Whenever you see good design, you just can't help but admire it!

When we were in Hawaii just after Christmas, we found the Honolulu Cookie Company. Now they make pretty fine cookies (their coconut shortbread is to die for!), but what I had to have was a box full of their cookies - because of the *box*! This box has lots of moving parts and is heavy. There is a little spot of velcro to keep it together - it should have a padlock...!

And how can you resist a little pineapple shaped cookie? They're so inviting. Another brilliant design element.

It must have cost a small fortune to produce these boxes. I have to stand up and applaud them for "going for the gusto"!

Very cool.
Very yummy.
Very creative!

Winterfest 11 on Two Peas

Are you a member of the Two Peas Forum? Design Team Member Deborah March has posted a challenge on her Two Peas Blog. The rules are simple...her challenge is to create a card incorporating favourite quotations/sentiments (they don't have to be Quietfire but it helps you if it is!). The randomly chosen winner will received two Quietfire Rubber Stamps. Read all Deborah's details here.

Good luck and Happy Creating!

Heart are Trump Swap

Several weeks ago I was involved in a skinny book swap organized by Jeneen Weekes, Queen of the local ATC Swaps. I met Jeneen several years ago in one of my bookbinding classes. I quickly learned she is able to pack more into an ATC surface than anyone I know!
Swap participants were spread far and wide and I had the pleasure of meeting several of them for coffee the day Jeneen first presented the bound books. Here was my contribution. Thanks to Jeneen for organizing this wonderful swap!

Hope Perches

This card is this week's Designer's Project! I just could not stop myself from using the new rubber and these gorgeous Kanban papers! We'll return to the regularly scheduled real designers next week!

All the directions and supplies for this card are listed here!

Several of the Design Team Members have also had a chance to create using the new Quietfire Rubber. Keep your eyes on their blogs for the next few weeks!
