Show and Tell: Charm Pack Fun


Diane Muldoon from O'Quilts whipped up this fun pouch the other day with just a few of her oilcloth charm pack bits.
I love the clear vinyl back, you get the pretty and even more practical when you get to see the bags contents. This is great for crafting on the go or storage.
See how Diane did it here: O'quilts!

Do you have a project to share? Just email me at Kelly@modernjune.com

Great Idea: Wedding

Meet Alexis and Gabriel Najarro!!  She and her handsome groom had a destination wedding a few months back, they enjoyed Zama Beach Club in Isla Mujeres, Mexico. White sandy beaches and roses!!! 

How fun is this destination wedding table? Alexis bought yards and yards of blue hibiscus and created scalloped table toppers and runners for the reception! I love the charming and fun are the maracas?  I can see the guests on the dance floor now!
Alexis used scrapes from the runners and table toppers to make Gabriel and his groomsmen boutonnieres.

Join me in wishing the happy couple congratulations!
