Must-see munchkins!

A MEllen custom design to swoon over...

MAN cards!

That's.... M-A-N cards, made by MEllen ... I think they turned out great!

for business...

for leisure...

Just for fun for decorating

I snapped this shot off of this month's Southern Living magazine. If you look closely you'll see a napkin ring/place card made out of a window pain ring (not really sure what to call it!)... do you see?

It's just one of these around a napkin with decorative paper for the name tag. Love it!

Both of these sets are from BB&Beyond - so easy!

There's a bunch coming.. so much to share!

But 1st!...

(and I know you're never to start a sentence with "but")...

My New Sweet Caroline is hosting a MEllen giveaway!

A Christmas Collage card set is one of the gifties... check out the blog to see the other free note card set, and leave Shannon a note to win!

Definitely a fad..

I'm finding paper wreathes everywhere! These are in the background of a Pottery Barn Catalog - love!

I think these are my favorite and I have two side by side doors that they will look beautiful on in our living room... hopefully I'll get to it this weekend, and if so, will post a pic!

Timeless

There is something fantastically fresh about these formal invitations.

I couldn't quit looking over each line of calligraphy, it's absolutely beautiful.

great invitation choice Natalie!

This paper wreath is fabulouso!

My good friend Patrice says she just bought an old dictionary ($1) and a foam wreath "thing" to glue to...

precious baby Lauralie is not necessary for the project!

a new MEllen must-see

I had the delight of finding My New Sweet Carolina blog this evening.

It just so happens she's a MEllen fan.

And, it just so happens she's an Anthropologie fan!

How neat is this magazine scrap tree topper made from the latest Anthropologie catalog?... not so scrappy after all.
