Hanging Valentine Heart

Happy Valentine week!  Ok, ok… I know it’s only one day but seriously I think the crafty mamas feel me on it seeming like a week after all the treat-making and valentine-creating we have to do!

Today I’m sharing this Valentine treat pouch on the Pink Paislee blog.  I talk about how special it is for me to be able to do crafty projects with my kids (although Lily isn’t quite old enough yet) and how hard it is for me to let go of perfection.  My boy was super proud of his confetti work on our valentine for Daddy!

Scrapbook Generations Inaugural Issue!

It’s no secret that the publishing world has been a little harsh on paper craft related mags in the past few years.  Luckily, we have really talented people picking up the reins and creating some truly inspiring online magazines like the NEW Scrapbook Generations CREATE!

The Fancy Pants design team had the pleasure of getting to work with four sketches for this issue, myself included.  You’re going to love these sketches for everything from layouts to tags to cards.

CREATE is a free monthly digital magazine published by Scrapbook Generation, a scrapbook store in Springfield, MO. The first issue, 223 pages, launched this week in conjunction with the opening of Scrapbook Generation's expanded, full-service online store.  While it focuses on sketches, the magazine covers other topics of interest to scrapbookers and cardmakers, like mini-albums, journaling, techniques, and more. There is also a readers gallery and a call for submissions for the March issue.

Welcome 2014!

I am so excited to share that I will be remaining on the Pink Paislee design team for 2014! If that isn’t a great way to ring in the new year I don’t know what is!
