I already had a post schedule for Tuesday so I had to wait until today to tell you about the team up with Petaloo and Bella Blvd.  

We are having a party all week at the Petaloo blog, sharing projects for birthdays.  Home decor, gifts and gift bags, cards, anything to do with birthdays.  The Bella Blvd design team is also sharing their birthday projects using Petaloo flowers too so you'll want to stop by their blog as well for more inspiration and of course more chances to win.

Let's Get Organized

Today I have a blog post on the Petaloo blog that I would like to share with you.  It's about getting your cards organized for the year.  I have a hard time keeping up with all the people that I want to send cards to and so I thought this pretty little box decorated with Petaloo flowers might help me get those cards in the mail on time.  You can see more pictures and all of the details here.

I also want to share with you the link to where I got the pattern for the box.  It's really easy to put together and just requires a sheet of paper, a trimmer, and a pair of scissors.  You can get the free downloadable PDF at SP and Company from Samantha Peyton at the ScrapMaster's Paradise. 

Have fun making your card boxes.

Color Me Crazy with Pan Pastels

Have you heard about Pan Pastels?  They have become very popular recently and I am seeing the name pop up everywhere.  Well for a design team assignment for Petaloo we were given a few colors to play with and I found that they are a wonderful media to use with the Color Me Crazy Petaloo flower line. 

Here is my project that I created with the Pan Pastels and the Petaloo Color Me Crazy flowers.  If you would like to learn and see more of my project, hop on over to the Petaloo blog.  

Thanks for stopping by.  I would love to hear about your experience with Pan Pastels and if you have ever used them to color flowers before.  Please leave a comment.  I really appreciate and enjoy reading them.
