nostalgia

Sometimes, it’s the he-saids and she-saids that bring memories to life. Remember what he said when he rode his bike for the very first time, what she said when she picked out her first outfit, or what you said when he proposed? That warm, butterflies-in-your-tummy feeling is nostalgia, a sentimental yearning for the happiness of a former place or time. Remember, cherish, and bring to life those moments of happiness with Nostalgia, a paislee press + creashens collaboration, available at oscraps and catscrap.

I’m so excited to finally be able to share with you the kit that’s been in the works for 10 months! I truly adore the way our kit turned out – the cheery yet muted, happy yet wistful, whimsical yet sophisticated tone – what can I say? We take oxymorons to new heights.

As much as I adore the kit, what I treasure more than anything from this collaboration project is the newfound friendship we formed. It’s a little surreal for me still to be able to “chat it up” with someone that only a year ago I was admiring from afar. And perhaps even more surreal? When I found out that we grew up just miles away from each other. But never met in real life. Thank goodness for the internet and this wonderful crazy hobby we call scrapbooking. One of these days, I hope we’ll finally get to meet each other in person.

And now, without further ado, the kit:

This is just stunning!! Shen is a designer I loved when I first started scrapping last May when she was in the digi files. & You've been my fav designer since I found the O in October, so this is amazing!!

Love the colors Here!

Okay.. I'll say my fav is Sprung since that is what I got first. Though I love Anne With An E & the torn bits frames too.

Thanks for the chance!! Sorry for blabbering! hehe!

Choosing one Creashens product is as difficult as choosing just one of your products for a favorits, but that's what the contest calls for, so I choose: Smitten (love the soft colors and beautiful elements and papers).

This collab is rockin'! Thanks for the opportunity to win!

The cutest Creashens product I could find, the one I most love is "Torn Bits Element Pack 3" (but to be honest, I love the entire TBEP series and would write that if we were allowed more than one loved item) so there ya go.
