The Play Date Cafe Challenge #145~

Hi everyone~this is the new color palette for this weeks challenge at The Play Date Cafe. I love  the orange, golden yellow and greyish blue together. The colors remind me that  Fall is coming, not soon enough, but soon:):) Here is my take on challenge #145~

Wonderful color pallete this week ~ just love it!!!  I got to get in my stash and use some of my oldie but goodie papers.  This is by Pink Paislee/Fetching.  Good stuff!!! We would love to have you play along either with a card or layout, the main thing is to use the color palette for the challenge week. You can post your entry on the PDCC blog.

Can't wait to see what you create!!!!

Mail call! ~ Pink Paislee

Hi everyone~I have been in a panic for three days.  My desk top has been without Internet.  All my programs and files are on it but tonight my sis-in-law came over and what I was to scared to do she did and she got me going again ~ I definitely owe her a lunch!

This is the last of the Pink Paislee/Hometown Summer.  I usually don't scrapbook like this but I enjoyed it very much.

I loved all the borders that came with this set.  I have some junkin' stuff from a few weeks ago I thought I would share also~

This tin was packed full of buttons and stuff~the vendor had $7 and I offered $5:):)he accepted my offer:):)

This is an old brass cattle tag.  I'm going to clean it up and put a shine on it.  Be lookin' for it ~ it will show up some where:):

Pink Paislee ~ yellow and black!

Hi~I have another Pink Paislee/ Hometown Summer layout to share with you. One of my favorite color combinations is black and yellow with a splash of orange.  It is just fabulous every time.

To get lines, for my journaling, I used a stamp by Wendy Vecchi ~ just love it!  It is that stamp that is great to have in your collection, comes in handy so many times.  It even looks great to use, as embellishing the cardstock. Super fun and speaking of fun, hope you come back on Friday I have a fun {awesome} giveaway going on for followers of Crafty Goodies!!! Hope you will check it out!!!

Check out this ~ remember the enamel lid, you can see the project HERE

Melon waters ~Pink Paislee!!!

Hi everyone~here is another Pink Paislee layout!!!  I love the brightness

of the papers and loved the watermelons on this!!

It was perfect for the story of these pictures.

  We carried watermelons from Texas to Indiana for these two kids. They call them "melon waters" and they love them.

The sticker was on the melon so I made an award badge out of it~

***********************************************************

Tomorrow is a travel day for me and yep, I'm one year older today.   Have a great day and I'll see ya soon!!!!

Remember this~View Master reels!

Remember I paid $4 for all of these ~woot!!!!!!!   Well this is how I used two of the reels~

The paper is by Pink Paislee.  I love the different shades of green in this set. They look so pleasing to my eye:):).  Well if you didn't know green is my favorite color:):)  You probably new though~

To make the award badge I stapled all the die cuts together with Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher and then glued the View Master reel on top to give the appearance of an award!!! Love making those~

Helmar 450 quick Dry works great for that!!

***********************************************************************

Thanks for stopping by and I'll see ya soon!!!!

Biker dudes and Pink Paislee~

Hi everyone, hope you had a great weekend.  I got to do some scrapbooking on Saturday (and one junk store) ~ so I got six layouts done!!! So happy about that. I always feel like I'm behind (and I am) ...

I used Pink Paislee/Hometown Summer on these two ~

I love all of the matching embellishments with this set.  The borders are fantastic.  I cut them up all different ways.  You'll see all of my layouts this week:):)

Here is one~loving the black and yellow together. Always a great combination. I used Helmar 450 Quick Dry when gluing down the embellishments.

I was trying talk computer talk:) ~ at you smiling!  and I know you are thinking ~ wow, great lookin' kids, yes they are and all so sweet!!!!

*****************************************************************

Have a great Monday and come back for Try It Tuesday!!! See ya soon~

Using my STASH~again............

I'm at it again ~using my stash that is.  I found Pink Paislee/Spring Fling Collection~gosh this has got to be 3 years old maybe more.  I used my Epiphany Crafts 14 round epoxy buttons as centers to the flowers and glued them on with my Helmar 450 Quick Dry.  I finally have proof the "grands" can pick up at the end of the day~the girls aren't smiling but Ash is !!!

I inked the edges of the embellishments and adhered with Helmar Zapdots!! Love those~

I have had a "little guy" for a couple of days and I'm starting to feel it but we have enjoyed him so much. Thanks for stopping by and see ya soon!!!

Try It Tuesday~digging through my stash!

I have been digging in my stash and finding some really cool papers!!! Papers that I just had to have and never ended up on the cropping table, that is~ until today!!!

This is Fetching by Pink Paislee~remember that one!!  I have two sets and I still love the papers!! I used some Jillibean Soup, Jenni Bowlin, Claudine Hellmuth, American Crafts, Helmar 450 Quick dry,  October Afternoon, buttons and bakers twine with it!!

This one is fascinating by Pink Paislee.  I loved the die cut papers back then, heck I still love die cut papers!!  I still have tons!!!  I used Jenni Bowlin,  American Crafts, Helmar 450 Quick dry, Helmar Zap dots,  October Afternoon, Tim Holtz, original milk caps, buttons and ric rac!!  I really had a fun time with these oldies but goodies~revisit your favorites!! See ya soon!!

Helmar and PSA Essentials~

Hi everyone~glad you are here!!!  This week Helmar is partnering with PSA Essentials.  I had such a good time working with their amazing stamping system.  Such a clever, crafty tool!!! 

This is the layout I did using PSA Essentials and their stamps for my round embellishments.

I used Pink Paislee pattern paper along with American Crafts and Making Memories for the title work. The adorable little yellow heart button is by Epiphany Crafts ~ super cute!!

What a great system this is for invitations and card making, as well as scrapbooking.  

I glued with Helmar's 450 Quick Dry and used Helmar's Zapdots for dimension. I hope you will visit Helmar and PSA Essentials blogs this week.  Tons of inspiration!!! Have a great week and see ya soon!!

some Pink Paislee!!

I love making these little tag cards. What I love the most is I can tie it to the gift and not have to worry about finding an envelope . I love seeing the beautiful papers outside on the gift instead of covered up in an envelope on the inside!!! These were made with Pink Paislee/Bayberry Cottage Collection. The cards are about a 4"x4" and then add a decorative shape for the tab to hang from and tie. That's it.

This is a layout I did with the same paper line-Pink Paislee/Bayberry Cottage Collection. I love the bright greens with black with a hint of blue!! I'm going to my mom's next week to make jelly so I'll have some pictures later on that. Have a good week and be "crafty"!!!

Pink Paislee/cards

I made these simple cards using the Pink Paislee/Captivating and Jenni Bowlin bingo and calendar cards. The cards with the calendar on them would be given to someone that had a birthday in that month and so on. This is a cute way to make a "trendy" birthday card. The bingo card examples could be used as "thinking of you" or "thank you" cards. Hope your inspired!! Today is the first day of the $1 to $5 sale. You can check it out at http://www.acbaileydesigns.net/ See ya there!!

Captivating by Pink Paislee

I love these die cut papers and the plaid!! Just perfect for boy photos.
These pictures were so cute and went great with the "Captivating line".
Stop by AC Bailey between Aug 10-21 for a great bargain. In the "while supply last" section everything will be $1 to $5. I'm telling you some deals to be had. That is Monday - so be sure and stop by and tell them I sent you!!
Thanks for stopping by and have a "crafty" day.
