no rules, just happy crafting
If you want to be transported to a place of loveliness, where life is a beautiful party full of soft colors and plenty of fun detail… you’ll want to check out the new Maggie Holmes for Crate Paper line Confetti.
Filled with great scrapbooking elements like paper, stickers, and cool items like this wood heart frame – this can be a go-to for the cardmaker or scrapbooker.
American Crafts now includes Pink Paislee, Pebbles, Crate Paper and more! They’ve become absolutely huge and had a large section on the show floor with all their latest and greatest – as well as their signature designers. Today I want to share with you my favorite offerings that will be sold under the actual “American Crafts” brand.
First up, let’s talk Amy Tangerine’s new “Plus One” line.

I’m back with just one more peek at a new line coming from the awesome American Crafts. Most of their lines this show were under their other company names (Crate Paper, Pebbles, Etc) – but they also released a fabulous Christmas line I just couldn’t stop peeking at.
I adore the bits & pieces they do with fun themed things. I also am really digging the very traditional Christmas palette mixed with the blue-grey color. Continue reading “CHA: American Crafts Peppermint Express!”
It is no secret that I love Amy Tan’s colorful and fun product lines – and Cut & Paste is no exception. Her newest line continues to expand her product offerings while still staying true to her signature style and being products that can mix & match with her older lines.
This collection contains 22 double-sided patterned papers, two specialty papers, coordinating Thickers, stickers, and two beautifully designed embroidery stencil kits. New favorites include stitched vellum pockets and die-cut, dimensional paper. Add a bit of color with Cut & Paste!
I really love Pebbles summer line, Lakeside. In fact so much do I love it, that I actually ordered up some more of it because I want to use it for some adventures we’re having next month. Today I want to share a layout that I created with that line + a little American Crafts Mayberry.
What I love most about this page is that I got the story told + used up items in my stash that I adore and have been meaning to use. Probably one of the biggest crafty sins is to buy product you ADORE, and never use it!! I try really hard to use (at least in part) things I love enough to buy because then they’re being used happily in my crafting, instead of gathering dust somewhere in a corner, too precious to use.

This collection is one of my favorites in a long time – I love that it can be more rugged and woods-y or more floral and soft. I also really love that it can be mixed somewhat with American Crafts Mayberry line, another favorite I used a bit of here as well.
I loved sneaking in this bit of just for fun scrapbooking – now back to work for me!
