Jenifer needed a couple quick and easy teacher gifts for the first day of school.  This came together quickly and she made several in a few minutes.  She threw in a couple new pencils and some treats and the kids were off. These would be find for the upcoming holidays as well as you could write any message you like on the chalkboard tags.

Our very own Alyssa McGrew welcomed the most adorable new addition to her family last week!  We are celebrating by sharing a gift bag she made for a friend of hers who has had a baby boy earlier in the year.

Alyssa, needed a creative way to wrap a wallet-sized book, and the kraft embossed bags from the shop were easy to embellish, and the perfect size for a small item.

Embellished Berry Basket with Shellye McDaniel

 Shellye shares a wonderful project today showcasing our brand new pint pulp berry baskets. She even gives a few tips on how to recreate it.

1. Cut a piece of floral foam to fit into berry basket.  

2. Using 'fringe' scissors (or hand-cutting strips with regular scissors) cut strips from paper bags.  

3. Crush shreds with your hands and then apply to top of the floral foam (I used a quick-dry glue to the top of the foam before covering with shreds).  

4. Determine placement for your forks and then insert into the foam. 

5.  Change up the fork display with different photos, recipes or notes!

Life is in the Details Layout with Jess Mutty

I used a ton of girly goodness on this page.  I created a more eclectic layout so I had room to add all kinds of great Curtsey Boutique embellishments. 

I started with a base of a couple of doilies and built my photos on top of them.  But I love layers and layer I did! The pink paper rosettes were a sweet choice, along with a felt flower and a petite fabric bow clustered around the photo area.  I echoed the rosette at the top corner on top of a few glitter banner pieces. 

I also really loved the twine on this page.  I got creative and made a tassel for the chevron embossed tag and then trailed some around the banner, too.  Fun!
