peonies.. o how I love

I love love love peonies... they are defiantly my favorite flower! I was on etsy and found this great little shop inspired by peonies...

Take a look at eclu, they do custom orders on clutches and they make shoe clips :)

How cute is this stuff! I cant wait for summer, I will definitely be purchasing one of these beauties... grey with a yellow peony!

box o letters

My craft / fabric / box of ideas for things... boxes and bags are filling up our spare bedroom! I decided before I buy or collect anything else, I would go thought my stuff and give it away or do something with it!

I bought a old board game called PROBE for $ 5 at a thrift store a while back. The game consists of these cute letter cards A-Z! Soooo many options with these! I think it would be super cute for a wedding by using to find your name to see what table your at.

I decided to make a jewelery stand. The game comes with a holder for the letter so I used that and linked my necklaces through the holes on the stand.

I also made this you & me for our dresser.

What would you do with the letter cards?

I want spring.. I want spring!

Has anyone ever been into a terrain store by urban outfitters? I just heard of them ...and if I was lucky enough to have a green thumb this is were you would find me! Terrain is eye candy for your garden!!! I would probably spend way to much money at this place so its a good thing plants aren't my thing.

I love the lanterns! Soo pretty.

I love these terrariums... so much fun. They range from $24- $50.

This below is a vertical plant holder. Love it. I think it would even be neat lying down on a table :)

I cannot wait for spring... Just the thought of green grass gives me shivers.. and not the cold ones :)

next day flyers

When me and mr. kipp were engaged we found out from my cousins this terrific website to print stuff for cheap!

We decided we would make our own invitations and have them printed out... :) I was inspired by these photo's below...

After showing mr. kipp these photos he decided he would tackle making our picture for the invitation!!! Because he usually isn't interested in doing anything like this I was really surprised! After a long time on paint (yes, the classic paint program on every computer), he showed me the final product.... and it was perfect! I love it! Here it is :)

Isn't he just awesome :)

After we were married we also designed a postcard to send out to our guests as a thank you! We were really happy the way they turned out...and also how they were sooooooo affordable!

If you ever need anything printed.. they do it all! And for a great price!

fingerprint.. jewelery

While searching on etsy I found a jewelery designer who can take a fingerprint and create beautiful custom jewelery!

:

They send you an Impression Kit in the mail. Once you receive it, imprint your finger and/or your loved ones finger separately. Then you mail it back to them and they make a wax form from the impression material. HOW COOL!

If only I would have seen these before we got married... love the fingerprint inside the ring! Such a fun and unique idea!

fabric

How cool would it be to design your own fabric and have it printed?! While researching I came across this website!

http://www.spoonflower.com/

With spoonflower you can upload a digital photograph, scan some art work, or upload a design you have created in photoshop or illustrator! There are some really neat, weird, and very creative prints. Here's some I thought were fun!

Yards vary from $18 to $38, but with your own design on fabric in your home... whats more cool?
