the clock and realized that I am about to turn into a pumpkin......poof!

Here is a picture of my new favourite pumpkin.....I just found fairytale pumpkins at the little veggie stand at the corner of McNaughton and Prince Albert.  They made the most gorgeous display by my front door!  Seriously...I must go!  Goodnight......Kim
