Hi creative friends,
We’ve stepped into June with the release of our brand-new Craft Room kit, The Summer House, and what a refreshing breath of seaside inspiration it has brought with it!
This Summer House is all about celebrating the gentle beauty of a slower, simpler season. Inspired by breezy afternoons, blooming cottage gardens, and the charm of a vintage, retro inspired summer retreat, this collection is perfect for creating romantic, nostalgic projects.
You can watch a sneak peek of The Summer House kit below…
Nicola and Lauren’s Sunday Live ‘Craft & Chat’
We kicked off the week with another fabulous Facebook Live ‘Craft & Chat’, hosted by Nicola and Lauren.
It was such a joy to see so many of our Craft Room members joining in…. especially those who are new to our community!
These Live sessions are always filled with giggles, creative tips, and that warm-hearted community spirit we all cherish.
During the Live, Nicola created a Summer House-shaped, coastal-themed ring-bound journal.
Each page is beautifully adorned with layered clusters using elements from the new kit, while still leaving space for journaling…. perfect for capturing summer memories.
Lauren wowed us with her stunning coastal wreath, made by artfully layering fussy cuts from the kit with netting and muslin for a soft, beachy vibe.
It now hangs proudly on her front door, welcoming summer in true shabby chic style.
If you missed the live, don’t worry…. Craft Room members can replay the full Live for the remainder of June.

Lauren ~ Shabby Chic Sundae
Lauren continued to inspire us this week by sharing a crafting prompt with our Craft Room members…. for a sweet and simple whimsical sailboat.
Sometimes it can be overwhelming trying to figure out where to begin, so the prompt is intended to give everyone a place to start and uses only a few materials.
Lauren also kindly shared a quick tutorial for her sailboat on YouTube HERE.
Lauren’s dedication to exploring every corner of the new Summer House kit and helping our community dive into it with confidence and joy is something we’re so grateful for.
