My Bright Life

Have a look at this adorable NEW collection from Jen Hadfield and Pebbles.  I don't know what it is but Jen Hadfield's designs speak to me.  I love the ever present rustic backdrop of browns and wood grains.  And this collection is so fresh with the wonderful pops of fuchsia and gold foil.

I have brought nearly the entire collection because I LOVE it so much.  Have a look and tell me what you think!

Card Kits - Everything you need to make 30 cards!

I love these card kits.  Everything you need to make 30 cards including envelopes!  Follow the instructions or get creative and do as you please.  Cards like this are perfect to whip up and have on hand.  I love working on these kits when I want to be creative and I don't want to think.....you know those days!

6x6 paper pad

 This 6x6 paper pad is perfect for card makers and planner people with it's reduced scale design. All papers co-ordinate making designing a snap!  Foiled papers are even included in this size paper which is a real treat.

12x12 Paper - 3x4 Cards perfect for cards etc.

You guys know how much I love these sheets of 12x12.  Chop them up to have adorable pieces on hand to create tags, cards and more.  She shoots....she scores with quick and easy crafting!  Thank you, Pebbles.

I am in love with embroidery hoops.  I collect them EVERY time I am at Value Village....ask Julia.  Ha.  She is like "Really mom?  More hoops?".  After looking at this adorable 12x12 paper, can you blame me?  The wheels are turning for my next class.

 Ok.  This sheet of 12x12 paper is IN-credible.  Again, chop up these 2x2 squares to make perfect little tags, use them in your planners, etc.  Add some glitter and you're done!  Yes.....crafting CAN be this easy!!

 You know what I'm going to say here.....so yeah.  Do it!

Ephemera

 Love.  Love.  Love.  A bazillion little cut outs ready to make you happy. (Yes, I counted).

Only THE cutest little stickers to match it all. 

So?  So?  Are you as pumped about this line as I am?  Pst.....we will be using this line for our upcoming make & take happening THIS Saturday (from 10-2pm)!  Pop in and get your craft on.

Daddy Daughter Dance 2018

Last Friday was the Daddy Daughter Dance and The Paper Pickle was there.  This is a big fundraiser for The Chatham-Kent Children's Safety Village.  The Safety Village is a non-profit who's purpose is to keep children safe through education and awareness.  My children have attended sessions at The Safety Village through their school and I am grateful.  We are very lucky to have them in our community.  And I wanted to give back.

This year, I prepped kits for 150 girls!  All supplies and my time are donated for this event.  The cards are kept very simple as there are girls ranging in age from 2-16.  I thought this line from Doodlebug was very appropriate.  

Now there are two reasons why I initially volunteered to be a part of this event.  First of all, I wanted to see why my daughter and husband look forward to this event each year.  They have been attending since it's inception (at least 4-5 years now) and would never dream of missing it!  I mean it must be pretty special.  Oh and is it ever!  The girls and dads are dressed up.  There is dancing (Shawn from PartyTime DJ is always there spinning the tunes), there is a photo booth by Captured Moments and two strips of photos are given to each - one for dad and one for daughter.  What a beautiful keepsake!  There is a sundae bar. There is pizza. There are flowers.  There are balloons.  It.  Is.  Adorable.

....best of all, you give me love. 

And the best part....and the reason why I offered to do this for a second year.......There is lots and LOTS of LOVE.....  Oh my goodness.  These next few photos are the reason why I run around like a wild woman sweating and helping and gluing and praising and laughing and smiling and.....

Love the curly font, Summer!

Bold and beautiful.

Best use of coloured pens and stamps.

Best in black and white.  Way to go Peyton!

Oh Bry....your love is apparent.

So yeah.  This is why I do it.  My heart was FULL after this event.  Thank you for the re-charge Barb and team at The Chatham-Kent Children's Safety Village.  See you next year!
