Now that the word is out and I can talk openly about The Girls' Paperie I feel like celebrating! I mean really...It has been a hard few months keeping this secret...Now that I have shared it and YOU have all been so excited along with me I think I want to give you another sneak peak and hey why not...Give some away...What {fun} is it hoarding it? I don't know about you but for me it is always more {fun} sharing my excitement for creating with friends...
Here's what I have been doing with my Paper Girl Line...
what is a celebration without decorations? I have been sewing yards and yards of pennants...I plan to string them everywhere in my booth at CHA...So if your not able to attend we will have some {FUN} before I leave...
Give me some ideas of what YOU would do if YOU had some Paper Girl in your hot little hands...
I don't have much...but I am willing to share!
Monday I will come back and one of you will randomly be picked and I will send you some of The Girls' Paperie...
Here's to a weekend of {FUN}...I will be creating like a mad women so that on Monday I have more to share...
Happy Friday! Happy weekend!
Kiss kiss

I love polka dots and flowers. I am an avid cardmaker and would incorporate your papers into my creation of spring cards. And since it is -5 degrees here today, any reason to think of spring will help get me through the day. And I'm curious about the mini ultra sewing machine in one of your pics ... does it do more than straight stitching? I'm looking for a small sewing machine that does decorative stitching that I can use on my cards. Have a TERRIFIC weekend, my dear, and the very best of luck in your new venture.

If I were decorating your CHA book, I'd make a garden of hundreds of pretty spring (paper) flowers!!!!
But if I had it for myself, I'd probably make a pretty bouquet of flowers as a centerpiece for my craft or dining room table!

Oh the possibilities are endless with all of the great colors you have shown us so far! I have two girls so your new line is great for lots of scrapbook pages for them. In fact, it is perfect for our Christmas card photos and outtakes. I can also imagine a new canvas creation...

Vintage Cards and tags, vintage layouts with black and white photos, perhaps a banner...i cannot wait to see these IRL!
Posted by: Shelly Berg | January 08, 2010 at 09:54 AM
I would go nuts with making contemporary/vintage layouts and alter some art with it. It's beautiful. I love it. Can't wait until it's out on the market to buy. Good luck with your new line. I think it will do fabulous out there. It's right along with where the trend is heading I believe.

Ooo, it's so pretty! I have pictures of my sister and me from when we were little, and this would be perfect for those!

Posted by: Etta | January 08, 2010 at 09:54 AM

Mmmmmmm - got to have these papers to make some girlie-girl 'birthday' and 'thinking of you' cards. Plus, I think some shabby paper roses would be perfect for accents on layouts!
Posted by: trae flesher | January 08, 2010 at 09:55 AM
My little sister has just had a much longed for beautiful baby girl, these papers would be the perfect way to showcase our new family miracle. Gorgeous!
Posted by: Pauline | January 08, 2010 at 09:56 AM
Margie,
You go girl! I love just looking at those adorable prints and fab girlie colors. I think I would use them to scrap my new grandbabes.
Where did you get that sewing machine? Sooo fun.
Good luck in your new adventure!
Posted by: Kathy | January 08, 2010 at 09:57 AM
i have been holding off...(not sure why) to make an album all about ME!!! :) and the paper just looks sooo girlie and right up my alley!
Posted by: annette abrahamson | January 08, 2010 at 09:57 AM
Margie - congratulations!
I have some serious scrapbooking weekends coming up - and boy would my friends and I have an enormous amount of fun digging in and playing with your beautiful new line!
Thanks for the opportunity!

Nothing says FUN spring girlie- girl decorations than your awesome colors of "stuff". Would be very honored to make decorations for my house and work using your cool line. Good luck @ CHA but you won't need it. You will do sooooooo well there.
Posted by: Lila | January 08, 2010 at 09:58 AM
OK! So the very first thing I see doing with your gorgeous paper is putting some of it in the album being created for my sweet little niece that should be born any day now! And maybe a big paper machie letter S for her nursery!
Posted by: Sarah | January 08, 2010 at 09:58 AM
What would I do with it??? After drooling all over the yummy papers and textures I am sure I would SCRAP with it. I have girls, so always able to use this pretty paper for those layouts, I am making cards, so this works for that too AND I saw a paper wreath I MUST have on my door this SPRING and these papers would be perfect for that too - so sad you don't have "that much" hahaha:) Sure hope you know where to get more cause we may just buy it all up if we don't win it! SO excited for you girl!!
Posted by: Gail Connor | January 08, 2010 at 09:59 AM
i would create some layouts and i would also create some mini books to donate to the local children's hospital :)
