I’m on a new design team!

What fantastic news I have to share! I recently submitted my application for a design team position to a great scrapbook site called Sketchabilities. Yesterday I received the news from Karan Gerber, the site owner, that I was selected to be on the team! I really am so excited. Karan’s sketches are such a fun style, and I can’t wait to get started working with them.

Our term starts in October. If you’re interested in seeing the whole team, here is the list of new Sketchabilities Design Team members. Yay!

Celebrating a little princess

July 30, 2011 By Janice Daquila-Pardo Leave a Comment

I was recently talking with my friend, Heather, who mentioned her daughter’s current fascination with all things princess. That sparked a crafty idea in my brain, so I made Sydnie this banner for her bedroom.

I hope my friend's daughter likes her new princess banner. 🙂

I cut the base pennant shape and the lettering on my Silhouette. Then I embossed the background to give it texture and mounted these darling Pebbles Everafter glittered patterned papers on each flag. I topped it with a scalloped strip I punched and tipped each point with a star.

I know a true princess doesn’t need to be reminded of her status, but it doesn’t hurt to remind her subjects. 😉

Happy Lucy Day!

Today we are celebrating Lucy Daquila-Pardo Day! I can hardly believe it’s finally here. All the preparation…all the anticipation…and now the day is speeding along. You really need to slow down and cherish days like these. 🙂

Our furrbaby, Lucy, is Miss July 18th in the Cat Fancy 2011 year-in-a-box calendar. Yeah, she’s kind of a big deal.
