Craft project: 3D confetti

Are you loving paper, dots, graphics as much as I do ... then start making 3D confetti like Véronique from Pichouline did. She wrote down the steps for us and made very clear pictures that will also help your children to understand exactly what to do.

I would use let my boys choose their favorite colors and once finished hang the confetti confetti dots on their bedroom wall or use them as garlands for a party!

Welcome Colette!

You might wonder why I haven't shared any craft projects with you lately .. well my friend and wonderful contributor Véronique Senorans Osorio from online shop Pichouline just gave birth to her third child ... baby Colette was born last month and I would like to Welcome her with lot's of love to this world and wishing her all things fabulous for her life.

Colette is very lucky to have such an amazing and sweet mom (and dad of course) who has created the most beautiful and awesome birth announcement AND gifts you can imagine.

A giraffe themed package arrived in my mailbox ... a little box with a wallet and key hanger, a cute little giraffe, some delicious golden wrapped chocolate all packed in a small linen bag and last but not least the letter-pressed card with golden sides.

Just perfect! Thank you my dear Véronique and we all hope you will be back soon with a craft project for us!

TimeCapsules

Often the idea of creating a memory box came to my mind, because there just aren't many nice ones and I love keeping little notes, things and memorabilia  ... but never ever could I have created a 'box' this beautiful ... the word memory box doesn't even do justice ... TimeCapsule is much more appropriate and sounds so much nicer, intriguing and exciting.

I LOVE TimeCapsules.

The book of Friends for your baby pictures

Moving to a new house means finding many hidden treasures in your home ... like my baby album. I am so happy my mother has kept this book for me and a couple of years ago she told me it would be better if I kept it myself. And she was right... as always :) ... my boys love looking at these pictures ... especially Kiet while he doesn't comprehend yet that I have been a baby and small too :) but he likes my chubby face and seeing me in funny clothes!

With our digital era I believe it is so important to not forget printing images from your kids and just like in the old days collect them in a book or album ... 

Yesterday I spotted this beauty over at Mokkasin and yes it would be my first choice at the moment. "The book of friends" is from Pleased to Meet. A paper goods studio founded by Daniela Könn and Marcel Hornung. A German couple that met in New York while working at different design agencies.

WatIETS

A letter in my inbox brought me to the graphics from WAT I E T S ... and I LOVE them, such a lovely idea to translate wooden play blocks into beautiful graphic patterns. Their color choice make them even more special ...

WAT I E T S is a collaboration of two Dutch freelance designers... Chris van Middendorp and Sarah Pieterse... with a similar vision. They try to maintain their curious mind and translate their wonders into designs.
