Botanical Tea Storage Unit

Welcome back! Today I want to share another Guest Design Team project for Sacrafters. She was kind enough to send me  her 4-drawer storage unit and I thought it would be great to alter it for my craft area. I'm always in need of more storage, and this was the perfect piece to alter with the Graphic 45 Botanical Tea collection. I've been hoarding this paper pad ever since I got it,lol.

I love the way the storage unit turned out and the papers are just gorgeous! With all the roses and birds, it just makes me long for Spring. The Wood Flourishes and metal pulls by Kaisercraft add just enough detail to the drawer fronts.

I found a metal candle holder at my second hand store and I created a little nest inside. The candle holder resembles a little tea cup so it went perfectly with the theme of the papers.I fussy cut some elements from the paper pad, added some flowers and branches to create a botanical scene on top of the unit.

For the sides, I simply added doily die cuts from the Cheery Lynn French Pastry die and layered fussy cut elements. The metal corner pieces are by Momenta and are the perfect antique gold.

 Here's the back of the unit. Simple but pretty!

Hope you like today's project and thank you so much for stopping by.

Berry Basket Gift Baskets and Sweet Goodies for Valentine's Day

Hi everyone! I'm back today with another  Valentine's Day project. I met up with a couple of sweet friends last Friday and I wanted to make them a little something, something. We don't get to see each other very often because we live so far apart from one another. So it's always nice to get together and catch up and share a few laughs. Being that Valentine's Day is right around the corner, I thought some sweet V-Day projects were in order.

I had picked up a pack of berry baskets from my local craft store during Christmas time (marked down 80%). Score! The color was perfect for V-day so I just added some crinkle tissue and filled them with little crafty goodies to create these sweet gift baskets. Quick and easy little gift.

And who doesn't love something sweet for Valentine's day? I filled these glassine bags with chocolate hearts, wrapped bakers twine around them and added a cute circular tag and clothespin.

You can't give a gift without a card so I created 2 different cards for each of my friends. I made one vintage and the other shabby chic.

The sweet vintage die cuts are by K and Company. I picked them up a few years back and I still love them. I sprinkled the roses with Diamond Dust and then dabbed white acrylic paint on top for a shabbier look.

My friends loved their gifts and I loved spending time with them.Can't wait for our next meet up. 

Thank you so much for stopping by!
