pink paislee switchboard tag album

Are your ready for Father's Day. Thankfully I am actually on top of it for the most part. With the help of Switchboard from Pink Paislee I was able to do my annual mini album for my kiddos' Dad. 

There are a whole lot of details as this is posted today on the Pink Paislee blog. I hope you will hop on over and see ALL the pics to this album, as there are only a few shown here.

But this is my way to make sure my kids take time to share their love and sentiments with their Dad. And it comes with a recent candid photo of each, and their own journal tags to write down their own words. Even this little guy gets to scribble on his.

This album also gave me a chance to use some of my digital cuts available at the Sizzix eShape Store. Here I used a cut and created a divider to add my own words to my husband. The kraft card stock was cut using one of my digital cuts from the Sizzix eShape Store. This scallop is part of a tag album collection that will be available soon.

This cut here is from my Overlays Collection. The Diagonal Overlay here is used as a divider and a great space for extra words and attached tags.

I also used the Framed Chevrons as a divider as well. You can see it peeking a bit under the other layers.

It's this great big card of photos and words all in one place for their Dad to have for years to come. And I love how this one turned out. Like I said, lots more photos for your viewing pleasure to be found at Pink Paislee. Let me know if you have any questions!!!

hello #cute

hello friends...

i have been in a bit of a catch up mode of late with my kids stories. while i continue to love project life and telling our bigger story, there are so many individual stories that are in my heart that have to be shared and added to their own albums.

so here is a little story of this little guy and his love for the weekly library trip. a story about how all grown up he is about having to look at everything. check out all the board books. and then find that one book that is his check out of the week. and then the need to work the kiosk all by himself. ah...these are treasured moments that will pass away so quickly.

so i felt the need to use the new Switchboard from Pink Paislee with all the 'hello' greetings and heart Ephemera and put it to work on this page.

i found that the Georgia Peach Color Shine is a perfect compliment to the oranges found in the Switchboard collection. stenciling and colored tags were added to pop that color.

also, Navy Color Shine works great to add to the navy already found in the papers.

having already made a few layouts with Switchboard, for me it is a great collection for more boyish themes. even though there is plenty of floral embellishments to be found, i keep leaning to boy. isn't that funny how colors can do that to you? i will have to break out and challenge myself to something more feminine. stay tuned.

o.k...so this set will be shipping very very soon to stores and online shops as well. hope you found some inspiration for Switchboard here today.
