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.

30th Birthday Hat

This post is a bit overdue, but thought I’d go ahead and share my creation. My sister turned 30 last month and her husband and another friend threw her a surprise party. Considering the number of people that were involved and invited, I’m amazed that she didn’t even realize something was going on […]

After spending way too much time on the paper isle at Hobby Lobby, I finally made a decision on the paper I wanted to use. I discovered the paper I chose also had ribbon […]

Gift Card Holder

Today is my youngest daughter’s last day of preschool / MDO. I can’t believe she’ll be starting kindergarten in the fall. I won’t know what to do with an entire day of silence, but I’m totally looking forward to it! I wanted to thank her preschool teacher for making this year so […]

Altered Clipboards

I love pretty paper! I have a large collection of patterned papers for all my future projects. My problem is that I keep buying it when I know that I have tons to choose from at home! I must be addicted to paper…
One fun, easy project that I’ve used my paper for […]
