Come behind the scenes at The Surznick Common Room for a #CraftRoomTour and see Sarah's Pittsburgh office.
Our favorite thing about the office is our craft supply pegboard. It's bright and colorful, and the "HELLO!" at the top is always a nice welcome when we enter the room. Having a lot of our supplies visible and readily available keeps us excited to work on different projects.

Amy recreates the look of anime, Cardcaptor Sakura for #DIYTheLook
Sakura Cardcaptors is one of my favourite animes, which I watched every morning on TV when I was younger. Sakura’s costumes are iconic, and the fact that in the show they were made by her friend makes it very relevant to Cut out and Keep. Her style is feminine and fun, unlike anything people normally wear! The costumes were a big influence on my later interests in Lolita and Steampunk.

balletLorent invited us to their rendition of Snow White at the Edinburgh Festival Theatre for #CraftyInTheCity and inspired by the gorgeous forrest set from the ballet, we created a Jackalope Hat Stand you can easily recreate at home with any rabbit mask this Easter.

Kelly from Amourtera gives her friend Paige a makeover for this week's #MakeoverMonday.
She is effortlessly put together all the time; no one has urban streetwear down like Paige does. Besides having the most beautiful hair of all time, she knows how to style it to reach maximum potential. From letting it down to the double buns she ties on each side of her head- it's always looking popping.
