I know many of you have been on pins and needles waiting to see who you'll get to see more of as my new design team! I've spent days pouring over all the entries. It's probably my most and least favorite part all at the same time. I love seeing all the talent, energy, and inspiration put into the projects you do, and I hate that I can't have everyone on my design team! So here they are, the new design team, in no particular order: My new design team has two returning members: Amy Tsuruta and Laurel Seabrook and 8 new members: Tina Fussell Jessica Griffin Karen Baker Bonnie Rose Kempenich Tiffany Heilman Julie … [Read more...]
Tutorial Tuesday: Custom Stylish Luggage
By now you can probably tell that I love to add my own style to things (like the custom passport cover) so I decided that my plain black luggage was also fair game! Well, the almost plain luggage. I got it free, but wanted something a little more "me" for the trip. For this project I used some scrap fabric I had, ironed some heat and bond to the back of it, cut it out, and ironed it onto my luggage! Now I'll know which one is mine! Best part? It's easy! Hand draw your image onto the paper side of the heat and bond, iron it to your fabric, cut it out, and iron away! Really it was that easy! And with that I'll be taking a … [Read more...]

Tutorial Tuesday: Passport Cover
The next few weeks will be some travel inspired tutorials to get ready for those vacations you've got planned this summer! Today we'll be making a passport cover! I've got all the directions on how to make your own AND a download for the covers I designed! For each passport cover you'll need to cut the following: 2- 12 1/2" x 6" pieces of fabric (I used micro-suede. It's easily cleanable and not too bulky!

Tutorial Tuesday: Origami Shirt and Tie
We're going to make a great embellishment today, just in time for Father's Day! I'll take you through the steps to make an origami shirt and add a cute little ribbon tie to finish it off. Start with a piece of paper that's 4" x 5 1/2". The rest of the instructions are in the video. I find that it's always easier to see origami as it's done, instead of seeing step by step pictures of the process. Here's a close up of the shirt and tie. Try adding a mini metal brad for a tie tack! Supplies: Basic Grey papers, Cuttlebug embossing folder from the Asian Set, Adhesive from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L, ribbon from my scrap … [Read more...]

Today's favorites are inspired by the French! Vanilla and Blackberry French Macaroons. I plan on visiting Laduree, whose macaroons are supposed to be … [Read more...]
