card cravings

It's that time of year. The time when Christmas has passed taking with it the excuse for eggnog, massive amounts of chocolate and holiday cocktails. This is the time of year where those "Christmas cravings" have passed me. But have no fear! New cravings aren't far behind. Spring cravings. Mardi Gras cravings. Crawfish cravings. Abita Beer cravings. You know what I'm talking about . . . king cake, crawfish boils, Abita Strawberry Harvest Lager . . .  the cravings that Louisiana is best know for. Since I spend a lot of time in the Washington DC area, I have been on a mad mission to find these spring cravings here. Luckily it appears as though I will be able to enjoy these great Louisiana spring cravings in the upcoming months. Until then (or until a visit down to Louisiana), I will have to settle my cravings with cards. These cravings I love so much have inspired some new cards. I hope everyone enjoys them, but I especially hope it hits home with those of you that have also fallen victim to Louisiana spring cravings.

wrapping it up

Lately I have really been loving how kraft paper and baker's twine look together! I've been using them both for packaging stationery for a while now. Since the baker's twine is red and white, I decided to use them both for wrapping presents this year. I really love how they are turning out! For small items and gift cards, I took some Martha Stewart advice and used shredded paper-filled glass jars. For the finishing touch I used one of Martha Stewart's punches to recreate a whimsical white gift tag to tie to the presents. Wrapping presents might be my favorite part of the holidays!


Happy Holidays to you and your family!

holiday decor

In my quest to add some holiday cheer to my boyfriend's apartment, I stumbled upon some very unique and inspiring holiday decor ideas. Unfortunately I'm not allowed to go "overboard" here. . . maybe these ideas can help some of you guys go where I can't go in the quest for holiday cheer. :)
