Stamp Storage

As you know by now,
I love to make crafts using household finds.
I use cereal boxes, scrap pieces of fabric and wood, cans, or mason jars.
I love to make ordinary...
 extraordinary. 
It really is a beautiful thing to turn unwanted objects into valuable treasures.

Old Door Photo Display

Instagram and old doors are my weaknesses.
I had to find a way to pull them together...
This past week, I went to a graduation party.
All the graduates set up a little area to represent a bit about their life.
I looked around, and I spotted a rather creative display.
She had her Instagram pictures clipped on twine!
Immediately, I thought of my old door at home,
which I had bought at a yard sale for $10 not too long ago.
Wouldn't it look precious if I had my Instagram photos hanging on it?!
This is the finished product...

My Mini Town


This past week was a full on adventure. 
   My dad and I spent 3 days at Disney World.
We were what you call "those" Disney fanatics. 
We were at every park when the gates opened, and stayed 'til their latest hours. We got fast pass, after fast pass. 
We hit it hard.
 As much fun as the trip was,
 I am happy to return to my peaceful hometown.
 As I sit here on the plane writing this post,
 I'm so excited to share with you my latest project!
This is mainly a fun way for you to release your inner creativity!
There is no tutorial,
 just a bit of inspiration.
I call it my "mini town".

Watercolor on Book Pages


This summer is full of fun times,
and "blah" moments.
I know I want to make a craft, 
but I don't want to get out of the recliner.
I know I would benefit more from a creative project,
but I don't want to miss which house they buy on House Hunters.
I like the idea of having to think outside the box,
but at the same time I don't.
I think this comes from the thought of having to spend a lot of time on one project.
Therefore,
 if I had a quick, simple project,
 I might actually get up and do it.
This is the perfect project!

Cereal Box Kite with Wash-tape Bows


Summer is the most exciting, 
yet laziest season of the year.
My summer days usually roll as follows;
craft, swim, sleep.
I usually stay in pj's until noon,
and eat at random times to work around my crafting. 
My craft for today was to bring a small piece of summer into my bedroom.
I decided on creating a kite.
They are "summery" right?!
