I have been at it again. I have been out “scouting” for kit club galleries and I found a few more to share with our blog readers this evening. (Remember….if you are the owner of a kit club, online store, or retail store and you have an online gallery dedicated to Pink Paislee projects…send me a link. When we have open blog days I will do my best to share them with our blog readers) 
First….I got an email from one of the designers from My Creative Scrapbook and her projects were so gorgeous that I decided I needed to go over there and check out the rest of the gallery. They have 2 kits that feature Pink Paislee this month. The main kit has Vintage Moon and their is an album kit using a Maya Road album that includes the Pop Fashion papers. Of course there are other goodies in there too! Be sure to check out the extensive gallery HERE. I included some teasers below!
Next up…..there is a gorgeous kit over at the Scrapbook Circle and the owner emailed me last week letting me know Pink Paislee was featured in their main kit for September! It looks like the kit is sold out…but you can still head over there for lots of inspiration! I love these papers mixed with bright bold patterns! Very fun! Check out the gallery HERE - Here are some teasers!
And finally….the girls over at Create My Keepsake have been having lots of fun with Pink Paislee! Their main kit features Vintage Moon papers and lots of black accents. I think there is also a Pop Fashion card kit available. The gallery is starting to fill up over there too! Click here to see the yumminess!
Here is a peek of a fun project I spotted over there!
Whew..that is a ton of inspiration! Now I want to go scrap something… ENJOY THE SHOW!

I am not much of a card maker, well for that matter, I am not much of a card sender either. My mom can attest to that fact since her birthday came and went this week without a card from me!! (Sorry mom!) Compared to the amazing cards you are used to seeing here, I am kind of embarrassed to even share this one! I will though because I want to sing the praises of Pink Paislee’s fabulous 8×8 paper pads.
On the rare occasion that I do make a card, I really love using pattern paper pads like Pink Paislee’s 8×8 paper pads. What I love most about them is that the papers are all scaled down versions of the originals. The smaller scale means I can get more of the paper’s original pattern on a small project like a card. In this example, had I used the full size versions of the black or blue papers, which both have very detailed but large designs, you would lose so much of the pattern when cutting it down to fit your card. In the smaller versions, I am able to use pieces that are small and still get the ornate detail of the brocade patterns on both.
Of course great uses for 8×8 paper pads don’t stop at just cards! They are great for a wide variety of other projects like tags, mini books, decor items like frames, and full size scrap pages.

This Monday’s post is dedicated to my niece. Today is her 2ND birthday and she was inspiration for my blog post this month. So… Happy 2nd Birthday Sweet Baby Natalie.
Here is my project. A party Hat which she’ll wear today for her birthday party. I just love birthdays and everyone should be able to have a party hat like this on their big day so that the whole world knows it’s their special day! So if you know someone who is having a birthday soon make sure you try your hand at one of these. They are super simple and SO much fun to make. I plan on making a ton! HaHa I love the way it turned out.
I used papers from Pink Paislee’s Pop Fashion Line to create the hat. Then I covered a chipboard “N” in white glitter and added it to a Pop Fashion Topsider shapes chipboard piece for the center of my party hat. To create accents I used a Pink Paislee Mini Stamp then added a pearl to the centers. For my finishing touch I used some pipecleaners I had stashed away in a drawer forever. Finished it off with a little bow and ta-da! Now she’ll be ready to party and all the while feel like the little princess that she is.
P.S. Happy September 1st!!!

Every now and then I actually take some time out of my hectic day to check out online galleries of kit clubs or online stores featuring Pink Paislee! (By the way….if you have a kit club or online gallery that is full of Pink Paislee be sure to link us up so we can share it with our blog readers.) 
Today I happened to stumble across the August gallery at Label Tulip and I was amazed at the creations they are showcasing from their creative team! WOW Seriously!
If you look closely you will find our Fashion script stickers in blue, our Vintage Moon TopSiders, our Vintage Moon Accents press ons, our alphabet press ons, and I think even our Pop Fashion icon press ons. And……of course some of our yummy Vintage Moon Papers. They are so carefully mixed with other products that I had fun looking for them. It was a lot like Where’s Waldo!
So….Go over there by clicking here NOW and check it out! Below is just a teaser…..

