Can you handle another post about paper???

We surely hope so because we have some more fantastic paper collections to unleash upon our public! We are in the process of adding more supplies to our Doullina Empire and since we’re such generous gals, we thought we’d offer some opportunities for you to add to your own collections. Fun, right? So, this week, we’re pleased to announce the arrival of some fab papers from the truly unique Crate Paper Collections. We have a limited number of these fun paper collections available in our Doullina Shop so head on over for a gander!

Paper Paper Paper

Have we mentioned (about a thousand times) how much we love the Bohemia line by My Mind’s Eye? Today, we’re pleased as punch to open the lid on our beloved paper stash and offer up some of these fabulous sheets to those of you who appreciate the finer papers in life! The 2 lines, “Merry” and “Believe” are characterized by gorgeous greens, reds, browns and blues and feature some of the cutest reindeer, swirls, stripes and polka dot patterns available! They would make an excellent addition to any scrap collection (face it, us scrapbookers are essentially supply collectors..ha!!), and perfect for your Christmas Past, Present & Future projects. We’ve added a ton of our favorite coordinating embellishments to each of the paper lines to create these fun kits, available in our Doullina Shop

An Evening @ Blue Dog Arts

We recently had an opportunity to spend some quality time with our good friends at Blue Dog Arts in Delmar. We showed up at Tracie’s doorstep with our class kits, Cricut, embellishments, and goody bags ready to teach our very first Scrapbooking Workshop! We quickly unloaded our supplies and set up our workspace before taking a stroll around the shop to check out all of the new treasures. In addition to a lovely display featuring several of our creations, she has a fantastic collection of art supplies, handcrafted jewelry, art kits, handmade purses, books, and lots of great gift ideas for the kiddos!

Paving our own way here at Doullina!

First we got our hands on some custom Doullina shirts…we thought we were Big Time! Then we added our official looking card spinner to the craft show display…we really thought we were Big Time! Now (pause for effect), we are beside ourselves with glee to announce the latest….

Four Fanciful Fairies

Nope, that’s not the name of our latest altered product, it’s one of our new friends who just opened up her own Etsy.com shop: Four Fanciful Fairies
We were neighbors at last weekend’s craft fair and we were very excited to discover that she just opened up shop on our beloved etsy. She makes the most incredible custom tutus, hair bows and headbands out of the fanciest tulle and ribbon imaginable. Such a nice lady and her work is truly remarkable, you have to check it out. What great gifts these would make for those special little princesses on your list!

Hamagrael was a Hit!

What a fantastic day we had at the Hamagrael Craft Fair! 1/2 of the Dynamic Doullina Duo was out of commission for the day, but we were lucky enough to enlist the help of one of our closest friends (and biggest fan!) to help out for the day. Angel and I had the best time chatting with all of the lovely people who were kind enough to stop by our booth for a visit. In addition to selling lots of our fun cards, tags, advent calendars, clipboards, mini albums, framed layouts, and cd tins, we were able to spread the word about our upcoming classes and our 12 hour crop (see our “Events” section above). Great day all around and many thanks to our kindest patrons and friends!
