Happy Monday all ya'll crafty peeps! Well, Swap-o-Rama at the Renegade Craft Fair was a huge success (even if it was Carmageddon here in Los Angeles).
Here are a couple of young designers that made hats inspired by the one on the cover of my book Sweater Surgery and tried their hand at applique using the Sizzix Cupcake die. Pretty awesome huh?
This seasoned crafter kicked it up a notch and added the wings to her cupcake. I would have to say the cupcake die was the favorite of the day with the skull and cross bones coming in a close second.
Are you in the Chicago area??????
Will you be attending the Chicago Craft and Hobby Super Show July 21-24??????

I'm so glad you posted this Stefanie! I've been checking out everyone's photos to see what I missed. I was soooo disappointed to miss this Swap. (wisdom teeth removed) Looks like your applique station was as popular as ever! Hope to cross paths with you sometime soon! :-)
