seriously bloggers – you ARE as excited about the configurations as i am! thanks for all of the kind words. i'm telling you the possibilities are going to be endless with those – i can't wait! they will be hitting the stores in september in plenty of time for your holiday projects and gift ideas. as the days are ticking away, i still have so many to-do lists around here it's insane. one list i'm almost finished with is my sneak peek list of all of my new cha-summer products –
let's see…
stampers anonymous…..check!
ranger…..check!
idea-ology…..check!
then i guess that leaves one more company…sizzix alterations! i can't tell you how thrilled i am at how well received the alterations line was. quite honestly it was only planned to do one release a year in the line, but with everyone's support of it, they asked me to do a summer release too – thank you everyone! if you liked the first release of alterations just WAIT until you see what i have coming your way this time…let's just say it's enough stuff to fill the rest of the week on the blog and ending with one of the biggest and most "cutting edge" (pun intended) products i've ever designed! for today, however, let's start with some dies…t!m

another die with great possibilities is this tree. whether you see at as a creepy scary tree, or a winter touched snow tree, you'll be seeing some incredible transformations with this "branch tree "die – i have ideas i'm telling you, just wait and see…
i think the weathered design of my dies have such potential when you create with them. this one for example the "rickety house" can been used for a spooky haunted house with spider webs just waiting for trick or treaters, or perhaps a quaint holiday cottage with smoke drifting out of the chimney and adorned with lights and garland, or even perhaps a beach bungalow with shabby paint and accented with sand and seashells. whatever your imagination can dream up you become the creator…
another favorite season to stir up the imagination of a child is halloween. marked by classic icons of this time of year, halloween wouldn't be complete without a few eerie elements (and a little candy wouldn't be bad either). these next two dies "bewitching hour" and "raven and scaredy cat" have a touch of nostalgia with their silhouette design. whether it's a seasonal card, mini book, or scrapbook page, these devious designs will add just the right amount of fright…
