Today we're introducing a few more of our blog affiliates and sharing their awesome projects made with the new nesting dies. We at Lifestyle Crafts are amazed at all of the creativity on the web and think it's wonderful how easy it is to share great ideas to inspire others. Here are a few blogs you should be reading up on!

1. Lolly Jane: This blog is compiled of twin sisters Kelli & Kristi who blog about all things "crafty, cute, and creative!" They love to share how they transform spaces with DIY techniques.  Check out this amazing anniversary cake they made with the nesting dies. See their post here.

2. Positively Splendid: Amy, the author of Positively Splendid says it best on her blog: " My goal is for my blog to be a haven of crafting and DIY inspiration, and a place where creative people of all skill levels can come and feel right at home."  This garland she made with the new nesting dies isn't just your typical garland... check out that detail!  What a fabulous project and we're glad to have her on board!  Check out her post and tutorial here.

3. 504 Main: This blog is run by Holly and in her own words, "I am a not-so-domestic diva, turned full-on domestic diva!"  504 Main is her place to share tips on entertaining, cooking, creating.  She made pretzel fries for her project!  I had never heard of these but will be trying them out soon!  Don't you love how she used the Fry Box to put them in? She even letterpressed the tag. Genius!

4. Crap I've Made: Do you need a blog to inspire you and make you laugh?  Char is the author of Crap I've Made and blogs about all of the projects she makes, good and bad!  She has a real talent for making things look fabulous.  Check out her soap labels (made out of vinyl) and dish towell (cut out with fabric) here.

As you know, there are thousands of possibilities when it comes to projects to make with the new nesting release. Design team member Shaunte Wadley made this amazing Mini-Album to document a day of flying kites with her family. The larger pieces in the dies are the perfect size for base pieces and the smaller pieces are great for journaling blocks and embellishments.  Listed below are a few of the shapes that she used for this project:

Nesting Eyelet Squares
Nesting Lace Squares
Nesting Frame 3
Nesting Frame 4
Nesting Lace Circles
Nesting Diamond
TIki Alphabet

Would you have thought to make a mini-album with these shapes?  I don't think I would have. What a great idea that can be repeated over and over again for all of your mini-albums!
