28 February 2014

This week’s been crazy busy. In between activities and trying to recover from the flu, I didn’t spend very much time on the internet at all. Which is pretty fine by me, actually.

While it’s a little hard to believe that it’s already going to be the weekend, here are some of my favorites this week:

This delicious-looking flourless chocolate cake from BleuBird.
7 habits of incredibly happy people.
8 ways to simplify pocket scrapbooking from a new resource/blog, The Pocket Source.
These 10 ideas for small spaces.
This amazing E. E. Cummings brush script printable by my new instagram-friend, Vanessa (she’s incredibly creative!)
And this fun + simple DIY mouse pad by Amanda Rydell

Short and sweet.

I hope your weekend is fabulous.
xx.

Friday Favorites no. 016 // links from the week

Popping by to share a random mix of links that I spotted this week:

This social media article really got me thinking.
And this article found me guilty – I really need to cultivate these habits for being punctual!
I really like these new stamps by Ann-Marie.
These cookies and cream cookies make me hungry!
Also, inspired what Sasha Farina did in this layout.
And by Amanda’s new Be Crafty blog.
I really want these new Wanderlust, Lemon Lush, and Essentials collections from Studio Calico.
I’m planning to print these note cards. Just because.

So snuggle up with a hot cuppa and click away!

I’ll be off to celebrate my busy Chinese New Year weekend (:

Post-a-Parcel | Christmas edition

24 December 2013

If you’re anything like me, each Christmas, you decide to start early on your Christmas gifts + wrapping. But somehow it happens later rather than sooner, and Christmas is just round the corner before you know it. Then it’s all a mad last-minute rush to get everything completed in time.

Since today is Christmas Eve (!!), I thought I’d share the packaging that I did for Post-a-Parcel a couple of weeks back. Earlier in December, I had the really fun opportunity to participate in Nia Neve’s Post a Parcel exchange. Post-a-Parcel is an international gift exchange of sorts, where you are paired with a partner and send each other five items. You can check out Nia’s blog post here where she explains more about Post-a-Parcel, or search #postaparcel on Instagram to see more inspiring packaging!

Aside from getting to go to the post office to send out my parcel, packaging these little parcels was one of my favorite parts. Brown paper packages tied up with string are some of my favorite things indeed.

I used some colorful twine from American Crafts. Then completed the package with a tag from Crate Paper’s Sleigh Ride collection.

Simple but classic.

I hope this post has inspired you to finish up your Christmas preparations pronto. Happy holidays!
