New Goodies + Mermaid Inspiration + More

Happy Weekend Everyone! We have lots of new goodies in the shop, but of course our favorite thing is the new Stencil Board Picado Cut Outs. They come in 5 sizes including a super tiny MICRO size, measuring just 1/4" x 3/8". SO CUTE! Wouldn't they be wonderful on our Mini DOTD Shrine Kits? The cool shrines above were created by the talented Sherry Matthews for our 2013 swap. You can find the whole album on Facebook for even more inspiration here.

Inspiration By Rose Mary Gossman!  

We are so in love with this stunning Mermaid Santos by Rose Mary Gossman! The shells, seahorses, and coral bits add a beautiful, natural touch. And she's so perfect tucked inside that awesome shrine. Amazing job Rose Mary!
