GUEST POST ON POSTCARDS AND PRETTIES

{LILLY BIMBLE}

Happy Thursday! I was so floored when Christina asked me to do a guest post. I have a great hint for you over on POSTCARDS AND PRETTIES today about digital patterns.  These might say they are scrapbook paper but did you know you can use them for party printables, too?  I rounded up some of the best shops on Etsy and I really thing you should check them out.  Heck, I make my own patterns, but I NEED some of these! Why recreate the wheel? Go see the post  HERE.

READY, SET, FETE OVER ON LOVELY LITTLE DETAILS

Happy Monday all! When Jacin asked me to help her while she makes one fabulous wedding in Cabo, I said yes, yes, YES!  I love her blog LOVELY LITTLE DETAILS and thought I would create a little details post of my own. So, go visit my guest post HERE and let me know what you think. xo

Anyhoo, without further ado...Go get your craft on with a super simple and super cute garland/ornament/cupcake topper tutorial I did for Lauren over on a fabulous fete. Enjoy!

Canvas and Canopy DIY

The Canvas and Canopy blog is amazing. All the gorgeousness that once was ilovelolliblog has been loaded into Canvas and Canopy's archives.  I've been meaning to share this DIY with you!  I was looking over my posts and I saw this little lovely never posted.  About  a month late.  Naughty Jenny. I blame dialup, but you can blame me. Here you go, a little treat for the long weekend!

When Cortnie asked me to do a party goodie tutorial for all of her lovely readers... I shrieked with joy.  I just about fell out of my chair. So here it is! My little lovely cake banner tutorial. Go visit Canvas and Canopy and learn how to make one, too.  Thank you, Cortnie!

I'm over on Honeysuckle Lane!!

I am sure you remember the loveliness that is Simple Joys Paperie?  It was my first ever Wonderful Wednesday post.  Lana's pretty little blog Honeysuckle Lane is filled with gorgeousness, just like her shop.  So today, head on over there to see my little interview and learn a wee bit more about me...like what was the first thing I ever sewed...

A huge THANK YOU to Lana for making me feel so welcome and special on her blog.

Pretty Inspiration Board by Marry You Me

Happy Monday!!! So, if you missed me on Friday, I unveiled my new blog decor...and later that day...what to my wandering eyes should appear...but this beautiful inspiration board from Annie, of Marry You Me. 

::sigh::

What wonderful, gorgeous eye candy from one very sweet (and talented) wedding bloggess. The most incredible part is that this board is a. perfect. match. Enjoy...



Annie says, "When I saw the makeover Jenny did here on Hank + Hunt, I got super inspired by her adorable blue and green color scheme (my favorite!) & ribbon theme that I wanted to translate it into an inspiration board for a wedding. The clean, color scheme felt so California to me! So with Big Sur as the ideal "location" for the wedding, I built on a California-cool theme, with succulents and pops of bright blue. And of course, a bunting save-the-date inspired by the fabulous garlands of Hank + Hunt. :)"
