Just wanted to share the images from my CHA Winter collection.
I've mentioned before, but I'm taking a hiatus from product design so this is going to be my last collection for awhile.
Decided to get wild and crazy and change the cream & black collection I've been doing for the last few years to cream & brown (yes, very wild, I know). It's called Sepia.
And the new colored collection is called Lily Lane.
And did you noticed that I also put a new spin on the old negative strips that I had originally introduced back in 2004? Very excited about those.
And the cardstock frames are all embossed. Very excited about those too.
Getting my scrapbook room set up at the new, old house (it's my biggest priority) so I'm hoping to be scrapbooking (for fun) very soon.
Ohh I love it! BEAUTIFUL!!! Can't wait to get my hands on them! THANK YOU KAREN!

Love the new collection! Will there be new cream and brown easel books?
Posted by: Dina | January 23, 2009 at 09:21 AM
Love the cream and brown! You never cease to amaze!
Posted by: laura j | January 23, 2009 at 09:32 AM
I want them!!! Now!
LOVE the sepia/brown & cream!
Where can I get them and when?!??!!
Posted by: Krys72599 | January 23, 2009 at 09:37 AM
Oops, special request: PLEASE show us some pictures of your scraproom when it's done...
Would LOVE some insight as to how you organize, too...
Thanks (in advance!)!
Posted by: Krys72599 | January 23, 2009 at 09:39 AM
Oh YUMMY...I love your designs. They are always so timeless.
I still buy up the old releases when I can find them. Which is saying something as I've been on a scrappy diet for the last 8 months or so LOL (I talked DH in to letting me continue to buy Narratives and adhesive only under the agreement that if I need card stock I have to prove I can't use another color instead!)
Posted by: Sherri | January 23, 2009 at 09:42 AM
I love the Cream & Brown!
Can't wait to get my hands on it!

Loving it as always. Upset to hear about the break as you come up with some great stuff but wish you all the best. The photography class has been amazing - sad to see it end too. But we all must move on. All my best wishes!!! Might have to hold off my wedding album since chocolate brown was our color.

i love brown.. it's my favorite color in the whole wide world.. and it there was ever any one thing i would have done to change your product, it would have been to add more brown to the collection. LOVE! Good stuff!
Posted by: Tammy Mellish | January 23, 2009 at 10:30 AM
Fun colors, even the brown. ;) Nice to see the negatives coming full circle.
Posted by: sharon | January 23, 2009 at 10:32 AM
Oh My God Karen -- I LOVE THESE!!! In particular, I LOVE those new narratives strips. Well, I better stop saving now. Thanks so much for sharing these and I will be SERIOUSLY missing your work in the near future!

Karen,
I am taking your classes when you come to Florida and I was wondering on the scrapbooking day what class is taught first? (A Year or 10 Reasons) I will be at the classes in Orange Park Florida. I emailed you but I guess I didn't use the correct email. I am SO excited to meet you and excited about learning:)
Posted by: Melanie | January 23, 2009 at 10:43 AM

Posted by: Tami B. | January 23, 2009 at 02:29 PM
You read my mind! I have been looking for brown, with cream and you magically put it together into some fantastic papers, stickers, etc. Love it! And the Lily line is super, I can think of a number of things I want to do with these! How soon will these be "on the shelf'? Can't wait to buy and buy extra to hoard!!! I have two cropper hoppers full of your stuff, for hoarding! (and using, but sometimes I just love to take them and and just handle them!)
Posted by: Terri B in Oregon | January 23, 2009 at 02:44 PM
Loving the new stuff! Waiting for it is the hard part!!!
Posted by: kat-in-texas | January 23, 2009 at 03:05 PM

