Fridays Fan Favorites

Today I’m sharing some work that comes straight from our member gallery over at Live Pink.

Here is an adorable Trinket Container that was created by Live Pink member Karen Maldonado.

Isn’t this stunning??  She used the Queen Bee line and the flowers are handmade.  The flowers have to be my favorite. Seriously gorgeous!!!   You can see more of Karen’s work here.  You can also find a link to her blog!

This layout was designed by Brook Stewart.

She used the Starlight collection which I totally love!  It just goes to show that a themed line doesn’t have to be used as a ‘theme’ afterall.  The clean lines and simple design are totally appealing!

Check out Brook’s page here.

Keep uploading your projects to the member gallery…we can never have too much good inspiration!

Fridays Fan Favorites {from our live pink member gallery}

Thank goodness it’s Friday!  It’s been busy at our house since the kids have been home from school.  It’s hard to believe that it is already July.

Once again it’s the first Friday of the month and time to share some Live Pink member gallery inspiration.

The first layout I found is designed by Live Pink member Joli Pichot.  She actually followed a sketch by Pink Paislee design team member Jana Eubank.  I found it very fitting with Independence Day being this weekend.

Seriously, does this photo not make you happy?  I love it.  My next favorite part is Joli’s title work.  The way she colored the Artisan letters red and blue make this layout even more patriotic.  I also really like all the stars on the red and blue papers against the white notebook paper.  It really makes everything pop.

If you would like to visit Joli’s page over at Live Pink, just click here!

This next layout is from Live Pink member Tanya.

The layering alone on this layout leaves me in awe.  LOVE love it!  My favorite part is probably the pleated ribbon worked along the top of the title.  Too cool.  I love to use the cork buttons wherever I can on a layout.  In her design, they pop up everywhere!

If you would like to visit Tanya, click here.

This last design comes from Live Pink member TanishaRenee.

Her design is split 3/4 of the way in.  I love how this looks!  Tanisha also placed a little star on every letter of her title.  This little attention to detail always makes me happy!  And how cute is this little man holding up his trophy???  Adorable!

As always, I hope you have a wonderful weekend…and happy creating!!

Thursday Trend ~ Shadow Box

June 10, 2010 By Tina 3 Comments
Shadow box is something which has always been one of my favorite display items in my home. I recently got a shadow box from Ikea (the truth is, I bought a few! lol) and decided to put up my god daughter’s picture on it which I photographed recently.
Shadow is an evergreen product in every home and what better way to put it up using Pink Paislee’s products! :)
Here’s what I created using mixed products from Queen Bee, 365 Degrees and the Artisan collections all into one project.
To make the shadow box stands out, I used Daydream paper as the background, cut a small square in the middle and adhered the Worker Bee polka dots paper behind the Daydream paper. This actually created a contrast between the orange and dark colored papers.
Next, I inserted the background papers onto the shadow box, secured it properly and started working with the rest of the embellishments and papers.
I then trimmed off the edges of the Bee Hive die cut paper and created a patterned border over the squared small window (around the polka dots paper). Thereafter, I mat the black & white picture of Shayne (my god daughter) with Daydream paper and adhered it in the centre of the shadow box. I cut out a few of flower patterns from the Honey Bee paper and inserted them just beneath the picture. I added 365 Degrees red Bella Brad and stamped Queen Bee crown on the right side of the box.
On the left side of the box, I inserted more flower cutout from Honey Bee paper under the picture, layered some squares and scalloped circle Cork Buttons, more Bella Brads from Queen Bee, a letter ‘S’ (the initial of Shayne) from Expressions Weathered Wood Alpha (Scarlet) and some stamped bees.
I finished off embellishing the shadow box by adding 2 pieces of the swirls from Artisan Elements, each at the top and bottom of the picture. I also inserted half a piece of Queen Bee die cut tag, inserted beneath the swirl Artisan below the picture and added letter stickers on the tag.
And here’s a close up of the finished shadow box, with all the wonderful colors from the Queen Bee and 365 Degrees products encircling the picture.
I hope you like this shadow box and you can start making one for yourself and have them displayed in your home. It’s a great way to remind you of the little things in your life you love and appreciate most.
Hugs,
Leena

It’s a good Friday…

Beautiful weather, it’s almost the end of school, and I’m writing this while watching Glee.  Yep, it’s a great Friday!

And I found more treasures in the gallery this month.

The first featured layout is from Audrey Yeager.

“Happiness Is.” this layout!  There is so much texture going on here…and lots of fun layers.  I adore the flowers that line the bottom of the photos.  Just gorgeous.  I have been playing with mists a lot lately so I really appreciate seeing some inking on this page.  Another favorite of mine here is the distressing and sewing around the edge of the layout.  Perfect!!

If you’d like to be inspired more by Andrea, feel free to visit her page here at Live Pink.

Our next design was uploaded by Rachel.  She is also our ‘Pretty In Pink’ spotlight member!  Congratulations to her!!!


My favorite part about Rachel’s layout?  Banners are a hot trend right now.  Rachel started her banner title in the upper right hand corner, then lets it trail along the bottom of her layout.  Genius!  Did you see she also slipped some ‘Queen Bee’ into this layout that uses mainly ’365 Degrees?’  The green scalloped paper is from this line.  The tape, pleated ribbons, and cork accents complete this sweet layout!

Please visit Rachel here over at the Live Pink site!

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend…I’m feeling a bit nostalgic after watching the Glee episode dedicated to music icon Madonna.  I feel an 80′s inspired layout on the horizon!!!

Happy Mother’s Day to everyone!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend with your loved ones.

The gallery at Live Pink has been AMAZING these past couple of weeks.  Not that it isn’t usually amazing…  I just love to see how different people use the same products or lines.  I am continually inspired :)

The first project I want to share with you on this Friday is from Dana Tatar.  There are so many aspects I love about her layout.  The way she used the Queen Bee line is breathtaking.  From the hand cut elements, to the cork and ribbon flower, the tag sticking out from behind the pictures, and the cute title…I just can’t pin point one favorite on this layout.  It is just perfect!

I also found this lovely card from Eva in the gallery this week.  I’m not sure how she made the flower.  I would love for her to share!  After checking out her gallery, I can see just how good she is at crafting.  I always seem challenged when it comes to cards so I always enjoy seeing these in the gallery.

The last layout I want to share with you is from Zoe.  She must feel the same as I do.  Bayberry Cottage is absolutely perfect for beach photos.  Once again, I love all the hand cut elements and the fun borders.  It adds so much to her page without overpowering it.  Her title placement and design is spot on.  And I think I will be taking some pointers from her as far as layering goes!!!

As always, thank you to everyone for sharing your layouts and projects in the Live Pink Gallery.  So many people draw inspiration from your work!
