It’s Michelle here with a little “Vintage Moon” love….(Isn’t this collection just to die for?? I can’t stop using it!!). I have a page to share today of my sister and I when we were little; I made it using the Vintage Moon Rub-ons, Topsiders, Fashion Script Alphabet, Patterned Paper, and I based it all on a Clear Scraps 12 x 12 acrylic page. I layered a few topsiders and some patterned paper pieces underneath the clear page, and then added rub-ons and layers of goodies on the top, too - I love the depth it created!
The Topsiders were longer than the fancy-edged acrylic base, so I adhered them where I could in the center underneath, flipped the project over, and used a craft knife to cut off any access chipboard - it worked like a charm! I painted the edges with black acrylic paint and a flat paintbrush, and added some splatters and some vintage goodies for the finishing touch! I just love how well the fab color combo of the collection looks with warm colored photos and vintage bits! Here it is:
Thanks for peeking, today! I hope you’re all excited to get some lovely Vintage Moon goodies in your hot little hands soon and scrap away with em! =) They are sooo fun! Happy day!
Having gotten home only 48 hours ago from CHA, I am still trying to catch up on lost sleep, but wanted to post a few images of a mini I did for the booth using the Pop Fashion line. (I apologize for the quality of the images, but I only had a short time to snap a few quick images before shipping it out to Rebecca…I think you can get the idea though, lol)
I used an 8×8 tabbed acrylic album from Clear Snaps and the Pop Fashion line to document a few subtle ways that remind me my daughter isn’t quite so ‘little’ anymore…at 9, she’s a far cry from being a baby!!
I made my own page ‘reinforcements’ with 2 small circle punches…I had made a couple of ‘pages’ to insert into the album that were made of cardstock, and didn’t want them to tear at the holes after all of the handling at CHA. I actually do this with my albums at home as well sometimes…it adds a bit of fun and again, reinforces those edges.
On each tab i used the new rub-on alphabets…LOVE the mixed font and different sizes that all come on one sheet!!
How gorgeous is that butterfly stamp in the center of the photos?? Just added a bit of glitter and a pop dot to make it stand out a bit. And I think one my favorite new stamps is the row of numbers 1-9 that are along the edge of the journaling box…I kind of have a ‘thing’ for numbers, lol…
I used the ‘Cubicle’ paper from Office Lingo for all of my journaling spots…so many elements of these lines work well together, that it’s easy to reach into your stash and have fun!
Used the die-cut ‘Hip Hugger paper to make this page…I LOVE the damask and the bit of sheen it has to it. i just lined the ‘tip’ of the die-cut up at the 4 inch mark on my trimmer and cut it from 12×12 down to 8×8 to fit inside the book. (and I have long confessed my affection for that vintage pointing finger stamp!)
The last page…with a favorite shot of my sweet girl.
I had fun with this album…look at all of the fun Pop Fashion goodies to play with!! And that new aphabet sticker font??
To die for.
(and to say that the Pink Paislee booth was ‘busy’ at CHA is an understatement…I think I might use the term ‘HOPPING’!!)
Our day is ending here at CHA - Summer and it’s been fun getting to see everyone and making new friends - as well as new customers! I have a slew of photos, but we ended up sitting in our room last night brainstorming new ideas (the creative juices just flow when I’m here I tell ya!). My poor mamma was so tired! LOL But so cute! Anna, Tammy’s daughter, has been a rockstar seller too! So, here are a couple quick ones that I downloaded last night from my camera. We’re going into the city today - here’s hoping we’ll stay dry!
Hey all! It’s Holly here…and I’m at CHA Summer in muggy Rosemont! LOL Yes, a little rainy and humid, but thank goodness for the skybridges from our hotel over to the convention center.
Our first day was busy, fun, and exciting! Lots of amazing response again (which eases the nerves slightly) and seeing so many of our amazing friends again this how. Just warms our hearts!
Anyhoo - Barry handed the camera off to me, and here I am putting together our little video from day 1. Hope you enjoy it.
Technically we will be 30 minutes from downtown Chicago in Rosemont, IL but it just sounds like a vacation if I say Chicago
The truck is loaded and we are bound for Illinois later this evening. If you are attending the CHA Show then make sure you come by to say hello to us. The Pink Paislee team will be in BOOTH 4125 in Hall F. Our trade show neighbors are Clear Scraps, Magic Mesh, Jenni Bowlin, Piggy Tails, Maya Road and of course many more fabulous manufacturers.
We can’t wait to see you there! If you can’t make it…don’t worry……Pink Paislee is always throwing a blog party during CHA so check in for videos and photos from the booth! You CAN be a part of the action.
This really is a sneak peek of a sneak peek. We are currently putting the finishing touches on a special Mid-October release and we wanted to give all of our blog readers a quick peek! Unfortunately we won’t be displaying these collections at the CHA Show next week, but they will be available for ordering in September once we finalize one last itsy bitsy detail!
These are adorable little “mini collections” with a few new items thrown in to the mix. And….we have added color to these rub-on sets! So fun.
If you are a retailer just remember…Pink Paislee has your holidays all wrapped up! Tinsel Town and Sweet Cakes will be available to order in September and will ship in October! Just perfect timing for your holiday creations

We’d like to take a moment to recognize Pink Paislee owner, Rebecca Cross…it’s her birthday!!!! Please share your love here with us and wish her a special day of pampering and joy!
During the last show we had some fabulous make and takes designed by Jill Baldwin. In fact, we know they were a huge hit because those store owners were running to our booth to make sure they got one!
So……we asked Jill to work her magic again and of course she did not disappoint! If you are attending the CHA Show be sure to visit our booth to make one of these darling projects. We will be in booth 4125 in Hall F.
Honestly, these are more than make and takes; they are like mini classes where the instruction and the product are yours for the taking! We have a limited amount of each make and take and each day the festivities start at 9:30 a.m. and go until 4:30 or so.
