As many of you know, I am a recreational shopper. I love shopping for new products as much as I love crafting with them. The following photos are of just a few of the exciting craft items I recentlybought from Ben Franklin Crafts. The major part of my purchase consisted of K and Co. "Travel " series of papers, borders, tags, vellum, etc. I am really attracted to this line of ocean themed products. I think they are perfect for summer holiday scrapbooking, cards and gift crafts. If you are a resident on an island, you will find that these K and Co. products can be used all year round for local style crafting.
Another fun summer inspired find at BFC was a boxful of inexpensive rolls of American Crafts ribbon with summer colors and summer themed words. These will be delightful on any happy summer craft project. I was walking by the floral department I couldn't help grabbing a wreath-like roll of lavender and green. These pretty artificial flowers will certainly find their way onto some of my spring/summer creations. My last exciting find was from the bead department. This new Cousin's product called 'Snap and Style' is a very clever, very simple jewelry item. There are many bases (pendants, rings, etc.) which pair with a wide assortment of parts that snap into the base. I am really impressed by this jewelry because the looks achievable are endless and beautiful. Even more impressive is that the snap-on buttons can be snapped off and interchanged with other bases. To top it off ,the Snap and Style jewelry is really inexpensive but has a high quality look. I know I'm going back to get more parts...such a deal! Hope I see you shopping at Ben Franklin Crafts. Thanks for stopping to read my blog and leave a comment if you have the time....I love hearing from you!
