in the shop...

if you jump on over the pink trike shop you can check out these printable invitations & thank you cards {part of the Oh Happy Day collection}.  They each come in a downloadable file that you print on a letter size cardstock, cut & they're ready for your information & sentiments!  How easy is that?  Love 'em!  Oh & if you're interested in me setting up these invites with your custom information for you to download & print.... that will be available soon too!

inspiration: layered flowers

for this Tuesday's inspiration I've found yet another girly item to draw ideas from... how cute are these flip flops from baby Gap?  I was immediately drawn to those layered flowers... which I in turn made my paper version that would be so sweet on a scrapbook page or to decorate for a party!  

here's what I used: crepe paper streamers, glue gun, circle punch, buttons, jewels, a little Jenni Bowlin letter sticker & some papers I printed out from my Oh Happy Day girly line {available for download in the shop}!

to make the flowers you just take whatever length of streamer you like... I used 3 different lengths here. Obviously the longer the length, the poofier the flower.  Just take your streamer & start at one end & gather it, {sort of pleating it in a circular formation}, tacking in the same place every few gathers.  When you're done you can add buttons, punched patterned paper, jewels, circle stickers...!  They're also nice & lightweight, which makes them perfect for a scrapbook page!

it's open!!!

I'm so excited... so nervous... but I really hope you love my new shop with my new digital designs!  It's sorta sparse right now, but believe me I've got so many things coming!!!  

Oh & please, please, if you are so sweet as to order something & you notice any things that should be brought to my attention... I'd love to hear from you!  Enjoy :)

bubbles

It's been a lovely weekend here & we've enjoyed it by grilling, hangin' on the porch, going to the pool & just playing!  One of miss L's fave things is bubble blowing {rather someone else blowing the bubbles while she chases them down to pop them}.  I love that I was able to capture this pic of Collin being such a sweet.... ahem... cool brother by blowing some bubbles for his lil' sis {I think he secretly loves to hear her giggles}.  

The online shop is coming right along & if everything goes right I'll have it OPEN by mid-week!  SO excited :)

wow.

really that is sorta the feeling I have right now.

for those who don't know I'm now self employed, independent contractor, freelance designer... whatever you choose to call it... that's me.  Last Friday was my last official day as a full time employee of Reminisce.  It was a bitter sweet day for me, as I love working for Reminisce & all the wonderful people there... {Matt, Andria, Denise, Brenton, Megan & Ryan}, but I'm so over the top excited about all the things I'm planning on pushing forward with in the very near future.  I'm so happy that I'll still be able to work on projects for them while pursuing some dreams I've had for a very long time...  so here it is, I've given little hints recently, but... pink trike design is my new leap into digital scrapbook design!  Not only digital papers & elements, but printable fun things to coordinate for those of you that may not be comfortable with the full on digi experience! I can't wait to share it all with you!  I'm working hard to get lots & lots of good stuff created so there is plenty of great things to see {& buy} in my online store... & please, if you know anyone that is a fan of digital scrapbooking would you please send them my way?  I'd really appreciate it!

here's a little sneek of what's coming...

...more to come :)
