Another Sucre Shop Giveaway

Last week I was looking in a box of stuff that still hasn't been unpacked since we moved in January. I know, I know...if I haven't used it yet, I probably don't miss it or need it. But here's the thing: opening the box was like getting a birthday present! I found two packs of Sucre Shop vintage style ice cream cups!

I remembered that the amazing and awesome Brooke of Sucre Shop had offered to send them to me back in November but I was actually at the hospital delivering my daughter when she sent them so they got packed away in the move.

We used them the other day at a dinner party and they were a hit with the kids and the adults alike -- especially the adults who had ten fewer dishes to do! Note we even used Sucre Shop's cute spoons -- my two year old had been dying to use them!

You too can use these cute ice cream cups! Enter to win the second pack of ten cups that I uncovered... a Rafflecopter giveaway

Good luck, enjoy, and thanks for the cool prize, Brooke!

P.S. The sprinkles in this picture are the best I've ever had. Check back for a posting about those sprinkles!

Stunning Paper Ice Cream

I love ice cream but what you might not know about me is that my second love is paper (I can probably speak for Bethany here and say she does too!). As designers how can you not and as designers how can we not be wowed by this amazing paint chip paper sculpture by Matthew Sporzynski (of Real Simple paper sculpture) which he created for a Sherwin Williams ad campaign (check out all the ads in the campaign here). Apparently it also appeared on the cover of Graphic Design USA, which I like to check out, but we actually stumbled upon it on this great craft blog, Craft.

I love these paper sculptures so much I have to share some of his other creations that somehow relate to ice cream...we make ice cream with milk and just honored National Strawberry Sunday Day so I think these work!
