{Book Review} Silhouette Art Book by Vana Chupp of Le Papier Studio!

If you haven't heard the story of how I met Vana from Le Papier Studio, please read here. Vana was the very first Etsy shop I discovered, thanks to a great friend of mine who gave me an art print from her shop! Vana holds a special place in my heart!

I am so thrilled that her book, Silhouette Art has just been published by Chronicle Books! She sent me a sample to review and it wasn't at all what I expected, in a great way! I thought it would be more of a coffee table book showing ideas of how to display silhouette art, however it is more of a workbook including papers, patterns & instructions to make your own! Love it!


Silhouettes are classic, and oh so popular right now! We've designed a few party collections using silhouettes inspired by Vana! There are so many possibilities for this classic form of personalization! If you haven't visited Vana's shop, Le Papier Studio yet, you must! Here is a little sampling of her fabulous silhouette products! (check out the adorable new plates!)

Order your copy of Vana's BOOK here on Amazon!
You can also become a fan of Silhouette Art, here on Facebook!
Congratulations, Vana!

{Good Books} Kids Parties by Lisa Atwood

A few months ago, I mentioned a fabulous book that Jordan at Polka Dot Prints recommended to me. The minute she sent the link, I ordered it! Kid's Parties by Lisa Atwoodis a gem! I poured over the pages when it arrived and just realized that I never told you all about it!
This book is full of eye candy. Every page is absolutely gorgeous! I dream of creating a book similar to this one day....fabulous styling, recipes, ideas and photography!
