I absolutely LOVE Kim’s free Happy Garden tutorial as featured on her blog. It’s such a fun project that I could never tire of creating them over and over again. Those happy little flowers sure keep us all smiling through the grey and cold New York winters.

Seam binding - both vintage and new - (our Australian girls know that as bias binding) is one of my new favourite things. I love to:

• tie it on a tag
• use it to bind a mini book
• sew a ruffle of it on my page
• tiw a bow around a treasured photo or some journaling
• use it as a hanger for a home decor item

I just LOVE it. It is just so pretty and comes in such gorgeous colours - I think I find a way to add it to each and every project I make lately!

I discovered scrapbooking back in 2003 when a friend showed me her albums. I was immediately drawn to the idea of artfully recording family memories and have been scrapbooking and papercrafting ever since.
