Calling All Divas!

How fun is this album? I created this true one of a kind (and by one of a kind I mean I don't have this paper since I only had a small amount of it so don't even ask) to donate as a door prize for the upcoming "Hot Mammas" fundraiser for the American Cancer Society that is taking place in Poughkeepsie at the Elizabeth Boutique (1 Davis Ave) on April 25th. My buddy Melissa will be
there with mini-photo shoots. Visit her blog http://surprisephotography.com/blog/?p=508

for details.

I do have this shape album available for order.... contact me for details. It's fun and you don't have to commit to a specific name!

Quick Ordering Now Available!

If you look at the sidebar on my blog you will see that I can now accept orders directly on my blog for my most popular items. Through Paypal, an order can be quickly placed and payment can be made. Upon checkout, you will be able to provide me with all the necessary details for me to quickly and easily fill your order. This should help streamline the process.

Of course I still want to communicate with all of my clients so you can always email me with a question before placing your order.

Happy Shopping!

Lunch Box Blitz!!!

Julia's lunch box caused quite a stir and I was bombarded with some orders! As you can see, I created Emily and Allie in similar styles. The lunch boxes are very adaptable to any age. Allie is 4, Emily is 9, and Julia is also 9.

Contact me for ordering details.

And not just for girls either... here's one for a school teacher who happens to have a son. The end of the school year is coming so order now!

Am I Seeing Things?

Or are these Wall Letters? In 2007 & 2008, wall letters were my most popular items but then the orders stopped coming in and I moved on (to name albums mostly). Imagine my surprise when a local mom saw my wall letter photos on Facebook and decided that they were just right for her kids. Once I got my hands on them again I remembered why they are my favorite items to make!

I'm always happy to add new clients to my midst and this one is a NEW MOMMY too. Audra is her newest little sweetheart and she also asked me to do letter for 2 of her other kids too. Audra and Leah will be sharing a room at some point so the letters were done in the same patterns but each has its own unique decorations.

I had fun with Cole's letters since I got to use my favorite color scheme for boy letters! She loved Hank's letters from last year (she checked out my website to see samples www.jeunegirl.com) and I'm glad she did! There are always tons of ideas there!

For My Wonderful Niece

My niece is making her communion this year (holy cow! time flies by!) so my sister in law said she'd love a lunch box and all she told me was that it had to be pink! I took a little liberty
by adding the green but I love this color combo! Cheryl, let me know if you like it :)
Being a girly-girl I hope Julia uses this for her hair stuff and other cutesy things!

I have had inquiries on these items and yes, they are available for custom orders! I can also make them with an added mini-album. Contact me for details!

Coming Up for Air!

You guys have been keeping me super busy and I'm happy to report that these first three months of '09 have been very good for me! And I feel challenged everytime with the new and exciting projects I've been doing. I hope this continues for the rest of the year.

For some reason, last week I had a lull in the action. I'm waiting for some albums to be shipped to me and I had to wait to start some wall letters since I sent my "associate" (aka husband) to the store to get the letters but he wasn't able to do it for 2 days (not totally his fault... he had to take my car in for a new bumper... thanks to the lady that rear ended me a few weeks ago). I did get all the letters yesterday so stay tuned for those to be unveiled in the next few days. I'm loving how they are turning out so far!

Anyway, I had some time to hit the HUGE STACK of photos that have been collecting dust. I am completely out of order... I am just scrapping photos that I love at this point, regardless of the time of year or theme. I haven't even begun to look at my Christmas prints!

More Ideas for Moms & Grandmas

How about a sweet little mini album? This is a 6x6 sized album. I also have 8x8 available. These are just the right size. They are perfect not only for grandmas and moms but for specific events (1st birthday, wedding, Halloween, Christmas, vacation... basically anything you want to keep together in one place.)

This album is going to be used as a memorial for the family of one of my longest lasting clients I hope they can fill this with wonderful memories of their grandma.

Another Set of Pages

Recently, I documented the vacation photos for a new client. I had just finished making pages for a vacation cruise and then got to work with these fabulous New Mexico pictures. I'm so jealous of the wonderful trips these ladies have been on recently... reminds me to start planning my own trip this year!

Mini-Albums, Now Available in 8x8!!

I've made my first 8x8 mini-album for one of my "frequent flyers". Tyler will be celebrating his first birthday in April so his mother wanted an album to celebrate the big day. Her timing was perfect because I just ordered more chipboard for mini albums and I had a few 8x8 pieces so now I can make 6x6 and 8x8 albums. Contact me for details.

I was excited to work on this album also because Jen (Tyler's mom) wanted me to use some bold colors and I just love this Cosmo Cricket line of paper.

Also, check back this week for my Mother's Day Deals!

Pages for My First Client

I've been making pages for Jen in California for a well over a year now. We have a great relationship. I think I'm even in her snapfish account as her backup mailing address... she just orders from them and sends them right to me. I was thrilled to do her pregnancy pages this time. I probably could have used some more PINK but I did try to hold myself back (Jen had a houseful of boys until her little girl was born)
