I am beyond thrilled and honored to contribute to the Martha Stewart Weddings blog today! I created these geometric wish cards to coincide with the lemon + mint color palette featured in the latest mag (Martha Stewart Weddings, Spring 2012, pages 261-272). Click HERE to check out the full post.
*What?! Is this real? Pinch me. Big thanks to MSW for including me!
P.S. These are really easy to make + effortless for guests, I swear. You can’t mess the pattern up - the more random, the better, actually!

Big thanks to Nicole of Scarlet & Sterling for introducing me to this Swedish Dream Sea Salt Soap. I mean, how perfect is this packaging?! And once opened, how beautiful is the soap itself? This would make a great favor or welcome gift for a seaside wedding or event. I think the original packaging is amazing, but if you wanted to personalize it, a simple cotton bag + anchor stamp would do the trick. Soap available here and anchor stamp found here.

Hope you had a great weekend. I am psyched today to share a Valentine’s Day DIY over on Poppytalk. This idea is all about CHOCOLATE. And yes, I ate every single one of the props. (Someone had to). Big thanks to Jan of Poppytalk for including me! Check out the full post here.
P.S. For any locals, I picked up the spice jar + mini scoop at Healthy Living. The hot chocolate + candy bars are my fave Lake Champlain Chocolates, available at a number of retail locations. The wrapping paper + heart punch are from Michael’s in South Burlington.

The foliage is going off right now in Vermont. Why even attempt to make up color combos when really, nature kills it every time. To celebrate all of the amazing hues, I created these Pantone-inspired place cards for Frolic! Check out the post here.*
*Be sure to click all the way through for directions (easy as apple pie + cider donuts, I swear).

No, this is not a tribute to Where’s Waldo (come on, we all loved him). It’s a sneak peek of a 4th of July project I created for Frolic! Super simple, I promise… Check it out here. And fire up that grill!
Big thanks to Chelsea! So excited to be contributing to her fab blog.

Inspired by my collection of vintage pennants, I decided to create one for Scout’s Honor Co. I did not take on sewing just yet but glue seemed to do the trick. I would love to make a whole series of these one day.

I received some Japanese washi masking tape from my sister and am wondering what I did beforehand. It comes in great colors & patterns (I am partial to the stripes), is semi-translucent, and can be removed easily. I was making some gift tags over the weekend for a friend and started experimenting. It is a great way to work with color & pattern minus the computer. I love that the stripes instantly look like birthday candles.
