Michaels - Maybe not . . .

Had seen videos on YouTube showing new Halloween paper craft items at Michaels stores. New stickers, ephemera, paper pads, washi tapes, etc.  Have lots of Halloween products in the craft stash but I wanted to see some of these items in person. Went to a local store and they did not have any of the washi tapes but they did have a few paper pads. I picked up a Halloween paper pad but that was all..... came home and looked at Michaels.com online store to look at the washi tapes they carry for Halloween. They were selling these washi sets for $15.50 but they had it on sale for $12.40.  Their description also tells you who this product is shipped from. The washi tapes I looked at are from Planner Envy. Wanting to know if Planner Envy offered any other designs off I went to their website before I ordered from Mikes....

Planner Envy had the same washi tape set as Mikes, and others, and their price was $8.75 for the same set of Halloween washi tape I wanted and I looked at their Fall washi tape sets and those were also $8.75. I picked out a Halloween set and a Fall set and ordered those:

They are packaged in a clear box and lay flat so they ship well. Here is a side view of the patterns:

Happy to have found Planner Envy. They have lots of washi tape sets - 2 pages worth - on their site and they have new Christmas and Winter sets as well as Halloween, Fall, Easter, Valentine's Day, etc.. Good quality product too.... and they are also having a sale at   plannerenvy.com.  Lots of stickers as well if you need those for your planners/junk journals or other projects you are working on. 

Scrapbook.com also featured new products and I picked up a pack of a set of 2 plates for my new Sizzix  machine. These plates are sparkly red and happy to have them:

It was time for new plates in this craft room and happy to find them in red - 

A little jazzing up for my die cutting machine.... Hoping they last as long as my older plates that are years old.....
