Puttin' on the Glitz - Sneak Peek #3

There are so many great companies out there for all our scrappy needs and desires! One of the companies that I have gotten to know and love in the last year is Glitz Designs!

Check out these three beautiful new lines - just in time for CHA Summer 2011!

First we have Dance in Sunshine:

And Beautiful Dreamer:

And finally, my personal favourite, Vintage Blue:

I love the combo of yellow and blue - fabulously French Provincial!  And that toile paper is to die for!  I am hoping my LSS Scrapbook Parade will carry this something from Glitz ( guess which one I am rooting for!!)  Are you listening Carol??? :)

Happy Day everyone!

Sneak Peek #2 - Pink Paislee Mistables

Oh I am in love. . . .   Pink Paislee has become out with out with some amazing new products for use with all the cool mists and sprays now available!  As someone with a somewhat embarrassing number of mists that I don't use nearly enough - these products are heaven !  Take a peek:

These are just so delicious - I can't wait to see what else Pink Paislee has in store!!!  Stay tuned for more from all your faves!!!  And be sure to leave a comment on what you are waiting to see and from which company!!!

Happy day everyone!

It's CHA Sneak Peek Time Again!!

It is my favourite time of year ( well, after Christmas and Halloween!!) - CHA Summer Sneaks are back!

I have been a bad blogger lately, so this is just the motivation I need to keep my on the blogging straight and narrow!!

I want to start with at peek at the latest from Echo Park - this one is called Victoria Garden - and since I live in Victoria, BC - I had to start with this!  It is lovely blend of vintage colours and images reminiscent of Victorian gardens - how perfect!

The next line from Echo Park celebrates one of my favourite seasons (hint: - see above!):

Remember to keep checking back for more great sneaks from all your favourite manufacturers and some new ones, too!!

Happy Day, everyone!!

"Ad"ded Inspiration!

Have you ever used an advertisement as a jumping off point for a page?  I actually do not typically do this, so it was a great challenge for the Upsy Daisy Design team to use the ad below as the inspiration for our monthy design team submissions!

Here is the original ad:

And here is my layout - all about my first art journaling page!

It was great fun ( and a challenge) to use the advertisement and then come up with a layout!  I hope you will give this challenge a try the next time you find your mojo a little on the SLOW JO!!

Happy Day everyone!

OMG - A Post!

Hey Strangers!

I know, I know, it has been forever, but I wanted let you know I was still around, although our house STILL isn't done and very little scrappy anything is getting done due to the chaos!  But I did get a chance to complete a couple of projects for one of my very favourite companies - Upsy Daisy Designs!

Here is a peek at one of them:

Inspired by the Nickleback song - it is all about the kids' love for Rockband! (OK, I love it, too!) It uses the lovely "See You Later Alligator" line - which is completely adorable and fun!!!

For another quick and easy project that is a great thank you gift, check out my post on The Daisy Diaries blog today!

Happy Scrapping everyone!!

Jacquelin

It's almost complete. . . .

After over 3 months, our main floor is finally getting back to some semblance of order!  We now have flooring, hopefully will soon have a bathroom again, and my scraproom is beginning to be unpacked! YIPPEE!  As soon as it is done I will post some pics of the new improved look!  I am really happy with how bright and clean it looks - but we will see how long that lasts!

In the meantime, I managed to get a few cards done for the Upsy Daisy Design Team - the first is a little vintage fun!  I used a photo from an old issue of Good Housekeeping magazine ( from the 50's), along with the fabulous VOGUE line - which I love!

The front:

 And the inside:

 

Hopefully by tomorrow I will have a layout or two, and maybe a sneak peek of my scraproom in progress!

Happy Day everyone!

Bread and Roses. And Chocolate.

Today is the day to celebrate all women - and ponder how to truly create equality! I will be celebrating with chocolate and the church ladies! Take a look at this video - it is great food for thought - and it has Daniel Craig in it - 'nuff said.

WeScrap Kits

The amazing women of WeScrap now have a blog for their amazing kits!!!  Check out what they have to offer by clicking HERE!  I just adore how they put such great kits together at an amazing price!

Happy Day everyone!!!

Check out the Daisy Diaries!

Today is my day to post over on the Daisy Diaries - The designer blog for Upsy Daisy Designs.

Happy Day everyone!!!

Top of the Bad Blogger List!!!

I cannot believe a month has gone by since I last posted!  YIKES!  February has proved to be crazy busy, and amid the ongoing renovation saga ( which has turned into a gigantic project!), I have gone back to school to become a Childbirth Educator!  Not to mention all the usual chaos of our busy household!

While sorting through my unfinished projects - I found these using the wonderful products from my friends at Upsy Daisy:

(Products are from the Man About Town II line)

 (From the Avalanche line)

(From the Unwritten line)

Check out the links for even more inspiration from the talented Upsy Daisy Design Team members!

And speaking of Upsy Daisy - congrats to Nicole Nyvall (co owner of Upsy Daisy Designs) on the birth of baby #4 on January 29th - welcome to the world Carter! 

Now that I am back to blogging - look for more designs from Upsy Daisy and updates on the great renovation - which has grown from replacing our main floor flooring and bathroom to flooring upstairs, a huge kitchen/family room reno and updates to the other bathrooms and laundry room!  We must be crazy!!
