Sassafrasing.

One of my favorite booths at CHA this year was Sassafras. I must have gone back to visit like ten times. LOL. I loved the display. (Actually, their set-up was my very favorite and the most creative, in my opinion.) I loved the new lines. And I loved the staff and design team. They were just so much fun.

So I was SO excited when Studio Calico included some of the new lines in the past few kits. I let the Vintage Yummy just *stew* on my workspace for a bit... letting the inspiration sink in... let the creative ideas run wild in my head. Tee hee.

I made this dog treat container with some cardstock stickers (and Stickles!):

(The little dog is from K&Company. Thickers from American Crafts.)

I think the items I was looking forward to most from CHA were the die cut cards. LOVE. THOSE. I was STOKED when they came in a March add-on. Now I can't wait to get the other two sets. :D

I loved them so much that I really wanted them in my "new and improved" scrap space. Lucky for me, they were a *perfect* fit in my canvas bins that hold my punches. AND... (this is my favorite part), I didn't even have to give them labels because the shapes are perfect for what the bins are containing! (YAY!) Circles for circle punches. Squares for square punches. Flowers for floral (okay, I also have stars and hearts) punches! I smile every time I look at them.

And one of my new favorite things in my scrap space... My "I Heart Art" frame. This idea came to me as I sat in The Container Store 2008 Fiscal Year meeting. LOL. (I *was* listening too!) I came right home from the meeting to make this...

And this frame became the inspiration for my "new" room. I can't wait to post photos of my room. But this frame's colors and "vintage yummyness" go very well. :)

*sigh*

I love Sassafras.
