Pink Paislee in stock

MemoryWorks has their Pink Paislee items in stock. This is one of my favorite (if not my FAVORITE) scrapbooking brand. I love their designs, colors, papers, embellishments, stamps - okay all of it!! Well it is now IN STOCK!!!

Here are a few of my favorites:
Hocus Pocus

Look at these adorable rubons!! LOVE

Oh and the flip notes are a "HAVE TO HAVE!"

Parisian Anthology
This was one of my FAVORITE releases of the summer. Pink Paislee paired up with House of 3 to create this amazing line. Yes, it looks white and blank...but that is the thing - it's a BLANK canvas!! The paper has embossed images. Add Distress Ink, Ranger Mists (or other mists), water color paint, you name it!! Make it match any project!

These stamps are so freaking adorable and the price point is AWESOME!! $7.00 - you can't beat that!

Finally, this roll of tickets. There are 100 tickets! How cool is that?

These are just a FEW of the fantastic products MemoryWorks carries and that we carry in Pink Paislee. Check out my shopping area to view all the products. If you are interested in ordering, contact me or purchase directly from my site!

What is your favorite new line??

Mooo Stickers

I am very close to running out of business cards for LaceyBug Creations and so a reorder was needed. I did a slight redesign to the cards and ordered my regular sized ones through Next Day Flyers. I'm really excited about the design and having actual business sized cards!

I also needed to order my mini biz cards through Moo.com. There is so fun business items on their site. The mini cards are great and you could actually created a different design for EACH card! I attempted to do that and it was just a lot of work, so I redesigned my first Moo cards, which now match my regular sized business card.

ANWAY! The exciting NEW thing through Moo.com is they have stickers!! Each pack comes with 90 stickers. You could have 90 different designs. I have 10 and will be using them to package my items. For $9.99 I thought this was GREAT! Here are my sticker designs (uploading them to photobucket skewed the colors actually used...but you'll get the idea).

Honestly the colors are not so BRIGHT in the actual stickers created. I'm so excited to see these in person! I'll share them with you when they arrive!

bad blogger

Life has been... busy. But isn't it always. I haven't really had a chance to create too much lately. I did make a whole bunch of coffee cozy bases (which flowers will be added to shortly). I have probably 15 made in a rainbow of colors.

Here is my most recent batch of cozies... I think all of them are sold except one or 2. Remember though if you love one I can always make it again :)

I made these monkey's (special order) for my boss.

Video - Distress Ink

I know, I know. There are MANY videos out there on Ranger Distress ink. But I thought I'd share with my e-newsletter readers and friends a QUICK tutorial on how to use these wonderful inks in a water color technique.

My friend Sandy is a mom of 4 (almost 5) and has little to no time to sit down and watch tutorial videos that are longer then 5 minutes long! Well after she said that and much thinking, I decided - I'm going to make videos of simple tutorials of products and page elements (embellishments) and show viewers in under 5 minutes!

Now, this is the FIRST video I have ever made and have ever edited. I know there are some spelling errors and some things I will want to change for next time, but I'm proud with how it turned out for my FIRST time. So be nice on me ;)


Alright there you have it! My first ever video.

Project Supplies
Ranger: Distress Ink
Ranger: Ink Blending Tool
Ranger: Non-stick Craft Mat (I think ANY crafter needs one)
Ranger: Mini Misters or Water bottle

Cardstock, tag or any other element you want to try the technique on

Knitting frenzy

There is something about fall and winter that makes me want to knit knit knit! I am constantly working on something and actually pick it up and want to finish it. Verses the summer where I start something and it gets finished in the fall.

This past weekend I knitted a set of Halloween wash clothes! They are super cute. I gave them to my boss because I know she would totally appreciate and love them.

Fabric Flower

It's been a busy crafting weekend! I've been working on knitting some Halloween wash clothes (1 to go), scrapbooking projects for MemoryWorks Website Inspiration (October) and finishing up newsletter projects. Not to mention my friend asking to help him with a flyer for fund-raising for his business.

Here is a flower I made for my September e-newsletter (finally sent today). If you are interested in the project or my newsletter, please sign up (right hand side of my blog).

MemoryWorks BLOG HOP

WELCOME to the MemoryWorks Blog hop.
The TeamWorks Team and MemoryWorks Home Office is highlighting the NEW Simple Stories Ele.ment.ary Kit! I have had the privilege to play with this kit for over a month now and simple adore it! The papers and extra elements are awesome and work with all school ages as well as non-school related layouts and projects.

Simple Stories is an easy to use, stress-free system that gets you scrapbooking guilt free and quickly. I completed the album in less then 5 hours (working on it off & on). That is Kindergarten through High School Graduation DONE!
