Lovin' Vintage images to accent my layout pages

Today at Scrapbook Stamp Society. I am sharing a special digital image

 that made me think about my grandmother.

She lived with us for a short time with I was small and I remember her.

Her amazing clothes from way back then and the elegant lady in the image were perfect for each other... what a great accent on my page.

Be sure to rethink some of you digital images that were once only put on cards.. they can 

be a fabulous addition to any layout .. so have fun and create more using them.

Thanks for stopping by.. come back to see what I have to share next.

Paper House 2015 Design Team

Happy New Years.. and what a great way to start the new year with the announcement

of the Paper House and the new Design Team 

which I am excited to share that I am back with for another year.

Not only is it a fabulous place to design for... the product, the people and the team was fabulous.

AND......................... below is samples of the newest lines that I can't wait to create with.

It's full of colour, design. texture with the greatest accents too.

In looking to break out of the themed direction of our usual collections, we wanted to created something more universal, usable, and stunning. Inspired by the way we sort our own paper stashes, by color, and by some gorgeous, color-themed Pinterest boards we've been collecting - Colorways is an interesting and unique take on modern paper-crafting. We've combined gorgeous, saturated photography with trendy patterns to make these papers a "got-to-have" addition to any crafters' stash.

These paper boast vibrant photography and really usable patterns. The borders papers and trim cards make great embellishments, too! And all of these open stock designs are being offered in a convenient paper kit, too!

There are 2 Rub-Ons packed full of phrases and sentiments that make it easy to use on any layout, pocket scrapbook page, or card! We even love these rub-ons for framed, home decór pieces - they look great on glass! And the Puffy Sticker adds a subtle dimension and lots of detail! 

Be sure to follow along in the new year as we get started.

You won't want to miss out on a thing this year.