Recently, we had a good discussion at one of my favorite scrapbook sites and it centered around Pink Paislee’s {Vintage Moon} ‘Moon Glade’ paper. We all unanimously agreed that the striking teal, paired with the metallicy silvers, made our heart skip a beat!
As I thumbed through all my Pink Paislee supplies it struck me just how much I loved the metallics in the papers, press-ons, transparencies….so I thought I would share with a layout I did featuring some of these brilliant products.
With Halloween just around the corner, I thought it would be perfect to showcase all the shimmer and platinum by creating a Halloween themed layout.
On this layout I used the paper ‘Moon Glade’ {Vintage Moon}, and the {press-ons} Vintage Moon Accents, Vintage Moon Icons, and the Alphabets all fittingly in Metallic Silver. I also complimented the metallics by mounting my pictures onto ‘Platinum-Metallic’ cardstock by Bazzill. Does it get any better than this??! I finished the layout off by adding some irresistible black and orange jewels.
Here are the metallic products I used in all their glory:
Of course it is not required to do a Halloween page with all this metallic goodness….just have fun with it.
Thank YOU for allowing me to share my creations with you this week!

Good Morning! If you know my work, then you know that I love to create home decor items! But here is the thing….I have champagne taste but I’m on a beer budget! So I am always on the hunt for bargains that I can turn into something fabulous!
I had 2 good strokes of luck this week!! First of all I went to the Goodwill and found this big bunch of beauty…for only 90 cents a bundle (love that military discount!). Ignore the little bubble blower in the background…she’s always looking for a free photo shoot!
Well then I walked into my local craft store (starts with an M…hmmm..) and found all these summer floral vase/planters for 90% off. So this little beauty was ummmmm……79 cents….yep…..so I of course bought them all (these are the only times that I am glad my hubby is out to sea!)…
Came home and promptly got to work! I used the beautiful silver and pink damask looking paper from the Pop Fashion line called Hip Huggers. I cut off the pretty scroll part to save for a future project.
OK, so here is where the “tip” part of Tuesday comes in. When I am covering something I normally just trace the pattern…but that isn’t always the easiest way and sometimes is just not possible, as in this case. So…I use a very simple way of making my pattern. I self emboss my paper. I take my paper and put it on the surface I want to cover. Then using my fingers I rub the edges (be sure to hold firmly in place, you don’t want slippage with this technique) until I have a groove to follow when I cut.
Hopefully you can see the grooves, my camera had a hard time picking them up.
I use a fabric glue for all my altered projects and mini albums. It dries fast, is SO strong, acid free and lasts forever. It is made for fabric so it doesn’t soak through your papers, ribbons etc…nor does it wrinkle or stain at all. It’s my favorite.
Rather then removing the paper on the vase (messy and waste of time) I just inked the edges black so that if they show through on my corner seams…no big deal.
OK, next I painted and glittered the topsider chipboard piece. I left it bare and plan to use the cardstock sticker on another project.
Then I glued the papers down…..then the topsider piece, then the trims…and I used a border from the Vintage Moon pressons around the bottom of the vase. It’s best to cut your presson into a piece that is the width of the vase vs. trying to wrap it around the vase and rub.
Then I used a sheer and backed it with the pink polkadot Lunch Hour paper from the Office Lingo line. I used some pink bling and then a butterfly presson from Pop Fashion Icons in the center.
After getting the vase all taken care of…it was time to fancy up the flowers a bit!! So I used the butterfly stamp from the Pop Fashion Clear Stamps. I stamped a bunch of butterflies onto the silver Hip Huggers paper. Cut them out…and glued them back to back on black wire. I essentially made flower picks with them.
Then comes the fun part…arranging the roses, butterfly picks and some white berry sprigs. Very pretty and a pretty easy project and the best part is…..it’s CHEAP but looks like a million bucks!!
Hope you all have a wonderful day of bargain hunting and creating something lovely!!

Just a quick photo to share with you today…..I got all 15 of the glitter colors in this week for final inspection before production and I am just a little bit giddy! These glitter tubes are so ME! And of course they can be so YOU!
These fun glitter tubes ship to stores in October and we are now taking pre-orders from our retailers on the display program. Each tube holds 10 grams of glitter and the MSRP is only $1.99! The tubes are constructed out of a lightweight plastic material so they truly are glitter filled straws….however don’t let that deter you. The opening is large enough for any funnel or tray so you will be able to dump the unused glitter back into the straw if you don’t need it all.
I just love these little tubes of sparkle!
…….if you would like to try them out just leave a comment here on our blog and we will choose 1 lucky winner to receive all 15 colors for FREE! Just a fun little blog giveaway for our loyal visitors! I will choose a winner by Monday the 25th.

