Introducing our lovely August guest designer...

Anyone else feel that August just snuck right up? I honestly was shocked this morning sitting down at my desk looking at my to do list and realising it was the 1st of August today and the summer is half over already! But the 1st also means its time to introduce our next amazing and talented guest designer... so please welcome the wonderful Lucia Barabas!



+ + + + + + + + + + + + +

Hello everyone!

My name is Lucia and I’m beyond excited to be guest designing for the wonderful MeiLi Paperie!

I am a dream follower, pastel colors lover, crafter and graphic designer. My days are filled with

designing brand identities, blogs, sometimes patterns, crafting and scrapbooking and in between

giving cuddles to my bunny and kitty : )

My work takes almost all of my time, but if I manage to find some spare time, I love to read, hang

out with friends or enjoy a beautiful sunset with a glass of wine in my hand. : )

Fancy Pants: Perfect Wedding Gift

Happy weekend to all! We have a special treat to bring you today! We are excited to have Jodi Sanford owner of Fancy Pants Designs joining us to share a beautiful wedding gift she created using one of their latest lines Burlap and Bouquet



Hello Mei Li Paperie friends!
You could have the ideas already included or ask guests or family members to help you by adding one of their own ideas.  Here’s a few off the top of my head:  Buy her flowers for no reason at all; tell him how handsome he looks today; drop everything and go on a quick ice cream date….  you get the idea and you can totally customize this for the lucky couple! 
I hope you’ve enjoyed this little idea and look forward to hearing your thoughts on the line!




I’m Jodi Sanford, owner of Fancy Pants Designs  and I’m so happy to be here today sharing a little project I’ve been working on featuring our Burlap and Bouquets collection!  I adore this line for many reasons—first, it’s just a beautiful line with pretty patterns mixed with graphics that I love.  Second, it’s totally versatile for so many subjects, wedding, home decor, little girl, big girl and even boy with the bold graphic patterns.  And, third, it’s just filled with fun embellishments and sophisticated pieces that make the project beautiful with little effort!

Fancy Pants Wedding Jar by Jodi Sanford for Mei Li Paperie


So, for my project I created a little handmade wedding gift.  I thought this little project would make for a great wedding gift, but also a home decor and useful item for a newly married couple.  The card uses one of our Brag Cards from the line and says ‘Always Be Kind and True’  and the jar coordinates with the card because it’s a jar filled with little ideas (written on paper) of how you can be Kind and True to your spouse!  (You can explain the concept inside the card :))!

I super love this idea, so many of my friends are getting married right now and its such a great gift to give.. I would have loved to receive one when I got married 2 years ago. I may have to make one for us.. maybe using date night ideas. You can check out more awesome things made with this line and more on Fancy Pants Designs blog plus grab some of this awesome line in our shop here
Thanks for stopping by today! Leave a comment on this post to be entered to win a Burlap & Bouquet collection pack. Additionally stop by our facebook page where comments & shares also count as extra entries.  A random commenter/sharer will be chosen on Tuesday (July 22)
