Meet Memento

Ok Paperlifers we are gonna change things up a bit this week and introduce you to some classy cute must have items for your upcoming papercrafting season! This cute lady is Terri Johnson owner of Memento! She is an etsy girl and loves her take on The Paperlife through making products to help you organize and feel stylin while working in your own Paperlife. Here is Terri's story and an intrduction to her beautiful products. Take it away Terri:


Hi, my name is Terri and I am a WAHM with a 15 month old son Maverick and a 3 year old daughter Liberty. I have been married for 13 years to Ron, my best friend & the greatest husband and father. I am very blessed to have such an amazing partner for this journey called life, marriage and parenting. He is very supportive of me and my business; which is my third child Memento! Who just happened to come along while I was pregnant with my son.
Memento is the personalized gifts & embroidery business I created. Talk about a crazy time to start a business but I have heard from many other fellow moms it’s what us mompreneurs do!Memento was launched in 2007, with a desire to build a business that combined my creative vision and entrepreneurial talents; to produce personalized and made-to-order products. My vision was to offer products that represent a person's legacy, individual taste, or, makes a unique statement about an individual's spirit and character. I have spent lots of time trying to find the perfect gift that represents the individual that I am giving it to. It isn’t always the easiest task. When I created Memento I wanted to offer these types of gifts. Combining the unique items I have found with embroidery and monogramming I help create the perfect customized item for that special person or event.

Memento creates a timeless reminder of a special moment, person, place or time. It's a gift that's fun and creates smiles and laughter. It also represents a special sentiment or reminder that conjures up memories or tears. Most importantly, I want to offer products that make gift giving easy. I believe that our selection of products, with your personalized touch, offer your friends and loved ones a gift that is as unique and special as they are. From all of this, Memento was launched. And by the way, if you love our products, the greatest compliment you can pay us is to tell all of your friends, family and co-workers about Memento!
Here is our etsy shop and where you can find us on the web:

Website: http://www.shopmemento.com/
Etsy Shop: http://shopmemento.etsy.com/
Blog: http://www.shopmemento.blogspot.com/


And now for My Paperlife Spotlight Giveaway to you:

I’m a detail girl down to the littlest details. Sometimes that is a blessing when you area creative person and sometimes a curse. When I scrapbook a beach vacation I pull out every color of blue paper I have and hold my ocean pictures up to all the blues so I can pick the perfect one! When I scrapbook with friends they get multiple pages and layouts done and poor Terri might get 2 pages done if it’s a good day. I am so behind at the moment on both of my children’s scrapbooks…behind is an understatement. The true status, photos have been taken and not sorted, some not even ordered! I have kept all the things that would be perfect to eventually go in their books and written down all the memorable moments. So thankfully, I am organized and I have the details now to just do the work! When I use to go to a friend’s house or to a scrapbook class I would just load up my supplies in a box. Now, I have the perfect must have way to carry your supplies from one room to another or to take to a friends house. A collapsible market tote basket. They are open on top so you can stack them up and fill them with all kinds of papers, punches, stickers and everything else you need to make the perfect layout. I have customers that do weekends at a cabin with all their girlfriends and they carry their supplies in one market tote and then have one as their work in progress tote.

Another thing that I find very useful and helpful when I am creating is an apron with POCKETS! Not only do they keep the messy goodness off your clothes but, you always have things that you put down and wonder where are they when scrapping. I love keeping a pen, pencil, eraser and scissors and pins (if I am sewing) in my apron pockets. This way when I am sewing, Embroidering, making a card or layout I have exactly what I need right there on me. And when you are feeling creative and want to be inspired you have to wear an apron that is cute and sets the mood. I created these beautiful aprons for a customer and decided I would branch out and make some more for people who live a creative life.

I am happy to giveaway this week, in honor of my Paperlife spotlight, to a creative Paperlife reader a Personalized Market Tote Basket & Custom Apron!
Thank you Terri, what a generous thing to give from your paperlife. I just love all of Terri's adorable items in her etsy shop be sure to check that out after you leave your comment here to get in on this HUGE giveaway of hers this week.

And that is not all here is a fun look inside where Terri lives and creates her Paperlife. It is still in progress but, wow I am lovin it so far:




So fun Terri to get a look inside where your Paperlife happens and by the way, love The Paperlife blue walls, great color choice LOL!!! I know, I know, who am I kidding that is actually Memento blue right? Still beautiful color choice.

