This week ….

March 30, 2010 By Spoonful of Sugar - 16 Comments


Sarah has been making some cards using Girl Friday papers from Cosmo Cricket for some upcoming birthdays. She was beyond thrilled to find out that there is now a co-ordinating fabric range, so I think there may be more Girl Friday projects in her future.

I received some beautiful fabrics today from Quilt Fabric Delights. I have big plans for them and they should keep me occupied over the the Easter break.

    Hmmmm….are we talking pillowcases??? Those fabrics will be perfect for that. Isn’t it cool that the paper companies and the fabric companies are coordinating? Think of the possibilities!!!

    Those cards are so cute! I love all the extra embellishments Sarah added, making the messages really pop. I bet those fabrics to match are gorgeous too. And you supplies for a weekend project look very inspiring. Enjoy!

    Beautiful cards, Sarah. And those fabrics…I think they would make some very Posh Pillowcases. In fact, I know they would. I used the floral Amy Butler on one. Love it! Can’t wait to see what you do with them.

    Happy Easter…
