Around The House

I have a cute home decor idea for this month’s “Around the House” blog segment at 
PINK PAISLEE


 For my off the page challenge this month I was lucky enough to find a very inexpensive
 wooden house-shaped frame at Michaels and I knew I wanted to pair it up with some goodies
from the Hey Kid Collection. 
To begin, I painted all of the edges of the frame with an acrylic paint from Plaid called Sublime Lime.
 Next, I created a template for the inset part of the roof by using a heavyweight sheet of tissue paper.
 After cutting out the template, I carefully traced the design onto the blue dot paper from the
 Hey Kid 12×12 Paper Pad.


From the same blue dot paper and using the Pink Paislee Cutting File: Sunny Days ,
I cut two of the cloud motifs and sanded around the edges before adding them with foam adhesive.
 Two simple pink stars from the Hey Kid ephemera adds a nice contrast and make the clouds
 POP even more! For the eaves of the roof-line, I used the scalloped Vellum Borders
 and scored each section approximately 1/8″ from the straight edge and then attached
 with a strong adhesive tape. 


I cut matching strips from the black/cream dot paper (found in the Hey Kid 12X12 Paper Pad) 
and covered all of the raised areas of the ‘house’ with it. My vision was to have a Spring-like
 garden of flowers at the base of the house, so I left the bottom portion uncovered with 
the green paint showing through. I used several paper punches to create the various layered flowers. 
Add your favorite buttons for extra charm :)


For the rooms of the house, I lined each section with pink star paper (Hey Kid 12X12 Paper Pad)
 and to the inner room, I added one of the sweet Subway Flags. As a finishing touch
 (and to hide any gaps), I edged each section and the inset of the roof with baker’s twine. 


The colors (with the addition of the lime green) match my daughter’s room perfectly, so I made 
this with her in mind :) I glued on medium-sized clothespins above the ‘rooms’ so 
that she can clip on different photos as she wishes. A pretty ribbon bow adds a little
 softness to the top and completes this whimsical collaged house! 

I love 'off-the-page' projects...don't you?!? :)

Going Glam With Pink Pailsee

So, I've had my personal cutting machine for a couple of  years now.
It terrified and frustrated me in the beginning.
But after seeing all of cute creations and cutting files, 
I just had to give it a go again...I'm very glad that I did!

For my Go Glam project today at 
PINK PAISLEE
I've used a couple of their cutting files, along with the Hey Kid Collection.
In 'going glam', I found an easy way to add glitter to the die-cuts:


Come on over to the Pink Paislee Blog and see how I put them together :)

And don't forget to check out yesterday's post below if you're interested

**Good Luck**

CHA Summer: Pink Paislee

Today I'm sharing some photos from the 
PINK PAISLEE 
booth at the CHA Summer show in Las Vegas this past week.
I had the opportunity to work the booth, help customers with orders
and meet a lot of great people!  It was an honor to represent such 
fabulous companies as Pink Paislee and Heidi Swapp.

 I missed getting a picture of Santa, but he sat on the bench and took pictures
with the fans of Pink Paislee!  The photos were then used in a cute make-and-take.

 Before the show opened we were given an overview of all of the wonderful new product!

 On the opposite side is where all of the new Heidi Swapp products were displayed.
And there is Heidi working diligently in preparation for her product demo!

 I love Snow Village!...above are two of my cards (to the left), as well as the 
lovely advent frame by Betsy Veldman and mini album by Leslie Ashe

 Pretty cone trees and more sweet cards by Betsy Veldman and Danielle Flanders

 Color Wash and Hey Kid were so popular at the show!  Here are a few cards
by myself, Diana Fisher and Leslie Ashe

And the cutest Hey Kid scalloped mini album by Jess Mutty!

I had one card picked up for publication, but I'm happy to share all of the other
cards that I created especially for the show.  
These two are from the Color Wash Collection


From the Hey Kid Collection

The last two are from the Snow Village Collection


All of the newest Pink Paislee Collections were revealed on the Pink blog week
before last just in cased you missed seeing everything in detail.
Product will begin shipping to your local stores and online retailers in mid-September.

 Have a fantastic week!
