Huge thank you to everyone who has entered, if you haven’t checked out the gallery in awhile make sure you do soon! There is so much eye candy to see in there it is amazing! The August contest starts now.

Also, we are so excited to have our tags in an awesome kit this month. Head on over to Scrap Therapy to check it out, looks like tons of fun and it’s packed full!

And, last but not least, our August Special:

Retail value is $11.24, but is on special for 20% off at $8.99 for the month of August! Every month we put two – four items together and put them on special for 20% off. You can get your hands on this one at our official site or through our etsy shop!

Today was a fun and crafty day! I finally got around to spray painting my frames I bought almost 6 months ago! Here’s the before: After!:
And… a little funny, but I had no idea I liked this color combo so much! I was taking these photos and looked at my outfit and realized I matched! LOL!
And… here’s a little fun mini I’m working on! I’m using the 2009 Calendar Mini Album from the shop and plan on making this an artsy/memory book. I’m going to record thoughts, feelings, new ideas and more each month. It’s so amazing how quickly things change and I think it will be fun to look back on this in a couple years!

The 2009 calendars are now in stock at our website and on our etsy site! There is also some fun houndstooth patterned day and month tags, too! We are definitely loving the houndstooth pattern and will be using it on more products in the future!

Since we are getting all our new items (Halloween and Christmas, too) ready and packaged, we have had to make some room. We now have a new section in the shop at the website called “Limited Quantity Remaining” These items will go into retirement as soon as they sell out and because of that, we have very limited stock on hand… Get them while you can!! Also, all of these limited items have been pulled from the Etsy shop and will not be available over there.

And… drum roll please………………………………………..
The eight randomly drawn winners from the post below are:

<3 you all!

Hey everyone!

We’ve had a ton of requests to launch our 2009 calendars early, so we decided to make it happen! This will allow everyone to get a head start on all those Christmas presents!! They will be launching first thing on Sunday, July 27th, so make sure to mark it down and check back then! We have FOUR brand new, hot-off-the-press designs, and one recurring design!!! Can you tell I’m excited? Here’s a sneak peek: We’ve been working hard on all our new designs for Halloween and Christmas, too! These items will launching in August – stay tuned for updates! We’ve been making LOTS of room for the new incoming items and have decided to retire some older tags, but more on that later!

TIME FOR THE FUN PART! As we were doing our little pre-launch cleaning we found some extra Grand Opening tag packs! We have EIGHT to give away!! Leave a comment and tell all your friends to head on over and enter! We’ll even ship them overseas!! We’ll let the contest run all week, since we probably won’t have time to post during this week! So check back on July 27th to see if you are a winner!!!

Hope you are enjoying the sunshine!XO, Elle

Today I received an email from American Eagle about their new site… usually these types of emails end up in my recycle bin but this one caught my eye… I’ve been searching for some new indie type music lately and haven’t had much luck… until today! I’ve downloaded 4 albums (somebody stop me!) and can’t wait to listen to them all. I found all these artists at ae’s new site, but then downloaded the entire albums on itunes 🙂

Check back late tonight to see this month’s new Guest Designer, along with some super awesome inspiration!!
