My Boys Have Swagger

Have you guys checked out Paper Crafter’s Library yet?  I was new to this fantastic site until I was asked to create something for them with Fancy Pants Designs’ Swagger line. 

I whipped up this cool shadow box of my two best guys… are they cute or what!?

Hopefully you’ve been stalking the Pink Paislee blog this month to read all about the creative team members and see some self-chosen projects that represent our individual styles.  There is a massive (and I mean MASSIVE) giveaway at the end of the month, too, for entering the contest to use this color scheme:

As for me… well, you can read all about me, what Pink Paislee thinks of my work, and how I was a total stalker fangirl for years before joining the Pink Paislee team.  And check out the details of this butterfly gazebo I created for the event:

I used a whole ton of different things on this… Hope Chest, Cottage Farms, Artisan Elements, Luxe, and even a hoarded Nantucket tassel.  It’s sitting up on my spring mantel right now makin’ me happy. 

I'm linking this up to the Paper Issues Pink Paislee/Mother's Day issue... link up or come take a look for more inspiration!

Um, WOW!

Have you guys heard of UmWowStudio??  Lemme tell you, they have some amazing new chipboard on the market.  It’s thick and has perfect char marks and some of it’s layered, you guys.  Layered!

         

And that’s just a little peek!  Go see the rest!!

Wellll… naturally I jumped at the chance to get to use this stuff when I was asked to design for UmWowStudio.  I mean, really.  LOOK at the fun I am having:

Cheerful-Card

I used layered butterflies and layered banners on this card set with paper from the Stella & Rose collection from My Mind’s Eye. 

Stay tuned for lots more chippie posts from me soon!
