Succulents are some of the hippest plants out there, thanks in part to their hearty nature and gorgeous varieties. You'll find them in bridal bouquets, garden stores and in the impulse buy area of the grocery store. It's about time they grace our scrapbook pages!

A NOTE FROM TRICIA

We have been on a waiting list to exhibit at the Mesa, AZ, Scrapbook Expo for four years. We finally got word that we have a booth at the show! Southwesterners, mark your calendars for September 15-16, and we'll see you there. We've also added the Milwaukee Scrapbook Expo on April 21-22.

WHAT'S AHEAD?

The Delft art style is over 750 years old and is the inspiration for our March collection. The classically beautiful shades of blue and iconic images will be interpreted with a modern twist. We've also carefully chosen a perfect accent color for the palette.

KIT AND COLOR DETAILS

After hours of searching for the perfect script font for this collection, we finally settled on Callove. We complemented it with two clean, san serif fonts including Gravity and Aaargh.

We stuck to neutral tones when stamping artwork on the Succulents papers. Our classic India Black, Onyx, White Pigment, and Parchment Pigment were perfect. Other art mediums including chalk pastels, embossing powders, and acrylic paint provided additional color inspiration.

DELUXE LAYOUTS

The Deluxe kit also contains a fun Jacob's Ladder Project and video tutorial. (See the blog on Friday for details.)

GREETINGS TO GO

Our most unique card in the Greetings to Go kit is a 4.25x5.5" card with a feature known as a "Dutch fold." The top flap opens up, and the bottom left and right flaps open outward, allowing the card to stand up on its own.

Get ready to take an even closer look at this beautiful collection tomorrow!
