Altered Clipboards

Last year for Christmas I made these altered clipboards for my best friend and my sister-in-law. I love how they turned out!  I saw the paper again at Hobby Lobby the other day, so I think I may make one for myself this year!
I had so much fun making these last year that I […]

Christmas Cards

This is the Christmas card that I made to add to the silent auction basket at school.  I made 10 of them with matching envelopes.

This is the inside of the card. These were super easy and fast to make. Which was a good thing, because I waited until the last minute to make […]

Christmas notbook

For our school’s fall carnival a few weeks ago, I made some Christmas items to add to a basket for the silent auction.  I covered a steno pad with card stock to make a cute little notebook.  These really don’t take that long to make- especially when I read the directions!   But like normal, […]

Halloween Treat

This week my oldest daughter decided that she wanted to give her teachers a treat for Halloween.  She did at least give me a couple of days notice- that’s better than last year.  Anyways, I found these cute Peppermint Pattie spiders at www.splitcoaststampers.com.  They are super easy to make and I think really cute!

Last year my kids had a costume party before Halloween. I copied an invitation that my friend Jami received. I choose 3 1/2 by 5 inch postcards in a neon green. On each side I cute small triangles to hold my spider web which was white string. The spider was made […]

Fabric Covered Bulletin Boards

I made this fabric covered bulletin board for my daughter when we redecorated her room a few months ago. It was super easy and really fun to make. I cut a piece of foam board to the size I wanted. Added some quilt backing to the front. And covered the front […]

Altered Paint Cans

Christine and I made these a few months ago and thought they turned out super cute!
Of course, we love the pink, green and black together, but love the patterns, as well. Instead of using an actual paint can, we used white pails that we found at Michaels. It took some measuring and a […]

Decorate A Denim Bag

I found this idea at Hobby Lobby to decorate a bag. I thought it was so cute and that it’d be perfect for the girls in our brownie troop to hold their items. Due to price per bag, I opted to go with a different shaped bag, which meant some modifications were in […]

Ribbon Storage

I have a love affair with pretty ribbons!  I love to use them on cards, scrapbook pages, and paper crafts.  I didn’t love how I had them stored!  They were all jumbled up together in a drawer.  One day while I was playing on www.splitcoaststampers.com, I found a picture of ribbon stored in glass jars.  […]

Desk Organization

I’ve been very slowly getting my scrapbooking and stamping supplies organized.  I found these plain cardboard pencil boxes on clearance at Target months ago.  Yesterday I finally finished covering them with patterned cardstock and ribbon.
It was very simple.  I cut the cardstock to the correct width and adhered it to the boxes with double stick […]
