We are getting ready for the upcoming Wedding Expo April 23rd & 24th. One of the most popular themes is "Cherry Blossom". For the invitations I cut the paper to fit a legal envelope. This is a great way to cut cost. You can get 3 invites using a 12x12 sheet of paper. We chose washi paper as a sleeve on both the invitations and the favors. This adds a beautiful accent and touch of color. The favor boxes were cut from the Accucut machine. Hope you are inspired by these ideas and will join us at the Wedding Expo.

Here's an easy and fun idea!

Here we chose an Easter theme.

Using glass bricks, window clings, and paper shreds. It's fast, fun and easy. And it looks great too!!!

Another beautiful centerpiece/favor using the clear tubes. Coby took the purple roses and mounted them on top of the stoppers using hot glue. Then wrapped the sheer ribbon around the tube. Gorgeous!

Here are some more clever ideas for Party favors and Centerpieces. We used Floral Aqua Tubes and filled them up with the new colored M&M's. The toppers on the aqua tubes are flowers from a Spring Garland we carry and the Lady Bugs are part of this years Spring assortment too.

Tubes! Check out these cool plastic tubes! They make great party favors and centerpiece ideas! For the girls or the guys! We just received new colored M&M's to fill the Tubes.

Check out these cute lanterns!

Water Marbles.....We have sold so many water marbles lately to our younger customers. Water marbles were designed originally for florist as a marble or rock replacement. These fun marbles come in a variety of color and when water is added they can keep your fresh floral arrangements alive in a fun pretty way. Most recently, our biggest client for these "Water Marbles" are the kids! When I asked a young one what they do with these marbles, they simply said, "I watch it grow. Then I stick my hands in it. They feel cool!" So there you have it. A new product used by florist, crafter's, and kids. Water Marbles are the Item of the Month in March. Two for $5. Come by and see this cool new product!

This is one of my favorite projects! Supplies for this project are watercolor postcard pad, aqua pens, watercolor pencils and a micro pen. The watercolor post cards work great with watercolor pencils. I first sketched my picture with the micron black pen, then colored in sections with the watercolor pencil. Finally, I blended the pencils with the aqua pen.

All of these supplies are small and easy to carry when traveling. They also serve as a souvenir and a journal of where you have been.
