Do you remember the schedule for the BLOG that we posted a while back? Wednesday was supposed to be a "whatever" day filled with random musings, fun information, teaching and travel updates, etc. Today I thought I would post the upcoming teaching schedule for Ti at the CKC's and Scrapbook Expos.
Then I thought "how boring" So when I found this picture I decided to ...
We spied these moxie fab creations from a terrific lady in the U.K. Her name is Anna Moore and she is wonderful. I think the perfection of her paper crafting is that she really "gets it" when it comes to the bright and bold nature of our products but her designs are clean and simple. Those things combined make for a stunning end result. Every ...
Now that my CHA hangover has subsided, I can now reflect back and remember how much scrapbooking means to me. I have met so many wonderful people through scrapbooking.
I have made two friends that live far away from me that I email with every single day. We tell each other everything. This is a special kind of friendship. We never would have met had it not been for scrapbooking.
While at CHA-Summer this year with the Tinkering Ink booth, I made ...
We have a winner... Comment #42 Jen the detective pickle is the winner! Next week is Stamp give away with MSE on Freebie Friday!
Hey Jen send us an e-mail with "pea tote winner" in the subject line... give us your address and phone number and shirt size and we will send your fun CHA prize right out!
When we were at the CHA we saw tons of great stuff! Making Memories has a new cutting product called the Slice and they gave us a cute fresh green apron to give away! No it is not the actual SLICE it is only the cute apron. The SLICE isn't available to ship yet.
We attended the 2Peas Social and have a really cute Tote from them to give away with two of their pins.
So we had to keep a few things secret until the show... Here are our new "Rip Strips" They are printed-cotton-stickyback-canvas. They have little cuts at the top and bottom of the strip so it is easy to start ripping your strip! You can fringe them, ruffle them, pleat them... heck you can do sooo many things with them! Stacy Julian had fun playing with them. Linda Harrison like the satisfying sound when she "ripped" them! Click here ...
AND yet another new product... our "Reflection" transfers are the perfect mirror image of each other so you can use them on acrylic pages and you get them same image on both sides. Just rub one on one side of the acrylic and then flip it over and rub the second transfer on the other side of the page. Watch the video clip of Ali Edwards loving them... of course she ...
Just wanted to share a quick glimpse of the cute outfits all of the girls had on the second day . Here is the team of gals that we had helping us at our booth. Emily, Michelle, Summer and Linda were all AMAZING and we couldn't have had more fun getting to spend time with all of them.
The last day of the show we all said our goodbyes and had some friends stop by to say hello. We were ...
We're back from another fun day at the CHA and we're happy to report we had a FAB day! It was great to see Tim Holtz and Diva Danielle from the Diva Craft Lounge and many other wonderful friends. While we were out picking a few things up this evening we saw something funny and just had to share.
We drew the Beadles and Melting Pot winner and it is JENN comment #41!
Hey Jenn, e-mail us at ...
Yep it is HOT and Humid in Chicago but that is NOT why we are melting... We are melting because we have been using the Ranger/Suze Weinberg UTEE melting pot and it is fabulous! Below is a video of Suze and I playing with the pot and the beadles. We have made some super fun bracelets! I showed Suze how we used her fab-pot to create our make-n-takes and you will see we even sang together! She ...
Paul here again with a report from the second day. We've got a few more little things to do and we'll be redy to go. All of our team has now arrived safely and we are excited to all be in Chicago and looking forward to a having a great time together. As promised here is the video we quickly shot before we where leaving the show floor today!!- Paul

MORE SNEAK PEEKS TOMORROW!
So Paul cooked up this Freebie in the Ti office the other day…
We all love it when everyone leaves comments… and we read all of them…and although we have almost 1,000 readers a day; sometimes we only get 7 or 8 comments.
So today we put everyone’s comments from the sneak peek days in a draw and picked one for each day! Posted on July 11, 2008

Save the world, Respect Mother Earth, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle... Tinkering Ink is doing its best to do all of the above. Our bECOming green line is just that, becoming green. 100% recycled and 30% post-consumer waste gives you a clear conscience to paper craft and Mother Earth the respect she deserves. Are you green? Let's do it together. Debuting at Summer CHA 2008, this collection will be available as a collection ... “Retro Metro” brings a nostalgic charm to each of its papers, whether you’re eating a Lola’s Pie Diner or playing bridge with Bernice and the girls. Transport yourself back to the 1950’s for retro patterns mixed with modern-day colors. Red lipstick and saddle shoes... this line is bold, bright and beautiful just like those ladies of the past. Some of you may know this already...but I am all about some bright, happy colors! And this Retro Metro so makes me happy! ... Beau Jardin means "beautiful garden" in french. And oh my gosh! The design team has truly outdone themselves. They have created some incredibly beautiful layouts and cards using the new Beau Jardin line. This card by Jaime Lynne Lea just makes me happy. I admit it right now. The papillion paper is my favorite! Love this butterfly layout by Betsy Veldman. Oh what a beautiful day it is here in North Carolina...a magical 90 degree day filled with hot sticky humidity. So to help cool things off and get ready for the approaching Christmas holidays, the Tinkering Ink design team is ready to share all of our creations using the new Yuletide 2 Collection. It's Christmas by Pam Callaghan. Sparkle by Jillian Deiling Happy Holidays by Daniela Dobson Our readers might already know that Tinkering Ink is a blended company... Paul is an American and I am a Canadian. He was born in Las Vegas and I was born in Winnipeg. Polar opposites to say the least. Well this past week was full of festivities for our family. We started with a Canada Day celebration on July 1st and ended tonight with Independence day fireworks. Both of these holidays are ... Here are the reasons why I love this tool...It is great for making flash cards for your kids, I also love using it to cold laminate mini scrapped pages and then bind them into a book ... bECOming green...
Retro Metro all the way!
Beau Jardin - Oh so beautful
Christmas in July
