It's about this time of the year that I get really antsy for Spring to arrive. The weather teases us with 60+ degree sunny days. The stores clearance their Valentine's Day inventory and have stocked the shelves with Springy Eastery goodness. The calendar starts filling up with plans for road trips and Spring weddings. The anticipation is inspiring.
I recently made these cute alphabet flippers for my cutie-patootie niece and my cuter-than-10-things honorary grand-daughter. They were ridiculously easy.
My Mind's Eye Alphabet Soup line includes this darling alphabet card deck. I stuck them in plastic badge holders and clipped them all together. I hope "Auntie Coco's" girlies love them!
Here are some other designs to inspire you:
Echo Park Paper has really cute springy paper patterns and embellishments.
Bella Figura this is a letterpress company that offers, among other fabulous things, customized coasters! If you want some fabulous design ideas for anything...invites, vinyl, cards, etc. - this is where to get them.
May Arts Ribbon I love ribbon! It's one of my very favorite things! This company is known for fabulous ribbon - but there are also some really fun ideas on their blog.
Create something good today! Spring is coming!
WELCOME!
Almost everyday, I see or find something I want to share with someone. That's why I'm often saying something to the effect of, "Hey! Look what I found...". As I gather ideas and inspiration from everything around me, some of these things actually turn into projects: invitations, party favors, decorations, gifts, things for my friends, things for weddings, things for my house, things to eat, etc. But truthfully, most of them go in my files. And, yes, I actually am the kind of person who goes back and looks at them. In my perfect world, I would have ample time to create (or attempt) every fabulous project, as well as endless resources to purchase all of the beautiful, unique, and sometimes quirky things I come across. But until then, I would love to be able to share this obsession I have of looking for the next incredible find. So, come back often--it will be an insight into my thoughts (which I always find entertaining, at the very least) and an adventure in creative possibilities.
