Domesticated Delight Halloween Event - Giveaway #4



Those who follow me on Twitter know that almost every Wednesday night I go scrapbooking at my local scrapbook store with some friends and my sister. It’s kind of ‘mommy’s night out’ for all of us and it’s something we all look forward to! I’m just finishing up a memory book for Mando of our first year together full of pictures and mementos (I save EVERYTHING) and once I’m finished with that I’m going to start Cayden’s baby book (another one of my 4 Simple Goals). For those of you who scrapbook you know how incredibly time consuming it can be (especially if you are taking care of little ones!) and it can ALSO get very expensive once you get sucked into all the adorable paper and embellishments. I know a lot of people who LIKE scrapbooks, but simply don’t have the time or maybe lack the creativity to do it themselves. That’s why I love the pre-made scrapbook pages that many Etsy shops sell. In my search for inspiration I found Mishelle’s adorable paper crafts shop Pinky Crafts. I think a lot of people can appreciate her pre-made scrapbook pages because all you have to do is pop your own picture in and Ta-da! All done. Here’s a look at some of her fall and Halloween themed pages that I just love:

Cute and simple! I personally prefer simple streamlined looks like this one and I love the green rhinestones to add a little bling!



I think this one is my favorite! It’s a 2 page layout with spaces for 4 pictures as well as a journaling box to write down your Halloween memories! I love the Dracula and Frankenstein detailing!



This one is so fun and would be perfect for those pumpkin patch pictures! My favorite is the sparkly letters at the bottom (I may or may not have an obsession with glitter)



I think this page would rock those trick-or-treating pictures! A little bit spooky but still cute!



For you Autumn lovers like myself!



Mishelle is such a sweetheart and I just love her story of leaving the corporate world to follow her dreams! Something I hope I have the guts to do some day.

I used to work in corporate America, and was very unhappy doing so. I was spending all my time at work in a job I hated. I didn't have a real life; I was miserable. My husband and I, living in Arizona at the time, knew there had to be another way of doing things. We knew we couldn't spend our lives living for somebody or something else. Last summer, we decided to save up, quit our unfulfilling jobs and move across the country to start living our lives the way we wanted to. We moved to Oregon (where I'm from) in January of this year. We wanted to find employment that was actually fulfilling and added to our lives instead of took away from it. I had realized how important it was to celebrate life, and I had always loved crafting. I decided to put those two ideas together, and PinkyCrafts was born! My slogan is "helping you celebrate the good times in life", I love that I get to help other people do just that! This has been the best job I've ever had.

How inspiring!

Mishelle also makes other items like adorable cupcake toppers, wine glass charms, gift tags, and pre-made albums! Her prices are VERY reasonable and I just love her work! And I’m a little bit obsessed with this party pack! (Feel free to send this to me Mishelle. Just kidding. Sort of.)



So are you ready to WIN?!? Mishelle has offered the winner a CUSTOMIZED pre-made scrapbook page. She’ll choose a design and personalize it with your name, information, etc. And if you don’t have a scrapbook or want to start one you can ALWAYS pop these cute pages in a photo frame and hang it on the wall.
