  1. Tim! Docrafts! Hero Arts! Excited about so many things! Thank you Kristina for filming, and Simon for posting!!!! <3

  2. HOW FUN!!!! THANK YOU Kristina for filming this! (You KNOW what we like!) LOL I LOOOOVED all the GOLD things, the “designer looking” bags, containers, & just fun to see EVERYTHING! I also LOOOOOVE the Penny Black goodies! It is SO NICE to see the LOVELY FLORAL IMAGES coming out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

  3. OMG…love it all! Art Impressions stamps…can’t wait!
    Pebbles romantic as ever! Lawn Fawn what a spread! Looks like pink is the color this year. Penny Black…love those floral stamps! Thanks for sharing.

  4. I was happy to see the industry is still going strong. Saw some unfamiliar names and lots of great product. I liked the pink love punch and everything in the Penny Black booth.

  5. Wow! Talk about being in a candy shop or happy place, that would do it for me!!
    I liked ALL of what I saw. Too hard to just choose one thing. Tee hee

  6. If Kristina ever gets tired of doing her blog (may God please forbid), she’s got another job as a videographer waiting for her. Outstanding work, Kristina – thank you! I saw tons of tasty stuff, loved the colors, the dies, and Tim’s booth always makes me weak in the knees. The XPress It Glue Marker caught my eye and I would like to check that one out when it becomes available. Along with absolutely everything else I saw, of course!

  7. Teresa Collins always has such beautiful papers, I have always loved Lawn Fawn cute stamps and matching dies. Same odd girl is new to me, will have to check them out.

  8. Thanks for the great video. I am most excited for anything Teresa Collins, new colors or distress, but love everything.

  9. There will be lots of new products flooding the market soon. I’m most excited about the new Hero Arts/Operation Write Home dies and stamps as I have a son on deployment. I’m also excited to see all the new metal/wafer dies from all the manufacturers as I’m obsessed by them. Thanks for sharing a look into all the new products.

  10. How I would have loved to be there! It’s like a candystore for grown ups! We don’t have anything as big as this here in Sweden! Loved everything that I saw!

  11. Thanks, Kristina..wish you had time to do some narrative about the products. Can’t wait to get my hands on some of these great peeks! Loved the kitty papers..

  12. TFS Kristina, and oh wow, so much, my top picks would be Graphic45, anything Tim, Prima, Crafters Companion little ladies, and Penny Black. But there was a lot more I would could take too.

  13. Well, this was a great break to take while I am at work :) ? Thanks Kristina and SSS. I want that Fiskars Love punch and way too much of everything I saw.

  14. What a wonderful presentation – thoroughly enjoyed it. The Penny Black collection caught my eye and I’m also loving all the gold glitter accents on paper, etc. There were several things that caught my eye and wouldn’t it be nice to have all of it! Where would I put it?

  15. So many great products but here are the top 3 that caught my eye in the video:
    the new Graphic45 papers, Penny Black flower stamps and then there was a really cute animal stamp set from Some Odd Girl.

  16. So much to see, thanks to Kristina for filming. Love all the gold foil stuff, the websters pages planner binders, the Heidi Swapp Lighted Marquee Letters, the HA Ombre stamp pads…and so much more!

  17. Oh My Goodness there is so much I want to try and get LOL I can’t pick out favorites…how about one of each LOL

  18. Nice work on the video, thank you. In my Freddie Mercury voice from Queen…”I want it all, I want it all…”

  19. I have now watched this video 3 times. I see something new every time. From the gorgeous pink scissors, to the mini mag mat and ruler to the new Hero Arts and Penny Black. SIGH, I wish I could have it all! I would share……. ;)

  20. Oh my goodness! I loved too much. I saw a lot of paper , some stamps, die cuts, new tools, new ink colors, some Organization solutions and the foil stuff looks like fun. Tim Holtz, Hero arts, Doodlebug, Heidi Swapp, Avery Elle, My Mind’s Eye, We R Memory Keeper’s, Little B and so many more they all caught my eye!

  21. OMG…..MIND BOGGELING…..I am in candy overload…all the colors, textures, die cuts, stamps, storage, it is AWSOME!!! Like I have said before..I NEED TO WIN THE LOTTERY!!!
    I would be buying at least 4 of everything…LOL…love it all..from Lawn Fawn to Shimelle to Heidi Swapp…Thanks so much for taking those of us who could not go to this FANTABULOUS convention of a scrapbookers, paper crafters dream. Fantastic job well done! Can’t wait to start buying! Now off to day dreaming about all I have seen! THANK YOU!!!!

  22. Wow, wonderful inspiration. I love the new Webster Pages journal, Hampton Art beads, new Lawn Fawn, We R Memory Keepers………and so much more.

  23. Especially loved the Penny Black flower stamps. Also the Hemptique spools…The Hero Arts wee animals….the Graphic 45 papers….

    I could go on, but I will stop now!

  24. Loved seeing just how much there is to see there. It would be fun to watch Tim Holtz do one of his demonstrations in person.

  25. Thanks for showing the video! Such fun! Wishing I was there in person…………. so many pretty colors ~ loved the Hero Arts new ink ~ It was fun having my virtual tour! Thank you, Kristina!

  26. It is like a sneak peek on what will be available this year! What to choose? I like the new Distress ink color – Cracked Pistachio and I have already pre-ordered it.

  27. Yikes! Where to start! I am most excited about the new distress colors!! And anything “Tim” is great! Love Lawn Fawn and it looks like there will be tons of new goodies from them. Not to mention Impression Obsession and Art Impressions! It was a fun tour, thanks!

  28. I’m excited to see several new products…can’t wait to see all Tim Holtz’s products and Hero Art’s products.

  29. I CANNOT wait to stamp with those Ombre stamp pads from Hero Arts! I kept asking myself which one I would purchase first and I just can’t pick one. I”m “afraid” they will ALL be found in my stash as soon as SSS gets them in stock! :)

  30. You have asked the impossible! Absolutely no way I could pick out one thing……such incredible goodies! I have to admit tho, that the Art Impressions stamp made me giggle…..my sweatpants always tell me that “I’m good” too. heehee

  31. Thanks for the video…great job filming Kristina. So many beautiful stamps, dies and oh the paper! New punches…wow, a girl gets giddy. Love the gold and metallics. I wish they would open this up to the public……maybe someday. Until then we will see it through the eyes of the camera! TFS .

  32. Thanks for the tour! Always good to see what’s ahead. Gotta admit, I am looking forward to the new Distress Ink and more of Tim’s stamps and stencils!
