We thought it would only be fitting to say Thank YOU to all of the scrapbookers, cardmakers, and crafters out there that make weekends like this possible. You guys ROCK!

So here is a little something from Design Team Member Kim Jeffress using some  gorgeous Pink Paislee Core Impressions and NEW some Spotted 6×6 cardstock for this gorgeous gift bag. I bet you wish you were on the receiving end of this!  And don’t forget to come back tomorrow to see what we have planned!!!!!!!!!!!

Gorgeous sanding…….

Need a Baby Gift?

Not sure about you but I always feel as if I need a baby gift these days!

And what better way to whip one up than with a brown bag and some Pink Paislee Core Impressions?  Design Team Member Char Dobson created this super cute bag with some Pink Paislee Nantucket papers and Core Impressions and her Cricut. If you don’t have the Wrap  it Up cartridge, no worries! You can use any die cutting machine or even hand cut these details with a pattern.

Don’t forget about our Hard Core Crafter program!

Monday…Monday…

Just a reminder …Don’t forget about our Core Colour Challenge!

Only nine days left to get those entries in and a Core pack of cardstock is up for grabs!!! More details here.

Today we have some fun layouts from Design Team Member Melissa Oliveira.

Melissa works the 8.5×11″! check out the tone on tone embossed hears!!!! LOVE!!!

Here is a little bit about this layout from Melissa, “the embossed hearts were cut from the left over strip from trimming the background to a 8 1/2 x 11 size. I just embossed, sanded, and popped them up with foam tape for a little added dimension. I sanded then inked the Jenni Bowlin butterfly Core Impressions that is behind the title work. I really like the way the sanded areas take to the ranger distress inks.”

And speaking of love…..

How sweet is this?  That chevron Pink Paislee Core Impressions is too perfect! SO many great details, don’t you think? Melissa used her BasicGrey embossing folders for the hearts.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Fairy Tale Friday

Nothing is more dreamy and feels like a Fairy Tale than some Graphic 45!

Today we have a beautiful altered box from Design Team Member Leica Forrest. The great thing about this project is that Lecia used the Graphic45 Signature Series cardstock (the dark green) because it is designed to match Graphic45 papers perfectly. AND she mixed in some Pink Paislee Core Impressions. Don’t be afraid to mix it up a bit!

And a close up detail…

First up we have Design Team Member Lydia Jackson with some Jillian AND Tillie cardstock on one layout and she used some patterned paper from our friends over at Jilliebean Soup.

And this is what we are talking about when we say this cardstock is versatile.

Check out this layout from Design Team Member Kim Jeffress…different color palette yet SAME GREAT cardstock and gorgeous,gorgeous layout.

And anyone have any guesses as to what patterned paper Kim used on that layout?

Yep, you guessed it. PINK PAISLEE. Why am I asking?
