it's amazing to me that july is here
and along with it cha summer!

summer time flies way faster than any other! and it's a good thing as i am about a month away from welcoming a new baby!  in anticipation of my new arrival, our team at advantus set a goal to get our new releases in stock before cha summer! and we are delighted to announce that the majority of our summer release is available and we will be shipping orders as soon as we get back from the show! how exciting is that? (we are getting the hang of this thing after all!)

 here is your chance to get a look at the new items we will be showing at cha summer in chicago. we've decided to allow you to check things out and place your orders before the show!  we are even extending the show pricing to you for a very limited time...but only for the new releases. you have to stop by the booth to get the show specials on everything else (including some amazing deals on a number of items we priced at a super discount for the show).

i have had my hands on the real deal product for a couple months and it's some fun stuff! i am so excited for more reasons to use the cute little iron, more styles and types of journaling spots...i love journaling spots!  and the 'bling' frames seriously make my day!  another exciting thing... we changed our rub-ons... so just wait 'til you see how easy they are now... we'll be getting the word out on that big change!

this go around, i decided to include a few tips and ideas for education on some of our more 'advanced' products in the catalog.  these pages will give you some insight for teaching and demonstration in your stores.  trust me, if you show people what to do with masks, silhouettes, acrylic stamps, and ghost, they will fly off your shelves! i am continually amazed by the power of demonstration!

thanks so much for your continued support and loyalty!  we appreciate your business.

all the best at cha!

eat some chicago pizza for me!
