Guest Designer

Look who is our talented guest this week!

Hi there! My name is Yvonne and I live in sunny Singapore. I have a thing for travel-related paraphernalia so I really enjoyed upcycling this brown paper bag. Just perfect for adding some travel-sized items to bid a loved one Bon Voyage! Come visit me at my blog Do More With Less where I share weekday creative inspiration, tips and tutorials.

Prize

Shabby Apple is giving away a $50 gift certificate to the winner this week (US address only)

Here's a little about Shabby Apple

At Shabby Apple, we believe in both femininity and feminism. As feminine women, we create clothing that is artful in design and crafted with a vintage-style flare. Each piece is carefully constructed to both flatter a women’s figure and maintain her mystery. As feminists, we created a company that is women-owned and operated and that donates to help other women start their own businesses. With our old-fashioned style and modern ideals, we believe the best is yet to come!

You really gotta read our instruction carefully to meet the criteria for this week.

Next, it is special also our Design Team is doing product reviews for a fabulous craft store

PLEASE READ!!!!!

Ok, back to the challenge, each designer on our team will pick one item as the required item to use on your project, I am not going to tell you the item here, you will have to pop over to the DT's individual blog to check it out! You don't have to use all 4 items, just ONE would do, but of course you could use more than one item if you wish to.
 Please also point out to us (somewhere in your post where we could read) which item you are using, you know sometimes it is hard to see from the photo.

Ok, ready?

 Let's get started!!!!
