Blog Envy

What happens when you read your favorite "mommy" blog and your favorite crafter blog on the same day? Inspiration!

While getting my daily dose of Dooce.com, I really dug the wall flowers she placed above her changing table in her baby girl's nursery. They're from Umbra and just so cute. I love how they seem to float up the wall.

The Umbra flowers reminded me of a recent post on the weddings and cookies blog (written by Renee of Ugly Kitty fame). She's experimenting with paper decor for her 2010 wedding.

Combine the two and *poof*! Paper wall flowers above the changing table ...

Where do you find inspiration?

Announcements Announcing...

Ella Juliet Jackson

4.4.09

She's given me a really great excuse for not showing my bloggy blog any love over the past year. However, many other craft/design/decor projects have be afoot and I'm hoping to capture them all (and anything else that I'm loving at the moment) here.

So I'll start with my first Ella related paper project:

Birth Announcements!

All of the paper came from Paper Source. For the card, I used a #10 Luxe note card in Fino White. The envelope is a #10 Luxe open ended in Blush. I did not use the button & string version, occasionally the button from the envelope can dent the note card inside.

The fonts used were Bickham Script, Bickham Script Fancy and Century Gothic. Each envelope was addressed to the recipient using Bickham for the names and the Century Gothic for the addresses.
