3 Smiles Layout with Kat Benjamin

It is a dreary day here in Georgia - rain, rain and more cold chilly rain. It was the perfect day than to post Kat's bright and warm layout. I love her use of color swatches in the background and how she integrates these bright flashes of color with warm basics, including our burlap butterflies, clothespins and felt butterflies.

Hot Beverage Bar with Strawberry Baskets by Connie Mercer

Winter Hot Beverage Bar with Strawberry Baskets

 Cold weather is upon us here in Georgia and Connie's idea for a hot drink bar using our strawberry baskets is brilliant. She added our baskets to an enamel tray and then organized her biscotti, sugar and creamer on a sweet enamel tray.

We aren't coffee drinkers in our home, but I think I might do the same with hot chocolate packets, extra marshmallows, and candy cane stir sticks.

She topped her lovely collection off with a chalkboard tag embellished with our burlap butterflies, rolled felt roses, and heart stick pins.

Soap Bag with Connie Mercer

Today's gorgeous vintage-style technique comes from DT Member Connie Mercer.  Connie stamped on one of our muslin bags with Ranger Archival Ink and a Darkroom Door stamp to create this one-of a kind bag.  Once she embellished it with sunny seam binding, some vintage trims, and a burlap butterfly, Connie added a bar of sweet smelling soap and had the perfect gift to make a friend's day brighter.  On the other hand, this project may just be too gorgeous to give away!
