Pink Paislee | C'est La Vie collection

C'est La Vie might just be my favorite Pink Paislee line ever!  I mean, bright bold patterns mixed with my favorite colors, graphic lettering and some of the hippest coolest embellishments around!

When I first saw this collection online I thought that I had my favorite pieces picked out.  I always do that with new collections.  But then when it arrived in the mail, I seriously oohed and aahed over it for what seemed to be an embarrassing amount of time.  I really couldn't pick a favorite, so I decided to combine top picks all on one page.

I have always been a huge fan of triangles, angles and black and white stripes, so I combined my love for all three to create my layout base.  Next came the layers - photos, cork embellishments, paper clips, ephemera and words.  I started by placing the words in a vertical design and then just built off of it.

I finished my page by adding some mirrored stickers, washi tape and some simple journaling.  I had the best time playing with this collection and I hope that you love it too!

Pink Paislee | Receipt Holder

I recently put together this altered receipt holder using the Pink Paislee Atlas collection and wanted to share it with you!

This was such a fun project to put together!  And such a rare moment, to get great pictures of my son!  He hates to take photos and 90% 0f my projects are usually of my daughter because she is the total opposite of him, she loves to take photos, lol!

I simply printed four small black and white photos of my son Matthew and adhered to them to tags, frames, and bits and pieces from the Atlas collection.  I added some simple machine stitching with white thread, and left the ends long to add a homemade effect.

To complete my project I added some chipboard stickers and extra cardstock pieces, also from the Atlas collection.  

This project is sure to brighten up my office!  Thanks for looking today!

National S'mores Day!! | Pink Paislee

Today, is National S'mores day!!!  To kick off this fun day, I'm sharing some National S'mores day projects using the brand new Pink Paislee Cedar Lane collection that the whole family can join in on!!


To celebrate National S'mores day I created this cute 3d pop up tent filled with treats for the occasion.

I also made this sweet sign to announce the event.

I used bits and pieces from the new Cedar Lane collection to create this sweet banner as well as some found items from around the home and yard

Quick Tip:  You can create these fast and easy banner planters by using recycled tin cans, sticks found around the home and rocks found around the home.  They totally play off the camping theme!

Gather chocolate squares, marshmallows and graham crackers in a tray for easy access to complete the event!!

I hope you like my idea today for celebrating National S'mores Day with your family, visit the Pink Paislee blog this week for more ideas!!

Pink Paislee | I'm So Lucky

Hi friends!  I'm so happy to share my first project on the Pink Paislee blog today, using the new Citrus Bliss collection!  When decorating for Saint Patrick's Day, I like to keep the colors of my decor, soft and muted to match the other pieces around my house.  I chose to create a themed banner, to celebrate this special day.

Using the Citrus Bliss 12x12 paper pad, I began cutting out my title "Lucky" using my Silhouette Cameo.  I added machine stitching to each letter with my sewing machine and intentionally left long loose threads hanging to add to the feel of the project.  I backed each letter with dimensional foam squares, and then adhered them onto pre-cut burlap banner pieces.

I chose pieces from the Citrus Bliss ephemera pack, chipboard stickers, foam shapes, and wood veneer shapes to embellish my banner.  I also added frayed flowers from the Bella Rouge collection to couple of my pieces.

I strung my banner with gold thread and clipped it onto a frame using clothespins.  I cut two four leaf clovers with my Silhouette, embellished with tulle and tucked them in behind my banner to finish off the look.  I hope this has inspired you to create more Saint Patrick's Day decor for you home this season!
