Welcome to day two of our product preview. Thank you to everyone who stopped by yesterday and left a comment about how much you love Emma's Shoppe & Toy Box. You made our day!!
Today we are starting off with the Portrait Collection.
Hi it's Lisa here again, I'm so excited to be back today to share our last two collections. I have to tell you... I'm in love with portrait! I think it's because I love to celebrate special moments in my life and capture them with beautiful photos. That really is the inspiration behind Portrait, a formal collection, yet fun and casual, but at the same time can capture a wedding, a heritage photo, or a lazy day at home. (Also, once I started looking at Wedding Inspiration I was hooked, I couldn't stop, don't do it you will be at bride blogs all day) And because of my *wedding blog love* I have beautiful wedding elements in this collection that I hope you love. Our designers showed them off nicely today. I truly think the best photos are beautiful girls in white dresses or your little girl or guy in their PJ's, and Portrait can capture them both beautifully.
Our next Collection will have you packing your bag and heading out to our neighborhood, because we all want to live were the bee's and snails are that cute. You'll see, check it out.
How adorable is Neighborhood, I really want to live in that yellow house! This collection was so much fun to design. It really came together exactly how I wanted, full of spring and summer colors...with family and home at the quirky heart of it.
Thanks for coming by today. We have had a great time, we hope you have too. If you are going to CHA please stop by and say hi, if not, stop by the blog anytime and say hi. We love having you here. Our talented designers will blow you away with their tutorials and inspiration. Next week is full of their beautiful work from all four collections. You don't want to miss it. I can't wait! A big thanks to our design team and my blog & design team coordinator, Christine Middlecamp.
We want to know what your favorites are so leave a comment about what you love from each collection for a chance to win a portrait or neighborhood collection (winners choose what collection they want). We will pick two lucky winners!
I'm honestly floored by how gorgeous this entire release is!!! It's so outstanding and absolutely going to be a show fav! All of the projects by the team for the last two day are INCREDIBLE!

I thought you'd outdone yourselves with Emma's Shoppe. I think my heart actually skipped a beat when I saw PORTRAIT. O.M.G. There's not one particulae item I like better than another. The chipboard's probably one of my favorite things. Absolutely AMAZING!!!

I adore them both but Neighborhood is definitely adorable!!

WOW! I thought yesterday's post was amazing but I think you all knocked it out of the park w/ Portrait! I didn't think anything would top Emma's Shoppe but Portrait was a homerun for me! This I must have in my hands!

I loved yesterday's sneak peeks (both collections are just screaming for me to buy them), and the My Neighborhood collection is too cute as well. I really like the Friendly paper!

I love Portrait. I really like the reduced size 6x6 pads and the trims. Fabulous additions!
