Fun In the Sun Week

Summer is wrapping up and I have so enjoyed spending my days with my little girl. I'll certainly miss her when she heads back to school. My Fun in the Sun project today is representative of the sun, stars, and all things bright...the things that remind me of her :).

I used the darling new Wonder collection and have created an altered embroidery hoop for her bedroom. I began with muslin and a wood hoop, and then simply added embellishments and such to highlight my theme.

The Wonder chipboard has all sorts of sweet iconic images that are perfect for kids and the stages that they go through as they grow. I added the moon and stars and the tiny bird from the chipboard collection and love the touch of whimsy that they add. I also pulled in some shine by using the Wonder adhesive sequins...they are the most brilliant thing ever! And of course the sweet puffy cloud and heart stickers are irresistible and I couldn't help myself.

The Trinket Thickers chipboard alphabet might just be my most favorite yet and I knew instantly I wanted them to be my focal point and used them to spell out the word that reminds me of my daughter. I love all of the different patterns that create a cozy, homespun, eclectic feel. And, lastly I had to add the quote pulled from the Wonder Ephemera pack...such a great reminder each day, isn't it?