Ok so, Paperlifers pretty awesome spotlight and giveaway again this week huh? As always, leave Terri a comment here on her Paperlife and we will draw CST midnight Sunday for both a Memento Tote and adorable apron.

On another note, we will be officially moved to the new site next week, our permanent home http://www.thepaperlife.com/ . And man do we have fun stuff planned there. GO now and here a podcast by me on what exactly we are about and doing there. Also, at the top under the critique boutique, the first product critique video is up and its a fun one watch that! And, please please leave me a comment letting me know you were there and what you think, afterall I want it to be your Paperlife home on the web as well. Thanks so much for all the support everybody! This is about you and I couldn't do any of this without you! So until later this week, we'll see you at The Paperlife and be sure to go make a beautiful mess of your Paperlife!!!!

Hugs,

Amy

Here's More for Your Weekend from Elle


















Wow aren't these sooo fun!!! A mini album this Halloween out of these is a must for me. I am thinking my bind-it-all and those journal spots will be a spooky good little Halloween book! Thanks Elle and Elle's Studio for sharing everything with us this week and especially for a super generous double giveaway.......that's right leave Elle a comment on what you like best and you get in on the entire Halloween collection giveaway and the entire Christmas collection giveaway! Doesn't get much better than that these days!! I will be drawing the winners Sunday midnight CST as always so get your comment in before then!!
Elle was also kind enough answer some questions you have had for her here they are very interesting and good questions I must say you Paperlifers:
Do you scrap in mostly vintage style?
I think of my style as mixed – I love vintage items and incorporating them into layouts, but I also love all the new stuff, too!

Do you print your stuff at home or are they sent out to be printed? Where do you manufacture create your products? ie do you have a home office, a physical store/building?
We get everything printed at a local print shop that lets us work with them one-on-one. Quality and colors are very important to us! We then cut and packaged everything in our little studio/workplace. We do not have a retail store front.

What type of printer and program do you use?
We use a digital printer at our local print shop – I’m not sure of the exact name of it… sorry! And, for all our designing we use Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.

Whats your best organizational tip?
Hmm… this is a hard one because I’m not very organized when it comes to scrapbooking! I guess the best tip would be that it is okay to put unfinished projects away. I used to think you had to leave them out until they were complete – but that just turned into a disaster! So, I started putting them away when I couldn’t go any further on a project and found that that little break from the project helps you so much more and gives you a fresh, new perspective when you pull it out again! I’ve been able to get a lot more done and finished by doing this!

Thanks again Elle for being in the spotlight this week we have loved getting to know you and your Paperlife. If you want to learn more about Elle and Elle's Studio and to see all of the yummy new stuff she has out for the Holidays just scroll down to the previous post and read her spotlight there!

Amy

Elle's Studio is rockin The Paperlife and the Holidays this Year!!!








OK you Paperlifers, have I got a treat for you this week! Its Elle from Elle's Studio. One of my fave manufacturers. What you see above is examples from her creative Paperlife. I love them all but that summer album is just stunning! Her stuff is just so clean and classy, pretty much timeless and, to cute to boot! I am a big fan. You have probably seen her stuff used by the fabulous Ali Edwards and I know I am getting these from Elle for my Ali inspired December Daily this year:

You can check Ali's project out here: http://aliedwards.typepad.com/_a_/december-daily-album-2008.html How perfect these daily tags be? And when I saw what she has done for this Halloween and Christmas, I called her right up and begged her to be in the spotlight so I could share her with you all. She graciously agreed and went above and beyond to do it ........wait till you see her giveaway!(hang on that will be after you get to know this cool lady) So, I will step back and share Elle's Paperlife and let you get to know this cool lady behind the fabulous scrapbook company Elle's Studio!

Elle introduce us and tell us how Elle's Studio came into existence?

Hello! I’m Elle from Elle’s Studio, LLC. I started Elle’s Studio in early 2007 when I couldn’t find the things I was looking for at our local scrapbook store. I had been a Graphic Designer for quite awhile so I turned to my computer to create the things I needed. My friends started asking where I got them and after making tags for them and family they encouraged me to start selling them!

We are really excited about the future of Elle’s Studio and are really focusing on inspiration! We’ve added a new section to our site called “Projects” and have some fun things in store that will be coming soon! We are also planning on putting together a design team for 2010. We’ll be making an announcement about this in October!

Our home on the web is located here http://www.shopellesstudio.com/ and we love to have you visit and get inspiration from us anytime as well as shop our awesome products!

