Shabby Chic Embroidered Trim

📸 Caption:
Need a little creative spark? ✂️💖

I’ve been playing with embroidered trims in a few of my latest projects, and I have to say… they add such a soft, elegant touch to anything you’re working on—whether it’s a mini album, a handmade card, or even a keepsake box.

I just finished sharing a few of these project ideas (with photos!) and some easy tips on how to use trims in your own crafting. If you love that romantic, shabby chic look, you’ll want to peek at this. 🪡🌸

Let’s make something beautiful today. 💕

New Godzilla Figure Shop with Kaiju Merch

Did you know my son started his own Godzilla-inspired shop? 😱💚 He’s been quietly building up a collection of Kaiju action figures and designing his own t-shirts (like this 🔥 “G” tee)! Sizes run from S to 4XL and more designs are coming soon.

I’m so proud of him and would love for you to take a peek at what he’s creating. If you’re into Godzilla or have a Kaiju-loving friend, go check it out! Every view, comment, or share means the world to a small business just starting out. 💪✨

Handmade Memorydex Box Album Using ‘Tasty Treats by Decor8yourlife’

✨ NEW PROJECT ✨
I dusted off some of my memorydex dies and created something sweet and special — a handmade Memorydex Box Album using my Tasty Treats by Decor8yourlife 5×5 paper collection! 🍓💚

Each card is one of a kind, layered with embellishments from my stash and my shop (think florals, appliques, pearls and bows!) — and they all tuck neatly inside this custom gift box I made from scratch. 💌 Details in my blog.

And if you want a closer look, I’ve shared a full project video over on my channel 🎥 (Decor8yourlife 💕)

Tell me in the comments — have you ever made a memdex box album? Or is this your sign to finally try one?
