Shimelle creates with mix and mend and a hint of indie girl. Love the use of these collections for wedding photo's. match made in heaven!

 

what a great combo of count me in patterns she uses here. Yes very chill indeed.

 

 

 What is inspiring you today? we'd love to hear.

light and airy

there are so many unique styles to admire in the world of paper crafting. today let's enjoy and admire the light and airy style of these talented crafters. There is such simple beauty in the softness of the colors chosen and the light mix of products.

 

Fryne has a lovely way of using quite a few products on one page but still keeping the over all feel softly beautiful.

Here she uses count me in papers, count me in sweat treats, garden bits chipboard stickers, tailored deck paper whimsies, and a bit of mix and mend papers.

 

 

 

Fryne continues with the combination of mix and mend and count me in papers. she also uses the entwined blooms to add dimension and layers while still keeping the soft and airy style.

 

 

and this third project also from fryne..... gorgeous!

 

 

Amanda combines a vintage photo with a vintage brooch to create this stunning project.

 

 

take a closer look...

 

 

Leah  uses the indie girl collection to create this artsy statement celebrating her camera. very cool!

 

 

another indie girl project by Leah. She's added just the right touch of mist and stitch to make a statement that often times less is more.

 

 

 Thank you for joining in today in admiring a style that shines with simple beauty. Are you a light and airy crafter? I know these girls and many of you are going to be so excited to start creating with the new sweetly smitten line. I was looking at stacks of this paper yesterday as boxes were being put together to send out to our design team. It's so beautiful. I keep falling more in love with it by the day.... i think you will too.

In DESIGN TEAM news.... the contestents have been narrowed down to about 100. Which means we need a bit more time. We are going to take the next few weeks to make the final cuts, send out secret notifications, and then on March 1st make the announcement public.

 

we heart you!

happy heart day.

from the bottom of our hearts the sassafras team wants you to know that you inspire us... not just on special holidays.... every day! you make us smile, give us motivation, spark our creativity, and are the reason that sassafras is here today. 

how's your valentines day going? hope LOVE-ly.

Here's a little something to get your creative engines revved and ignite your love for paper crafting. Kimberly created this project using "paper crush". Love how this project shows the everyday year round usability of this collection. Although "paper crush" is perfect for Valentines day creations look how great it is for the other 364 days of the year.

 

 

are you a not-so-secret admirer of these flag banner stickers? me too =)

 

 

the blue linen mini alpha sticker is a great size for layout titles and has card makers smiling!

 

 

Love the stacked cardstock stickers. Kimberly started with a journal tag sticker, added 2 pieces from the flag banners, and a wee little sweet treat on top. 

 

 

and last but not least i really adore the arrangement of entwined blooms. They add a beautiful touch to the project.

 

 

hope your day is filled with celebrating something you LOVE, wether it be a someone special, your family, your friends, or your love for crafting. ENJOY.
