our theme is "Mist-er Fix-it", and we encourage masculine pages, anything using tools (crafty, or around-the-house, or whatev!), mists, water, summer, father's day, incorporate our June printables or any Fancy Pants Designs products, or some other fun interpretation of our theme for your projects.  remember, your creations don't have to be NEW, but we need to see your inspiration, and you need to link back to the Paper Issues blog (be sure to edit your old posts to qualify!).  wanna see what you can win?  ALL OF THIS!  :)

i had the pleasure of working with the new Making Waves collection for my project, but on the 12x12 scale...  here's what i created - a summery, masculine-inspired page (not my usual colour scheme!):

i added in some gold bits from the Fancy Pants Flutter collection and the "almost" alphas and dymo are from my stash, but errthang else is from Making Waves!  i am ESPECIALLY digging the shipping tags and i've got a card in the works using this fun collection.

CLICK HERE to see what the rest of the Creative Team did to inspire you to play along with this issue!  be sure to like Fancy Pants Designs on Facebook, and a huge thanks to them for sponsoring!

What the #@!$%& - new Paper Issues link party!

hey there, chickens!  there's a new flair party in town, and Paper Issues knows where it's at!  you're invited!

our theme is "What the #@!$%&" and there is SO much you can do with it!  punctuation, typewriter keys, typed journaling, scripty writing, numbers, exclamation (WOW! SHEESH! YIKES!), money, texty abbreviations (LOL, WTF, BRB, etc...) - you catch my drift, right?  :)  or use Feed Your Craft product on your page.  link up and be sure to link back to Paper Issues and you might win!  you might also be featured on our Facebook page, or our Instagram feed, or on the Paper Issues blog as one of our Fan Featured Friday friends!

this issue is sponsored by Feed Your Craft, who are all about awesome flair, and there are 3 packs of flair from their shop up for grabs for the winner of this issue!  we also have a discount code for you - use code PAPERISSUES15 now through 12/31 to save 15% off your entire order!  they have LOADS of fun stuff, including this neutral ampersand (of which i would like 100 more!) and book text, which is perfect for anything!

i combined some of the Teresa Collins "Something Wonderful" elements (including the title from the pack!), some goodies from my December Swag Bag, Jillibean Soup enamel stars, some Fancy Pants ephemera goodness and my trusty Dymo label maker. 

those apples?  yeah, they were MAILED TO ME.  by my bestie, Kristy, who hand-picked them in Michigan when Honeycrisp season started last year.  when i opened this huge box to find apples inside, i cried like a baby.  love you, girl.  like whoa!

so, link up!  join in the fun!  your projects can be new or old, but you must link to us!  CLICK HERE to check out the Paper Issues "What the #@!$%&" linky party and see what the rest of the awesome Creative Team did with this one...  we LOVED using the Feed Your Craft flair, and we know one lucky winner's going to be loving it, too!

we're PITCH PERFECT with Lawn Fawn at Paper Issues!

new link party at Paper Issues!

the theme for this link party at Paper Issues is "Pitch Perfect"...  there's SO much fun to be had with this theme!  music, chorus, camping (pitching tents!), baseball, what you consider perfection, a perfect day, a sales pitch/commercial, quotes from the movie, throwing something, pitching a FIT/tantrum, etc...  LOADS of room for interpretation!

we are sponsored by the fabulous Lawn Fawn, so we Paper Issues girls had some fun working with one of their new stamp sets, "Stay Tuned", which happens to be the prize that's up for grabs, too!  so you can also link up any project using Lawn Fawn products!

so...  my hubbin and i have a band (although we've been on hiatus for a while), and i jumped at the chance to do a music layout using a particularly hipster-looking photo that i took in Seattle last spring.  here's my page:

and there is a TON of Paper Issues product on there.  a TON.  my papers, the vellum, the little chevrons, the hipboard (chipboard), the little title and all kinds of awesomeness from various Swag Bags. 

zoom!

stars!  i totally have a thing for stars.  and i can't get enough of the Doodlebug Sprinkles Vellum.

one more zoom!  this is how our music has been described - consider this our "genre"...

be sure to "like" our awesome sponsor on Facebook by CLICKING HERE, and drop by their blog for loads of inspiration...  oh, and FYI, they have a really fun YouTube channel and are always sharing fun, new ideas, so check it out!  here's the stamp set!
