Pink Paislee

Walking through the doors of the Summer Craft and Hobby Association Show, our staff could feel the buzz of excitement.  Color, texture, pattern, inspiration, and fun fill every corner of the Rosemont Horizon Convention Center.  Wander with us as we stop at a few of our favorite booths.

We turned right and stopped to stare at the Pink Paislee booth. The centerpiece of the booth was a Parisian themed party showcasing the fabulous creative mix between Pink Paislee and House of Three.  At first glance the collection was a stunning mix of subtle white and gray papers with blue and bling accents.  When examined closely, the raised resist pattern on the papers became evident.  They are made for creativity!

As we walked around the booth, we loved the other three new lines from Pink Paislee:  Old School, Sweetness, and Hocus Pocus.  Each line offers gorgeous papers, rub ons, badges, borders, alphabets, tinsel ribbon, and more!  We could not wait to get our hands on just a few of these items and our counting the days until the entire lines are available.

Design Notes: This gorgeous resist paper from Pink Paislee is made to play with!  I used Copics to gently color the edges to bring out the raised design.  Next, I traced the design with glue and sprinkled glitter to enhance it.

Design Notes: Born to two "blind" parents, we figured that you would eventually need to wear glasses, but we were not prepared for you to need them so early. You were diagnosed with a stigmatism in both eyes and that glasses were needed as soon as possible. At age 4, you walked in, glanced around, and casually walked up to "your" section to pick out your very first pair of frames. I made a comment about how I thought the black pair looked like the ones that Clark Kent wore and you were sold! You will always be my little hero in your "Super Specs"!

Journaling: I placed the glasses so that they were "peeking" out from behind the photo, making it appear as if he was hiding his true identity as a super hero would.