Ok Elle, so where you get your inspiration for these fabulous treasures you make?

Inspiration seems to be everywhere now days! I love reading all the scrapbooking blogs out there and seeing everyone’s scrapbooking creations! Flickr is a constant source of eye candy. Vintage books and current magazines are a huge favorite, too! I also love reading style blogs like Creature Comforts, Decor8, and Modish. I try to get through my blog list at least once a week to see what is new out there, but my list is getting longer and longer so it’s getting harder to keep up! Here is a list of my regular inspirational haunts:

Flickr http://www.flickr.com/
Creature Comforts http://www.creaturecomforts.typepad.com/
Decor8 http://decor8blog.com/
Modish http://www.modish.typepad.com/

Ok so we at The Paperlife want to know a little about how you design or come up with your designs for Elle.

I usually start with thinking of a subject or theme and brainstorm on it for a couple of days. Then, I sketch it out on paper and transfer it to a digital design on the computer. The design usually goes through a ton of revisions before it is finalized.

Elle inquiring minds want to know what are your top 3 favorite products from Elle's Studio and why?

Since Christmas is my favorite time of the year, I’ll have to go with items from our new holiday line… but it’s hard to narrow it down to just three :) I think our Gingerbread Dress-Up Doll is going to get a ton of use for making gift tags and cards from me this year. I also can’t wait to create a December mini with our number cut outs! And, I’m really in love with vintage things right now, so the Vintage Snowflake Circles are a big favorite, too! Here are pictures of my favorites and links to where you can get them:

Gingerbread dress up doll http://www.shopellesstudio.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=1&products_id=314
Number cut outs http://www.shopellesstudio.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=1&products_id=308

Vintage snowflakes http://www.shopellesstudio.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=1&products_id=307


So Elle do you still scrap? and if so tell us a little about that like who do you scrap? where do you scrap? why do you scrap?

I do! I don’t have any kids, but I do have a dog, which I consider my baby :) A lot of my scrapbooking ends up being about her or my family (mom, dad, sister and her husband). I tend to scrapbook moments that have memories that I never want to forget. I love looking back at the pages and being able to fall right back into that moment. We recently did a mini book workshop for summer at our blog and I’m loving all the memories it holds! I can’t wait to start on one for the holiday season! I’m a really, REALLY messy scrapbooker! I love spreading everything out and diving in, so my scrapbooking tends to be in large chunks of time. I’ll usually scrapbook for 2 to 4 days straight and then put everything away. I try to bring it all back out again every two to three weeks and get a couple pages done each time. Every time I pull it back out I find something new and end up getting inspired all over again!

Right now I’m working on my Christmas cards! Last year I received some homemade ones and they meant so much to me. So, this year I have challenged myself to make all my own cards! Getting an early start on this project was really important since the holiday season gets so busy!
(The sampling of Elle's work is at the top of the post. It should be here but, blogger decided to be difficult and won't let me move them! Sorry about that.)
See more of Elle's work on her blog located here:
Blog: http://ellesstudio.blogspot.com/
and link directly to that fun summer album I am totally in love with here:
Summer documented: http://shopellesstudio.com/summer2009.php
Thanks for sharing, I just love that you enjoy this hobby as much as the customers you design the products for!

Now on to Elle's fantastic giveaway for you:

We have two giveaways for the Paperlife readers! A Christmas set and a Halloween set!! So we will have not one but two winners this week. How does that sound?? Here are pictures of both of the collections and you can always go to the Elle's Studio site to get better individual looks at the pieces.



Elle, these are just a must have for Halloween and Christmas "graphically, cute, and classic" I say and so versatile, all of the pieces can be used to accent many lines of paper on the market because the are so classic! Thank you so much for sharing your Paperlife with all of us. It is so fun to meet the people behind our favorite products and see that you truly live a Paperlife too! I hope you are rested up because, I have a feeling you are gonna be busy filling orders with all of this yummy stuff this holiday season! keep up the good work my friend you knocked it out of the park for us this release!!


OK so you want one of these I know, I know!! Well leave your comment here about your favorite item from the Elle's Studio release, and go ahead and ask Elle a question you might have about her Paperlife. Maybe we can get her to answer some this weekend. And like every other week here at The Paperlife, we will be drawing for the two giveaways (how cool is that!) at Midnight CST Sunday night so get it in before then. And spread the word, there are 2 giveaways going maybe you and a friend you send here will both win!


