I love these fun, bright fabric flowers, but then to add them to a young girls t-shirt made them even cuter!! If you want to see how to create these for yourself, visit The Idea Room blog!!

Lovely Headbands

I'm not sure I've shared a fun site I enjoy checking out called "The Recessionista"...but they have the lovelist headbands I've ever seen and if my budget would allow it, I'd be ordering all of them. This is one of the newest and the yummiest!

Loved this fun idea to cover a composition book and you can remove it and add it to another book when the book is done. Check out this fun tutorial here!


Inkbloom: Design Your Own Fabric
I've seen products similar to this, but loved what they did with it. They even have a section on their blog to download designs. Skip to My Lou website featured this product and offered a great tutorial on how to use it and make this fun bag. Love the graphic, they have a link at the end of the post that tells you to subscribe to their newsletter and they'll send you a link to download it for free!! Can't wait to play with this!

And she had another flower tutorial.
