Spring is in the air

Using Easter photos of her son through the years, Kriss created this delightful accordion-folded book. What a great memory keeper – to have all the photos together! I thought too how organized Kriss must be to know where she kept all the photos in the first place. :)

Kitty domino pendant

Filed Under Cats, DT: Kriss, Jewelry | 6 Comments

Design Team Member Kriss created this lovely wearable piece of artwork using a domino. The view on the left shows all the wonderful beads she used to coordinate with what she stamped. The view on the right is a closeup – I love the three little dangling beads. Hmmm…does this mean a new outfit is in order…maybe a new pair of shoes even…
