We have all the dies in stock.  There are so many amazing ways to use these dies -- we all know what a genius Tim Holtz is -- this line proves it!  You have to come in and have a look - the hardest thing is deciding which one to buy!  A favourite is the Tatterd Florals die.

Happy Birthday, Raya!

Guess who turned another year older and wiser this past week???  Raya!  We had to patiently wait for her to return from her week in Mexico and when she got back today, we surprised her with this!

We tried to hide behind the counter after our "spy" (who we sent outside to await her arrival!) came running in to tell us she was on her way in.....but our timing wasn't quite right and we didn't time our jumping out from behind the counter to yell "SURPRISE" at the right moment.  Clearly, we will need to work on our execution for next year!

Happy Birthday, Raya!  May all your wishes come true!

Memory Box Paper and Stamp Club

We want to remind you that the Stamp Club will be meeting again this month. For this month, it will be on Saturday, March 27 from 9 - 11 AM at the False Creek Community  Centre. You are welcome to drop by to trade stamping ideas and to have a great time!  The drop in fee is $2.

Also, if you haven't yet seen these papers, you have to!  We have beautiful Memory Box papers in stock.  The designs on these papers lend themselves beautifully to scrapbooking and cardmaking alike.

For those of you that are cardmakers, we also have 2 gorgeous 6X6 paper pads, also from Memory Box.  There are lots of card samples using these papers in the store.  Come on in and check out the endless ideas!

Colour. The Final Frontier.

All cardmakers know that the final finishing touch to any open stamped image is the perfect shade of colour.....just that right hint of green, or touch of yellow, the perfect finishing touch to a masterpiece.  At I'm Impressed we have all the tools you need to add that final step.

Gel pens in every colour of the rainbow!

Flock and glitter that add pizzazz!

Copic markers that complete the look!

And of course, inkpads in every colour you can think of!

If you need that final finishing touch of colour, we have it!
