Stamping With Lotta Jansdotter

Recently Katie and I went to the Craft Gym (yes, can you believe this actually exists? Idea #483 that I wish I would have thought of.) Lotta Jandotter was there promoting her new book. Consequently, lots of crafty women, including me and Katie showed up to play with paint.

These are a few of the swatches we made with potato stamps. My mom used to make us potato stamps when I was little, and now they're how I decorate wrapping paper every Christmas.

Carton Craftiness

Katie and I just launched this spiffy new brand site for the California Milk Processor Board (the "got milk?" people.)

Being the crafty girls we are, we decided it would be cool to create some projects people could make from their empty milk cartons and jugs.

We designed the projects, cut, glued, taped, painted and even photographed the final products in our office (which looked like a pre-school classroom for much of March.) Fittingly, the site was launched on Earth Day.

Here are a few of recycled creations. See them all and download the instructions for each of them here.
