Hey Kid!

Pink Paislee is rolling out some fabulous new collections for the summer CHA show and first up today is Hey Kid, a line for kids that is super fun without being “cutesy” (finally!)

Even better, the line manages to combine goodies for both boys and girls and they easily mix for those of us with kids of both genders!  Check out what I created with this line for the show:

     

And a fun mini album too:

All that glitters is gold

I’ve been impatiently waiting to share this one with you guys for months now.  I think it is one of my favorite cards I’ve ever made and it’s packed with gilded goodness.  You can see this in the Summer 2013 issue of PaperHaus magazine.

I used Pink Paislee’s Hope Chest and a whole ton o’ gold Luxe on here.  Those awesome chipboard hexagons you see? THOSE are the layered chip bits from UmWowStudio and you clearly need some.  I covered them is Heidi Swapp’s Gold Lame Color Shine and now they positively SPEAK to me… mmmm hmmm!

The coiled flower, canvas, and charm are from Prima, the muslin flower is Heidi Swapp, the pins are Maya Road, and the wood butterflies are the Recollections brand at Michael’s.

I never knew I could love metallics like this!

Let them eat cake

The industry CHA summer trade show is almost upon us and I have been busier than a one armed paper hanger (what IS that, anyway, Mom??) but I’m pausing in the madness to remind you to link up to the latest Paper Issues theme: Hey Good Lookin’, What’s Cookin’?

In case you missed it on the Pink Paislee blog last week here’s my Sweet Tooth layout… a boy after his mother’s cupcake loving heart.

You can read all about my tricks for cutting non-Silhouette files without the Designer Edition software and about how I filled in alllllll those circles on the Pink Paislee blog. 

And after you do that head on over to Paper Issues and link up your projects with cooking, recipes, food, or anything from this theme’s sponsor, Ruby Rock-it!  While your there don’t forget to enter to win a kickin’ Ruby Rock-it prize pack, too!  But hurry because you only have two more days!

Ohhhh…. and let’s not forget the brand spankin’ new and shiny Paper Issues store that just got rolled out.  Cassie’s packed it with even more of the best scrappy supplies you didn’t know you needed and you can get them all for 20% off… score!
