This is a catalog sample I made using our Ephemera Kit along with a bit of 5th Avenue. You can see another sample I made a few months ago using the same with the Ephemera Kit here.
Hoping you each had a lovely weekend, and that this week treats you well!
This layout features a little bit from 3 of our Collections: Kitschy Kitchen, Attic Treasures, and 5th Avenue. I wanted to show how our Collections really do mix and match together so well. I will be the first to admit that it's not always the easiest thing to make our overtly feminine lines work for masculine layouts, so the purpose of this layout was to show that it can be done!
This layout it not completely finished yet, I will be adding one of our new broaches to the center of the clock face, but I don't have the broach here - I'll glue it on once I get it at the show. So this is how the layout looks for now. This adorable baby belongs to my friend Vanessa and is one of the photos I took for her last fall.
I also love how the resin flower bouquetlooks on this layout. If you've never seen this product before, it comes with a shabby white finish, but for this project, I colored it using the lightest pastel Copic markers, then sprayed with spray adhesive and sprinkled with iridescent glitter. Be still my heart, it looks divine!!
This afternoon I'll be flying out to LA to set up our booth with Melissa & Brian. We're looking forward to a great show. If you're planning on attending, please pop by to say 'hi'. We'll be in booth #1256.
I know that many of you are wondering what Melissa Frances, the company I work for, will be releasing at the upcoming CHA show. I am happy to finally begin to share some details!! Our newest Collection is called 5th Avenue. It has a Vintage-Shabby meets Victorian vibe and features bright pastels.
You can check out the Melissa Frances blog for sneak peeks. I'm going to try to photograph a few of the samples I made for our booth and get them up here as well.
Hi Friends, sorry it's been so quiet around here. Rick and I just returned on Tuesday night from a holiday in Paradise...
We had the pleasure of embarking on a 10 night Caribbean Cruise, visiting St. Kitts, Barbados, St. Maartens, St. Thomas, and Dominica. It was such a wonderful time...truly relaxing in every sense of the word. Now it's back to work with a vengeance as I as precious little time before leaving for LA in a weeks time for CHA.
I hope you've been doing well while I've been gone.

A new year holds so many fresh possibilities. For those of you who follow my blog for paper crafting, you will be happy to know that we at Melissa Frances have been hard at work finalizing everything for CHA, the big trade show that will take place in a few weeks. We will be introducing a bunch of new and exciting products, which I'm sure fans of the vintage-shabby style will love. I can't wait to finally show you...
