Vintage Baby

Today is a very exciting day! My very first fabric collection is now available for purchase! You can find it at the Fat Quarter Shop right HERE. It’s been a several month process… but the day has finally come. Just about a year ago I signed a fabric contract with Riley Blake Designs. They are a wonderful fabric company and I am so thrilled to be partnered with them for my fabric designs. After joining them, I moved into action designing Vintage Baby. After the artwork was approved, it moved into production. This phase takes quite a long time as it’s produced overseas and the process is quite extensive.

 

This is a little sampling of Vintage Baby. It’s a sweet collection of fabrics that are just perfect for a project for a little girl. I was just told that I can go pick up my samples today and I can’t wait to start playing with it! I’ll take more photos and post them once I have more fabric on hand.

Just a little heads up… I’m working on a pattern to go with this collection that I’ll be releasing shortly. I just need to finish it up and it will soon be available.

I really appreciate everyone’s support. It makes designing so fun to know that my work actually inspires someone and is enjoyable to use. Seriously, you’re the BEST!! Thank you!!

Menu Board

Today we have a Menu Board for you made by Joy.  The “Menu Title” is one of Lori’s cut files found in the shop here.

Joy has detailed instructions at her blog on how she created this dry erase menu board as well as some great tips for using vinyl.  Thanks for sharing Joy, this is beautiful.

New Products and memo holder

Lots of new shapes in the shop today.  Check out all the options for cards with matching envelopes.

Also, I wanted to share this cute project by our design team member Cammie.  I love it.  She made the cutest shopping list.  This would be so cute on the fridge and help it not look like clutter, but instead a decoration in your kitchen.  Great work Cammie.  For more info go to her blog here

happy cutting… Lisa

Project Life Giveaway!!

I hope you all had a great Easter weekend! I have something super fun in store for you today!

Who loves Project Life? For several years I’ve worked with Becky Higgins as her graphic designer behind the scenes making Project Life…. well come to “life.” For those of you who use Project Life, you realize it can really take the pressure off when it comes to scrapbooking. With this “system” you can simply print your 4×6 photos and document a little information on the journaling cards and then slip them into the super handy divided sheet protectors (that I’ve drawn right down the to millimeter just for you).

I have really enjoyed being part of Project Life. At first it seemed like a “photo-a-day” concept. But, it really is an entire system that simplifies how you think about scrapbooking. You can take as many or as few photos as you’d like, the point is… just get them documented regularly. To date there are 5 editions of “Project Life” that have been brought to the market… Original, Turquoise, Amber, Clementine, and Cobalt. Along with these editions there are sheet protectors, montly dividers, and even patterned paper to work with the system.

Today, I’m giving away a Project Life Kit (thanks to Becky).

Here’s what you need to do by Thursday, April 12 at midnight to enter to WIN:

1. Go “LIKE” my facebook page HERE.
2. Sign up for my email updates (in the right hand column)
3. Leave a comment on this post. (Be sure to leave your first & last name along with your city.)

Here’s what the lucky winner will get:
1. Cobalt Binder
2. Cobalt Core Kit
3. Cobalt Cardstock
4. Big Variety Pack of Photo Pocket Pages

I’ll choose a winner and announce it on Facebook/Blog on Friday.  Good Luck!! Oh, and be sure to stop by Becky Higgins’ blog for more giveaways from her Creative Team this week.

Note: this giveaway is only open to U.S. residents, as the kits will be shipping directly from Amazon.com.

To THANK YOU for visiting my blog today I’m giving away a FREE set of 3×4 cards that will work beautifully with Project Life. They are sized perfectly to fit in the PL sheet protectors. Of course these would also be super fun on your traditional scrapbooking layouts as well. I’m including several file types for maximum flexibility. Everyone should be able to use these files. Files included are: SVG, DXF, STUDIO, PDF, PNG, and JPG files for you. This way you can print, digital scrapbook or cut them with your cutting machine. I can’t wait to see what you do with them!
