WANTED

seen this guy around? he's wanted by my daughter. LOL. i guess it's nobody's fault but ours because we started this craze for her. she's got a ton of stuff with him on it. can't take a nap without her elmo stuffie. she loves to make us drawn him. usually it's on paper but tonight it's on my bamboo tablet while i'm trying to get some work done. oh boy. it didn't end well. she cried and cried when her baba came to take her for her bath. that was my saturday night :P

new items are now in shop

hi everyone :). have been working hard and will be for the next while. just want to let you know that shop's been update but i won't be shipping items until starting Tuesday. i'm using the next few days to catch up some more on finishing items up so that this place is a little less messy for me when i start pulling out the shipping supplies. thanks for your understanding.

have a great weekend everyone!

guess what?

i've listed the majority of items for the shop update (for viewing only) - it's only missing the christmas stuff (this christmas collection, the art journal, the embellies kit) and a new Evalicious faves kit.

i couldn't help adding some non-scrapbooking items also:

photograpHER magnets for those who love the photography junkie badge button set

photograpHER keychains - i'm so super excited about these. they're super cute!!

 this christmas magnets - the badge button version is included in this year's art journal kit and embellies kit.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and here's some sample pages i just made using the new goods - enjoy!

a journal entry in my remember art journal using a new badge button & page tab (life/this is so daily) from the new "SO DAILY" collection - to be in shop tomorrow. the kraft page background is upcycled Prima packaging material that i sewed a small glassine envelope onto (included in the book). it makes working in these journals super easy and fast.

not sure if i shared this page before but here it is again if i have. i added a new badge button on it (also from the SO DAILY collection; this one is part of V2). page tab can be found here.

can't wait until tomorrow - hope to see you!

around here

 cutting away - pages for the christmas art journals, packaging material, images for badge buttons, etc.

the computer desk is a mess. with sample buttons galore!

munchkin constantly climbing onto the swivel chair whether i'm on it or not and repeatedly saying, "i wanna help mama." help me alright - help me make a mess! LOL.

a little sneak at some badge button sets (on left is V1 of 3 badge button sets that's part of the fall PL collection, beside it is a "love my cat" badges - yes, i made a dog one too!, beside that is the school's cool badge button set). On the far right is the school's in page tab set.

some stamped tags to be sewn onto a page of the christmas art journal.

what's going on around your place?

just love this time of year. there's just something about the cool breezy air and the change in nature's colours that makes me feel all warm and cozy. BIG LOVE. i love thinking of things to make as gifts with the upcoming holidays (halloween, thanksgiving, CHRISTMAS). while new ideas are still being dreamt up - here's an old one:

i was going through my shop listings and thinking to myself that i need to clean it up a little and retire more items. ran into the Evalicious Gift Ideas tutorial [thank you so much for those who supported by purchasing this file]. it's had its moment and will be retiring and living happily in my harddrive. but for a limited time, you can download it here for free [only catch? be a follower of this blog if you aren't already & leave me a comment on what you love about this time of year]. a big thank you to you for following this blog.

- plus a few more items that's not shown in photos

Cost $38 ($42+ value)

why invest in this journal?
- great value for those wanting to document their december but don't want to spend a fortune on a kit
- no need to hunt around for all the perfect embellishments/papers to make your own
- it's perfect for those who don't have much time but still want something handmade
- you're family will love you for recording down the details of this month when they have something to look back on in the future
- you're gonna have so much fun looking back at the details of this december this time NEXT YEAR

AND...when you place an order for this journal or spend $35 in shop on the next shop update, you'll get one of these cute lil keychains as a thank you gift (while supplies last).

PS there's a lot more stuff in store than just the Christmas items - i'm so stinkin' excited cutting/adhering/packaging/playing with everything!

next shop update: Sept 29

Join me on Sept 29 for my next shop update which includes 3 new collections and lots of other items. I'm still humming/haaing over putting together a new mini Christmas journal this year. If you look forward to a new Evalicious Christmas journal every year and would like one this year too, can you email me or leave me a comment so I know approximately how many to make this year? I went overboard last year and still have a few left of the old ones (can be found here for great price - limited number left).

I've also been thinking about putting together a design team so that we can get a little more inspiration around here. It's been consistently busy in the studio and I haven't had much time to work on the details. So that'll be on my to-do list this weekend. Please stay tuned for the announcement :). [EDITED: this will most likely happen after this busy holiday season.] Here's a peek at some badge button sets available on Sept 29.
