A Sad Day

I have decided to close out the Pawsitively Purrfect Memories Facebook account. Our lovely little shop is just too little right now to have the use for Facebook, or even to be able to gain more use out of a Facebook account. Saddly this also means that the Facebook Lucky Me Giveaway has ended with no winner.

We did have one person join us on Facebook, and for that one person we are giving her a free card, the card will be of her choice, any card, any color, any occasion. So congrats to Lori! Please e-mail me at vaeaton@live.com with details of the card you need. Thank you for joining us on Facebook.

I do plan to hold another Lucky Me Giveaway, but this time it will be larger at least 5 winners with great prizes! I will be posting this giveaway soon with all the details needed to win! Thanks again for joining me for this sad posting.

A Work in Progress

I totally have loved the idea of Chipboard Mini Albums from the first time I ever picked up a Scrapbooking Magazine! They are amazing and just make the best gifts ever! Unfortunately I am a Dollar Store Crafter. Very rarely do I pay over 3$ for any craft project. I always check out Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, and of course my DI (Deseret Industries) for anything I need, including storage systems, paper, stamps, stickers, and odd embellishments! I also carefully watch for the sales at my local Roberts Arts & Crafts, Joanns Fabric Store, and Micheal's! I don't like ordering online so I really never do that. I probably miss out on a lot of great deals but that's ok. I get by just fine by doing what I'm doing! And as we all know chipboard Mini albums are on the more expensive side of things so I have never had the luxery of buying one. Until about 3 weeks ago, I was at the DI and was so excited to see that they had a huge stack of chipboard Cog mini albums from Stampin' UP!!! I'm not sure what year they are from but they are amazing! And super cute! I bought 4 of them at .50 cents a piece! What a steal! I originally bought them to give as gifts for Father's Day but what I had planned just isn't going to work out so I have decided to use them to celebrate my children! I am working on my oldest right now and I have pictures for you to enjoy as well! They don't have my logo on them so please do not steal them, use them for inspiration only. Thank you.
This is what my Mini Album looked like before I dug into my project!

I love the Cog! I really wish I had some clock work stamps! They would've looked awesome on this!

My oldest is Smokey (Male age 9) so I chose darker colors and boxy patterns. They totally match his personality! What a fun project!
















That's only half the album! I am loving how it is all coming together!! I will post pictures of the finished product very soon! Thanks again for reading and have a very Happy Paper Crafting Day! Don't forget to stop by our Facebook and become a fan to be entered into special Lucky Me Giveaways!

Lucky Me

Today I got started on a special gift for a Dear Friend and Reader! She commented on a posting of mine about a bunny stamp that she just loved so I took that as inspiration and dug through all of my paper. 15 Minutes later I had 5 sheets of chocolate paper, 5 sheets of white paper, 1 sheet of glitter designer paper and that bunny stamp from my Forest Friends Stampin' Up set, and don't forget about my faithful Zig Zag 2 in 1 glue stick. I decided to make a memo gift set for her! I took a dvd case and customized it to fit these amazing memo sheets! Because of the layers I used I could only make ten sheets fit in the dvd case but still they all turned out great! Are you ready to see the pictures???

This photo was stage one. I had just finished trimming the three different papers and gluing them all down.

Then I added a touch of flare and funk because this particular person is anything but normal and I love that about her! I love this stamp and got it in a set of 4 for only 1.49$!



After that I cut some white circles and round scallops in chocolate. Inside the white circle I stamped that super cute bunny rabbit which finished the memo sheets!



After that it was time to make the dvd case match and look just as amazing! Using the same paper I added some glam to the case!


This was such a fun and amazing thing to create! I think I might just make some for myself! I just love how cute and tidy everything looks!

Now, I have been thinking about this for a while now and I would like to get a few opinions on it. To gain a bigger client base I have been thinking about doing giveaways called "Lucky Me Giveaways" they will be done with random drawings after commenting that you would like to win the items and telling friends and families about the amazing free items. What do you think about winning free stuff from Pawsitively Purrfect Memories? Would you be excited? Leave me a Comment telling me what you think, I always love hearing from all of you!

Father's Day Samples

OK dear friends, family, and loving fans. Here are 3 samples of my Father's Day collection. In the end there should be 6 that you can choose from. This year for father's day I am only using my two newest Stampin' Up sets. I just got these about a month and half to two months ago and have been dying to use them! Both sets are from the current Catalog, the first one is called Forest Friends, it is a wood mounted set, and the second one is called funky four which is a clear mounted set! I love these sets!


You can see why I have been so anxious to use them! They are just to die for cute! So for Father's Day I have done up a few very cute cards in boyish colors. (Remember that the colors can be changed to fit your own taste. Also if you do not want a card that I have shown you can special order one that is more to your liking but the prices might go up.) These cards I am looking at selling for 4$ each and that includes the decorated Envelope. If you would like to place an order or leave comments please email me at vaeaton@live.com. Thank you all so much!!

The owl is raised up just a bit to give this card the slight 3D effect and the \\PoP// it needed!




Remember that this is just the first three out of six! I will hopefully get the rest done tomorrow! Thank you for reading another picture filled posting and as always have a Happy Paper Crating Day!

A Purrfect Glimps

I wanted to take this moment of down time to tell you all about one of my favorite storage systems. My Stamp storage system! Its amazing! Originally I kept my stamps in my pink 3 drawer tote. I really had no idea what stamps I had and I never thought to use any of them. The thought of "out of sight - out of mind" comes to my mind when thinking about my old stamp storage system. Then on a trip to the DI (Deseret Industries) with my husband, which we do often, we found this amazing Making Memories Die Cut Store display. When I first looked at it I never thought I would use it. Mostly because it was so big, the drawers are small and weird shaped, and there are over 100 drawers! After talking things over with my husband and realising that in Scrapbooking and Card making there are a ton of little pieces and scraps that really need to be organized. It cost us 10$! The best 10$ that I have ever spent. (Well probably not the best, but it was an amazing bargain and I'm glad I spent the 10$ on it!) We stuffed it in the car and went on our merry little way. When we got home I pulled out my disinfectant spray and wipes and went at it! It had been in storage for a while, there were dead bugs and spiders all over the place. It took me 3 days of 3 hours of cleaning to make it all white and clean. It took another day or two of pulling off the old labels and putting on new blank ones which I took a green marker and wrote numbers on. After I got it cleaned up and started looking at it I realised that it was amazing! I thought for a long time about what I actually wanted to put in it. I took another day of carefully considering my options before making my decision. The next morning I went to my stamp collection and started arranging them to my liking. Then come to find out my wood mounted stamps are too tall for the drawers. I didn't know what I was going to do. Then I realised that my wonderful system didn't need all of the drawers! It was my choice to use all of them or not. (*I have a really hard time realising that once I buy an item it really is mine and I can tear it apart any way I see fit. So it is never the first thing I come to.*) I pulled out every other drawer and my wonderful stamp collection fit perfectly! Of course all of my clear stamps fit purrfectly in the drawers so pulling out every other drawer isn't necessary. I loved the ease of the whole things! It took me about a week to get everything put together but I am so glad that I took the time to think things through and make sure that I love the setup!






So if you are a crafter, of any craft and you live in a state that does have the wonderful resorce of a DI I very much think that you should take a few days a month to stop by and check out what they have to offer. You never know what you will find. You might just find an amazing thing that you just can't live without! Thank you again for reading my posts and enjoying my pictures!
