How can you go wrong with PINK? This little girl kit is so much fun. It’s pretty in pink and full of fun, frills and flowers. Here are a few of the patterned papers included. Included with each DIY Kit you will find ribbon, embellishments and alphabet stickers to match! And, of course — we don’t want to leave out the boys. A very blue boyish kit will be revealed on the blog later this afternoon!

I absolutely love this!!! So many of the albums and photo-related gifts I create are gifts, I usually get to see the excitement from the gift-giver, but not always reactions from the person receiving the gift! Michelle was so sweet to capture an adorable photo of Sydney after she opened her shadowbox and share it with us! Thanks, Michelle! Sydney, I am so glad you love the shadowbox. It was SO fun to put together!!

I had a TON of fun with this project! Not only do I love photos, but I love baseball… it was a blast to put together two of my favorite things in an adorable shadowbox for Sydney to cherish for years to come!

These photos are from a Padres game this Spring. Sydney was able to go on the field and annouce a player on the San Diego Padres at the beginning of third inning — how cool!! She even was given the game ball!

Check back tomorrow for a super cute photo of Sydney opening her surprise shadowbox gift!

A few weeks ago I attended a beautiful bridal shower for my good friend, Shawndene. I am so excited for her upcoming wedding! I’ve seen a few sneak peaks of the DIY projects that she has created and I’m sure it will be absolutely stunning. They had an adorable candy bar at the shower and each guest got to take home a mason jar with two frosted cupcakes stacked in the jar. Delicious!

Here are a few snapshots with my girls from the party!

With the pretty bride-to-be, Shawndene…

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 love this time of year. There are constantly countdowns until Summer Vacation, the “last” college final exam, the “last” day of middle school, graduation annoucements and the excitement about post-high school plans. I remember how much fun it was to look forward to sleeping in, staying up late, going on vacation and enjoying some downtime.

It was such a pleasure to put together this Graduation Mini Album for Lindsey! Here are a few highlights… Congrats to the Class of 2011!

I’m very excited to share that Embellish will be introducing DIY kits for purchase! Here is a sneak peak of some of the carstock patterned and solid paper, Thickers and embellishments included in the DIY kit. More sneak peaks and sample pages coming your way. Get inspired!

The page layout below includes wedding photos of my adorable cousin, Julia. Isn’t she the prettiest little flower girl? Adorable!

I’ve been eager to create a chipboard mini album designed especially for little girls. The pink ribbons, buttons and girly design is just too much fun. This chipboard album is from Maya Road. I used Pebbles embellishments. Paper, ribbons and buttons are by various vendors. It is a pre-made brag book – you just need to add your favorite photos and memories of your little girl. This is a fantastic baby shower gift! Shipping is included. It is available on etsy!

This is a personalized photo canvas board that I put together for our local Ladies Who Launch leader, Felena!
