Social Media Butterflies Blog Hop: May 2013 with Paislee Press

This month the Social [Media] Butterflies are featuring the ever amazing Paislee Press! If you aren't familiar with Liz Tamanaha and her brand Paisless Press, you are in for an awesome treat. Liz is the designer of the Midnight Edition Project Life Core Kit and makes minimalist memory keeping ultra trendy. She's one of my absolute favorite designers right now and I am thrilled beyond belief to work with her awesome digital projects.

Please make sure to check her amazing stuff out here at her blog: PaisleePress.com. Make sure to hop all the way through, leaving comments on the blogs to be entered to win a $25 Gift Certificate to the Paislee Press digital shop! Even if you aren't a digital scrapbooker; Liz makes the best Project Life journaling cards that you can download and print at home (or send to Persnickety Prints like I did). Thanks so much for playing along with us this week!

This month I'm sharing a Project Life spread using several sets of Paislee Press journaling cards, and some Midnight Core Kit Edition mixed in (they go SO well together)! I 'embraced my inner minimalist' this week and stuck with a very basic spread.

What Happened This Week? There weren't too many exciting stories from this week, so I decided to focus on a couple of pictures from early in the week and then an impromptu photo shoot that Jeffrey and I took on Thursday afternoon.

Favorite Parts of This Week's Spread: I'm loving the minimalist look. I think I've been veering this way for a while; and its starting to feel right for me. A couple little embellishments here and there (like the polka dot chipboard star, or the Studio Calico polaroid die cut on the woodgrain card) really help to bring everything together. 

Supplies Used: Paislee Press On My Desk journaling cards, Day Planner journaling cards, The Weekender journaling cards, Midnight Project Life Core Kit, Studio Calico die cut frames, Studio Calico Neverland Project Life kit

Social Media Butterflies Blog Hop: March

This month the Social [Media] Butterflies are featuring Glitz Design, and are so excited and happy to be included in the Uncharted Waters inspiration week. If you haven't checked out their blog, make sure you check it out now: http://glitzitnow.com/blog/

Here is the layout I created for this month's hop:

A couple of notes about the layout: 

• The photo is from outside the window of our airplane when we were coming home from Los Angeles. 
• The background is an Allison Kreft/Webster's Pages white chevron overlay on white cardstock
• The title was stamped (very carefully) with staze-on and then filled in a bit with a Sakura Microperm pen
• The wood veneers were painted with a the same Sakura Microperm pen
