Sweet Sugarbelle

One craft that I have always wanted to improve my skills at is cake decorating.  After seeing the Sweet Sugarbelle booth at CHA I can add cookie decorating to that bucket also!

One thing that I really like about the kit from Sweet Sugarbelle is that she shows you how to use the same cookie cutter shape for multiple images.  For example, when I first looked at the balloon shape all I could see was a balloon . . . but turn it on its side and it is now the base for the pirate or whale cookie!

It kind of takes me back to the days before we all owned a die cutter and we tried to create images/animals out of the basic paper punches we had.  And now all of your cookies cutters have additional uses.

Buttons Galore

One of the booths I spent some time admiring at CHA was the Buttons Galore booth.  Buttons in every color of the rainbow!!!!

The displays showed how to use buttons for cards, gift bags, scrapbook layouts and home decor items.

Not only do they have fabulous colors of buttons, but they also carry buttons for so many themes.  I love the paws in the Pets line.  These would work great for some school spirit themed projects I have in mind.  Many schools that have an animal as their mascot will use the paw print icon for embellishments.

These baseball buttons might be just what I need for a wedding gift for a baseball loving couple.

Decorate a plain frame with buttons in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes.

Wouldnt this canvas and button project be perfect for Valentines Day or a wedding or anniversary gift.

I really love how they used the star buttons on this flag.  What a great idea for a project for this summer.

If you love what you saw here, then be sure to check out Buttons Galore . . . and tell them Shawn sent you!