Posted by: Stayce DeWid | January 23, 2009 at 03:26 PM
These are just amazing collections. I can't wait until they come out. I hope when you get your scrap room done you will post pictures on your blog.
Posted by: Kay Ward | January 23, 2009 at 03:43 PM
You've done it again. Love those ledger papers. Can't wait to get my hands on the Sepia collection!
Posted by: Wendy Goodman | January 23, 2009 at 03:44 PM
Oh WOW! Not bad for a Beaver... heh heh... BeaUtiful collections! Love, love, LOVE the Sepia Line. Oh... and I still have your old filmstrips. Been hoarding them for 5 years now. Guess this means I can finally use them, huh? Enjoy your time off!
Posted by: debi | January 23, 2009 at 04:22 PM
WOW, WOW and WOW- these are wicked awesome Karen!!
Posted by: jamie v | January 23, 2009 at 04:23 PM
Brown seems to be my favorite color lately - so I love the cream and brown. The colors in Lily Lane are just lovely. Beautiful as usual!
Posted by: Cathy K. | January 23, 2009 at 05:02 PM
Very beautiful Karen! Your product will be missed but I'm excited for you to be able to focus more on your photography and scrapping for fun.
Posted by: Ashley S. | January 23, 2009 at 05:37 PM
Hi Karen,
It is all beautiful!!! I too will miss your releases that I look forward to the most out of all the scrapbook companies. Have you heard when they are going to release the transparencies from the last release?
Posted by: Shonia | January 23, 2009 at 05:46 PM
OHHHH! Yep! I'm broke! I will have to have all that cream & brown! It will be perfect for my old,old,old photos. With my own touch of color added, PERFECT! I love the Lilly too! I don't know if I can wait til April for that to get here.
While I'm sad that this is the last from you for awhile, I'm also happy that you'll get back to scrapping your own beautiful family, enjoying your new house, and spending time with that oldest son of yours before he heads off in his own direction. You have the important priorities right. Those of us who love you will be here when you return!

BROWN!!! brown, brown, brown, brown, brown,brow! I am so excited!!! My new neutral.....already plotting in my head....pages are flowing now!
Posted by: Kris Van Allen | January 23, 2009 at 07:46 PM
Beautiful, Karen! I was looking forward to seeing what you were releasing, and I was not disappointed! Can't wait to get my hands on some IRL!
Posted by: Lorraine M. | January 23, 2009 at 10:00 PM
This is absolutely beautiful, as usual. I can't wait to see it IRL.
Posted by: Susan Lilian | January 24, 2009 at 12:12 AM
Oh, Karen - I'll miss your collections during the break because... well - you always make my FAVE stuff. The above shown is no exception. I love it all!!
The Black & Cream has been my fave for a loooong time. It now seems it's getting a competitor that might be hard to beat: Cream & Brown.
LOVE that combination.
*yum*
Can't wait to get my hands on them! :D
Posted by: Zarah | January 24, 2009 at 01:14 AM
LOVE the sepia! It is beautiful!!!! Can't wait to get it into my hands!!!

Posted by: sharron | January 24, 2009 at 06:59 AM
wow! Love the new line!! When will it be available? Are you planning on making any kits/projects with this line??
Posted by: Jeannie | January 24, 2009 at 09:34 AM
Karen - I am so excited to see you will be teaching at Creative Escape '09!!! I have been lucky enough to go the last two years, and now, after seeing the teacher list, I am really hoping my name comes up in the lottery again this year!! Creative Escape is fabulous, and I am sure you will love teaching there. One comment though - you might not get to talk as much as you usually do (which I love) because each class has a definite time limit. Congrats again!! Signing off from the panhandle of Texas!
Posted by: Marilyn | January 24, 2009 at 11:46 AM
Love the new designs! I was wondering if you offered the original negative strip as a digital brush?
Posted by: Michelle | January 24, 2009 at 01:40 PM
OMG this collection is sooo awesome!!!! I need ALL of it right away!!!
Posted by: Account Deleted | January 24, 2009 at 03:24 PM
I would love that brown damask for my wallpaper in the dining room. Would you happen to have enough time to work on that for me? Yeah, right... LOL!
The colors are nice, too- but it seems the crowd loves Sepia! (Myself included!)
Nice work...
Posted by: Jo Baer | January 24, 2009 at 07:22 PM

Very beautiful, just like you and no, I'm not being sarcastic or hitting on you ;o). I think it is pretty and that you are a beautiful woman to share your photos, your art, and your life with us. Thats all. Can't wait to see it in the stores.
