Our girls are SPOILED ROTTEN...

This month our girls had the privilege to work with many amazing sponsors.  They were lucky enough to use the AWESOME Punky Sprout books, Tattered Angels, Love My Tapes and Sakura Pens.  Your gonna love these books and how they turned out.  We are blown away at the talent oozing from our DT. 

First up for these amazing albums is Pattie Beltran using the Lil Critter line... 

 

Pattie this is GREAT!!  Love it all!!

Thanks again to our AMAZING sponsors!!  For some more inspiration check out the Punky Sprouts, Love My Tapes and Tattered Angels blogs!!

Wall Art by Erin Yamabe...

When you love something enough you want it to be a part of your daily life and that is how we feel about our designs... Erin made this adorable wall hanging for her daughters room.  Lil Critter is the most adorable and fresh little hedgehogs EVER.  Not to mention the fruit trees... a perfect addition to those little guys.

 
This scene is so great with those scallop hills, tree and not to mention that sun... CUTE!!

  
All that stitching around the scallops and the edges... OMGosh!!

Bows in the hedgehogs hair...A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E

 

 

 
Border punches make me HAPPY!!  Love that detail.

The sun is defiantly my favorite part of this project.  The dimension and added glitter add a gorgeous finishing touch.  

Lil' Critter is one of our favorite lines from our CHA winter release.  We will be having a 6 week contest coming at the end of the month so here is your teaser... stock up on all the current MLS papers and embellishments for a chance to win $200 of MLS product!!!

This is thinking out of the box to the extreme...

Words can not even begin to explain the awesomeness of this project!!  I think my heart skipped a beat the moment I saw it.  

Look at what Melanie Stanczyk made from the Lil Critter line...
