Yay..We've FINALLY got around to creating a badge for Pineapple Cove!!! Thanks Jen & Carmel for the nudge to get my butt on this.

"Gorjuss" Calendar by UDT Jen Young

We've got exciting news to share!! Here at Pineapple Cove, we are very privileged to have the talented, funny, and lovable Cricut Queen herself, Jen Young from Pieces of Me join our "unoffical" DT. Thanks Jen for all the love and support! You are such a sunshine to be around, we're so honored to be able to showcase your amazing projects to help inspire our crafty addiction.

We hope to develop some form of Design Team in the near future...something to look forward to in the new year. So in the meantime, Jen will be inspiring all of us alongside Claudette (Islander Girl Stampin) and Leslie (JC&me), with all their paper goodness on our UDT. =)

So without further adieu....here's Jen's first piece of work for PC. A very "gorjuss" coaster calendar.

Love the Gorjuss Girl stamp called "Flower Girl" that she used in this project. They are so quick and easy to color with your copics...we've only got a few Gorjuss stamps left at Pineapple Cove, so be sure to come snatch them before they are gone!

These coaster calendars make great gifts for the upcoming holidays. We've got both the square & rectangle heavy weight coasters in stock at the store & online, so stock up and start early on your holiday projects. Coaster classes will be added soon to the class schedule.

The pretty yellow & gray DP is from Pink Paislee's "Queen Bee" paper pad. Jen also used some Smooch Ink from Stampin' Up! and embellies from her own stash. With her busy schedule, Jen also squeezes in time to be a Stampin' Up demonstrator. So if you ever have any questions or needs regarding Stampin' Up supplies, feel free to shoot her a line.

Again, warm welcome and hugz to Jen, can't wait to see your beautiful creations!!!

Beautiful Card

Claudette made us another amazing sample using two new Nestabilities die: Curved Rectangles and Eyelet Circles.

The pretty DP is another Cosmo Cricket "Togetherness" paper. I just LOVE this collection...their DP is double-sided and very thick. BOTH sides of the patterns are gorgeous, the only problem you'll have with Cosmo's DP is choosing which side to use.

Thanks again Claudie for all your beautiful cards!!

Introducing...Chic & Sassy Miss Anya's

New Greeting Farm stamps are available at Pineapple Cove!!

Introducing...Miss Anya Lounge!

They are hip, they are sassy, and they are completely adorable! Claudette made this gorgeous card using the new TGF set with Cosmo Cricket's "Togetherness" DP that is so fresh and new. We love her coloring, and if you want to learn some of her techniques, join us for a Copic Hair coloring class on Saturday Oct. 3rd. We still have some seats available.

Here's another card she made with more of the Cosmo "Togetherness" DP. The curvy label used in this card is from Nestabilities new Labels Fourteen die. All of which is in-stock and available at Pineapple Cove. These items will be uploaded to the webstore soon.

Introducing....Oliver & Amelia "Just for You"!

Oliver is so cute here eating his chocolate chip cookie! I agree..Sharing is Caring!! This set is perfect for the holidays when we start baking all the sweet & salty goodies to share with our friends and family.

So come in and get your new TGF stamps at Pineapple Cove!!

Thanks Claudie for all your beautiful samples! We all admire your work and LOVE your beautiful coloring!!

Pretty Lace & Pearls

Kaisercraft recently released some beautiful new products...pearl brads & lace packs. We've been a fan of Kaisercraft products since the very beginning when they first launched into the papercrafting industry and we are proud to be able to say that we carry the most extensive line of their products here on the island. It has been fun watching their collections grow. So without further adu....

Introducing:

Kaisercraft Pearl Brads

These large, beautiful brads will add a touch of elegance to any project!! They make great centers for your flowers, or even use it as a clasp on a purse or tote bag!

Currently available in Pink, Pearl & Latte.

Kaisercraft Lace Packs

Another great addition that I am personally excited about is their lace packs! I love the look of lace, and the best part is that you get them in 5 different sizes. They currently come in three colors, Black, White & Natural. Look at the beautiful flower that you can create with the lace, pairing it nicely with a pearl brad.

Hope this inspires you to try out some of the new products from Kaisercraft!
