What's a girl to do on a rainy day but go internet window shopping!?!  Here are some things that caught my eye…

41lovaUM2+L._SS400_
PoGo instant printer.  It's $49.99 and the prints are 2×3.  One of my favorite sizes to scrap with!  It can print wirelessly from any bluetooth camera phone.  Or you can hook up your camera!  Now, the quality of the prints isn't top notch or anything, but they have adhesive on the back (how great for scrapping and art journaling on the go!) but sadly the printer does not work with the iphone.  Sigh. 

NYC-night-blue
For $60, you can buy a print of this hand cut map of New York City.  So darn cool!

TheSketchbookProject
This is one of those things that I wonder about.  For $18 you can participate in The Sketchbook Project.  Basically, they send you a moleskine and a theme and you send the book back filled with your art.  Is it a cool art project that disperses the cost among the participants or is it a scam to get $18 from you?  I guess that's the suspicious New Yorker in me, you know?  I mean, why can't you just send in your own moleskine?  And yet, it does sound like a cool project!

Core
I am definitely excited about this one.  I just about hugged my computer screen this morning when I read that, "Jenni [Bowlin] has teamed up with Core'dinations Cardstock to bring you
embossed, distressable cardstock in four of her signature patterns and
her signature colors of red, black, and cream!"  I love Jenni's designs.  And I've been wanting to experiment with Core'dinations (colored core) cardstock.  Definitely going onto my wish list!

Swoon.  These earrings are so über fabulous!  I'm in love!  And they're only $32 from SteamMachine's etsy shop.  She has another shop called "The Museum of Sleep" and it is filled with gorgeous found object jewelry. I really think she's super talented.  I've been thinking about putting the earrings in my cart all day long.

Lace01
Lace tape in either black or white is only $10 for 50 yards!  I'm tempted to make all of my packages this pretty!

Moopie
Susan Shie is one of my all time favorite quilters.  I would love to own a piece of hers someday.  This one is for sale, but it's way out of my price range.  I hope someday to take a class with her.  I think she's amazing!  She has a beautiful piece in the Museum of Art and Design here in NYC and I sometimes just stare at it for hours.

Technique-Tuesday-Today-You-Clear-Stamps-Medium
I love this stamp set from Technique Tuesday, designed by Ali Edwards.  It's $16.99.  I'm staring at it and I'm thinking about it.

Hope you're keeping dry wherever you may be!  Thanks for stopping by!

  • I have the pogo.I love it. LOVE it. The only thing that bums me out is I can’t alter the pictures on my camera before printing them on it. I wish it would print from your computer. That would be cooler. But heck its cheap. The sticky backs are good too. They really stick.

  • Some wonderful stuff! I have the Ali stamp set … I love it (except it is a pain to use the borders … would be so nice if you could build the journaling block on your stamp block and then stamp it rather than do one piece at a time….)
    I like the concept of the POGO … but I am glad you mention the picture quality isn’t great. That is a drawback for me.

  • So many lovely things to drool over. I do have the black packing tape…and while many a package has been made prettier — I end up putting it on my pages as a finishing touch…imagine a painted background with a bit of black lace floating on top….Just sayin…it could be a multi-tasker for you! *smile*
