Pink Paislee goodness :)

Just stopping by today to share some projects I made using some new Pink Paislee goodies. :) :)

This card set uses the new Old School collection.

I really, really love the colors and vintage-y feel of this collection. I give it an A+!!! ;)

Next is a banner I made using the new Sweetness collection. (I have to apologize for the not-so-great pictures on this banner. I didn't have a lot of time to photograph it before I had to send it off.)

If you love a girly and vintage, this is going to be the collection for you. Love it!!!

Hope you all are having a great week so far. Thanks for stopping by!

Color Combos Galore #148

Hello everyone! Just poppin' in to share my take on this week's color combo over at Color Combos Galore this week.

I had a ball with this week's colors. They were right up my alley. ;)

Hello :)

Long time, no see. We have finally gotten moved into our new house, and I am slowly but surely getting back to my craft room. Yay!!!

I have started designing for Color Combos Galore, so you will start seeing me on a more regular basis again since there are weekly color challenges. This week there is a beautiful color combo with the added challenge of adding stitching to your card/layout.

Challenge #146

Here is my take:

I tried to stay true to the color combo, but added a few different shades of lilac/purple. I love purple, but it is not a color I tend to use on projects. Maybe I should start...

I hope you all get a chance to join in the fun and play along with the challenge this week. Make sure to stop by Color Combos Galore and check out Challenge #146 to see the inspiring projects from the rest of the team.

Have a great weekend. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy belated Valentine's Day!

Sorry I didn't get by before today, but we went out of town for the weekend. We went to Mobile for Mardi Gras. Fun, fun, fun! I think we caught our weight in beads, moon pies, and lots of other fun stuff. (Well, not really but almost. ;) )

So since I missed posting these before Valentine's Day, I hope you don't mind me posting them now. These are a couple of pocket cards I made using the Sweet Shoppe collection from Collage Press. I used the patterned paper, die-cuts, and letter stickers. This line was just perfect to use for Valentine's Day, and I thought the pocket cards would be appropriate for all of the candy that the kids and I like to give for the holiday.



These cards could be easily changed to fit a number of different occasions though. Very quick and easy to do. For these particular cards, I used my Cricut and Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge to cut out the pockets. I did make a slight adjustment and cut (by hand) the front of the pocket a little shorter, so you could see the candy a little better.

Since I haven't really been posting on this sad little blog all that much lately, I have lots to share. I will plan on being back lots this week to put a little life back into it. See you again soon, and thanks so much for stopping by!
