Tuesday is here again and that means new digital scrapbooking designs are released at Two Peas in a Bucket. This week I released a gorgeous new edition of Formal Affair.
This kit comes with 10 beautiful papers, 1 alpha, 6 swirl stamps and 11 really awesome accessories. I LOVE the ribbon with the rhinestone accents.
I also released a funky and bright line of car papers & accessories called Beep Beep. Perfect for all your boy pages!
Whew! That is a lot of stuff! No wonder I’ve stopped sleeping so I can get enough design time in.
I’m still working on putting a Creative Team together, so let me know if you’re interested. Happy scrapping! xoxo Jen Allyson

This week’s featured blog is an awesome handmade art site with really great tutorials. I know you all will love it. Balzer Designs, a blog authored by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer, has a lot of great ideas, techniques and eye candy.
Here are a few inspiring images of the great thing’s going on over there:
Really amazing paper-crafted flower
You have to see this tutorial -- I love the whole "diamond glaze" craze
What is better than dangly hearts?!
Julie’s projects are sure are beautiful to look at. I love her unique, slightly grungy style and all the inspiring ways that she uses paper crafting products. Be sure to check it out and leave a comment letting her know you found her here.

If you’ve been here before you might notice a *slight* change. HAHA who am I kidding, a HUGE change! Yay, I love the new design and style. I designed the layout and Mr. Project worked tirelessly to make my dreams become reality.
Things have been crazy with work and work and work (I have three jobs), but hopefully with this redesign behind me, I’ll have a bit more time for projects.
For a little eye candy… here is my most favorite digi kit ever! The one I just designed!
I made this kit for the Two Peas in a Bucket 10th birthday this month. So check it out, its available for purchase on Tuesday the 10th of February. So cute!

I just got another gig! I am now designing digital scrapbooking products for two peas in a bucket. Here are some of my kits that will be coming out on tuesday:
I’ll post more kits later and there are 2 other kits that are a bit of a surprise. Carina and I have been doing a project together and before next tuesday we’ll post pictures and how-tos and best of all we’re using all the items from these other kits to make the project, so you can do it too! The kits will retail for $4.00.

Today was a great day at CHA. I saw so many great craft products and even more great ideas for projects to make with the projects. Lots of fuel for my blog. As promised, I took more pictures and I even compiled them into a top 5.
#1 My Mind’s Eye Of course my number one has to be My Mind’s Eye. Not just because I work there, but because they have truly beautiful paper. The giant tree with an owl was just gorgeous to see in person, and I loved the die-cut papers with Deena Rutter’s beautiful illustrations. And we cannot forget (cause she’ll hurt me) Carina’s beautiful Bella Bella. Love it all!
#2 Tim Holtz! (If you have watched Arrested Development, that’s even funnier) I met Tim Holtz this past year at a CKU, he’s such a great guy and a huge fan of just being creative. Everything that Tim does is with such great execution. He is so talented and I am constantly in awe of what he creates both as products and as beautiful art. I loved all the great touches in his booth like these stacked vintage suitcases.
#3 Silk Screen Machine. Provo Craft just released the YUDU — for those of you who have no idea how to pronounce that – its “You Do”. Yeah. Anyway, besides the interesting name, the product is truly amazing. I cannot wait to get my hands on this sucker and do some really awesome projects.
#4 All things cupcake. The craze that has swept the nation, is now sweeping CHA. I saw tons of very cute cupcake papers, crafts, ideas, samples, projects etc. All were so very sweet (hehe). I took a few photos and this is my favorite! A glittery decorative cupcake at the doodlebug designs booth.
#5 Cute Desks. Utilitarian desks were all over the place. We saw a great desk with a glass top and full length drawers that fit 12×12 papers. And I got a photo of this adorable green sewing desk and super fabulous (and back-supporting) padded chair. My other favorite desk had collapsable panels and a cutting mat that fit the entire top surface. I really need to get something this functional for my space.
There were so many great products at CHA, but these were 5 things that I really loved. If you went to CHA please share what you loved, I know I missed so many great things!
Oh! I almost forgot! We had some space-visitors at CHA this year and they were nice enough to pose with Me & Carina.
