Well this will be my last posting as an MLS Design Team Member. I have enjoyed tremendously working with the wonderfully talented Helen Chu and her DT. Next week check out the My Little Shoebox blog to meet all the new design team members. I'm sure it's going to be a blast for them as it was for me.
I leave you with some spring keepsake project and layout.
Enjoy...

Up in the trees Cards...
Last month I got to work with one of the awesome new lines from MLS at Winter CHA 2012. It's the up in in the trees line. I really enjoyed working and creating with this line. My favorite card is the HI card, I don't know what it is, maybe the colors, maybe the woodgrain, but it's just my fave.

A Pretty Little Things Wreath...
I have been on Pinterest way too much. I was inspired by the toilet paper art that so many have been creating and I had the idea I could use some of the yummy MLS papers to create something that was similar.
Here is what I was able to come up with:
Here is a close up of the rolled flowers from MLS
I really love the look of it and can't wait to put it in my front door.

Origami Folding Flower Tutorial...
With spring just around the corner, I wanted to
share with you all an origami folding flower tutorial. I have been addicted to making these paper
flowers. We even make it as a family
activity. Hope you enjoy it!
1.
Start
with a 3x3 piece of paper. I used Enchanted Garden’s Classy paper. I love all the colors.
2.
Fold
the bottom corner to the top to make a triangle, this will be the side seen on
the outside of your flower so make sure you are happy with your choice.
3.
Fold
the right bottom corner of the triangle to the top point.
4.
Repeat
for the left side. I used a bone folder
to ensure my folds and edges were flat.
You should now have a square.
5. Fold
the top left flap of the square backwards as shown. This should form a little kite shape on each
flap. Repeat for the other side.
6.
Fold the
top triangles as shown so that they are level with the edge of the paper.
7.
Fold the
right flap along the existing crease.
Repeat for the other side.
8.
Place
adhesive to one triangle as shown and attach to the other triangle.
9.
Here is
a completed petal. Repeat
steps 1-8 to create five more.
Note where I placed my adhesive to adhere the petals together.
10. Adhere
all six petals together. When you have adhered
three of the six petals add the floral wire in the middle as shown.
Here is what the completed flower looks like.
Once you have
created a few flowers you can create your own bouquet of flowers. I used all 6 papers from Enchanted Garden to
create my flowers. I also added a few
leaves using the “B” side of Exquisite and adhering them to some floral wire. Here is my completed bouquet:
