Celebrating National Craft Month!

Did you know that over 56% of US household craft each year? Crafting has many benefits, it has been shown to reduce stress, bring family members and friends closer together while learning new skills and it's fun!

I wanted to share a layout I made that also shows another of my favorite craft project, making decorative pillows. I'm not quite ready for the fashion world when it comes to sewing but I do love making pillows. So when my daughter's friend asked if I would make pillows for her daughter's baby room I was more than happy to.

Pillows for Jordan by Tena Ellison. Supplies - Cardstock: Bazzill; Patterned Paper: Crate Paper, My Little Shoebox; Alphas: Basic Grey; Pearl Flourish: Prima; Distress Ink: Ranger-Tim Holtz; Cuttlebug & Embossing Folder, Handmade flower.

There's lots of ways to get started so stop putting off learning something new, you'll be happy you did.
