Star Spangled Banner & Americana Lollies
For those of you that will be celebrating the great US of A this weekend, we’ve spotted some fun projects over on Hilary Kanwischer’s blog. Show your patriotic spirit with a Star Spangled Banner of your own — Hilary gives instructions and detailed photos.
Hilary also has some fun 4th of July lollipops, in the same style as her famous (seriously) Halloween & Christmas pops. They look good enough to eat, so you’d best keep the corn-on-the-cob and watermelon wedges coming to avoid temptation.
Sprinkle a little Americana around this week and enjoy your summer celebrations!

Bonus Project: Rocket Card
Sometimes we just end up with too much good stuff to fit into our books. Such was the case with this adorable rocket card by Sarah Hodgkinson and our April-May issue. Click on the picture to download a pdf. And here’s a link to the rocket on crayola.com. What an awesome project, thank you Sarah!

Our first album kit!
This lovely kit is up for sale right now in our store. Alisha designed it with a gorgeous new line from My Mind’s Eye. So pretty, huh? Notice the bonus card says “Mom” — makes me think this would be a perfect way to get ahead on your Mother’s Day present this year. Grandma would adore this!! And really, it would be a beautiful gift (completed, or just the kit) for any special occasion — baby shower, wedding gift, birthday, you name it.
The kit comes with a flocked album (6 pp), coordinating paper & embellishments, and printed step-by-step instructions.
P.S. A little behind-the-scenes tidbit: The darling baby in this album is Linda Nelson’s (our Simply Handmade and Scrapbook Trends designer), granddaughter. Her first! Congrats on such a beautiful addition to the family, Linda!
