Looking for an alternative to the same old Valentine's Day cards?
Check this out!
Using one of our own fabulous scrap packs from Walmart and the Heidi Grace Template Project Pack, we created the most festive of little boxes to share with our favorite daycare cuties!
Just trace the template onto any papers you prefer, cut them out, and fold! You can embellish your little gift boxes any way you like. We made simple little flowers with a hand cut heart in the middle of each.
And just what do you fill these boxes of love with?
Rather than adding to the sugar high the kids will already be on, we chose to pack our mini-boxes with an assortment of fun finds.
We just went to our local supermarket and picked up balloons, bubbles, bouncy balls, jelly bracelets, jiggly lizards and an assortment of cute little stickers. The kiddos are sure to love these little boxes that came straight from our hearts!
Comment on this post for a chance to win one of two Heidi Grace Mini Box Template Project Packs used in this project! Winners will be announced Friday, February 17th, 2012. (Sorry, no international entries will be accepted.)
Happy Friday everyone! Here's a chance to win a selection of Flea Market product that is about to become a little harder to find. As of this week it has been refreshed by Antique Paperie in JoAnn Fabric and Craft Larger Superstores. The new collections are amazing, but with a lovely collection like Flea Market, we're often sad to see it go...
Did you have a favorite Flea Market item or make something particularly memorable with it? We'd love to see it! Remember all those wonderful home projects Seven Sisters did? Just imagine what you could do if you won all this product!!
Comment and tell us which grouping you would rather have, one or two, by Tuesday, February 14th! Winners will be announced that day. (International entries will be accepted.)

And to energize your crafting resolutions we'd like to present the Heidi Grace Designs collections Daydream and Tweet Memories:
Here's the best news, you don't have long to wait before these hit stores! Start checking at your local Jo-Ann Craft and Larger Superstore the first week in February to get your hands on the hundreds of items available from these collections.
Which one are you going to be most eager to see?
We have some lucky ladies here at Colorbök who are expecting and what better way to welcome a little one into the world than with some adorable (and stylish!) hand-decorated onesies?!
I love these fabrics and was so excited for an excuse to use them, and so were some of my fellow designers.
For these onesies, I created patches out of individual icons or sets of icons in the pattern. This is a great way to use any scraps left over from a larger project!
Before you sew tip: Sew a piece of fabric slightly larger than the patch to the inside of the onesie when sewing on the patch. This will prevent any wrinkling as you sew. Simply trim off any excess from around the stitching on the inside once you are done.
We hope that you have as much fun crafting with our fabrics as we did!
Congratulations to all of the mothers-to-be out there...and wishing everyone a very happy New Year!
Celebrate the Season with some holiday crafting! It can be difficult to find the time to craft this time of year, but we hope that these quick projects will help inspire you.
How cute are these little trees?! Mix and match various papers to create a unique forest of your own!
Who doesn't love a personalized gift box or bag? Simply cover an existing box, or create a box out of left over corrugate or card stock and cover it with the papers of your choice.
Visit the open stock paper section at your local Jo-Ann Craft and Larger Superstores to find these and other Precious Moments papers.
