Get “Vintagey” with Vintage Street Market!
Hi! I’m Michelle Jackson, co-owner of Vintage Street Market. We are so excited this month to have Lisa as the Guest Designer on our site (www.vintagestreetmarket.com), and are just thrilled that Lisa invited us to participate on hers! If you’re familiar with us, one thing that makes Vintage Street Market a little unique, is that we started as an online store, stocked full of authentic vintage materials gathered with the paper crafter/altered artist in mind. Since then, we’ve expanded to...

Good morning! My name is Christine Drumheller and I am the owner of the monthly kit club, Cocoa Daisy. I was thrilled to be invited to post on Lisa’s blog this week. I am normally a very clean, linear kind of scrapbooker but this being Lisa’s blog I thought I would stretch out of my comfort zone and add some extra layers of flowers and ribbon to a layout. I used bits and pieces from our July kit “Urban Loft” and its add-ons to create this layout about my Mom and I on Mother’s Day. Layering with paper...

Hi there this is Caroline Lau — one of the partners at Maya Road. When Lisa asked me to post here on her blog I was first at a loss at what I would post. So I decided that I would talk about how Lisa made it onto the Maya Road team way back in 2006 during our very first (and only so far) Design Team call. I honestly had never heard of Lisa or seen her work before. Lisa was new to the world of scrapbooking back then. The first time I noticed her work was when I saw this project on Two Peas In A Bucket: Lisa had done some...

Hi, my name is Darcy and I am representing Pink Persimmon today. My sister (Judi) and I first got to know Lisa when she used some of our stamps in her first book “Delight in the Details”. We are honored to be included as one of her guest bloggers this week. One of our talented Creative Team members, Andrea Budjack, made these adorable magnetic clothespins and we’d like to share a little how-to here today. Andrea first cut three circles using her Sizzix Circles die, but you can use any circle...

Good Morning Bloggers! My name is Lynn Ghahary and I am representing Pink Paislee today! When Lisa asked us to jump in and participate on her blog this week we were thrilled to say YES! As you know Pink Paislee just released a Vintage Sewing / Textile inspired collection called Vintage Vogue during the Summer CHA Show in Chicago and today we want to show you a fun letter tray project that features this collection. I snapped these photos of my brother and his wife along with my adorable little...

Hi! My name is Julie Fei-Fan Balzer and I’m so delighted to be guest posting here on Lisa’s blog! I have a quick and fun tutorial for you on how to make these cool glittered circle embellishments. I’ve used them here on a layout: And to make this cute and quick card… …I simply punched the butterflies from some completed circles. Lots of different possibilities with this technique! Check out the video to see the how-to! Thanks for letting me share! I’ll be back with another post...

The embellishment on this card can be created and used for so many different themes. I love making them for birthday cards and other special occasions. All you need are two different sized scallop circle punches. I used the Fiskars Extra Large and Large Scallop Circle Punches, patterned paper, the button is optional as you can place a sentiment in the center if you would like, some ribbon, pop dots and Stickles (of course). Punch one scalloped circle using each punch, place the smaller scallop...

Recently, mom and dad bought a new entertainment center for their den and asked if I wanted this vintage display case because they no longer had room for it… well you can certainly imagine yes could not come out of my mouth fast enough. I drove from Beaumont like a little old lady in fear I would break the glass. Well it got here all safe and sound and now is being filled with thrift store finds, items mom and dad have found for me and even a few from my aunt. I like to use these items for photo props and containers in...
read moreHello Card
This card is one I created using the August Main Kit “Siren’s Call” by Cocoa Daisy and the Add On Kits “Calypso” and “Mist and Ink”. The window with the flower box was super fun to make so I thought I would tell you how I did it if you want to give it a try. Using Maya Mist I sprayed the chipboard window. Once dry I removed the four panes and placed a piece of patterned paper on the back to look like curtains. I covered the flower box using patterned paper, sanded the edges and accented the polka dots with...

These five photos bring back way more than five memories that is for sure and are some of my favorites. Downtown Chicago is one of my favorite places to visit. I could walk all over every single square inch of it (that is as long as it isn’t 5,000 degrees outside like it was when I was there a week ago. Ok that might be a bit dramatic but gosh it sure did fee like it) I never get tired of looking at all the buildings and architecture as well as the street entertainment. Cape Neddick Lighthouse also known as...
