Splendid

toffee magazine

I was beyond honored when Toffee Magazine asked me to do a couple crafts for their second issue. Toffee is a fabulous magazine with beautiful photography, crafts, cooking, current trends, eye candy galore, free downloadables and articles from Indie Artists and Crafters.  They are sort of a Martha meets Frankie love child (with DIY as an Uncle) kind of magazine. I highly recommend you check them out and get a subscription!!

They sent me a file of their lovely Spring papers to make something spring-y...I made these two projects, a paper cone with a little bird, ready to be displayed for spring or Easter. Chirp, chirp... 

 
and an Easter card, complete with a vintage Bunny cupcake topper.

 
Both are super simple crafts, just perfect for quick Spring decorating. You are able to download for FREE all their super sweet and beautiful papers here!!!  Go and take a look at them, I promise you won't be disappointed.

Toffee magazine

I am IN LOVE with this magazine.  It's an e-zine right now, I hope they go paper  (while I love the environment, I really love HOLDING a magazine) and this magazine is pure deliciousness.  The photography, crafting section, recipes, interviews (like with Danielle Thompson, etc.) Just lovely.  Check it out here.

 

new design

What do you think?  It's not done, but I think it's turning out super cute.  My super crafty friend Marolle in Denmark has a similar design and elements and I loved it. I've been wanting to redo my blog and thought since she has a lot of the little elements I wanted,  I'd have her do it for me.  I love the sewing notions and vintage touches from downloadable Danielle Thompson kitchy digitals, Shabby Miss Jenn, and other digi sites. If anyone is interested in having their blogs redesigned, please contact Marolle.  She was fast, professional and so sweet. In the next week or two it should be all done, but I'm rather pleased with the splendid design...you???
