AC Moore Haul: Amazing paper sale

ACMooreApril2014aHello! I must first give you the background so that you will find me innocent in ‘the case of a craft shopaholic’!  Yesterday, I took the boys to lunch and to the movies.  I recently signed up for an online watercolor for cardmakers.  It sounded like something that can help expand my product offerings on Etsy. So I parked my car near AC Moore with the intention of buying one of the water color sets recommended on the syllabus.  However, on my way to the arts section, I saw this…A Managers’ Special. Those yellow labels popped and I looked and then I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to buy 12×12 pads of paper for $6.88.  That would simply be insane.  So I loaded one into my cart.  Then I turned and saw 6×6 pads being sold for $2.99.  I could not resist. They are what I use for my cards. So I loaded up the cart. Mind you, I have yet to reach the art section to pick up my watercolor set. After stuffing many pads in my cart, I managed to find the art section and locate the water color set.

I have yet to get my video process ready so I thought I would share pictures of the pads of paper I selected and show you two of my favorite papers in each:

This pad has been around for a bit but for $2.99, I thought the time was right to add it to my collection. My two favorite papers in it are:

I can see me wanting to ‘hoard’ this colored wood grain paper. The last 6×6 next paper pad is from Dear Lizzy’s Polka Dot Party.

ACMooreApril2014pI own some Dear Lizzy paper and this one will be a nice addition. My favorite papers in this pad (I bet you can guess one of them!):

ACMooreApril2014q ACMooreApril2014rYup..the butterflies paper and this one is so cute that can be used on Valentine’s or just a regular love themed card.

The 12 x 12 paper pad I selected at this amazing price was Dear Lizzy’s Day Dreamer.

I have something for the colored dots. They are so vibrant and who could resist the bicycles?

Ok… so what do you think? Crazy Shopaholic or Savvy Crafty Shopper? (And if my husband is reading, he should refrain from weigh in on the matter!)

Have a blessed day friends!