I am so glad that my assignment for this week was a sketch. I have had a really busy summer, so a sketch was the perfect way to settle back into a creative routine and get organized.
After searching around to various sketch sites, I decided to use a July sketch from Pagemaps.
When I saw this sketch I knew I wanted to use just one photo that had a lot of white space at the top. I chose a photo that I took of Morgan a few weeks ago at one of our beach trips. Morgan is not a fan of having her photo taken, so when she plopped down a bit away from me and started digging in the sand, I took the opportunity to get a picture of her with the beach and the beautiful sky behind her. I printed the photo 4×7 with this layout in mind, and because I liked the look of all that beach with my girl.
I thought the Vintage Moon Collection was a perfect choice for this beach themed layout. And because I scrap both 12×12 and 8 1/2 x 11, I loved the idea of using three sides to the decorative edged Moonrakers paper, which is a little less than 12×12. I always trim my 12×12 page protectors to fit my oversized 8 1/2 x 11 layouts which allows for a lot of creative options.
As you know, I love to stitch on everything, so I had a little fun with this one. I also added some fun KI buttons and some Kaiser gems to finish it off.
Lastly, at the time of this layout I didn’t have any of the new Jenni Bowlin crepe paper ribbon that I have been lusting after. Instead, I used leftover streamers from my daughter’s birthday party, rouched it, and layered a piece of paper over the top. I just love the decorative look.
I challenge you to try this or another sketch this summer. It will help stretch your creative brain, especially if you are out and about like I am and still want to cut up paper in between trips.

Today was a crazy day. First day of 3rd grade started here for my little guy. I can’t believe how fast summer went by. I have had one busy Summer, had a baby, Timmy turned 8, moved cities, did crunch time layouts for CHA, and who knows what else. LOL I’ve enjoyed it all though. Probably one of my best Summers to remember. I hope everyone else has had a wonderful Summer as well. I’m ready to get back into a routine though.
Now for our Wednesday Words…
I’m not always good with titles. Infact I always have such a hard time journaling and coming up with titles. So today a little help with words. On this page I got stuck trying to come up with a title, then it came to me… Open up your ITunes and read through all of my song titles, there’s gotta be something there. Low and behold, thee very first song was my perfect title. I will definitely be doing this the next time I get stuck. Hmmm or maybe just the next time I scrap it worked out so well. Ha.
Anywho this picture is a bit blurry, but it’s one of the only photos I have of my new baby, Ayden and I. When I took this picture I couldn’t get it right so I just gave up. A week later I downloaded it to my computer and when it came up on my screen I fell in love with it. It’s not perfect. Its blurry. Our faces are cut off. But scrapbooking is no longer about scrapping thee perfect photos. Its about memories. Its about everyday life. Its about love. Its about togetherness. Its about whatever your heart says it is. And today this picture was it for me. And so, here I am sharing it with you.
I hope you enjoy it. And maybe the next time you can’t come up with a title you’ll open up ITunes.
Thanks for stopping by.
We hope you’ll be back soon.

Well actually it is several dollars. We’ve been having computer problems and it seemed to be continually getting worse for the past couple of weeks. It would take almost 5 minutes just to open my email program and getting on the internet was even worse. It seemed to be a random thing, (usually it happened to my husband) but then it happened to me. And just when I had something to post here on the Pink Paislee Blog for Monday. It’s better now, but something still seems off so I’ll cross my fingers that this post goes through.
I made a layout using lots of the new Pop Fashion — papers, rub ons,Top Siders, and the letter stickers. But just to show how great the lines can mix and match, I used the Office Lingo Diecut paper for the background. I’m so in love with this layout of my sweet little girl when she was 2. I love how the colors are refreshing and crisp.
Just a few tips for adding some fun and unique style to your pages:
1. Try using things that aren’t scrapping products like I did with the green leafy vine – and it went perfectly with the theme of my layout and with the Pink Paislee colors.
2. Use the Top Siders at different angles. Typically you would expect the green dotted Top Sider to be placed on the page as a square, but I placed it so that it resembles more of a diamond shape. The placement seemed to break up and offset all of the vertical and horizontal lines that I formed with the papers.
3. Don’t forget that you can cut up those rub ons! It looks like the Pop Fashion Metallic Silver rub on runs behind the layers of patterned papers, but waste not want not, right? … so I cut it into smaller pieces so that I can use the rest of the border on another project.
Have a great week!
