Gettin' By

Five on Friday.

There's new stuff popping up daily in the Two Peas store, and here are five products that I'm loving (and using!) a lot lately:

1. Lily Bee Design Pinwheel collection ($20.50).  Maybe it's because I'm craving summer right now, but the colors and patterns in the Lily Bee Pinwheel line are making me happy! I love the whole line for it's bright hues and simple patterns, but the orange polka dot pattern on the Apricot Tree paper is my absolute fave!

 

2. Two Peas Digital Cut Files (free - $1.99).  Have you stopped by the totally new Two Peas Digital store? You should! There are fresh and funky die cut files, printables and more. I adore these Light Bulbs and the Photo Frames, but there's lots more fun image available (and some are even free - like that camera above) so check it out!

3. American Crafts vellum ($.99).  I was enamoured with vellum way back when I started scrapping in the late 90s, and it's still something I use on my pages. In fact, my most current three pages all feature vellum. Everyone needs a stash of this staple!

4. Midnight Letters Stamps by Mama Elephant ($14.99). I'm a sucker for any alphabet stamps because I know I will use them consistently for titles, journaling, labels and more. This set is the perfect size for smaller titles (and ideal for Project Life cards) and the outline + solid stamps is like getting two alphas for the price of one!

5.  Kate & Co Decorative Tape by My Mind's Eye ($9.99). My inner prep is ecstatic with this new line from MME. The mix of soft aquas and yellows with kelly green and navy have me thinking of boat shoes, argyle sweaters and Izods with popped colors (layered up, of course!) These tapes are one of my favorite items from the collection - and they'll be making a cameo appearance in my next Seeing Double video!

Happy Friday!

Give-It-Away Thursday: Basic Grey Album Kit

I'm not a huge mini-album maker, but I've had the chance to work with some of the new Basic Grey journals and they just might convert me! The slightly-larger-than-mini size (7" x 9") means there's more room in these sturdy binders for your photos and memorabilia. And the coordinating insert pages (die cut tab pages, printed inserts and photo sleeves!) make it super easy to create an adorable and functional album quickly. Because if I can't do it quick - it won't happen!

Right now (but only until May 12!) Basic Grey has special pricing on two album kits from their popular Knee Highs & Bow Ties line. For only $25, you'll get a 7x9 album with 5 tab pages, 5 designer insert pages and 6 page protectors, plus a 6x6 pad, element stickers, chipboard shapes, mini alphabet stickers and a book of snippets:

Today I'm giving away one of these album kits to a lucky reader! Just leave me a comment telling me your favorite Basic Grey product right now.** I'll pick a random winner from the eligible comments on Saturday, May 4.

Happy Thursday!

Wardrobe Wednesday

Spring has popped in for a bit here in Colorado - this weekend it was near 75 degrees! - and I took that opportunity to dust off a pair of shorts and sandals and style a spring-ish outfit:

Granted, with the cool morning temps, I had to pair them with a chambray shirt and cardigan, a look that was totally inspired by this outfit in a recent Garnet Hill catalog:

 

I topped my trusty chambray with a favorite sweater that I got a few years back at Anthropologie since it has a similar embroidered pattern across the front.

And of course I had to add my obnoxiously yellow clutch because despite my deep, deep love for this color, there's only so many outfits it works with. Gotta go with the neon when you can!

And it will tide me over until my neon yellow pumps arrive...which should be just in time for the six inches of snow we're supposed to get today. Bah.

Rest assured that when spring does arrive, I'll be celebrating it by wearing copious amounts of neon. You have been warned.
