10. Pop Art- Many of the papers coming out this season have simple geometric designs that are making us think of Lichtenstein and Miro. Minimalists will want to check out Basic Grey’s Porcelain line and Pink Paislee’s “Fascinating- Eye Popping”.

9. French Lace- Oo la la! Parisian prints and lacy doilies add an old world elegance to your layouts. GCD’s line Paris Nights is gorgeous and Papeterie’s Margaret stamp set has doilies, keys, clocks and other vintage images.

1. Scrapbooking for a cause- Yesterday Portrait Bug participated in the Grace 2009 Crop for Autism out in Staten Island. We are so glad we got to be a part of it and look forward to doing more benefits. Next up is a crop to raise funds for a non-profit theater on April 18th here in the store!
Kim, Peter and Shannon,
Great to see you yesterday. Had a wonderful time shopping at your booth and making my spiral book. Can’t wait to stop by the store.
