MAGGIE HOLMES Photography and Scrapbooking Blog

Scrapbooking: Guest Feature

Today I am featuring a fellow scrapbooker that has also become a friend over the years as we have gotten to know each other through the industry: Debby Schuh. She is not only talented and a great teacher but a true sweetheart in every sense of the word!

She is teaching a class using my Maggie Holmes Collection for Crate Paper and the project is simply adorable!! I just love how she is using each of the elements from my product line and how she has created such a unique piece!!

If you want to learn more about Debby or find out where she is teaching this lovely class you can visit her blog here.

 

Guest Feature: Lunch Pails & Lipstick

The fabulous and ever-so-beautiful ladies behind the website lunch pails & lipstick are featuring me on their blog today! 

Every so often they do these "Real Mom" features and it sounded fun so when they asked, I said yes! Indeed I am a mom and a lot of other things too and the post gives some fun insights into what I do each day and how I balance all of it..... which is probably the question I get asked the most!

I follow the lunch pails & lipstick gals on instagram as well as their blog and I can't get enough of their beauty and fashion tips! IN addition they are moms like me which means that they share lots of fun things to do with the kiddos as well!! It's the perfect little pick me up each day for the modern mommy!

As part of my feature I wanted to share a little bit of my most recent project with you so I'm giving away a few things from my Maggie Holmes scrapbooking collection!

Scrapbooking: Maggie Holmes Crate Paper Collection at 2Peas!

My products were all stocked at the scrapbooking site 2peasinabucket and I wanted to give you a heads up because they are selling out fast!

The chunky gold glitter alpha is already sold out and so is the 12x12 paper pad.

Here is a link to my whole collection over there:

Maggie Holmes Collection at 2Peas

Also some inspiration to get you thinking about how you can use the products:

And here's another that shows how lots of my products can be used for boy layouts and projects as well. In fact someone at the show said that they loved how the back side of every paper could be used for either boy or girl pages! So there you have it! Better get two of each paper so you can use both sides! :)

Scrapbooking: Mini Album

Here is the finished mini album that I created with my new line of products!

I used the basic mini album set that includes the album and the basic ledger/grid/music papers. Then I also used the album supplement which has all of the more colorful and decorative pieces that coordinate with the rest of the collection.

I'm sharing a large shot of each page so you can see all the little details.... Lots of photos below! Enjoy!

I used ALL of the pieces in the album kit and the album supplement which makes for a nice chunky album.... just how I like it!!

Let me know if you have any questions about the album. The products are shipping SOON!! Yay!!

 

Giveaway Winners!!

THANK YOU to all of you for your support and sweet comments! I was blown away by how amazingly kind you all are and for the additional love and support you continue to post on the blog and social media!!! It still feels a bit like a dream but you all are definitely making it seem more real!!! 

I truly poured my heart and soul into this collection and there is a lot of nervousness involved because you don't know exactly how it will be received. I am over the top excited and also humbled at the same time by what a great response you all have given it. It means so much because each piece from the line is like a part of me!! Now I can't wait to get the products into YOUR hands so I can be inspired by what you all do with it!!! I am told it will start shipping in February!!!

Tomorrow I am off to CHA!! I will be posting from the show and sharing lots of the fun with you, especially on instagram!

Here are a couple of cards I created with the line to display in my booth at the show.

 

I also created a mini album and will post that soon too!!

Thank you again!!!!!!!!!!!!! xoxoxoxo
