A Cool Idea + CK Houston

Amib


Ami B had a clever idea for working with type cases that have skinny vertical spaces (similar to the one empty one I posted last Friday ). She printed the "B" onto cardstock and cut it to fit into the sections. I completely love the idea of doing this sort of thing in some of those spots and playing around with the idea of "pieces of a whole."


If you end up playing along with the weekend creative project I would love to see what you create.

Made it safe + sound to Houston yesterday for Creating Keepsakes University. Looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones as people come together to create and share their stories. 


Have a great rest of the week + weekend! Be back on Monday.

    Ali, not inspired by your weekend creative post, but by the tray when it appeared in your book, I made this {scroll down post, sorry} for favourite foodie labels and such, for hanging in my kitchen :)

    hi ali!
    i finished the weekend creative project (a week late!) and i'm so excited to have such a cool piece of art hanging in my house! it's the first thing we see when returning home and the last thing we see before leaving, which i think is just great.
    and if any of your readers from saint louis are reading this, i picked up my type drawer from the antique mall off tesson ferry, between 270 and 141. i can't think of it's name now, but it's big and the only one out there...
    here's a link to my posting about it, with pics...

    I found your blog on Google Reader and I wanted to tell you how talented you are. I always have high hopes for scrapbooking, but they always fizzle out. Your's are beautiful.
