  I was unsure if I was going to finish this before the deadline for the Cricut Design Space Challenge – but it appears I just might make it in time (whoa!). I mentioned yesterday, my team’s theme for this round is “Dreamy White Holiday,” and for me, it means time with friends and family (and snow!). The holidays weren’t […]

Brace yourself: we’re on the last all-team Cricut Design Space Star challenge. I feel really fortunate to have been a part of it and challenge myself creatively over the last four months (it sounds kooky, but working within Design Space requires a different way of thinking, but in a really good way – and makes crafts and various […]

On Halloween I like to hang a black light above our door in a paper lantern. The neighborhood kids really dig it. They hold out their costumed arms, stick out their legs and shoes, and move their treat bags around to look at the glow. It’s comical sweetness; the comments are downright funny but the awe is […]

As promised in the two previous posts, here’s a fun – and unique – idea for a gift, party giveaway or somewhere in-between. The notebook was sparked as an idea for couples to give to their wedding party, in part as a thank you gift, but also a way to hand out the day’s – or […]

Yesterday I shared the first half of the Woodland Tablescape Melanie and I teamed up to create for this month’s Cricut Design Space Star Challenge – and I’m very excited to share today’s post about the peony garland centerpiece. Peonies are my favorite flower. One alone makes an impression, thanks to its amazing bloom. Gather five […]

It’s time for this month’s Cricut Design Space Star Challenge! The overarching theme for Round 3 was Wedding & Celebrations and my team decided to use “Floral + Woodland” as our focus. After brainstorming a few ideas, I decided on the following: a tablescape with a menu and place card design (today’s post!), and a peony and boxwood garland centerpiece (tomorrow’s post); and a few gift ideas, […]

A month ago I received an email from Cricut about Design Space Star, a design challenge. In short, between August and November there’s a monthly challenge to create an item using the Cricut Explore and there are prizes for the winners (!). After reading the email – and re-reading a few more times – I thought, “Why not try?” So I […]

I love getting personal mail. Not bills. But actual pen-to-paper, sealed and stamped mail. Postcards are totally groovy too (if you’re ever on a trip, snail mail me a postcard!). Needless to say I love getting invites via snail mail too. I completely realize e-invites have their place in the world (they make life easier) and an email dishing a party’s details is perfectly […]
