Sometimes you just can’t help but fall in love with something. Lately, I’ve been crushing on pinwheels. Can’t explain how this crush came to be. It just did! But really, what’s not to love? Pretty colors, childhood memories, folded paper…it’s pretty simple.

I keep imagining an entire day spent making these twirling beauties. I want to [...]

Who doesn’t love to play with colorful bits of paper and glue? Something about it just brings the kid out in all of us. Crafting cards for Valentine’s Day is just the kind of fun we’re thinking about right now. We love the idea that Valentine’s Day is not just for lovers. When you think [...]

Opening your eyes to the things you already have around you and thinking creatively [...]

This afternoon at the studio, we got the bug to do a little crafting. This often happens around here when we’ve been sitting in front of the computer for 7 plus hours. We just needed to use another part of our brains and get our hands moving!

Isn’t it fun to act like a kid sometimes? That’s just what we did on Valentine’s Day weekend by having a kid-centric crafting party! Four of our close girlfriends have daughters that are all around 6-7 years so it’s really fun to get all the girls together and make stuff!
