LET'S COOK SOME MORE!

Carta Bella's "Homemade With Love" isn't new,

but you gotta love this vintage cooking collection.

You could also use the mixer die from the Echo Park

collection we looked at yesterday with this collection.

It works with both.

These papers from Canvas Corp are so versatile

You have the page on the right with all of the 

items you can cut out and use.

Then there are recipe cards in

 kraft, ivory, and white cardstock.

I photographed only the kraft ones.

Then there are the cut out pages where you

can get your labels for the different categories.

Mix them up with the Echo Park and Carta Bella Collections

to add some color.

The possibilities are limitless!

So come pick up some of these wonderful

collections and have FUN!

TUESDAY'S TEMPTATIONS FROM CARTA BELLA

Today we are going to check out some of the new releases by 

Carta Bella that were revealed at CHA. 

Just a reminder:

I am sharing what the

 manufacturers are offering, but this 

does not mean they are all going to be ordered for the store.  

The store is not big enough to hold EVERYTHING that

is offered, so Cat does her best to order what the majority

of her customers want.  

The items that Cat orders will be scheduled out and will

arrive over the next several months.
Carta Bella releases their collections one month at a time.

Carta Bella's first new collection is "It's a Celebration", a fabulous birthday collection that is available now.  You can check out everything in this collection here.

Available in February is "Sew Lovely".  LOVE it!  You can check out the rest of this collection here.

Available in March is Carta Bella's adorable "Baby Mine" collection.  You can check out the rest of the baby boy collection here.

This is the baby girl version of "Baby Mine".

My favorite piece of paper in the boy collection and

in the girl collection.  These are to die for!

Watch the Facebook page and the blog for new product as it begins arriving at the store.
FUN, FUN, FUN!!!
