Happy Thursday! What’s “gold” to me today? Great finds! I’m definitely the girl that searches for a coupon code before buying anything online, loves outlet stores, brags when I find a good steal, takes full advantage of happy hour and enjoys bargain hunting! I dug up a few photos from my sister’s birthday last year. We had a blast at the Pasadena Flea Market at the Rose Bowl Stadium. The parking lot had rows and rows of vendors, some awesome vintage finds and a very wide selection of goodies. I bought a bright white porselin pitcher that will look amazing as a vase with some bright flowers this Spring, a few super cute succulents and a vintage wooden box with a big stamp on the outside of it. Here are some photos of the gals and me!

All the girls…

I’m back on the blog today with Part 2 of Jake’s birthday mini album! Isn’t he a cutie? I love his personality and fun expressions!

I’ve bragged about the cuteness factor of Baby Jacob, so I thought I’d show him off a little more. This is a cute little mini 6×6 album that I made for his one-year-old birthday. I love how you can download the hi-res versions of photos on Facebook! I secretly stole and printed these photos of Jake to surprise mom and dad with the album! Here’s part 1 of 2!

We are so excited to introduce a brand spankin’ new mini book designed just for little boys. Whether you are looking for a unique baby shower gift or an album beyond the baby book, this little boys mini album is perfect! The 6×6 album includes bright, colorful pre-designed pages. The only thing missing are 20 of your favorite photos! This 100% BOY album features dinsours, trucks, legos, robots, superheroes, scooters, bikes, skateboards and space travel! Purchase your mini album today for just $40 at the embellish shop! (Don’t forget we will personalize the front cover, as well!)

I recently put together this adorable 6×6 pre-made mini album for a high school friend’s mom’s birthday. The colors and design of this album uses paper and materials from the Embellish Spring Kit. I love the look and feel. It is romantic, yet modern. Perfect for a sophisticated, yet fun and cutesy album for a mom, best friend or grandma!

Sticking with the bachelorette party / wedding theme for the week, here’s the cute little goody bags that I put together for Lauren’s bachelorette party. They were super simple, but pretty fun. They were especially stylin’ when displayed together. All you need is a colored bag, a black marker, a little ribbon and bubbly handwriting! There’s nothing to it! These bags would be super cute for birthday parties, too.

I’ve been so busy with mini albums, shadowboxes and other papercrafting projects, it feels like it has been FOREVER since I’ve put together a traditional 12×12 scrapbook page! My sweet coworker Ellen asked for a little help from Embellish to put together a page for her sister, Jeanne’s, 60th birthday! Ellen provided this adorable picture of her and her sister dancing the night away. Too cute!

I made this album for Jeremy’s great grandma. Her favorite word is “hugs”! This American Crafts 6×6 album comes in 6 styles. Embellish Creative Designs is now offering pre-designed albums on Etsy!

I am in love with this adorable 6×6 mini deck “the boyfriend” — the paper airplane paper is so much fun!

This brag book for Malachi’s second birthday was so much fun to put together. What a cutie! Check back for the quick recap of the 12-page customized Embellish brag book.
