Hello Fellow Doodlers!
Felt Sunflower: The Sunflowers are coming out in many yards in the USA and we would surely love to keep these amazing flowers around all year buy they do not dry into a pristine usable bloom; so the next best thing is to make some for decorations. So, for us felt-fanatics, Emily and Jaime are the hosts of “Everyday Art” and have a lovely Sunflower tutorial for us to follow. Their art may be fun DIY house projects, handmade items, delicious meals or great memories with their kids. Their blog is filled with amazing tutorials and you can follow them on Facebook and Pinterest to keep up with this team. Thanks ladies for sharing your talents.

Also, if you go through your favourite stamping blogs, you will probably find that they all have something in common; they all have nice pictures of their cards. It does not matter how talented you are, or how nice your cards look in real life, if you cannot portray this on your blog. You'll be shown that you do not need a fancy camera or photography skills to do this.
Summertime is a time when most of us schedule trips and vacations. This little suitcase by Anna-Karin will keep all your memories of your travels in one amazing place!!

She even stamped the inside of the case and made a wonderful tag book to put inside. For more info and pictures visit her blog, Layers of Ink.
