As some of you know I always like asking you for advice for which products you would like to see us selling. The last time I asked, a lot of people mentioned Spellbinders and we got the complete line.
CHA summer is only 1 month away. It is the best time to bring in new product lines.
Anything in particular you would like to see here? I do value your opinions.

Hi Dani, I am only one person but I have been buying : Queen & Company Felt Fusion. I only like the new thin strips as I find the larger stips too overpowering. I did buy a couple but only cut individual shapes from it and it is wasteful. Peel-off ( Outline ) Shape sheets. Right now I buy them in England and have them shipped here to Canada. I am not sure what price they would be. Here in Canada I would have to pay $4.00-$5.00 per Sheet. That is why I buy them from England. I will have to put my thinking cap on.  I will be a little more limited with ideas as I live outside the USA. So many things are so expensive here and then I have 10% tax on top!  Laura.  <>< |

I'm always interested in brads and eyelets for some reason. I've been looking for those 1/16" eyelets because they fit PERFECTLY in the QuicKutz baby onesie snap holes...but i cannot find them!

Emily, I'm with you. Love those 1/16 eyelets for so many things and the only place to find is from friends who are willing to share/give the love or ebay. Is anyone still making them Dani?

Stickles!
I think that QK, die-cutting in general and Stickles go hand on hand.
Also journaling stamps.... you can never have too many.
Flourishes, and other stamps are very IN right now.
Maya Road have very cool designs. Imaginisce have some very cool and super-duper affordable $1.00 can't-live-without stamps.
Oh, that awesome Fiskars Water Threading Punch is the most sought-after scallop punch this year...now don't stock on those like ten thousand as trends always come and go, but I paid an obscene amount on that auction site for it.
The Pull-Ez ribbon purse...EVERY scrappers needs one.
The Crafter's Workshop templates
The crop-a-dile...need I say more?
I would say try and little bit of everything and see what works best for your store and clientele.
Keep in mind that acrylic stamps are really cool, but they tend to get yellowish with heat and long storage.
Pattened paper and those are cool, but trends come and go and they can make your shipping more expensive due to their sizes.

I agree with you. Not all type of eyelets and brads as they are not mainstream right now, but those 1/16 eyelets....those are very hard to find.  |

Clear Journaling stamps that are inexpensive are on my wish list!
Inque Boutique and Imaginisce have bargain priced stamps. Inque Boutique has some very cute journaling stamps.

I would love to see book making supplies. Sheets of chip board, mat board, book binding tape, wax linen thread and such supplies. I enjoy making books, albums and journals. ;D

Hi Dani,
I just thought of something....Cheap acrylic albums, such as words like Weekend, Vacation, soccer ball, train, cowboy boot.

I second Inque Boutique. The bigger sets seem to be hard to find and I love the quality. Kind of the best of both worlds. Some of the clear stamps yellow really quickly.
Now I'm glad I got all colours of the 1/16 eyelets when I discovered them on Ebay back in 2005. I love them! They are by Making Memories.

This is an idea, there are quite a few military retirees, people whose fathers were in different branches of the military in the North America and Europe, there is one book that would help those in creating special pages for their loved ones called, "Military Moments" by written by Thena Smith.
For Instance, the words of inspiration and honor are incredible. For the 4th of July to Memorial Day, Veteran's Day, are very touching and honorable to those who serve or served.
For instance:
Memorial Day
A very special day
Our country set aside
To honor those who served us
With dignity and pride
****************
I go up to Wilamette National Cemetary where my father and brother are interned and have taken pictures of the poems that they have up there for my memorial books of them.
All I can say is that this book is incredible and would help those who are working on military / remembrance pages.

Oh, definitely the Inque Boutique journaling stamps. I have a few, and hope they keep coming out with more! And 1/16th eyelets would be fantastic!
