Crafty inspiration from Blogland

Even though several of my beloved magazines are folding, thank goodness there's still more than enough inspiration to be had in blogland! Last week I saw these Bookmark Bijoux from Andrea Singarella and was smitten! I already had all of the materials and I spent a happy hour playing around with two of my favorite things: velvet ribbon and vintage bling.
I love an instant gratification craft! Fun, easy, and pretty results.

More great craftiness from blogland last week:
  • This gorgeous pearly heart from Heather Bullard. Aren't the colors of those pearls just gorgeous?
  • Joli Paquet is back! I loved their Christmas projects so I can't wait to see what they have cooked up for Valentine's Day. Tiffany Kirchner posted this darling vintage-style pop-up card.
  • I swoon over these velvet-and-pearl strawberries from Holly Doodle Designs! I want to learn to make these; I don't think they're too difficult, I just need to find a pattern and some pretty velvet.
What about you, friends--have you been doing any crafting lately?

  1. Makes me wonder if the reason alot of these magazines are going out of business is that we have so much inspiration on the internet and on blogs and such. I know for me, I don't subscribe to magazines like I use to because I see it all online.

  2. I pretty sure martha has a pattern for a strawberry "pin cushion" somewhere.
    Ok, I went and found it before I left, lol. I swear her search engine is the pits, I couldnt find it all on her site, but googled it up in 3 seconds.
