Hi creative friends,
February continues to bloom so beautifully inside The Craft Room, and this week we are featuring four incredibly talented Design Team members… Nicola, Agnieszka, Sandra and Caroline… all creating with our February kit, Apple Blossom Farm.
Each project captures a different facet of this gentle country collection… storytelling, upcycling, dimensional crafting and thoughtful handmade details.
Let’s take a closer look.
Nicola – Shabby Journals Crafts & More
If you’ve been part of our community for any length of time, you’ll know that Nicola has an extraordinary gift for 3D storytelling… and Apple Blossom Farm was the perfect canvas for her talents.
Nicola began with the farmhouse, carefully constructing a beautiful 3D replica… complete with chickens out the front and a winding country lane stretching behind it.
But she didn’t stop there… she went on to build the dairy in box form, incorporating cows, countryside backdrops and layered details to create a complete farmstead scene.
Her diorama feels like stepping into a tiny storybook world… every element thoughtfully placed, every detail lovingly considered.
Nicola has such a rare talent for transforming flat papers into dimensional stories.
Her dioramas don’t just display the kit… they bring it to life.
We are always in awe of the imagination, precision and heart she pours into her creations.

Agnieszka LaLoggia
Agnieszka began the week with the sweetest little Valentine project, using my free Rose Hearts printable.
She transformed the design into a heart-shaped mini book filled with pockets and tuck spots… such a clever and charming way to reinterpret a printable.
Next, she turned her attention to Apple Blossom Farm, printing one of the coordinating papers onto printable canvas and wrapping it around a canvas frame to create a mini artwork for her bathroom.
Agnieszka has such a wonderful eye for upcycling and reimagining materials.
She doesn’t just “use” a kit… she experiments with surfaces, textures and formats in ways that inspire us all to think outside the page.
Her projects always feel fresh, thoughtful and beautifully practical.

Sandra – Atelier Vintage Rose
Sandra has created not one, but two absolutely gorgeous loaded boxes this week… and the detail she includes in every project is simply breathtaking.
Her first box features the farm truck from the fussy cuts as the star focal point.
The second showcases the farmhouse.
Both boxes are beautifully embellished and thoughtfully designed with tuck spots and pockets built into the structure to hold extra ephemera.
Inside, she has included handmade cards, notebooks and a delightful tag book created from the coordinating tag set in the kit.
Every layer reveals something new.
Sandra has such a gift for combining structure with beauty.
Her projects are always abundant with detail, yet never overwhelming… each piece perfectly balanced and lovingly assembled.
She truly elevates paper crafting into something heirloom-worthy.

Caroline ~ Carolee Crafts
Caroline has taken upcycling to a whole new level by transforming a simple tube into the most fabulous desk caddy.
She covered the base with papers from Apple Blossom Farm and created a sweet focal scene on the front using the farmhouse fussy cut and coordinating embellishments.
Inside, she’s included practical and decorative elements… note cards with decorative fronts and lined backs, adorable double-layer tags and charming farm-themed envelopes.
It’s both functional and beautiful… exactly the kind of project we love to see.
Caroline has such a wonderful knack for turning everyday items into purposeful pieces for crafting.
Her upcycling projects remind us that creativity isn’t about buying more… it’s about seeing potential in what we already have.
