Paper Craft

I am starting to feel the  pressure of the holidays upon me! Who isn't? It will be here before you know it. I have been getting all sorts of paper inspiration for this years decorations.  Here are a few things that I want to make.

This book is so inspirational, I've put it onto my Amazon wish list but I don't know how much longer I can wait till I order it for my very own. 

p.s. I'm teaching my Paper Wreath Class over at Ephemera next week, November 11th... so if you want to come join me in my creativity and inspiration sign up here. 

This is not mine.

But don't you think it could have been?!

I think I drank to much tea this afternoon and my brain is going a million miles a minute. I am reading several blogs, knitting a neckwarmer and watching Julie and Julia all at once!

In my blog reading I happen onto this... Brooklyn Bride. Even though I am not the bride or wedding type I decide it's a great way for me to educate myself on what's in so I can be better at my job. I can tell you what's in in the world of interiors but when it comes to weddings and cakes I am not so familiar. The two things do go hand in hand... the world of fashion influences interiors as well as weddings. (Good thing I went to school for fashion design back in the day.) It all RELATES!

Ok anyway... back to the flowers made out of paper. I think I am going to have to give these a try because they are so darn CUTE! Plus they say "Leslie" all over them. They are apart of a wedding shoot from the new blog I am looking through that is definitely going to go on my google reader.


I did make this though. I was working on so new paper wreaths for Ephemera today. There will be a few Valentine ones as well as Spring themed. These guys are so beautiful it's hard to not have one for every season and holiday.

Paper Textiles

Reading through Design Sponge tonight and like always it had many great inspirations for me... but I just had to share this one post with you. Here is another great idea of something to make for Valentines day! Or if you don't want to give it your hand and trying to make these lovely delicate flowers you can order them from Ermersonmade.



p.s. I will be teaching another paper class at Ephemera in February! We will be making brooches out of magazine papers. Another great opportunity for you to create something for a special someone. I hope you will come join us!
