I'm excited to be participating in the Silhouette Challenge again this month, and I am really excited to share what I made with all of you! Like really, really excited.In last month's Silhouette Challenge, I was intrigued by Lisa from Grey Luster Girl's Candy Travel Alphabet Game. It worked kind of like an advent calendar with little tear-open windows for each letter. I loved the idea and really wanted to try my hand a some kind of tear-open project. Aaaaaand I think what I came up with is actually kind of awesome.We all love a little mystery, right? Cracking open an Easter egg to see what goodies hide inside is a childhood joy that I haven't quite grown out of. I decided to try and re-create that experience in a paper card. So I designed a card with an egg on the front that tears ... [Read More]

Be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom of this post to see what Easter creations my friends have been working on.When I finished up my embroidered Happy Spring banner for my latest mantel update, I knew I needed another little Springy/Easter art or decor. When I started brainstorming ideas, I thought of bunny art, and then geometric bunny art, which led to the idea of tangrams. Tangrams!Yes, this is my second tangram-related post in the past couple weeks, but it was just so simple and cute, and I really like it, so there. :)This project literally takes about five minutes. It went something like this:Find cute scrapbook paper. Cut out tangram shapes. Glue tangram shapes ... [Read More]
Happy Spring Banner
This project post is a part of a paid marketing campaign with Snap. Although this post is sponsored the project idea and all opinions expressed are my own.If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen that I recently got some super exciting happy mail - a sampling of the super fun Amy Tangerine Plus One paper craft collection (the top-selling signature line of Winter 2014 that was so awesome it sold out pretty much everywhere). Just look at this box of happy:Yeah, there's some good stuff in there. This collection has lots of fun bundles including a basic kit, an embroidery kit, an embellishment kit, a stamping kit, and the sold out Project Life mini kit (which will be available at a discounted rate starting March 24 at HSN). Right away, I was drawn to these fantastic embroidery ... [Read More]
