Just Arrived - Authentique!

One of our store's favourite ladies - Margie Romnie-Aslett (click here for her blog) - has started a new venture which we are very excited about! We were so very lucky to have Margie come teach classes earlier this year and we learned that not only is she a fabulously fun lady but she is extremely talented and an asset to the scrapbooking industry. Margie has teamed up with 4 others to start a new paper line called Authentique and they have just released 3 new collections... AND TODAY THEY ARE IN OUR STORE! The images below are courtesy of Margie's blog and are an excellent display of the 3 different collections!
