Valentine Embellishment Kit

First, a big thank you to all who applied for our design team. I will be announcing our team on Tuesday! I can't wait to share with you!
Second, I was asked by several people if I was selling the Christmas embellishment kits for my Dec Daily album. Unfortunately, I only made one for myself. So, I decided to make a few Valentine embellishment kits (VERY similar to the Christmas kit). Once these are gone, they are gone for good.

You will receive a goodie bag shown above.

Here is what's inside: 3 handmade kraft journaling cards. A stamp embossed, and 2 sewn cards.

4 mini envelopes. 2 mini Martha Stewart, a glassine and a small pink envelope.

Several trinkets: felt heart, heart stickers, 2 crocheted flowers, 3 mini clothes pins, 2 wooden heart buttons, and 4 XO letters.

You'll get one die cut word "Sweetie".

5 valentine flair buttons & 4 paper heart doilies.

3 Martha Stewart stamp stickers & 10 CHIC TAG Valentine tags (random). All not shown.

1 yard of vintage lace and 10 feet each of pink and red twine. This little goodie pack of LOVE can be purchased here for $12.99 plus $2.50 for SH. Simply press the buy now button.Thanks bunches!

i would love to be able to use doilies too. but they are not available locally. :) i would love to win some stuff from your shop!

I'm loving all the applications. Keep them coming! I forgot to mention, I am only choosing a few designers. I'm pretty sure the number is 5. :)

Tags used: Everyday Life ATC, Everyday life mini tags & Fall Date banners

Here is a little share, I made a Project life cover. Yay! I love it! I am so excited about this new way of scrapbooking. I used some of my new tags and a date banner from fall. I still have an obsession with doilies. :) I added journaling in the polka dot envelope.

I think we need a giveaway? If you would love some new tags, please leave a comment.
One winner will receive a $30 GC to our shop!! You have til tomorrow at 11pm. I'll draw a name then!!

Yes PLEASE!! In fact, I encourage it!

Do I need to use Chic Tags in my application?

No. I would love to see them in action, but I have a great imagination.

Unfortunately, that is the purpose of a creative team. I need ACTIVE bloggers with enthusiasm for blogging!

Why is the term ONLY 3 months?

We launch new items every 2-3 months and would like fresh faces/ styles.

It's not required, but it is very helpful! Twitter works well too.

Just show me your style anything from the past year will do!

Yes, I would love an all cards creator. If mini albums or cards is your passion- SHOW ME!

The truth, I don't have a lot of time. I have 2 wee ones 13 months apart. I want the team picked as quickly as possible. I love looking at each application but I hate hurting feelings. I know, I have been there. I hope you trust the process and please don't take it personal. :)

Happy Holidays!

I am still here! Thank you for all the "are you still alive" emails. I really appreciate it! :)I'm so sorry it has taken me a month to come back to the blog. I had all these plans to make things and in the end, I decided online shopping was best.
Of all the years that we have had this little shop, this year has been the busiest. It started in September and never slowed down, in fact, it got BUSIER! We added so many wonderful retailers and customers to our list.
We are super delighted to announce that ALL our tags are now in Scrapbook.com  all 154 items!
This was such a huge and wonderful surprise! I thank God daily for blessings such as these. I hope now you can understand my absence.
In the meantime, I'm just trying to enjoy every last moment of this beautiful season! Our tree is lit, presents all bought (not wrapped yet), and the kids are counting down daily!

 We have been so busy around here,  that I failed to send out Christmas cards. GASP!!! Here is a preview of our holiday photo session:

We thank you for your continued support and wish you and yours a wonderful Christmas!
xoxo, A &V

Getting ready for December

WINNER***** Number 25 Rebecca said... Totally awesome! I have been so inspired by Liz of Paislee Press too! I'm not starting PL yet - I'm starting the first of the year, and can't wait! I'll do my December Daily for December. :) You've got some awesome goodies!!

Hello! Who is ready for Christmas!? I haven't started shopping yet. Hope to do it all in one bang! Hopefully this Friday. Sunday we have scheduled Christmas pics. I'm excited!!! I'm actually starting things early. Well, earlier than most years. I just can't find enough time for everything. I really need to organize in order to stay on task! Speaking of organizing...
I started gathering all my December Journal supplies:

I bought some more twine! One can never have enough. :)

I bought some Martha Stewart paper tape and some Washi tape from Japanistic.

I am also going to make my own little journaling cards. I got the idea for these cards from Paislee Press. I love her style!

I found a ton of little envelopes in my stash:

Bought some Martha Stewart labels from Michaels.

and....I jumped on the bandwagon...I'm going to start a Project Life album, starting next week!! I got my protectors in the mail and I will be using an American Crafts album. I am super excited about this. It seems VERY similar to a week in the life and I absolutely loved that project. I'm eager and ready!!!
Anyone else starting PL this month?

I also dropped in to share some of my goodies. I have a small giveaway for anyone interested in a pack of festive embellishments!

Just leave a comment below to be entered. I will draw  a name tomorrow at 8pm.

xoxo, Veronica
