A great spring project that’s super easy and pretty!
For this great idea (and gorgeous photos), I thank Elizabeth Goodman, creator of the very pretty "To Be Charmed" blog.The project's star component is Japanese Washi tape, which is like a decorative masking tape.

A little tangent – some awesome design on the silver screen
I saw Sherlock Holmes a while ago in Boston visiting my friend Liz, and we both ended up drooling over more than Robert Downey Jr. Both of us being RISD grads, the art at the end credits left us in our seats while audience rolled out.
