M is for Mother Layout

Chris is an amazing artist!
We are so lucky to have her on the team!
She used Glimmer Mist and Gesso for this Frameable layout!
What a fantastic tribute!
The tissue paper gives so much texture and the flowers really pop!

Pump Up Your Frame!

Sabrina takes an ordinary frame and makes it Magical with Prima Flowers!

Sewn Pouch Tutorial

I know it's past Easter time...but you could easily adapt this project for any occasion!
I plan on using it next week during Teacher Appreciation (May2-6)!
I know it's cliche but you could sew up an apple and fill it with goodies.
You could sew the letters T-H-A-N-K-Y-O-U and put them in the lounge!
"Sew" many possibilities!
We want to know if you are going to whip some of these up and what shape you use.
We're nosey like that!
Thank you again to The Peppermint Plum for an awesome project!!
