Fruity Friday at Paper House

A couple weeks ago, someone had the idea to do something different and fun on Fridays during the summer. We work hard all week, why not? So we all submitted ideas on slips of paper, and we randomly pick one on Mondays.

The first Friday, last week, was "Makeover Day". Guy in customer service came dressed in a suit and tie! I wish I'd gotten a picture!

Today was "Fruity Friday". I was planning to make a Carmen Miranda-type headdress with a fruit basket, but it just didn't come out right. So, I brought in the basket to decorate the table full of fruity goodies! Doesn't that fruit look real?

Mmmmmmmm....! Fresh fruit, fruit-flavored candies and lollipops, and a cherry pie! The note on the pie tells us that there is ice cream in the freezer to go with it! What breaks up a long Friday afternoon better than a sugar rush?

Have a great weekend everyone!

Are you ready for Summer??

I just read that today is National Picnic Day! How could I have NOT known this?? Well, I'll be having a picnic in a park tomorrow to celebrate Father's Day with the fam. Have a great weekend!

Ready or not, Summer is coming in THREE DAYS! Forget the science involved and get on with the bbq's, campfires, and S'Mores-making. Take a hike, go kayaking, or get soaked at a water park.

Wherever you go, whatever you do, do it safely!

You have the opportunity to learn from my mistakes with these tips:

- Remember the spf30 (for me it's closer to 80). Nothing kills the fun more than a nasty sunburn! I once got second-degree sunburn just before heading to Texas for a wedding in August. If you've ever been in Texas in August, you're covering your mouth and making the, "Oooooooowwwww" sound right now. Yeah.

- Definitely, no matter what, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT forget the ICE CREAM!! Yum!

Please share your summer fun tips with us. Enjoy!

Seeing Stars (and Stripes)!

The 4th of July is coming!! The 4th of July is coming! Parades and picnics and fireworks... bring it on! What fun will you be having for the 4th? Where's your fave place to go for fireworks? I'd love to sit on the roof, but I don't think my landlord would appreciate that.

Look for these awesomely patriotic cards, magnets & stickers from Paper House Productions in your local gift and stationery shops!


Please, let's not forget those who have fought and those who are still fighting for our freedom to enjoy parades, picnics and fireworks. Paper House Productions salutes our military members and their families for their sacrifices.

Enjoy the holiday with your families and friends. Please be safe always in all ways!

Fishing Fun

Summer is the perfect time for Fishing Fun, and you'll have everything you need to scrapbook your family memories with Paper House's ever-popular Fishing Collection! Complete with 12 x 12" Papers, Cardstock Stickers, and Mini Cut-Outs, it'll be hard to let a single moment be the "one that got away!"

In the full page layout above, we mounted two of our favorite summer photos onto moss green cardstock before arranging them onto the Gone Fishin' Collage Paper (P-0403E). The title from the Gone Fishin' Cardstock Sticker, along with fish & sign stickers, gave us the perfect accents for this page, while the fishing pole border from the Cardstock fit great along the side of the page. We topped it all off with a few Mini Cut-Outs from the Collection for a quick and easy project that will help us remember this family fun forever!

Since it's introduction at CHA Winter 2009, Paper House's Fishing Collection has been one of our top selling scrapbooking collections, and is a perfect theme to keep in your store this summer! To see all of our complete collections, just check out our website today!
