Monogrammed Canvas + Giveaway with Cutting Edge Stencils
A few months ago I had the pleasure of trying out a beautiful stencil from Cutting Edge Stencils. I have never worked with stencils before and really didn’t know what to expect. I decided to start out small (although I did entertain the idea of doing a stenciled wall somewhere in my house but totally chickened out!) and used a large canvas that I had picked up at my local craft store. Cutting Edge Stencils has great video tutorials to help get you started, especially if you are beginner like me. I watched one first before I got started and I’m glad I did because it had some helpful tips. The stencil that I chose was the Casablanca Craft Stencil. I have always liked the quatrefoil pattern so this was perfect. After I painted my canvas with the stencil (I used just regular craft paint … [Read more...]
Custom Stamp Giveaway with PSA Essentials
A few weeks ago I was contacted by a super cool rep from PSA Essentials (check out her blog HERE) to review their unique custom stamps and I was really excited to accept.

The stamp comes ready to go, with black ink already assembled (although they offer a variety of other colors you can purchase) so you can start stamping right away. There's no assembly required!

Thank you so much to The Girl Creative for letting me be your guest today! I'm Melissa Stramel, a pattern and fabric designer and am so happy to be here. I wanted to let you know a little more about me and my business, Lilac Lane. I'm a mother to three beautiful children, ages 7, 6 and 4. They're close together and because of that they're also very close. It's so nice. You don't often see my oldest, Nathan, on patterns because, well, he's a boy. And my things are so very, very girly. He doesn't mind. When I went to college, I finished up with a Doctor of Pharmacy degree. It's a nice thing to be able to do now and then. But at heart, I've always been an artsy person.
