We've Been Spoiled! :)

 

This is why we had to change our crop night to Friday.  I know....how could I forget we were going to the Mission Inn for the Color Connections Tour?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Mission Inn is absolutely beautiful, it's located in Riverside, CA.

We were completely SPOILED by Tattered Angels, Prima and Pink Paislee!  Each company had a  workshop with tons of amazing product they gave us.  Below are a few of the samples we made (I didn't finish the Tattered Angels class yet).

 
Prima "Create" chipboard book. 
 
Pink Paislee "Celebrate" layout.

BOY, OH BOY, DID WE HAVE FUN!

National Scrapbook Day was a blast and we really, REALLY tried to get the winners posted last night but we only got as far as putting the winner's names on the blog...at 2:00am...(yep, 4th night in a row!) so we had to call it a night... 

So here you go, enjoy some photos from the weekend's festivies.  :)

Our National Scrapbook Day theme started with "the fabric".  We bought this pretty fabric in LA back in February when we were there for CHA, knowing it would be the theme for NSD... 

 

Little did we know we would fine "the perfect paper" the very next day at the CHA show...Twig, by Little Yellow Bicycle.

 

Goodie boxes and giveaways...

Here's a "Tweet Friends" Banner Karen made...too cute with the theme, right?

 

We had yummy desserts and dinner (notice desserts were listed first?).

  
  

More eye candy...pretty, pretty Primas! 

 

Prima Paper? Yep...Pretty Prima Paper!

 
 
 
 
 
We have two new pretty collections by Prima, Madeline and Botanical.  No, we didn't forget the flowers - we're just making you wait a little bit longer!  ;)

Look What We Have In...

 

We have the NEW Teresa Collins Noel collection and tons of bling to go with it!  This Christmas line is so pretty it can be used for any occasion.

 

We also have the My Minds Eye Lush Collection with matching brads and albums.  You'll love the double sided papers some are even flocked.
 
 
 Oh Yeah, Prima's!  What can we say, they speak for themselves!  
 
 

Prima...As Promised!

 
Jack n' Jill Collection

 

Annalee Collection
 
 
This is a small portion of Prima's!  Come quickly, they're flying out the door fast!!!
   

We Had SEW Much Fun!! {NSD Recap}

It was a busy weekend and we're pretty exhausted but, it's a good kind of tired.  :)  We had a blast and want to thank all of the wonderful ladies who spent the last two days celebrating National Scrapbook Day with us here at Paradise Scrapbook Boutique!

Wondering who won the National Scrapbook Day drawing for the SIZZIX BIG SHOT machine and DOCTOR'S BAG???

And the winner is....

 

Kristin Lemm, come on down!

Here's a recap of the weekend if you were not here to celebrate with us...

 

We had the most delicious deserts catered by Wendy Deen.  YES, they tasted as good as they look!  We love to spoil the ladies.

 


 We couldn't have a crop without PRIMA FLOWERS, they are always a big hit (remember the flower frenzy from the Anniversary crop)?!  :)

 
 

 
 

GCD was our favorite at CHA, the designer Melody Ross (formally with ChatterBox) designs for them now, and WOW were we impressed!  We have stocked up on the Chip Art tools and chipboard, Artsy Urban paper and embellishments and Home Spun collection.  You really need to see their product in person, it's amazing!

I have to say THANKS to Deb for the beautiful sign she made for our GCD display!

 

  
 
 

 

 

What Makes You Smile?

 
 
 

We received a bunch of deliveries and here is one of them.  Prima Flowers, they always make us smile! :)  There's even more - I forgot to take pictures of the rest of them!    
 
  
  

PRIMA.....Need We Say More!

 
 
 
 
These papers are even more beautiful in person!  We brought in five new paper collections (Pistiche,Strawberry Kisses, Watercolor Rainbow, Shabby Chic and Raspberry Tea) with matching chipboard embellishments and FLOWERS.   

*** Warning, Primas go fast around here!  :)

Did We Say Prima? Oh Yeah!

