welcome to day 3 of CHA sneak peeks and all things idea-ology. this one has been really difficult to keep secret since we’ve worked on this launch for the past year. so much goes into the product development of idea-ology from concept to sourcing, and since much of it is inspired by vintage elements, there is a great deal of time spent to make sure everything is just right. there are several people that contribute to turn the ideas a reality (thank you paula, mario, chris, tracey, rana). it’s hard to believe that we started idea-ology back in 2007 with a crazy product called “grungeboard”, and from there it’s grown beyond my wildest imagination…

here is the original definition i created for idea-ology:

a concept or thought developed by the mind of what is desirable or ought to be.

today idea-ology still represents that principle to me by inspiring my creativity. my hope is that it will continue to inspire your creativity as well…

i love trinkety bits and found objects. the random assortment of findings is a necessity for me and the latest addition of mini trophy cups, metal frames, adornment charms, resin roses, and the salvaged dolls are pure vintage perfection. the new typed tokens and shield charms are a must have for adding a simple statement to your projects, but of course having new ways to fasten them is important too. that’s why i think you’re going to find the mini star fasteners, loop pins, and carousel clips a new crafting necessity…
