How Sweet It Still Is….

February 11, 2012 By Rebecca Cross 15 Comments

This past week our Sweetness Collection was featured on HSN and after seeing what our new team members did with these products I fell in love with this collection all over again!  This product line was originally released in November 2010 and I think it is one of those timeless paper collections that will never go out of style. Unfortunately we are completely sold out of these products…so unless you can find it locally I am guessing the HSN KITS will be the only way to find these products today. Anyway….if you want one…grab it here; all of the projects featured in this blog post were created with the exact HSN kit you can purchase online.  It is jam packed with goodies let me tell you.

Let’s take a look at these fabulous projects that will get you in the mood for “LOVE WEEK” next week!

CHA Winter 2012 Recap

February 5, 2012 By Rebecca Cross 13 Comments

We have to give a huge shout out to our Creative Team Member Melissa Stinson for taking these amazing photos of our booth at the show.  I didn’t even take my camera to the show because I knew she was coming and I knew she would stand in for us as our photographer…love her!  If you want to see even more photos click HERE to visit her blog and see all of her amazing shots.

So we had this gazebo brought in and we had major plans to go crazy with decorating the top and sides with tulle, paper flowers, tissue balls, garland etc. and in the end we ran out of time. It looks pretty good the way it is but it was supposed to be SO MUCH MORE than it actually was. Isn’t it funny how that works out?

The theme was yellow, gold, pink and green and we focused on papers from the Spring Jubilee collection to make butterflies, birds, flowers and inspirational flags that were on all the branches.

Tamara Tripodi made these amazing napkin rings out of paper, mistables ribbon and chipboard.  So fun.

Those hot pink candle sticks came from Hobby Lobby.  Everyone thought I spray painted them but I didn’t.  They are just that cool right out of the store!  Of course we used them to hold our vintage flower frogs and some of Danielle’s cards.  Don’t forget to spot the paper flowers in the vase behind the cards. Those are SO CUTE TOO!

Speaking of Spring Jubilee here is our product collection on display.  We actually changed our display cases for this show to hold pegboard instead of shelving so we could show off the products a little easier.  I love how it turned out.

There is no denying it!  London Market was a huge hit at the show.  Everyone and I do mean everyone….loved it so let’s take a look at some close ups:

Book papers and spool buttons.  Totally amazing designs.

We try to show some of the Ephemera pieces out of the polybag but it is impossible to show all 68 pieces.  Trust me..you will want to get them!  And the chipboard buttons are treated with resist so you can ink them up too!

Indigo Bleu is next up and boy oh boy did we get this one right!  Denim and chambray color palettes are making a comeback and we saw several denim inspired papers on the show floor.  Paired with the cream and punch of yellow you can’t go wrong!  Those shipping tags and chat clouds were a favorite.

What can I say.  I LOVE this collection.  The papers, the chipboard kites, the prize ribbon stickers…it is all too much to take.  So many people loved our “quilt like” patterns in this range.

We can’t even begin to forget about the SHE ART collection from Christy Tomlinson. BOLD.  SASSY.  The papers are amazing in person and that vintage doily mask is probably going to sell out FAST based on the orders we brought home!

We also brought back our wood shop alphabets for this show since they are a staple MUST HAVE item!

More amazing samples scattered around the booth.

Lots of gorgeous layouts on our new gallery wall!  A huge shout out to our friends at PRIMA for making these amazing 12 x 12 scrapbook frames.  They worked perfectly for us and our booth.

We didn’t get photos of our make n take counter or the demo counter from day 1, 2, and 3 but it was a super busy and happening place to be!  Thanks to Trisha for designing and teaching our make n takes for 3 straight days and a Thanks to Christy for taking 2 hours each day to demo her SHE ART techniques in our booth.  Everyone really enjoyed the hands on craft counter in our booth and it is always fun to walk away with a little something from the show!

Get To Know Guest Artist Amy Parker

January 22, 2012 By Rebecca Cross 12 Comments

Hi Everyone! My name is Amy Parker and I am so honored to be here guest designing for Pink Paislee! I am a stay-at-home-mom to our 2 little girlies, Creedence, who is 4, and Aurelia, who is almost 1. I started scrapbooking a little bit after my eldest was born, and my love for this hobby just took flight! My style of scrapbooking changes often, but a few things are consistent: I LOVE layers, muted colors, cluster embellishing, and using my sewing machine!

 

amy’s designs featuring products from pink paislee:

BE GRATEFUL

My first project is an 8.5×11 landscape layout, which is a size I have only worked in once before, but I really love how it turned out. I decided to actually print my photo right onto the patterned paper (Nantucket-Jumbo Shrimp to be exact), and you can just barely see the pattern come through in some spots, but I think it was a fun technique that I will be doing again in the future! I have lived next to the ocean for almost 12 years and this is the first time I have written down my sentiments about how much it means to me. The Nantucket Collection turned out to be a perfect fit for this layout.

AURELIA

My next project is little Aurelia’s 10 month layout. I knew I wanted to get a little bit techniquey on this layout, and definitely wanted to make use of the mask I got in my box! I am not normally a technique scrapper, but I do love to work with paint. I actually started my layout with a fairly large portion of the paper covered in paint that I had gone over the mask with, but unfortunately in the process of making my layout, the amount you see is not nearly as much as what is really there under all those layers! Laugh! So, instead, the paint plays a supporting role in this layout. This layout features many different collections, including the background paper, which was my first piece of Pink Paislee ever from the original Office Lingo collection!

HAVE HEART WILL EXPLORE

Ever since I saw the map paper from Daily Junque, I knew I wanted to use it for something special, but I finally took the plunge and decided to use it! The design is pretty simple, but it took lots of time to get it there. It is about all the different places I would love to visit around the world. It is a non-photo layout, which is only like the second or third I have ever done, but I am really pleased with how it turned out!

 

WITH ALL MY HEART

The last layout I made is about my eldest daughter, Creedence. The style of this layout is different than the others, but it can sometimes be fun to do something outside of your comfort zone. It came together fairly quickly, as I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to do ahead of time and also it is a generally simple design. But there is something to be said about simplicity. I am really quite happy with it.

A huge thanks to Amy for showing off all of these amazing projects. Your daughters will be proud of your creations when they grow older.  It is obvious how much love went into each of these projects and that warm’s our hearts.