Thanks everybody, hope your Labor Day was fun and relaxing. It was here and I got all of my spring bulbs planted so, I am hoping for a beautiful Spring next year (if I planted them deep enough). Until we talk again this weekend, do what I am doing this week for sure, and go make a beautiful mess of your Paperlife!!

Hugs,


Amy

Jen From Label Tulip is back

That's right even more from this talented lady! These are just 3 fun questions I asked Jen to get to know her a little better read on and enjoy more of her Paperlife! The table story is priceless. Love it!

Jen where do you scrap and what would your dream studio look like?

I scrap on my dining room table that is over 150 years old! The table actually holds a lot of history and memories in itself, it's a really cool story! As a part of my family, the table once floated from our dining room to our family room in the 1970's during a terrible flood that we endured in Atlanta. To this day, you can still find Georgia Red Clay mud in the cracks and crevices of the table. Before I was lucky enough to possess the table, it was my grandmother's and her grandmother's as well going all the way back to the Jefferson's. My great great great (who knows how many greats!) grandfather was Joseph Jefferson, a famous stage actor of the 1800's. Joseph was a cousin of Thomas so I am distantly related to Thomas Jefferson and am extremely proud to be in Joseph's family, he was an amazing actor. The table was once owned by his children I believe. Needless to say, it's been all over and around! It is currently covered with my scrapping stuff.
My "dream studio", oh, yes! I do dream of one day having my own crafting room, but it won't be in this 3/2 house that we live in currently! I'd love a room all to myself with lots of shelves and table space that wrapped all the way around the room. That way I'd have instant access to all my die cut devices, paper trimmer, heating tools, etc...My room would have "stations"; the embossing/glitter station; die cut station; scrapping station; paint station; and definitely a dedicated computer so I could get more involved with digital scrapping!

So, who are the papercrafters that you love?

I'm not one that is a fan of certain paper artists, I tend to be an admirer of almost everything I see. I do love a few particular authors including Margot Potter (The Impatient Crafter) -- I love how she can do anything with paper! I also love Lain Ehman's work and used to listen to her Podcasts all the time (she recently started her own website, Ella Publishing) and have participated in her Layout A Day (LOAD) project that she facilitates twice a year. And I'm not just saying this, but I think our Design Team, the Tulip Girls, are extraordinary artists! Their designs are so inspiring and I can't wait to work with them, they are the greatest bunch of gals.

OK, Jen if you could only have 5 scrap products other that your trimmer and adhesive what would they be?

1. Flowers -- preferably Prima of course! I love flowers and use them on almost every page and project
2. Ink pad -- if I can only pick one color, I guess brown. I love to use the ink pads to distress my work, especially the edges of cards. Ink adds such a great layer of texture and mystery.
3. Basic Grey Patterned Paper -- they make the best, so if you could only hand me one sheet, I know no matter which sheet it was, I could do something with it! If I get a second choice, definitely Graphic 45.
4. Thickers -- who CAN'T live without these?!
5. Cutter Bee Scissors -- you know, the yellow ones? They are the best scissors I have used and are great for cutting out images from patterned paper.

What is the best papercrafting advice you could give to fellow scrappers?

Create from your heart and you'll always have a gorgeous and treasured final result. Even if it only means something to you, that's what is important.

and here is a sweet Mother's day card from Jen:

And look at this adorable birdhouse she did.....love the flowers on the roof:


Now BIG HINT coming here from Jen and Label Tulip, a little birdie told me it might be a REALLY good idea to subscribe to the Label Tulip newsletter...especially if you're interested in the Design Team! Act fast, as their newsletter is sent out at 6pm PST on 9/5 (tomorrow) also I heard a rumor that you can get an exclusive Paperlife sneak, sneak peak of the Label Tulip September kit here sometime today or tomorrow so make sure you check back for that golden nugget of exclusive information right here on The Paperlife!

Jen, thanks so much for sharing your paperlife with us and for following your dream so we can all benefit from your wonderful future Label Tulips kits. Your story is an inspiration for our hearts and your future with Label Tulip is inspiration for our creative souls.


Ok paperlifer's if you haven't already leave your comment for the entire September Label Tulip kit Jen designed. Its her debut kit don't miss it. You have until Sunday midnight CST and I will announce the lucky winner here on Monday! And remember we do this every week so come back for next weeks inspiring paperlifer and their awesome giveaway. Its a big one too!