 

 
 
  

  

 

 
 
  
  
We've got lots of Prima paper and pretty flowers adorning our shelves.  The last time we had Prima Flowers it started a FRENZY with the ladies!  (you know who you are) :)
 
 

Paper, Flowers, Ribbon Holders...Oh My!

  
 
Flower Soft - lots of pretty colors to choose from!

Prima Flowers - well we should say what's left of them!  We had a bit of a FLOWER FRENZY this weekend at our all day crop - we decided to pull the box of Primas out of the back room and surprise the ladies...well they surprised us and this is what happened!

 

And this is what's left!!!

 

The GOOD news is there are more Prima's on the way!
 
 
  
 

Spring Has Sprung...

Prima Style! 
If you love flowers like we love flowers, now is the time to stop by and check out the new Prima Pretties!

  

Prima Flowers - Going Fast!

You're going to want to get your hands on some of these while you still can:
 
 

A Stroll Through Memory, er, CHA Lane...

Okay, okay, we realize we're a tad bit tardy here posting about the joys of CHA (still playing catch up here, ladies!) but have we got some eye candy for you. 

It would be impossible to choose just ONE favorite thing from this mega shopping trip otherwise known as CHA (plus we realize now that we don't even have photos from all of the companies we ordered from), so we invite you to enjoy a stroll with us through CHA...

Feeling Fancy?  Here's a taste of their new Kraft Kuts line:

 

Webster's Pages has beautiful new lines with some deeper colors along with loads of beautiful new trims.  (Yes, we ordered lots of paper and lots of trim - you'll love it all!)

 

 

New magazines in da' house (almost)!  Tired of the usual CK fare?  Yep, us too, so, coming soon to your favorite store (Paradise Scrapbook Boutique, of course) are magazines and specialty issues from Stampington / Somerset!  You are going to be so inspired by the beautiful projects in these magazines!   Just don't let Karen fool you if she calls them Sunset.  :) 

    

 

Next up is pretty, pretty Prima.  Besides their beautiful flowers, they have flocked transparencies and some papers that we can't wait to surprise you with.  :)

   

 

We have pictures of samples made by our very own Christie Bryant for the Graphic 45 booth!  Beautiful as always Christie and G45 too!!  (Christie's samples are the red and blue book on the 3rd shelf, and the banner in the next picture.)  Rachiel got to check out ALL of their paper lines in person - how do you ever pick a favorite?

 

    

 

Teresa Collins makes the most amazing mini book samples and you can tell that we were all inspired by her after CHA last winter (just take a look back at some of the cool classes you took here over the last year).  Teresa has done it again with her new paper lines, transparencies, stamps and accessories - you're going to love it!

 

 

Don't you love the work of this artist, Wendy Vecchi?  We will be carrying some of her Studio 490 stamps from Stamper's Anonymous.  Look at the gorgeous flowers she made using her Studio 490 stamps, Ranger inks and the new Tim Holtz Grunge Paper:

 

 

Another reason we love CHA is that the displays can be so inspiring.  What do you think of this 7 gypsies chandelier???

 

We did some serious damage at the Sassafras Lass booth...check out a sampling of their new Vintage Yummy line!  Yummy, isn't it?

And talk about cool displays!  Sassafras Lass has these great display windows around the outside of their booth with oversized ideas from their new lines.  Check out the window and then the close up of the flower.  What's that there?  Oh yeah, they used the inside of a padded bubble envelope - so great!

 

 

 

We hope you enjoyed your stroll through CHA - be on the lookout for tons of new stuff rolling in over the next couple of months.  :)  (There's so much we haven't even mentioned yet like Cosmo Cricket, Melissa Frances, Jenni Bowlin, Crate Paper, My Mind's Eye, Maya Road, BasicGrey, K&Company, Making Memories, imaginice,  Best Creations, Graphic 45, Art Glitter, Dream Street, paper mache for projects and much, much more!)  

Also, keep your eyes peeled because we'll be updating our calendar and sending a newsletter in the next couple of days. 

And - last but not least:  To tide you over until the new stuff starts rolling in, we want you to know we hauled three huge bags of goodies (2 extra suitcases!) all the way back from SoCal - so we're freshly stocked on new ribbons, trims and flowers! 

See you soon!
