DeNami Design

Goodness gracious, where did the weekend go?! I can’t believe it’s Sunday night and I’m hours away from work. I really do love my job {most of the time}, but these past few weeks have been ridiculously stressful. If you think of it, I would greatly appreciate some thoughts and prayers in my direction!

Lately I feel like I haven’t been giving my DeNami stamps very much love- I’m hoping to change that in the near future. As we all know, I love my Papertrey stamps but that’s no reason why I should neglect my other stamps. :) Does anyone else have this problem?

Tonight I made some cards for my very first publication call. Let me tell ya, I am extremely nervous about submitting. I’m definitely a people pleaser {almost to a fault} and don’t take rejection too well. Thankfully I have had so many people encourage me to submit and give me such sweet compliments and advice, I’m going to try not to take it personally. If/ when I ever get accepted on a publication call, I’ll definitely let you all know. ;)

Well, it’s late and I have a long day of work tomorrow. Have a terrific week!

Goodness gracious, where does the time go?! I can’t believe it’s already Sunday night! Just a few more hours of fun and then it’s time for the CRAZY work week. This week we’re prepping for our large CHA inventory, make-n-takes, final details, plus all the everday tasks. We’re working longer days every day we are open- I may not be up for posting too often in the next four days.

Today’s card is my one of my favorites. I absolutely adore the new DeNami Design Small Solid Button stamp. Isn’t it adorable?! We all know I’m so obsessed with buttons- it’s genius to have a stamp of one so I can create my own papers and backgrounds! When DeNami Design was creating their new collection, they asked if we had any requests. The one at the top of my list was a button stamp- I’m so glad that they actually made one! I just love it when companies “open the floor” to their customers and actually respond!

Thanks for popping by! Hope you have a F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S week!

Hello friends!

Today is going to be a short post- I’m feeling super sleepy and don’t have too much to say. {Amazing, huh?}

The card for today features all products that DeNami Design carries. I am absolutely in LOVE with the new Decorative Flourish that just came out. I have used it on so many projects, it’s quite ridiculous. It’s perfect for the areas that have just a tad bit too much white. I also love it because you can use it on whimsical, cute, elegant and fun projects! This image is a must have. :) {Okay, enough of my sales pitch…you’ll have to see all the uses for yourself.}

Work has been crazy busy. There is a trade show this weekend, which caught me off guard. I knew that it was coming, I just thought it was next week. Alas, I did panic just a tad bit and had to work like a mad woman. Thankfully everything is just about done and the show should go on without a hitch. However, I have already pushed this show from my mind and have started to think of the CHA SuperShow. This will be the first time that I have attended any sort of CHA show, so I have no idea what to expect. If you are planning on attending, let me know! I’ll be sure to bring a camera so I can take pics of EVERYTHING! :)

That’s a wrap for tonight. Thanks for stopping by!

Goodness gracious, where has the time gone? I can’t believe my two weeks of vacation is coming to an end. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time off- wish I could have another two weeks! Tomorrow morning it’s back to reality.

If you have followed my blog, you know that I rarely create baby cards. There have been a rare few that have been “Paulina approved”. I never seem to make any that reflect my crafting personality and also look decent. However that has all changed. I am SO in love with this card- I can’t get enough of the new DeNami Design stamps! I’m on the DeNami Design team so I get to play with these stamps before anyone else does. With over 60 new designs, it was hard to give each design the attention it deserved!

As you can see, lately I have been digging the stitched look. I love these stitched circles! They can be used for so many different occasions and projects! DeNami Design also has a new stitched border and stitched square. I’m fairly certain that you’ll be seeing both of these on the blog in the near future. :)

I’ll be back later today with my blog candy post. Like I mentioned before, there will be so yummy Martha Stewart goodies this time around!

Hello sweet friends!

First of all, thank you to everyone who has left a comment on my Embellish the Cure post! I’m glad that you all liked the card! I was surprised to see how many “new” people left a comment…I love when I get comments from people who haven’t commented before!

Today I have a sweet, simple Fall card for you. This card was made in a matter of minutes- the best kind of card! I love these DeNami pumpkins- they’re so whimsical and fun! Oh yes, and did you see that yummy chocolate brown grosgrain ribbon? It’s utterly amazing to work with! Lately, grosgrain ribbon and I have been the best of buds….I just can’t get enough! I have over 20 different colors and widths- it’s quite ridiculous. :)

Since it’s Fall, I have been obsessed with my pumpkin items again. Let’s go back to the archives and see my first post mentioning pumpkin spice lattes, shall we? Now, I can’t have coffee anymore (makes me feel sick), but I CAN still have pumpkin goodies. My three favorites: pumpkin smoothies, pumpkin steamers and of course, pumpkin bread! I simply can’t get enough pumpkin. In fact, I recently bought pumpkin scented soap! Yes, I know, it’s a little overboard. :)

Well, that’s all for now. Have a fab day, girlies!

As always, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
