“SWEETS” Banner for Candy Buffet

Hi all!! This is one of my absolute favorite projects - I made it for the sweets buffet at our wedding back in June!! I can't tell you why I'm just now posting about it (oh wait, I was busy with the wedding!) but here goes!!! I used a DCWV stack called Bella Armoire, which…

A New (old) Cuttlebug!

Now, to be sure, I am a HUGE cricut fan. I love love love my Cricut, but a girl's gotta expand her horizons.  Nowdays, there are tons of companies that make dies for the various die cutting machines, but we're a thrifty bunch! There are all kinds of videos that show you different "sandwiches" that…

Winter Wonderland Wall-Hanging

I made this as a class to teach at a local scrap store. A while back, I had bought a stack of chipboard and the deep-cut blade for my Cricut from an online store. I had it in my head that I was going to make my own chipboard minis… but that didn’t happen. I…

The ultimate thrift: Upcycling a DIY project !!!

You know you're a craft-addict when you upcycle a previous DIY project. Oh my... ;D A few years ago, a couple of my girlfriends and I went to Joanns and got fleece to make some tie blankets. (Here's a tutorial for tie blankets if you haven't made one before, they're super easy and no-sew!) I…

Sprucing it up!

For years and years, I've been collecting pictures of home decor ideas, architectural layouts, paint techniques, interesting feng shui tips and more, just waiting for the day that I can start decorating my very own home! However, the boy and I are still renting... and I was getting tired of holding back on the decorating…

Father’s Day Project!

So I'm always kindof hesitant to make something crafty for the men in my life, wondering if it will be manly enough. I did dive into making a really-mini mini for my boyfriend for Valentines Day (click here to see it!) and not only does he keep it on the night stand on his side…

To all my ladies out there that LoVe makeup!!

Hey ladies!! Hope everyone is doing well this fine Tuesday! If you're like me, you're anxiously counting the days until the weekend, hoping the next few days fly by! I have some exciting news to share... Out there in the vast YouTube-sphere, I discovered monthly beauty box subscription sites and they are AWESOME! I wanted…

Christmas Cookie Recipe Book

Hey crafters!! OH MY it has been way to long since I've posted, and I apologize! I was in the middle of moving and trying to find a job now that I'm settled in Utah. Thanks for your patience! I have a wonderful new project that I'd love to show you 🙂      …

Decoupage Table

I found myself in need of a coffee table. My little apartment's little living room was looking very sad with just a white loveseat and chair, despite the awesome view... so I needed to spice it up a little! I bought a table set on craigslist that is a low coffee table and 2 matching…

DIY Glimmer Screens

When Tattered Angels introduced Glimmer Mists to the scrap world, I fell in love. The feminity of the shimmer, the ease of instantly dying an embellishment to match your project, endless possibilities! So of course, Tim Holtz followed this up with his glimmer screens, which create a gorgeous negative of the screen on a page,…
