Over the years, I have made many things from coffee filters including angels and flowers but you MUST check out this amazing Rose Bouquet made from coffee filters. I originally found them at www.craftster.com but they originate from Sarah Jane at www.crafteteria.blogspot.com The coffee filters are cut into shape and assembled and then the petals have been colored with paint to give them the amazing watercolor effect. They are pretty enough to use in a wedding bouquet or to make a bouquet for your home. These are stunning! >>Heidi

My project pick this week is www.ilovetocreate.com. As I was browsing on this website, I came across a project that is one of the favorites in our studio created by my Creativity Sister eco-artist Heidi Borchers! This Button Frame is loved by everyone from kids to adults! Everyone loves buttons and probably has lots of buttons sitting in drawers. This is a project that is great for all ages and the kids would love to help you make this as a special gift! >>Candace

My project pick of the week comes from www.tentwostudios.com. These are paper dolls made from jumbo craft sticks and Bits & Pieces Digital Sheets made by Ten Two Studios. Put them all together and you have Corinne's Digi-Dolls. >>Tiffany

Anti-bacterial products - We have been taught in the past few years to be a germ- obsessed society. Research shows that we are killing the germs that we need in order to have healthy immune systems. Our overuse of anti-bacterial soaps allows strains of viruses and germs to mutate into new strains. Advertising has convinced us that these are products that are "necessary for our health" while the evidence shows exactly the opposite is true. Read more - GO>>

My pick for the final few is www.klutz.com. I can't begin to tell you how many Klutz books we have purchased over the years for our own fun. This amazingly creative company has taken many crafts from the past and lots of new creative fun and put loads of creativity into fun and clever books. You are never disappointed! Even though you can find this amazing line of books in book stores and craft retail stores, you must go to their site and actually check out their entire line. Crafts, Art & Drawing, Games & Puzzles, Travel, Science, Express Yourself. I'm quite sure they designed their line for children but their collection nurtures the inner child in you! >>Heidi

My pick this week is Angel Cards designed by Kathy Tyler and Joy Drake at www.innerlinks.com. Angel Cards have been delighting and uplifting people throughout the world for over 25 years. Use them for support, guidance, and gifts. Each set of 72 playfully illustrated cards depicts a unique angelic quality. I pick three cards each day and use the words on those cards to think about throughout my day. >>Candace

My pick for the final few today is www.tentwostudios.com

Yep! They are also my project pick of the week! I just love their digital pages which are perfect for those who want it RIGHT NOW! Just select what design page you want, put it in the on-line shopping cart, pay, and check your email for the download link. I had a really difficult time deciding what I wanted because they have so many great digital choices. But decide I did! I purchased their Plum Passion Bits & Pieces so I can make Digi-Dolls this week! Wooo Hoo! >>Tiffany
