Popping in quickly this morning....we've been enjoying some family time this weekend with some special guests staying with us...lots of little feet running around, sleep overs, BBQ's, games, visits on the porch, etc.
Today, the Crafty Secrets Design Team members have each created a little something for the Crafty Secrets new product challenge...I had such a hard time choosing what to use...as I love it all, but couldn't resist sharing a little apron love with you today.
Crafty Secrets is coming out with new double sided Creative Scraps....I've always loved the front side of course, but now seeing what is being added as a bonus to the backside, I am equally smitten. The apron shown in this card is from the backside of the Domestic Goddess collection....it is actually two aprons layered together...reminded me of playing paper dolls....I just added a sweet trimming along the bottom edge of the blue apron and popped it on top of the other.
The sentiment used on this card comes from the Crafty Secrets Sweet Stuff set...which is such a perfect fit for so many fun, homemade, home baked projects.
Here are some fun places for you to hop around and visit today:
Vicki Chrisman
Pam Hooten
Heidi Blankenship
Marisa Grosson
Linda Duke
Michele Kovack
Flo from France
Deborah March
And, before I go, a sweet, butterfly project to share with you, created for Emma's Paperie.
I have a supply list and instructions waiting for you here on the Emma's Paperie blog, but these little butterflies were simple punched from a folded up sewing pattern....the punches cut through them so easily...I can't wait to try out some more shapes.
Hope you're all enjoying a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.

I always love your creations! I haven't seen a post as to where I can purchase the glittered 'frame' you have used on your cards. Where can I get some?

Hi Melissa,
Just love the butterflies and the apron is calling out to me! Such a pity over on my side of the world, we don't have access to Crafty Secrets supplies or again, maybe not!!! Also love the new photo of you and Sierra.
As always thanks for sharing...
