Just Discovered: Rogue Redhead Designs

  

Rogue Redhead Designs offers a growing collection of rubber stamps.I became acquainted with these stamps via a fellow Scrapbook News and Review Staffer. Vicki just joined the DT and she has created a fabulous mini album for her first project. I must say that I like the behind the scenes set the best. Looks like they will be having some more new release coming soon. So it's worth keeping an eye on their website.

Just Discovered: Artchix Studio

I have a tiny obsession with wood shapes. I love them in all different shapes and sizes. So when a fellow instagrammer had some very cool and unusual wood shapes on her feed, I just had to investigate. ArtChix Studio has quite a few shapes in natural tones or painted. They look absolutely gorgeous and the prices don't seem too bad.

I fell in love with these wooden dolphins and I placed a very small order. I must say that I am also inspired to decorate my own wood shapes now that I have seen hers.

Just Discovered: Vintage from Japan

I love stencils and am always on the lookout for unique designs for my layouts. I recently discovered a few interesting gems at Vintage from Japan's Etsy store.




I am especially fond of this particular stencil. If you like stencils, they currently have over 300 in stock. The only thing I am not sure of is whether or not you are supposed to decorate with the vintage stencils or if you can really use them( which is my intent).




I could see myself creating a large circle with this stencil.

The store also carries vintage stamps. Some of those might be interesting to add to my collection in the future.

Just Discovered: Avery Elle Stamps

I always consider stamps to be a good investment. This is especially true if you select ones that you can see yourself using time and time again. Here are a couple of stamp sets on my wish list from Avery Elle.




This set on the left is called Bright days. I think it would be perfect for creating some graphic bursts on my layouts.


















I can envision myself creating some wonderful custom backgrounds with the Fanfare Clear Photopolymer set. I am envisions waves and beach layouts.







The Ikat Clear photopolymer stamp set has a really cool feel. Kind of like chevrons meets wood veneer in a funky sort of way.

Just Discovered: About a Boy Challenge Blog

It's brand new and just opened.  If you scrap about boys, then it's the place for you. I am lucky to be scrappy acquaintances with two of the DT members. I hope you will stop by and share your boy layouts with them.

Just Discovered: Zeus and Zoe

I recently came across this sweet  little etsy shop during my on-line exploratons. I am always looking for unique stencils and bits of ephemera to hoard. Zeus and Zoe has a variety of both. Here are a few selections that are being added to my wish list.

This Chevron Stencil certainly caught my eye. 

A Palm Frond Stencil would be awesome for some island layouts.

 The engineering stencil is more like 4 stencils in one.

 I always love Ephemera. Every packet is like a small surprise gift.

 There are a lot of chipboard options, but I have never before seen chipboard zipper pulls with little phrases on them! These are a must have!!!

Just Discovered: Farmhouse Paper Company

I've been watching tons of CHA posts over the past several days. I know many of you have too. I just discovered this company on one of the recent posts from WriteClickScrapbook.com. They are called Farmhouse Paper Company. I am loving the vintage vibe and color selections of their paper lines. Here are a few of my favorites:



Fair Skies has a wonderful variety of travel style papers. Have I mentioned my addiction to travel themed papers?

These flowers from the fair skies collection really caught my eye. I love the inked edges.



I love the retro colors of the Market square collection. These would be easy to use in a fun fresh way!

Both of these are on my wishlist now and I will be sure to keep an eye on this paper company for future releases.

Just Discovered-The Dark Room Door

Occasionally, I come across new sources of unusual or interesting supplies, as was the case this morning. I was perusing Twitter when I saw that Connie Mercer had been invited to join a new creative team called The Darkroom Door. I confess that the name is what drew my attention. So I clicked the link and discovered a wonderful world of new materials.

Several things caught my eye immediately. The first one being robots. My son loves them and has a nice little collection from when he was small. These little guys would be a lot of fun on a layout. There is a lovely set of montage sheets, patterned paper, and chipboard elements.




The second item to really grab my attention were the selection of background stamps. I especially loved the The corrugated iron, marbling and button backgrounds.




Sadly, It's not in my budget to purchase today. If I did, I would consider one of their warehouse boxes. I love surprise gifts. Getting a warehouse box is like buying yourself a mysterious surprise. I have gotten good at using things or altering them to fit my needs, so I never worry about whether or not I will like everything in the box itself.

I have decided that during 2013 I will share newly discovered resources such as this one. I don't know how frequently that might occur. You will just have to stay tuned into the blog to see.
