NEW Anthologies Design Team and The Addiction that is HSN

I'm designing for a kit club again and I'm really excited to be doing so.  Anthologies by Me is a brick & mortar store in the Dallas/Ft Worth area and they will be launching their non-subscription kit club, Anthologies Connection, on April 1st.  The kits are enroute to designers and Tracy Pounds, Creative Director, is being uber secretive with the contents.  Please visit the other talented gals that will also be designing with their fantastic kits.

Stay tuned for project sneaks and the launch of Anthologies Connection's first kit, April 1st 2010.

Ok, I admit it.  Shopping on the Home Shopping Network is a huge weakness of mine, especially when it's National Crafting Month.  Honestly, I like watching the crafting shows because do I see how a product works...but I'll see aI catch a few techniques that are completely new to me.  And sometimes, I get suckered into making a purchase because there are items that are specific to HSN like this one...

This is the Raspberry Cuttlebug only found at HSN.  I had a Cuttlebug a couple of years ago, but I never used it and ended up selling it.  Now that I'm making cards more frequently, I want another one.  But not the yucky green one, I want this one!  The Raspberry Cuttlebug Bundle includes:

• Swiss Dots embossing folder
• D'vine Swirl embossing folder
• Spots and Dots embossing folder
• Snowflakes embossing folder
• Happy Birthday embossing folder
• Victoria embossing folder
• Birds and Swirls embossing folder
• Lace Tree embossing folder
• Stylized Flowers embossing folder
• Just My Type border set (5 pcs.)
• With Love border set (5 pcs.)
• Frills border set (5 pcs.)

And as if that wasn't bad enough.  There's this HSN exclusive cricut cartridge Straight from the Nest.  The images on this bad boy are too cute for words and perfect for the every day card maker.

I've been wanting an electronic diecutter for a few months now but the cost has always held me back.  I may have to rework my scrapbook budget and purchase this bundle that they're offering.

It includes:

• Straight from the Nest full content shapes cartridge 
• Songbird full content font cartridge 
• Forever Young full content shapes cartridge 
• Sentimentals full content shapes cartridge 

And no...I'm not getting anything from Provo Craft, or HSN, for talking about these items.  I'm just a crafter trying to talk out dropping a fair amount of $$$ on some crafty gadgets.  So there you have it...  not a lot of crafting, just a lot of window shopping.
