It's my Grandmas 100th Birthday!

  Today is such a special day... my grandma just turned 100!!!Here's the card I made for her.  I wanted it to be special, and I don't think they keep 100th Birthday cards on the shelves at stationery stores. (I used the new high tea papers, and cut out the text with my silhouette)

My grandma is truly an inspiration, I could go on for hours! This is my mom's mom (a bunch of you have met my mom Sandi working at CHA) I took this photo of my grandma at Christmas when she was a young 99! That's my cousins baby she is holding, her first great grandchild. She could not get enough of him, oh this picture says so much to me...Happy 100th Birthday Gram!

Oh and I had to post this one. My grandma is on the left, she used to have her hair that silverish color, and is always dressed so stylish! They must be celebrating my great grandma's birthday here.

Wallpaper ideas??

I've been needing some new dining chairs for a while now. I've had my eye on some mid-century modern chairs, (I love so many classic chairs from Knoll) I just can't decide on which style since I'll have them forever. Last week I was at an estate sale and found these vintage teal vinyl chairs. There were actually 6 in the set in great condition for a amazing price!! So I grabbed them, they are really fun to have for now in our place. After living with them for a while, I decided it's time to change my lime green wall (just a little bright for me). I've been thinking about wallpapering it. Of course this is when I wish I could print my Hambly Designs on wallpaper- but that's not going to happen....Anyone have any suggestions??? Or advice for hanging wallpaper for the first time? 

VOUGE Patterns

We don't normally post some of the press we get,  but we thought this was really fun! VOGUE Patterns, a sewing magazine featured our rub-ons & sewing stickers as editors choice. It's a great to see our Hambly products shown in a new magazine!  Plus it's cool they have a picture of the rub-ons on the DIY Bangles. This is an easy & popular project if you haven't tried it yet.  (You can see a video half-way down in this previous post from CHA)
