Good Saturday morning, my friends! My favorite time of the week, time for me to share more inspiration and fun projects with you! I hope you are all geared up to learn more new techniques and create beautiful items that will brighten your crafting weekend! So let’s sit back, relax and enjoy today’s wonderful projects by many talented designers!
Hooray By Jill Keller
This layout is for those of you who love to add some hand stitching on your layouts. What an adorable way to remember what age your precious child or grandchild was in their photo. I love the look of sewing on all my papercrafts, from scrapbooking layouts to greeting cards. Sewing and embroidery adds dimension without a lot of bulk and has the added benefit of attaching elements to the page in the process. You can sew by hand or with your machine, and both techniques are easier than you might think. I love the character it gives to the layout!
Scrapbook pages are such treasured moments and memories. Don’t you just love to pull out your scrapbooks and reminisce about all those fond memories? Down the road you will feel like you walked through memory lane! Jill captured a sweet moment of her darling daughter on her 5th birthday. Jill’s layout is full of fun elements, and she has such a great way of giving layouts a nice contrast. I am sure you would love to see more of Jill’s talent with her scrapbooking, so let me take you on over to Creating Us. Take some time and enjoy her inspiration of her beautiful creations.

Pressed Flower Coasters By Marianne Koo

Dried flower coasters also make lovely gifts, and the best part is bringing in the flowers you found in your own backyard! Press the flowers yourself, or you can use pre-pressed blooms. You can use any variety of flowers or leaves that you love. A collection of coasters is even more charming if each one is unique!
